Chapter 643 - I’ll Know That She’s Really Close to Me
“So you turned your back on her and went with Qiao Xue?” Nian Junting asked.
“I didn’t. I just felt that that girl is quite innocent and adorable. I guess I… am a little fond of her,” Lu Kang stuttered.
“You grow fond of people too easily.” Nian Junting gave a cold smile, then walked into his office.
Hearing what Nian Juntng said, Lu Kang’s face burned. Normal guys would all do the same. To him, Yan Su was like a flower growing on a high mountain that he could not pick, but a man had to be with someone and get married. Who was like his boss? His love was outstanding and shocking.
Hearing that Nian Junting was back, Xiao Si came upstairs with a file in five minutes. These days, Nian Junting hadn’t come to work, so he was responsible for all sorts of things in the company. He really regretted coming back now. If he had known things would be like this, he’d rather have stayed in the Northwest.
Nian Junting uncapped the pen, sighed his name, then threw the contract back to Xiao Si and stood up.
“Are you going back to Luosang’s?” Xiao Si hurriedly stopped him and said seriously, “It’s raining out there. You shouldn’t mistreat yourself like this, even if you want to play the battered-body trick. You’re an adult. If you want to numb yourself, stay in the company and distract yourself with work.”
Hearing his words, Nian Junting glanced at him and said, “It’s not about me distracting myself with work. It’s actually because you want to stay here and work overtime. Am I right?” He had been close friends with Xiao Si for many years, so he knew him well enough. Xiao Si never liked working and was all about having fun.
Xiao Si winced slightly, saying, “Am I such a man? I’m worried about you.” Of course, most importantly, he couldn’t handle the high-intensity work.
Nian Junting stayed silent for a moment, then responded, “I’m not going there to play the battered-body trick. It’s because when I go back to the villa, I’ll see traces of her everywhere. That makes me very uncomfortable. It’s better for me to stay at her place downstairs. Even though I can’t see her, at least I’ll know that she’s really close to me.”
Listening to him, Xiao Si had a sour feeling. He had never loved someone so deeply, so he didn’t understand. “How about the two of us ask for leave? Let’s go abroad and take a vacation. When you’re far away from her, you’ll realize that it’s not a big deal.” Xiao Si comforted him.
Nian Junting shook his head without hesitation. Looking at Xiao Si with dislike, he said, “I went on vacation with Luosang not long ago. Traveling with you would only constantly remind me of the days with her. I’d be even more frustrated.”
Xiao Si didn’t know what to say. He really should not worry about Nian Junting.

Nian Family House
It was the weekend. On his phone, Nian Qingyun watched the news about Nian Junting on the hot-search list, then said angrily, “This kid brought shame on our family. He’s not a teenager anymore. He actually went to her school to read her a love poem in public.”
Nian Qingshan laughed. “It seems that Junting really cares about her. Big Brother, I never thought that you’d have such a single-hearted son, hah.”
“What do you mean?” Nian Qingyun glanced at him coldly. He had been in a really bad mood recently. It sounded like his brother was making fun of him for being unfaithful in love.
“Eh… nothing. I have an appointment with a friend. We’ll play basketball. I’m leaving now,” Nian Qingshan said and hurriedly left.
Five minutes after he left, Xie came in and said, “Director, about the case you told me to look into earlier, I found something.”
Nian Qingyun was puzzled at first but soon realized what he was talking about.
“Three days after Xue handed me those files, the apartment of Zeng Lijuan’s boyfriend was swept by a thief. Her boyfriend was also robbed in the middle of the night on his way home. The robber took the recording,” said Xie.
Nian Qingyun immediately frowned. If Nian Junting took the recording, he would certainly have made some progress in the case.
