Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Yeah, we’re not married yet, but it’s only a matter of time. Young people nowadays enjoy calling each other ‘hubby’ and ‘wifey,’ anyway. I wasn’t used to it at first, but my wife insisted.” Nian Junting patted Luo Sang’s hands lovingly and looked at her with affection.

“…”

Xiao Si was about to throw up.

Yi Jingxi knew that he was trying to anger him with his words, but his heart still ached thinking about Luo Sang calling another man her husband. He was in great pain. After holding himself back for a couple of minutes, he said dully, “Watch your words, Mr. Nian. It’ll be really awkward for the lady if you don’t end up marrying her.”

“True, like how you were engaged to my wife before, Mr. Yi. It was pretty awkward how your engagement fell apart.” Mr. Nian nodded thoughtfully.

“…”

Yi Jingxi uncrossed and crossed his legs again. He was on the verge of punching him. He inhaled a sharp breath to calm himself down. It would be best not to engage Nian Junting further.

Nian Junting, on the other hand, wasn’t about to let him off so easily. It was a golden opportunity to get his revenge. He hadn’t forgotten all the heart-piercing things Yi Jingxi had said to him at the hospital. Although he couldn’t ruin his career right away, he could torture his mind. It was an amusing task for him. He could tell that Yi Jingxi still had feelings for Luo Sang. That would be the only reason why Yi Jingxi looked at them with such jealousy and envy, why he would jump into the pool to save Luo Sang without any hesitation, and why he was so anxious and worried at the hospital.

“Oh right, wife, we talked about going on a vacation during the winter break, right? Have you thought about where you want to go?” Nian Junting rested his arm on Luo Sang’s shoulders. “Let’s go to the beach and stay at one of those floating villas. We can go stargazing at night!”

“Alright, hubby.” Luo Sang decided to play along with the act and smiled.

Yi Jingxi felt a sharp pain in his chest. She had never addressed him that way before. She was calling another man her hubby. He was heartbroken and could no longer take it. He stood up abruptly and said, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Zhong Yi glared viciously at Luo Sang.

“What are you looking at,” Nian Junting hissed. “Are you jealous of my wife’s beauty?”

“…”

“I know you’re jealous. Do you want me to recommend a plastic surgery clinic to you? My company is invested in one now. I can give you a discount, on the account of Mr. Yi, of course.”

Zhong Yi was speechless, she cursed him in her mind. She had never met a man who was so brazenly mean before.

“Wifey, you sit here with Xiao Si, I need the restroom, too.” Nian Junting released her hand and stood up.

Luo Sang blinked in disbelief. Was he going to pester Yi Jingxi at the toilet as well? That would be a little excessive, wouldn’t it? She should be the one obsessed with getting revenge. He was so full of aggressiveness, there was no need for her to defend herself at all.

…

In the men’s room, Yi Jingxi splashed his face with cold water. He slowly pulled out a silver engagement band from his pocket. It was the ring that he had picked out with Luo Sang at the mall the day they got engaged. They were so in love then, but now, she was with another man, laughing by his side, calling him her husband. He thought the most painful part was not being able to tell her how much he loved her.

He was wrong.

The most painful part was watching her fall in love with someone else. He was in so much pain and unbearable misery.
