Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“I have to show off.” Nian Xi didn’t know the meaning of “shyness” at all. “How have I endured the humiliation of being an old unmarried woman for the past three years? I’m finally married now, to a handsome man and a scientist. If I don’t show off now, when will I show off?”

“Captain, what you said makes a lot of sense,” Fang Qi took the lead and said, “We’ll help you spread this news to every corner of the bureau, especially to captain You and Captain Lu.”

“There’s no need to be too deliberate.” Nian XI put away the marriage certificate. “Alright, our private mode ends here. Now, Let’s start working mode.”

The atmosphere in the office suddenly changed. Everyone knew that Nian Xi was a workaholic when she worked, and she didn’t show any mercy when she lectured people.

As her team hadn’t made much progress in work recently, Nian Xi harshly lectured those people who deserved to be lectured. Then, she ordered the people to do things, and then she personally went to meet the victims’ families.

She was busy until noon when she received a call from Jiang Yuning. “Xixi, are you busy?”

“I’m fine. I’m eating. Have you eaten yet?”

“No, I just bought you some fruit at the supermarket. I was planning to go back, but I suddenly got lost,” Jiang Yuning said gloomily.

“…”

Alright, she had forgotten that he had terrible sense of directions.

“Where are you going to buy fruit? Isn’t there a supermarket outside your house?”

“I think that supermarket is too small. I want to go to a big supermarket,”Jiang Yuning said.

“Don’t you know how to navigate? Then you can navigate back home,” Nian Xi reminded him. She remembered that he knew how to use navigation in the past.

“Okay, then… I’ll navigate,” Jiang Yuning sighed in his heart. He thought about asking her out for lunch. In fact, getting lost was just a small excuse. Xixi was really boring, but she was probably really busy.

“Okay, okay. If you can’t get home with navigation, you can look for Uncle Han.”

“…”

After dinner, Nian Xi and her subordinates worked overtime.

Fang Qi couldn’t bear to say, “Xixi, you just got your certificate yesterday. Why don’t you go back earlier today? Leave this case to us.”

“Yes, yes,” Cheng Zhenzhen said. “Professor Jiang will be lonely and cold at home alone. Look, he said he got lost at noon, but he actually wanted you to find him and have lunch with him or something.”

Nian Xi was stunned. She hadn’t thought of this at first, but now that Cheng Zhenzhen said it, it was indeed possible.

Fine, now he was being petty, but it wasn’t that she didn’t want to accompany him. She really had no choice. Being a police officer was like this. If she wasn’t in a hurry to solve the case, the family would be anxious, and the evidence of the crime would slowly disappear, making it easier for the criminal to get away with it. It was also not safe for citizens.

…

7:30 pm.

In the villa, Jiang Yuning and uncle Han sat opposite each other. In front of them were two dishes and a soup. The room was quiet, and only the sound of little Jiang gnawing on bones could be heard.

Jiang Yuning suddenly let out a bitter sigh. “It’s so boring to be alone on the second day of my wedding.”

Two lines appeared on Uncle Han’s forehead. “Sir, am I not a human being?”

Could he really just ignore him like that?

“You are a human being, but you are not my wife,” Jiang Yuning said truthfully. “You are an old man.”

Uncle Han: “…”

He could have just said the first part, but could he not have added the last part? “Sir, I am only fifty years old, okay? And you will also grow old one day.”

“I will grow old together with Xixi.”

Uncle Han sighed, meaning that he would grow old alone.
