How could he speak of his own brother-in-law this way? Besides, their personalities resembled one another.

“Don’t worry, be brave and chase after her,” Nian Junting said. “Yan Su would never like anyone like him. He is too childish. Women these days like men who are mature, like us. Take me for example, Luosang couldn’t wait to tie me down at such a young age.”

“So, you think I’m tying you down?” a woman’s voice was heard from the door.

Nian Junting froze. When he saw her, he quickly said, “I haven’t finished my sentence. It’s a happy problem to have.”

“Didn’t you say that I couldn’t wait to tie you down?” Luosang asked.

“I am the one who couldn’t wait to tie you down,” Nian Junting said as he held her hand. “If I hadn’t met you, I would have probably died alone. That’s why I think it is difficult for Lu Kang to find a girlfriend. He’s getting quite old after all.”

This conversation wasn’t helping Lu Kang at all.

“Alright, don’t drag Lu Kang down along with you,” Luosang said as she rolled her eyes.

“Luo, why are you here?” Nian Junting asked with a smile. “We haven’t even been apart for more than an hour. Do you miss me already?”

Luosang blushed and handed over a stack of documents. “You forgot to bring these. I’ve been cooped up at home thanks to you these days. I have nothing better to do. I just wanted to take a walk and get some fresh air, so I delivered these to you myself.”

Nian Junting frowned, but he still pulled her into his lap. After she sat down, he said, “Luo, you’re lucky you’re sitting on my lap. An ordinary man wouldn’t be able to handle the weight.”

Luosang was annoyed. She angrily stood up and pushed him away. “Of course I’m heavy given how pregnant I am. For whom did I gain the weight?”

Nian Junting was still holding her hands. He innocently looked at her tummy and said, “Little brat, did you hear that? Your mother is gaining weight because of you.”

Lu Kang slapped his palm into his face. His boss was about to shoot his own foot again.

Just as he predicted, Luosang flung his hand away and said, “Don’t put this on your son. I can’t be bothered to talk to you. Don’t talk to me anymore. You don’t have to worry about this sweet dilemma of yours any longer.”

She angrily walked off.

Nian Junting was about to go to a meeting, so he didn’t run after her.

Lu Kang couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Nian, I think it’s your fault Miss Xu is pregnant.”

“Hmm, I was just joking.” Nian Junting seemed frustrated. “I didn’t expect Luosang not to appreciate my humor.”

Lu Kang shuddered as he thought, He was telling a joke? It’s creepy and weird that he would do that. Doesn’t he know that he had an extremely cold disposition in the past?

He was suddenly sympathetic toward Luosang.

The managers from the investing department had all arrived except for Xiao Si. The meeting was delayed since not everyone was present, so everyone was playing with their phones.

“Hey look, Jiang Yuning was detained in Paris and denied bail,” Manager Zhong said. “The tables have turned. Yilang Oda has publicly apologized, and he’s free to go home now.”

Nian Junting looked up at Manager Chen and smiled. “Our government must have pressured them. So many of our scientists would be disheartened to know that an outstanding physicist was left in the lurch.”

“It’s too bad we couldn’t persecute Yilang Oda,” Manager Zhong angrily said. “We should sue him in return.”

“They must have reached an agreement of some sort,” Nian Junting said. “Let me look into that.”
