Chapter 369 - Even If Something Happens to Me, You Have to Be My Widow
Luo Sang was shocked. “Is it serious?” If Ji Chuan was in grave danger, what would Nian Xi do?
“They told me it was quite critical,” Nian Junting said as he quickly packed his suitcase.
Luo Sang began to help him pack as well. “What about Nian Xi? Does she know about this?”
“I’m not planning on telling her now. I don’t want her to worry. I’ll head over with Xiao Si first.”
Nian Junting turned and looked at her with a frown. “I said I was going to watch you at your school Christmas Gala. I don’t think I can make it anymore. I can’t be sure when I will return from this trip. I can’t put my mind at ease knowing that Yi Jingxi is still around to bother you. I’ll ask Lu Kang to stay behind and look out for you. Just give him a call if anything happens. You can call Nian Xi as well.”
“Alright, I’ll take care of myself. I think you should let Nian Xi know about what happened, though. It’s her fiancé, after all. If anything happens to Ji Chuan, she’ll never forgive you if she didn’t get to see him for the last time,” Luo Sang said gently.
“Ji Chuan will be fine. He is incredibly resilient.” However, Nian Junting looked pale with worry. It seemed almost as if he was convincing himself. “I won’t feel at ease if Nian Xi goes to that place. We’re going to the border between China and India, at the edge of Tibet. Conditions and weather are poor over there. It’s pretty chaotic, and it’s too unsafe for her to go.”
“What about you, then? It’s unsafe for you to go as well.” Luo Sang was shocked.
“What’s so unsafe about me going?” Nian Junting circled his arms around her. “I always went to those places back when I served in the army. I’ll be careful and take care of myself, don’t worry. There will be military soldiers there, too. Ji Chuan and I have been family friends since we were young. He is the only son of his family. His dad will be traveling there as well. He is already over fifty years old and might not be able to endure the harsh conditions. My grandpa insisted that I accompany Uncle there.”
“I know, but please be careful.” Luo Sang squeezed his hands tightly. It was the first time she had to handle something like this. “If anything happens to you, I will have to find another boyfriend.”
“Say that again.” Nian Junting glared at her and gripped onto her shoulders tightly. “Let me tell you, even if something happens to me, you have to be my widow. If you don’t, I’ll be sure to crawl out of the grave.”
“…” Luo Sang shuddered. This guy was sick. “Enough. Stop saying these inauspicious things. You will be fine.”
“Of course. There will be military reinforcements wherever I go over there. I promise I will come back in one piece.” Nian Junting released her and closed his suitcase. “I’ll get the chauffeur to drive you to school later. I’m going to head out now.”
“What about breakfast?”
“I don’t have an appetite. I’ll have some food on the plane. If Nian Xi asks you about where I went, just tell her that I went on a business trip.” Nian Junting was already climbing down the stairs with his luggage in hand.
Luo Sang saw him all the way to his car. When he got in, he turned to kiss her. “Wait for me at home, don’t do anything that you’ll be sorry for. You have to recite that you love me at least once a day. Bye!” He quickly sped off.
Luo Sang stood in the same spot until the car disappeared from her sight. Then, she went back into the house after shuddering in the cold weather.
“Sangsang, have some breakfast before you go to school. You don’t want be late,” Sister Lan said.
