Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“You’re getting on fine even if you do need the money. Keep your money. If it ends up with me, I might pocket everything when I turn it into a million dollars,” Nian Junting said coldly. “Also, aren’t you embarrassed talking about 10,000 dollars? You bring shame to the Nian family, so pathetic.”

Nian Xi, “…”

Her blood brother wasn’t even half as good as someone else’s cousin.

She was frustrated. “What’s the big deal? If you refuse to manage my money, I can ask someone else. Let me tell you, do you know who Xuan Yuanlang is? I’m going to be his sister-in-law.”

Silence. Nian Junting finally spoke after a while, “Are you retarded?”

“Haha! Why would I lie to you? Goodbye, this is the last time I’ll ask you to manage my finances. I won’t entertain the idea even if you beg me.” Nian Xi abruptly hung up after her spiteful comments.

When she turned around, she found Jiang Yuning smiling as he stood beside the bed. “Xixi, you’ve decided to marry me?”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. I was trying to get back at my brother.” Nian Xi covered her face with the duvet out of frustration.

Jiang Yuning was disappointed. “Xixi, you only have 10,000 dollars in savings? That’s very little; you are so poor.”

“…”

Nian Xi was wholly torn down. She sat up angrily and huffed, “So what? I’m ambitious! I may be poor, but I’m pretty!”

“True.” Jiang Yuning winced when she shouted at him.

Nian Xi grunted and lay back down on the bed. Things were quiet when she realized that Jiang Yuning had lain down on the floor beside her with the duvet. He was getting ready to sleep there.

She quickly beckoned him and said, “Come sleep with me. I came here not for you to sleep separately from me.”

Jiang Yuning patted the condom in his pocket subconsciously; he had planned to go to bed this way that night.

He was a little nervous for some reason when she called out this way, but he was still quite happy and super excited.

“If you’re not going to come up to sleep with me, I’m going down there,” Nian Xi giggled cheekily.

“Don’t! It’s cold down here.” Jiang Yuning got on his feet immediately and said, “Hold on, I have to use the bathroom.”

He lowered his head and walked over to the bathroom and retrieved the bottle of beer he hid in the cupboard earlier. He opened it and gulped the whole thing down. He hardly ever drank, and the beer tasted bitter and vile on his tongue.

He instantly felt a surge of warmth, overwhelming his chest. Then he brushed his teeth and left the room.

“Come lie here.” Nian Xi patted the bed and beckoned him.

Jiang Yuning lay down and felt the alcohol hit him. He was getting dizzy.

Nian Xi didn’t notice any of this; she started circling his body with her arms like an octopus. She rested her head on his chest and said, “You don’t want to sleep with me?”

“No…” Jiang Yuning was feeling uncomfortable once she plastered her body against his.

“Your face is so red.” Nian Xi touched his cheeks. “You’re feeling shy?”

Jiang Yuning tried to hide his face in the duvet.

“I think this is the first time we’re lying in the same bed together.” Nian Xi enjoyed bullying him like this; she was grinning when she started unbuttoning his shirt one by one as she leaned forward and kissed him on his kips.

Jiang Yuning was panting as she kissed him. His brain was getting hazy, “Xixi, don’t… don’t do this…”

“Don’t do what?” Nian Xi felt as if she was becoming a female hooligan; it was exhilarating for her as well.

Jiang Yuning grunted; he was extremely uncomfortable. He couldn’t take it anymore as he flipped her around and pressed down on her.

Nian Xi was stunned. She stared into his eyes, his gaze burning with passion.
