Liu Nian's lips twitched as he listened.
Child, child?
Fang Xiao was also quite embarrassed.
Jing Baisen, being a businessman, knew better than anyone that he couldn't be too harsh in dealing with someone like Fang Xiao, otherwise he might offend Liu Nian.
What can anyone do?
Fang Xiao's palms were sweating profusely. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can rent a place to live later!"
“Why rent a house?” Jing Baisen said, playing with Liu Nian’s hand. “I’m worried about him being there alone. Wouldn’t it be better if you were with him?”
"Huh?" Fang Xiao immediately raised his head.
He really didn't expect Jing Baisen to say that.
Jing Baisen looked at him and snorted coldly, clearly not taking this kind of person seriously.
Even if you gave this kind of person 100 times the courage, they still wouldn't dare to touch their own things.
It would be better to put it more nicely; that way, I might get a better impression from Liu Nian...
Liu Nian might be happy too, and then he might just beg and plead to give him the ring again.
Jing Baisen was plotting something, and without realizing it, he squeezed Liu Nian's hand so hard it hurt.
Liu Nian gave a cold hiss.
Jing Baisen lowered his eyes, looked at his hand, rubbed it, and gently asked him, "Does it hurt?"
Liu Nian really didn't know what to say, except that his lips twitched involuntarily and he got a few goosebumps. He said, "It doesn't hurt."
Fang Xiao, who was looking at him, was speechless.
Jing Baisen rubbed Liu Nian's hands, then glanced at Fang Xiao, his voice turning noticeably colder as he asked, "Is there anything else?"
Fang Xiao paused for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "No, it's nothing... I'll go now."
Liu Nian was about to get up to see him off, but Jing Baisen held him tightly and said, "Butler, go and have the driver take him home."
Since Jing Baisen had already said that, Liu Nian really couldn't say anything more.
Fang Xiao left in a daze, and as he got into the driver's car, he looked back one last time.
The Jing family...
Once he was sure Fang Xiao had left, Jing Baisen released Liu Nian and then casually poured himself a cup of tea.
Liu Nian looked at him, gritting his teeth and smiling.
As soon as Jing Baisen looked at him, Liu Nian immediately shut his mouth.
Jing Baisen asked him, "When are you leaving?"
Liu Nian: "...and less than a month."
"How dare you leave?" Jing Baisen said sarcastically. "Do you think you can squeeze every last drop out of me before you leave?"
Liu Nian's lips twitched again.
How could he say something like that so seriously?
Liu Nian leaned back on the sofa, looking at him sideways.
Jing Baisen simply looked back at him openly and honestly.
The more Liu Nian couldn't say it, the more it showed that she actually wanted to break up with him.
A person who can make money is already financially secure. What does someone who is financially secure want from themselves?
Do you love me?
Jing Baisen thought to himself, it's not that I can't love him... just a little bit.
[Ding! Jing Baisen's Antisocial Index: 2.0%!]
Jing Baisen tilted his head slightly towards the upstairs and said, "As you wish, let's go upstairs."
"..." Liu Nian really wanted to spit in his face.
What does it mean to have things go as planned?
But it's really hard to imagine that Jing Baisen, that old rogue, could still not break up with me after I told him I was going to study abroad.
So it's perfectly reasonable for me to take a step back and treat him better, isn't it?
And so Liu Nian took the initiative to pester her.
For a whole month, without a break every day.
Finally, it was time to leave. Liu Nian looked as if he had finally been freed, and his smile was genuine.
Jing Baisen frowned repeatedly at his laughter and immediately ordered, "Once you arrive and have settled in, come back to me right away!"
"Huh?" Liu Nian felt like he hadn't heard that clearly. "You, what did you say?"
What do you mean he should come back as soon as he's packed up?
So he's coming back so soon after he left?
Just as Liu Nian was about to refuse, Jing Baisen grabbed his chin and said, "You dare not come back and see what happens!"
Liu Nian... dare not!
However, he looked genuinely frustrated, since the round trip would take six hours, not to mention the expensive plane tickets.
In the end, Liu Nian only dared to retort with one sentence: "...I can come back, anyway, once I get there I will definitely miss you, but, but even if I miss you in the future, I will have to endure it!"
Jing Baisen: "..."
What did he mean by that? Does he mean that after he goes abroad, he will only come back once?
Jing Baisen was so angry that his teeth were itchy.
But he didn't say anything.
Jing Baisen didn't get to see Liu Nian give him the ring again until Liu Nian boarded the plane.
This made Jing Baisen so angry that he was almost annoyed.
When Liu Nian really did as he promised, and after only one day abroad, he returned to find him, Jing Baisen's expression finally improved a little.
Liu Nian was exhausted, but he still had to force a smile.
That evening, Jing Baisen tormented him again.
Liu Nian lay in his arms and said, "...The plane tickets are quite expensive. I don't have that much money. This round trip cost me more than 1,000 yuan."
Jing Baisen: "..."
He knew that Liu Nian didn't want him to reimburse him for the money.
Instead, he wanted to tell him that he was already exhausted from coming back.
Jing Baisen held him like that, and after a long pause, said, "I have money. Whenever you miss me, I'll come find you, okay?"
Liu Nian immediately supported himself against his chest.
What...what did he just say?
Although he didn't quite understand, Liu Nian still said, "Okay, okay..."
Seeing Liu Nian so "happy" that he couldn't even speak, Jing Baisen finally felt a little satisfied. He hugged him again and said, "Now that you're satisfied, let's go to sleep."
Liu Nian lay on his chest and fell asleep with his eyes open.
As soon as it was light, Liu Nian went back. He was still adjusting to the time difference when Jing Baisen called him.
As soon as the call connected, Jing Baisen asked, "Did you miss me?"
Liu Nian: "...I've thought about it."
“Fine,” Jing Baisen said arrogantly, “I’ll come find you tonight.”
When Fang Xiao found out about this, he was shocked and muttered, "You two went back and forth like that...aren't you tired?"
