Chapter 386 You’ve Grown Thinner and Wearier

She was wearing a new ginger turtleneck sweater paired with white pants. Her hair was coiled in a simple bun, and her skin was as fair as before. However, he noticed a rim of shadow beneath her eyes. She must not have slept well the past couple of nights.

The two of them stood opposite each other, and Nian Junting looked deeply into her eyes. His heart was pumping fast. "Luoluo, why does it feel like ten years when in fact, it has only been ten days without you? You've grown thinner and wearier," he said in a low voice.

Luosang immediately felt tears well up in her eyes. Damn, this guy's sweet talk is on another level, she thought.

"I'm ok, you are the one that looks like you've been through a lot…" Before she could finish, he pulled her into his arms and pressed her cheeks against his chest. She breathed in his scent and felt comforted by his familiarity. Suddenly, she noticed a hint of a strange smell. She raised her head only to have him bury her face back into his chest.

"Don't move, let me enjoy this more."

"No, how many days… has it been since you last showered?" Luosang asked.

Nian Junting froze as if he suddenly remembered something and let go of her promptly. He replied awkwardly, "You know, it's not convenient to shower over there. I only showered once when I arrived there. I've had to be on the road ever since, especially since I was rushing back. I drove for two days straight, and I haven't showered for… about… five to six days."

Luosang didn't mind that he hadn't showered for a week or so, but the place he went was too dusty and dirty. "You drove for two days straight? Are you mad? Don't you remember what I told you?" Luosang looked up to see blood in his eyes. Her heart ached. "You didn't have to rush back. I told you to be safe."

"It's alright, I just needed coffee to replenish my energy on the road. I wanted to see you as soon as possible." Nian Junting's eyes were filled with guilt. "I didn't protect you well."

Luosang shook her head. "It was bound to happen. It just happened sooner than I expected, that's all. This time…"

"Luosang, this must be Mr. Nian Junting. Why is he standing at the door?" Feng Ge said.

Luosang freed herself from his embrace, embarrassed. She turned to introduce the two. "Junting, this is my new godma, and godma, this is my boyfriend."

"Oh, Mr. Nian looks handsome and capable, no wonder…" Feng Ge couldn't help but compliment him.

After getting along with Luosang over the last couple of days, Feng Ge found that she was a good girl, both pretty and smart. It was a pity that she was already attached. Otherwise, she would have been a good match for her son.

Nian Junting frowned. How had this girl ended up with a godma in a matter of a few days? Obviously, he had to show his gratitude despite being skeptical. She did take care of his woman while he was away, after all.

He stepped forward and said, "Hello, godma, thank you for taking care of Luosang. This is just a token of my appreciation."

"Hey… you don't have to call me that." Feng Ge received the basket. Nian Junting left a good impression on her, but he was a little thick for addressing her that way since he wasn't even married to Luosang yet.

"No, I should, since marrying Luosang is only a matter of time," Nian Junting said.

"Alright, I'll go get my luggage since you're here already. I'll leave with you. Let's not forget about the company matters," Luosang said hastily.

"…Alright," Nian Junting thought about what she said and nodded. He had to rush back to deal with company matters, so he reluctantly said goodbye and decided that he would come back to visit another day.
