Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Chapter 872: Are You Having a Problem With Mr. Jiang?

Nian Xi bit her lip and said, “I know that he only wants a friend. But it could be seen as flirty in others’ eyes…”

“Officer Nian, It turns out that you care a lot about how other people think of you.” Uncle Han smiled and said, “I get it. I’ll make it clear with Mr. Jiang and tell him not to bother you again. See you.”

After he was finished talking, Uncle Han turned and walked away.

“Eh, that’s not what I meant.” Nian Xi scratched her scalp and said, “I just…”

She was always a smart talker, but at that moment, she stuttered.

“It’s all right. Everyone has the right to choose friends. Perhaps, you don’t want to be friends with Mr. Jiang because he is too weird. That is very reasonable. Many people are like that. They admire him for his work but stay away from him because of his character. I can understand. I just feel a little sorry for Mr. Jiang, as he got up at six in the morning and waited out there to see you.” Uncle Han gave a faint smile and then left.

Nian Xi was depressed.

Uncle Han’s words made her feel guilty. It wasn’t like that she didn’t want to be friends with him.

He sometimes held her hand and refused to let go, and sometimes asked her to feed him. Was that how people treated their friends?

However, she understood that she couldn’t judge him with the standard of normal people, as he had a character flaw.

…

At six in the evening, Jiang Yuning was lying on the bed and his stomach was rumbling. As he stood up and opened the door, Uncle Han came in with a serving cart.

Jiang Yuning put on his shoes and shook his head. Uncle Han understood that he wanted to go out and have a meal with Nian Xi.

“Have you forgotten that you had a fight with Officer Nian earlier? You need to eat in your room tonight,” Uncle Han said to him.

Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then shook his head again. He worried that Uncle Han might not get his meaning, so he picked up the notebook and pen on the nightstand and wrote —’I woke up, forgot about that.’

Uncle Han smiled and said, “But I’ve talked to Officer Nian this afternoon. She said she doesn’t want to have a meal with you and she doesn’t want to be your friend.”

Hearing his words, Jiang Yuning was in a daze for a while, and then his eyes suddenly became lusterless.

Uncle Han felt sorry for him. He knew that it was cruel, but he also knew that Mr. Jiang was a very frank person. Sometimes, to achieve a better result, he had to tell him the truth.

“If you keep talking to her, looking at her and following behind her, she’ll dislike you more and more. So, to avoid bringing her trouble, don’t look at her, talk or have meals with her anymore, okay?”

Jiang Yuning shook his head quickly.

He couldn’t do that.

That was too painful, even more painful than losing his shumai.

“Do what you want then. But Officer Nian will dislike you more and more. She might even refuse to go to Paris with you,” said Uncle Han helplessly.

Jiang Yuning paused for a short while, and then lowered his head.

Uncle Han pretended not to notice his sad face and served the food.

Jiang Yuning had no appetite. He had a few bites, then laid back down.

Uncle Han returned to the dining room and said to Nian Xi and the others, “You don’t need to wait for Mr. Jiang. He already had a meal in his room.”

Zhan Hong felt a little sorry. “Have we been bothering Mr. Jiang? We can eat in another room actually…”

“It’s not like that. Mr. Jiang is in a bad mood. He has no appetite.” While speaking, Uncle Han glanced at Nian Xi. After that, he left to do his work.

Zhan Hong immediately looked at Nian Xi seriously and said, “Are you having a problem with Mr. Jiang?”

“Eh… no…” Nian Xi picked up her chopsticks, responding without confidence.
