Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Luosang raised her hand to scratch him.

“It’s all your fault. I told you to be gentle, but you wouldn’t listen…”

“Good girl, then you still have some energy left,” Nian Junting looked at her with a knowing smile, raising his eyebrows as if he were looking at a piece of meat on the chopping board. “Why did you tell me were exhausted just now? You lied to me.”

“I didn’t…” Luosang stuttered, “I really am…”

“Liar. I think we can continue doing it,” Nian Junting said, then pushed her down on the bed again.

At last, Luosang was exhausted for real. She had no energy left at all. She couldn’t even raise her arm.

In the morning, she didn’t even have the strength to pick up her son.

Nian Junting handed Apple to Nian Xi and said, “Take care of your nephew. Your sister-in-law is exhausted from last night. Mom isn’t here, and Sister Lan went home. So, you’re the only one to look after the baby.”

Nian Xi was stunned at first. Then she looked at Luosang’s tired face that was also wearing a happy look, which was hard to conceal. She started to feel frustrated.

“You said she’s exhausted. She didn’t exhaust herself from taking care of the baby, did she,” said Nian Xi.

Luosang was so embarrassed. She didn’t expect Nian Junting to hand over the baby to someone else. “Your brother was joking, let me do it,” she said.

“No, you’re too tired. Why are you pushing yourself so hard? You gasped for air this morning when you fed the baby,” Nian Junting stopped her and said affectionately to her, “Let her do it. She’ll get married someday. She can practice with our son.”

Nian Xi said through clenched teeth, “Why don’t you do it? This is your son.””I’m tired too,” said Nian Junting blandly, “You don’t understand it now, but you will after you get married.

“You’re weak,” Nian Xi gave him two words.

Nian Junting instantly felt humiliated. “Ask your sister-in-law if I’m weak. Don’t make stupid statements if you don’t know what you’re talking about.” After saying that, he turned and left.

Luosang felt like crawling into a hole and dying! On the very first day of the year, she wanted to poison her husband to keep him from talking.

“Eh… Nian Xi…”

“It’s okay,” Nian Xi forced a smile that looked even worse than a crying face. “Give the baby to me if you’re too tired to hold him. You don’t want to accidentally drop him, do you?”

It was all because she was single. She was so unlucky.

She spent the whole New Year looking after her nephew. Every guest who visited the family would say to her, “Nian Xi, you’re a mother now!”

“No, this is my brother’s son,” she explained.

“Oh, you really love children. You should have one of your own.”

Nian Xi didn’t know how to respond to that.

She wasn’t crazy about kids. Her brother drained his wife of energy every single night and made her look after their son.

The world looked down on single people and treated them differently.

Finally, she went back to work on the seventh day of the New Year. Fang Qi gave her a pile of files once she walked into the police station. Her hands were trembling and the files all fell to the ground.

“What happened to your hands during the vacation?” Fan Qi asked with a surprised look on his face.

“Oh, I was taking care of my nephew. I held the baby every day. My hands are sore. I can’t even hold my gun now. I couldn’t wait to get back to work. I’m now I’m here. For the first time, I feel that the precinct is a wonderful place.”

Fang Qi patted her on the shoulder with a look of pity.

“Stop chatting. The staff meeting is about to start. The director’s coming to make a speech,” Fan Yi reminded them.

Nain Xi and Fang Xi quickly headed upstairs to the conference room.

The director gave a standard New Year speech. During the meeting, he commended a few police officers, including Feng Ji Chuan. Before New Year, he had solved a few large cases with Captain Luo and caught a drug dealer. Now he was being promoted to squadron leader.
