Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“What kind of like were you talking about? The kind between friends?” Nian Junting said blandly, “You’re not friends, so he surely can’t like you. Don’t think too much. You only need to like me.”

Luo Sang found that she wasn’t able to communicate with Nian Junting about feelings. However, she thought carefully and felt that he was probably right. It was the first time Feng Ji Chuan had met her, and he knew nothing about her. So indeed, he didn’t have a reason to like her. She didn’t like him, either. She was just curious about him because of Nian Xi. Thinking this way, she stopped struggling over this question.

As they arrived at the military region hospital, Mrs. Feng was there, too. She had a weird look on her face uopn seeing Luo Sang. Right at that moment, a doctor called Feng Ji Chuan’s family and said, “The medical facilities where Ji Chuan came from aren’t good enough, and with the long travel time, his wounds are getting pretty serious. He had better stay in the hospital for a week.”

“Aunty, I’ll look after Ji Chuan. I’ve already asked for time off,” Nian Xi offered.

Mrs. Feng smiled. However, before she could answer, Feng Ji Chuan said in a soft voice, “My mother has hired a carer for me. You don’t need to be here at night. You can come here in daytime.”

“But…” Nian Xi pouted.

“You,” Mrs. Feng glanced at Ji Chaun and said discontentedly, “You’re rarely back. Nian Xi just wants to seize the time to be with you. She’ll keep you company.”

“The hospital is dirty, and she can’t sleep well here.” Feng Ji Chuan frowned helplessly.

“Alright, in that case, let’s do what Ji Chuan said,” Nian Junting said to Nian Xi, “You’ll sleep at home.”

Nian Xi gave him a threatening glance. At that moment, someone knocked on the door to the ward. Everyone turned to look at the door and saw Nian Qingyun and his chauffeur walking in, carrying a bunch of fruit and nutritional supplements.

“Ji Chuan, are you feeling better?” asked Nian Qingyun. “I’m here to see you.”

“Uncle, I just got here, and you’re already showing up. You’re really efficient,” Feng Ji Chuan said jokingly.

Nian Qingyun laughed and said, “Haha, I have to. You’re my future son-in-law.” However, the grin on his face froze when he saw Luo Sang, who was standing beside Nian Junting.

“Mr. Nian.” Luo Sang didn’t like him, as she had heard his story. However, he was Nian Junting’s father, after all, so she greeted him politely.

Nian Qingyun didn’t look at Luo Sang, but turned to his son with a dark face and said, “Isn’t this your gossip girlfriend that everyone talked about earlier? Didn’t you break up?”

“We broke up for a couple of days, now we’re back together.” Nian Junting held Luo Sang’s hand and said, “Let me introduce your future daughter-in-law to you.”

“You…” Nian Qingyun’s face twisted slightly. However, he controlled himself, as many people were on the scene. Remembering his important purpose, he didn’t lose his temper but turned to Mr. Feng, smiled, and asked, “Feng, at this age, how’s your journey to the China-India border?”

“It was too much to take.” Mr. Feng waved his hands and laughed. “Thankfully, Junting and Si were with me. As we’re all here now, I want to talk about the wedding. Ji Chuan and Nian Xi have been engaged for years. As Ji Chuan is taking injury leave this time, I think they should hold a wedding at New Year’s. We don’t want any further delay.”

“We’re thinking the same thing.” Nian Qingyun looked delighted. “There are quite a few lucky dates after New Year’s. I think Ji Chuan shouldn’t always be a soldier away from home. Next year, I’ll find a way to transfer him back to Xia City.”

“Uncle Nian, Dad, I want to stay in the army,” Feng Ji Chuan said abruptly. The ward fell into silence. Nian Xi stared at him, confused.
