Chapter 1537: So You Did It Again

“Jiang Yuning texted me last night to get me to remind you to take the pills. But I was drunk yesterday, and your brother read it instead. So he bought this for you,” Luosang explained with a grin. She could guess what Nian Xi was puzzled about. “I genuinely had no idea about it.”

Nian Xi lowered her head and lifted her bowl of porridge, before gulping down one big mouthful of it. Half a minute later, her face felt less hot. She then looked up and said, “If I don’t savor a good taste of him, who knows if he’ll hook up with some other woman behind my back for the subsequent three years? I’m his first girlfriend after all, so it’s bound to leave a deep impression on him. This will also serve as some sort of control over him.”

“So you’ve done it again,” Luosang said unreservedly. Although she heard Nian Junting rant about Jiang Yuning early in the morning, she did not believe that Jiang Yuning was the one who started it.

“You’re right. I got him drunk,” Nian Xi said lazily.

Luosang felt like she had to take her hat off to Nian Xi.

She envied her as well. If a woman was to live her life like Nian Xi, at least she would not have any regrets.

“But was it worth it?” Luosang asked. She felt that what Nian Xi had done was too much, and she was speechless.

At the same time, she felt like she had been very pretentious and artificial in the past.


Luosang then sighed and said, “No matter what, this is for your own good. It’s also an act of responsibility towards the child. It’s not so easy to raise a kid. Besides…”

She seemed like she had something else to say, but she stopped herself at the last second.

However, Nian Xi completed her sentence for her and said, “Besides, he may not necessarily make it back alive.”

“I’m sorry, Nian Xi,” Luosang said apologetically. She also wished dearly for Jiang Yuning to return home alive. However, working as an undercover was an extremely dangerous matter, to begin with.

“I get it. Don’t worry, I don’t intend to get pregnant. I must also try my best since he’s fighting hard in the tiger’s den. When the time comes, I hope that I can personally destroy the TOX organization, and pick him up instead of fetching him from the airport with our child. That’ll be too tacky,” Nian Xi said. She then took the birth control pills and swallowed them.

Luosang heaved a sigh of relief, thankful for the fact that Nian Xi was quite different from the average girl.

Nian Xi left after breakfast. Although Luosang asked her to stay over for some time, Nian Xi turned her down with the reason that she had to get ready to head to work the next day.

She only received news of Jiang Yuning’s disappearance in Italy after four days.

However, this was a confidential case, and the upper management had requested to withhold it from the public. Nonetheless, the news still spread internally within the police department.

After Nian Xi came to know of this, she hid at home again for a week until the Director summoned her to the office. When he saw how much weight she had lost, he looked grave and sympathetic. “Nian Xi, seeing the state that you’re in, I’d advise you to use your annual leave. After all, the Bureau has already approved your three months’ worth of medical leave previously,” he said.

“I’m fine,” Nian Xi replied. She then clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes began to redden. To get others to believe her, she had to appear to be sufficiently grievous. “I need to pull myself together soon. I have to put the mastermind behind bars!”

“That’s Interpol’s role,” the Director said with a frown. “You just have to do your job well. I’ll have to terminate you temporarily if you insist on investigating the TOX organization. Based on your current abilities, that’s not something that you can step into. Jiang Yuning is a citizen of China, and he’s also our country’s scientist, so the police will certainly locate him and account for his safety.”

“Thanks, Director,” Nian Xi replied as tears inevitably flowed down her cheeks.

The Director let out a deep sigh before he said, “Here, wipe your face with some tissue. Jiang Yuning’s parents have already gone over to Italy. Someone will pack up his things on his behalf. You… should look ahead in life.”
