Chapter 1375: I’ve Been Trying to Get You Out of the House but You Never Want To
“Shut up.” Ji Nuanyi rolled her eyes. “I barely looked at Mo Liuxi and just paid him a little compliment. You argued with me over that for over a few days. Reflect on yourself. Do you have the right to get upset with me? You’ve been looking at women’s bodies in magazines, haven’t you?”
Xiao Si held up his fingers. “I’ve never looked at them ever since we started dating, I swear.”
“I’ll be a pig if I ever believed a man’s words.” Ji Nuanyi paused before continuing saying, “Since you have such eclectic hobbies, I won’t stop you then.”
“…”
Xiao Si swallowed; he had a bad feeling in his gut.
“Let me grant you your wishes then.” Ji Nuanyi called her own assistant. “Xiao Lu, go get a female swimwear magazine. I want to gift them to our dear Mr. Xiao… the more the better. You can get hundreds of them… just let me know how much they cost.”
After she hung up, she said to Xiao Si, “The magazines will be here shortly. You will finish all the magazines and I will be doing an inspection after a month.”
“What are you… doing?” Xiao Si was sweating through his shirt.
Ji Nuanyi was grinning now. “Of course I want you to read them till you’re happy, till you’re satisfied, till you’re sick of them before you come see me. Oh yeah, just a gentle reminder… no matter what you’re going to gift me or how many times you’re going to come see me, I won’t let you touch me at all. I won’t be sleeping with you either.”
She took her pepper spray and approached him again.
Xiao Si backed away timidly until he was out of the door. Ji Nuanyi said, “Xiao Si, I don’t want to criticize you but look at the friends you surround yourself with. People like Zhou Yanfeng and Kashiwa, they’re all bad influences. They’re going through women like they’re shopping for clothes. All you do with them is drink and party. I don’t want to put you down but you’re over thirty years old now. It’s time to work hard. Just look at Nian Junting.”
“You want me to emulate him?” Xiao Si looked at her in disbelief, “He…”
Ji Nuanyi slammed the door in his face.
Xiao Si blinked his eyes and grumpily called Nian Junting. “Tingting, your brother-in-law crossed the line.”
“Hmm, what did he do to you?” Nian Junting recalled that Mo Liuxi had gone to Beijing that day too. He was trying to connect the dots in his head.
Xiao Si told him about the encounter he had with Mo Liuxi in the elevator. “How could he say something like that? I haven’t read those magazines in ages. I feel so wronged now.”
“Don’t be so down,” Nian Junting said casually. “Ji Nuanyi isn’t saying that she wants to break up with you and she didn’t hit you. She’s supporting your hobbies and allowing you to fully release yourself. What’s there to complain about?”
“I…”
“Besides, she does have a point. What are you still doing hanging out with Zhou Yanfeng and Kashiwa? I’m not saying that they’re useless or incapable, but no decent man would be hanging around them as much as you do.” Nian Junting interrupted him saying, “No decent woman would want to marry you at this rate.”
“Don’t say that, it chills my heart,” Xiao Si said weakly.
Nian Junting chuckled. “Every time I go out to entertain a client, Luosang would question me and warn me about hanging out with people like Zhou Yanfeng. She always threatens me about moving back with her family. Women hate stuff like that. You said you wanted to propose to Ji Nuanyi this year didn’t you? It’ll be a miracle if she said yes.”
He hung up after that and Xiao Si was stunned. No, he must not let that happen. He was going to be a different man from that day on.
In the villa, Luosang asked the man who had just put down his phone, “Excuse me, when did I ever question and warn you? I’ve been trying to get you out of the house, but you never want to.”
