Chapter 823: Twelve O’Clock, It’s My Birthday

“We can’t do anything about that. She did not break the law, only said some words. Those kinds of people are the worst. But she is probably going to lose her son forever, so she won’t be very happy in this lifetime.”

“Stop overthinking. Let’s just peacefully wait for Yi Jingxi to give himself up and hope there won’t be another curveball.”

“It’s no use, even if he changes his mind. I voice recorded our entire conversation today,” Luosang said.

Nian Junting was slightly surprised. He was impressed and gave her cheeks a pinch. “Not bad. You’ve grown smarter.”

Luosang glared at him unhappily. All right. She admitted that she had been stupid on some occasions. But everything was about to be over.

“Tell me. My birthday is the day after tomorrow. Have you prepared my present?” Nian Junting wound his arms around her shoulder.

“...”

Instantly, Luosang’s expression turned awkward. “The previous time I went to the mall to prepare something, I bumped into Jiang Qifei there and she got me so upset it affected the baby. Didn’t the doctor say I cannot leave the house...”

“You mean that you don’t intend to give me a birthday present?” Nian Junting’s eyes narrowed. “Luo, this is the first birthday we are spending together, and it’s my thirtieth birthday. You must give me a present.”

Luosang rubbed her belly. “Doesn’t this count as a present?”

Nian Junting lightly retorted saying, “You’ve been pregnant for three months now and I’ve known about it for ages, and you still bring it up?”

Luosang lowered her head dejectedly.

“You have to give me a present, but it doesn’t have to be big,” Nian Junting reiterated. “You can also send someone else to buy it. I don’t have any requirement. I’ll like anything that you give me. Also, you cannot give me things you already have before, such as scarves, snow boots, etc.”

“...”

“You can’t give me clothes either, I have a lot.”

“...”

Who was it that said he had no requirement?

...

Just before he was about to fall asleep, Nian Junting received a call. Luosang was also drifting off to sleep when she heard him talking solemnly on the phone. “I’ll go ask her... she’s being ridiculous.”

“Who provoked you?” Luosang woke up and asked nonchalantly.

“Nian Xi.” Nian Junting’s expression was dark. “She applied for a transfer to the police detective task force without telling me. My mum just called me about it.”

Luosang was stunned.

No matter how little she knew about police, she understood the difference between civil police and police detectives. In essence, civil police maintained public safety and order. They were sent to wherever they were called to. On the other hand, police detectives had to conduct investigative work on crimes, and even solve big cases like drugs, terrorism, and the mafia. It was relatively more dangerous.

“I previously told her to change her career to a prosecutor or lawyer, but she wouldn’t listen. Now, she is even going to the police detective team. She really doesn’t let me have a moment of peace.”

Nian Junting was upset. “Actually, she has been performing well recently. However, I’ve instructed the people at the station not to let the higher-ups transfer her towards criminal justice. She also promised me that she will quietly stay at the police station handling small cases. Now, she’s going back on her word. What angers me most is that my father actually agreed this time. He must be crazy. He only has one daughter. What if an accident happens?”

Luosang was silent for a while before saying, “Could it be because Feng Ji Chuan entered the police force, and if she enters the police detective team, she will have more opportunities to meet Ji Chuan in the future?”

At her words, Nian Junting’s face became clouded and he grew silent.

...

The next morning, Nian Junting drove to the police station without even eating breakfast.

Nian Xi had only just put on her uniform and sat down when her office door was kicked open. Nian Junting marched in, his expression tight. “Why didn’t you tell me about you applying to the police detective team? If you find your current job too mundane, your chief has already told me that you will be promoted at the end of this year. When you make this kind of decision, have you considered mum’s feelings? She was so anxious; she was going crazy last night.”

“Mum looked for me last night. I’ve made up my mind.” Nian Xi calmly put on her police beret. “I’m not bored of these mundane tasks; I just really want to be a police detective...”

“Don’t talk to me about this nonsense,” Nian Junting said coldly.

“Is it because Ji Chuan entered the police force and is in charge of the police detectives, that you want to transfer over?”

Nian Junting was stunned. “No. I’ve had this thought for a while; I’ve even explained it to dad.”

“Dad probably agreed because he wants you to have more opportunities to come into contact with Ji Chuan,” Nian Junting said, “Ji Chuan still holds you closely in his heart. Give him any sort of hint, and you guys have a chance of reconciling any time...”

“I’ve already said that I want to go over to the police detective team a long time ago, but all of you won’t listen to me. Now that I’ve polished my skills in the police station for many years, I now have some experience and capital. I believe that I can take on this job.”

Nian Xi stood up. “I admit that I initially did this job because of Ji Chuan, but I’ve grown to like being a cop. I’ll protect myself properly, not for myself, but for my family. I have to go on patrol now. After this month, I’ll be going to the police detective team. You should stop bothering me.”

“Nian Xi...”

Nian Junting grabbed her arm.

Nian Xi suddenly blinked at him and said, “What? Didn’t you always just see me as a blade of grass? You won’t suddenly tell me that you love me very much, would you?”

“... I’m sorry. I can’t say those kinds of mushy and disgusting words while looking at your face,” Nian Junting said.

“...”

What’s wrong with my face? Nian Xi was incredibly frustrated.

“Remember to come for my birthday tomorrow,” Nian Junting said.

“Mm.”

“Ji Chuan will be coming too.” Nian Junting added.

Nian Xi turned away. “What present do you want?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not a present from Luo anyways. I’m not very concerned about anything else.”

Nian Xi didn’t want to see him for even a moment longer. However, the thought of seeing Ji Chuan the next day made her feel troubled.

After she left, Nian Junting helplessly sank into deep thought. Since he couldn’t persuade her, he could only contact the people of her team to let her do some analysis and research in the office.

It was a silent night.

Since becoming pregnant, for the sake of the baby’s health, Luosang had maintained a regular sleep schedule. Tonight, she was in a deep sleep when she was suddenly woken up.

She groggily opened her eyes. Nian Junting’s handsome face was right in front of her. “Luo... Luo...”

“Mm... what’s wrong?”

“The clock just turned twelve. It’s my birthday,” Nian Junting said, reminding her grudgingly.

“Mm, happy birthday.”

Luosang was incredibly sleepy. She turned around and closed her eyes again.
