Chapter 1271: She’s Been Perky Every Day
“Does Yuning talk to that girl?” Hearing Shi Qingtong’s words, He Xin’s heart sank.
Shi Qingtong sighed. “Uncle Han said that Yuning is willing to talk now. It’s all because of the girl. I’ve talked to Yuning. I can tell that he cares a lot about her and that he relies on her. You know, he had a bad experience when he was little, so I don’t have the heart to say anything bad to him, or give him a hard time...”
“I get it.” He Xin realized that Shi Qingtong intended to let her son do whatever he liked, instead of helping her.
“Xinxin, I’m sorry.” Shi Qingtong gave a bitter smile. “You probably wouldn’t be happy if you and Yuning got together. He’s too introverted.”
“Aunty, I know. I gotta go.” He Xin hurriedly ended the call.
Holding the phone, Shi Qingtong didn’t feel good. After all, she knew He Xin since she was a little girl. She turned and said to her husband, “I feel sorry for Xinxin.”
Jiang Fei nodded and said, “Let’s make a trip to Xia City to meet Yuning’s girlfriend and to get my daisy back.”
Shi Qingtong glared at him and said, “I think getting your daisy back is your main purpose.”
“You know how much effort I spent on that daisy,” said Jiang Fei sulkily. “Now it’s taken from me and I can’t eat or sleep. All I can do now is to numb myself by studying the turtle shell. I’ll accept her as my daughter-in-law if she gives my daisy back.”
Shi Qingtong didn’t even want to talk to him. She walked away, but by the door, she reminded him, “Keep a close eye on your lily of the valley. Don’t come to me and cry if that one is gone too.”
“The lily of the valley is planted in the earth. He won’t dig it out, will he?” Jiang Fei said.
“I don’t know.”
Jiang Fei hurriedly went to the backyard to transplant his plants.
...
Xia City.
Nian Xi got a call, then happily sprung up from her seat. Fang Qi glanced at her and asked her, “What are you doing?”
“I’m getting off work early today. You’ll be handling the rest of the work.” Nian Xi patted him on the shoulder and said smilingly.
“Do you have a date?” Fang Qi raised his eyebrows.
“No. Yuning got me a robot chef. I’m going home to welcome it.” Nian Xi was so excited.
Fang Qi opened his mouth wide. “Damn! Gifts from that scientist are special indeed! Xi, ask Professor Jiang if he has some scientist friends who are still single. Introduce them to me. I’m single.”
Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said, “I don’t think he has any friends. Besides, all the people he works with are men.”
“It’s okay, I can come out of the closet,” Fang Qi said hurriedly.
Nian Xi felt speechless. Was the robot chef so attractive?
“Eh... I’ll ask him someday,” Nian Xi said, then left.
Not long after she left, Feng Ji Chuan came in with a stack of files. Fang Qi looked at him and sighed. “Ji Chuan, she has a boyfriend already? Why are you still helping her with her case every day like this? Stop wasting your energy. You still have so many cases of your own. Look at those dark circles under your eyes.”
Feng Ji Chuan smiled bitterly and said, “I never did enough for her and I don’t know what else I can do for her. She might be unhappy if I tried too hard. I have no idea how to pursue a girl.”
“I honestly don’t think you have a chance. Your opponent is a scientist,” said Fang Qi. “Professor Jiang got her a robot chef. How many people can do that? Also, Nian Xi has shown some of those secret weapons she has during the fieldwork. Those are seriously amazing. She’s been perky every day.”
