Chapter 1221: Just Go and Comfort My Brother

Nian Xi’s aunty came over and whispered to her, “Your boyfriend is trying so hard to earn your grandma’s favor. He’s even pretending that he doesn’t know how WeChat works.”
Nian Xi looked at her helplessly and said, “He doesn’t know how it works. He didn’t even have a cellphone when I first met him.”
“No way!” Her aunt was surprised. “Who doesn’t use a cellphone these days? You found yourself a treasure. Nowadays, many guys spend their waking hours staring at their phones, chatting or playing games. Look at Junlei. His girlfriend broke up with him because he spent too much time on his phone.”
“Mom, please. The people who don’t know the truth might think I was chatting with some girls online. I was watching international news.”
“Hehe, yeah. You are concerned about a lot of things. You are even interested in international news.”
At this point, the wait staff started serving the meal.
Murong Cheng told Luosang and Nian Junting to come over and take a seat. Luosang came first. Nian Junting put Apple in her arms, then picked up a glass of wine to propose a toast.
Nian Xi asked Luosang, “What happened between you and my brother just now? You guys weren’t even talking to each other.”
“I don’t know.” Luosang was confused too. “He asked me a question. He wanted me to tell him if he or Jiang Yuning looked younger. I answered the question and then he got angry.”
Nian Xi blinked. “What did you say?”
“I said that Jiang Yuning is so much younger than he is, so he doesn’t need to compare himself to him. That’s the truth. I don’t know what’s in his mind.”
Nian Xi sat in silence.
Those were the most hurtful words her brother had heard today.
She cleared her throat, then patted Luosang on the shoulder and said, “Actually, Jiang Yuning is thirty years old too, just like my brother.”
Luosang’s eye popped out in shock. Then she stammered, “He… he doesn’t look thirty.”
“Just go and comfort my brother. I’ll hold Apple for you.” Nian Xi took the baby from her.
“Oh, okay, thank you.” Luosang hurriedly walked toward Nian Junting.
Seeing Nian Xi holding the baby, Jiang Yuning moved next to her and carefully looked at the baby’s face. Normally, he had no feelings for children at all. However, he liked that baby, probably because he looked a little like Nian Xi.
Apple stared back at him with his large, black, sparkling eyes.
Jiang Yuning looked back at the boy. The two of them stared at each other’s eyes without making a sound.
After spending a short time eating, Nian Xi found the two of them still staring at each other.
“What are you two doing? Communicating with each other through your eyes?” she said.
“I think he wants to talk to me. Jiang Yuning reached out his arms and said, “Give him to me. You can focus on your food.”
“Do you know how to hold him?” Nian Xi didn’t trust him with the baby.
“I will be holding a baby sooner or later. I can practice.” Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, then answered her question.
“Yes, you should let him practice.” Nian Junlei instantly agreed with Jiang Yuning. “Xi is never gonna be a great mother. She’s heavy-handed.”
“Shut up.” Nian Xi felt like shoving a big chunk of meat in his mouth to stop him from talking.
Why on earth were her brother and cousin both so sharp-tongued? It was not easy for her to grow into a mentally healthy person around those two.
“It’s okay. I’ll be looking after our children,” said Jiang Yuning. “All Xi has to do is to be happy.”
“Aw, did you all hear him? How sweet.” Grandma Nian was so happy.
“Young man, acting is more important than saying. Who can’t say sweet words?” said Nian Qingyun coldly.
