After leaving the Feng family, Luosang felt that even the air outside made her feel free and comfortable. She didnât like the atmosphere in the Feng family. However, if she married Nian Junting, and Nian Xi married Ji Chuan, she would certainly need to get together with Feng family people pretty often in the future.
âDonât drive too fast,â Nian Junting reminded her. Today Luosang was driving. That huge off-road car made her feel like she was driving a tank. Luosang heard him but ignored him.
âWeâve already left. Are you still jealous?â Nian Junting turned to ask her. âThey invited me to karaoke, but I refused.â
Luosang hesitated for a while, then told him the truth. âI feel that youâre a little different today.â
Nian Junting was puzzled for a second and then said, âDifferent how? Iâm the same as usual.â
âYou didnât act naturally in front of Leng Shuangwei,â said Luosang. âYou love to show off our relationship, but you didnât do it in front of her.â
âAre you unhappy because I didnât show off our relationship?â Nian Junting stared straight at her with a pair of dark eyes. âDo you want me to flaunt our relationship in front of Leng Shuangwei?â
Luosang felt annoyed. She didnât understand it, either. âYou werenât like this in front of Chi Shengxu and Yi Jingxi. I think you care about her feelings.â
âWomen always like to overthink things, and you really are sensitive.â Nian Junting smiled. He glanced at Luosang helplessly and said, âBut I wonât mind, as you only think this way because you love me so much. Luosang, I hope you understand that I did what I did not because I still love her, but because itâs the most basic respect to a woman who used to be my girlfriend.â
He paused for a second, then continued with a slight frown, âWhat happened years ago wasnât Leng Shuangweiâs fault. She was a victim, too, and her parents divorced. Now, I have a new relationship. If I deliberately show off our relationship in front of her, it may seem like Iâm proud because I found a better girl after we broke up. Youâre not a toy to be shown off, and sheâs not a bad woman. What I can do is to keep a distance from her and try my best not to see her again.â
You said so much because you care about her feelings, am I not right? Luosang thought, You didnât have these worries in front of Nian Xi and Xiao Si. Is this because you used to love each other deeply?
Nian Junting shook his head and said, âAnd in front of her, I didnât act like you and I arenât close. I clearly introduced you to her as my girlfriend. I didnât know that sheâd be there tonight. If I had known, I wouldnât have gone.â
âWhy? Didnât you just say that sheâs a victim, too?â said Luosang.
âYeah, thatâs why Iâm fine with her hanging out with the others. After all, there isnât a problem between her and them. There is a problem between her and me. Itâs not only about what happened between our parents, but also because Iâm with you now. Itâs not appropriate for me to be close to Leng Shuangwei. And of course, I just donât want you to be jealous.â Nian Junting sniffed the air, then smiled and carried on, âHave you smelled it? Since we left the Feng family, my car has been filled with jealousy. Someone has exploded with jealousy.â
Exploded with jealousy... Luosang was a little speechless, but she was also a little relieved. She told herself not to think about the conversation between Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng, or how much Nian Junting used to care about Leng Shuangwei. She told herself to focus on the present.
Luosang thought for a moment, then said, âNext time, if the Feng family invites us again, you should go without me.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy?â Nian Junting asked. âYouâre not mad at Ji Chuan, are you?â
