Nian Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Back then, when she had barged into the villa ahead of time, she had been quite afraid of being criticized by her superiors.
“But…” Cheng Feng paused, and his gaze gradually became serious, “You can’t say that passing is enough to make you an excellent Interpol officer. This time, I’ve agreed to let you go because of the special circumstance. After all, you’re Jiang Yuning’s girlfriend. If you want to officially join us, you’ll have to go through many layers of selection. If you’re willing, I can give you a registration form… but you have to think carefully. After you become an Interpol officer, you’ll be handling cases abroad and will often travel abroad… you’ll spend less time with your family…”
Nian Xi thought for a while and shook her head. “I think I should go back to Xia City. I think that as long as I’m a policeman, no matter where you are, you’re contributing to the people.”
Cheng Feng was not surprised and nodded. “You’ve done well in Xia City in the past two years. Work hard. You’re still so young and have a bright future.”
Nian Xi smiled and thanked him.
When Nian Xi came down from upstairs, Jiang Yuning drove the car over and looked at her with bright eyes. “You’ve been praised?”
“What’s there to praise? You’re the biggest contributor to this mission, Okay?” Nian Xi put on her seatbelt and told him the truth, “Yuning, I’ve decided to return to Xia City and become a police officer. Although Interpol is very high-class, they’re often not at home. I realize that I want to spend more time with you and my family now.”
Jiang Yuning nodded vigorously and heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, he did not want her to become an Interpol officer and did not want him to be too far away from him. “Xixi, I’ll accompany you back to Xia City Tomorrow.”
Nian Xi could not help but say, “Didn’t I ask you to spend more time with your parents this morning?”
Jiang Yuning frowned silently. It was not that he did not care about his parents. It was just that even in the past, he and his parents would only see each other a few times a year. Everyone was used to this method.
Nian Xi was serious, “Yuning, I know that your family is actually engaged in scientific research. Your whole focus is on research and you neglect your family. But you can’t say that your parents don’t care about you. I can see that you and your parents don’t have much in common apart from doing research. But at their age, all they care about is companionship. You can accompany your father to hoe the plants and accompany your mother to chat. I believe they will be very happy.”
“Also, you left without saying a word for three years, making them worried. Even if it’s to go undercover, you’re letting them down. In short, it’s not right for parents to worry about their children.”
Jiang Yuning was stunned by her words. After a while, he scratched the back of his head. “Xixi, haven’t you ever made your parents worry?”
Nian Xi felt guilty. “Because I’m a police officer, my parents are always scared, so I’ve let them down. Especially in the past three years, I’ve been spending too little time with them.”
Jiang Yuning looked at her silently. He had never thought of such a thing before. His elders might have said it before, but he had never been interested in listening to others talk. In fact, Nian Xi was not just like his girlfriend, she was also like an elder at times, “Xixi, you’re like my grandmother…”
Nian XI: “…”
How was she like his grandmother? Could they still have a good chat.
“Okay, you can shut up now.” Nian Xi raised her hand. “It’s still early. I’ll accompany you to the mall and buy some gifts for your parents.”
“Okay, buy some for your parents too.” Jiang Yuning smiled and showed rows of white teeth. “Didn’t you say just now that you’ve let your parents down? Your parents are my parents. It’s the same. You have to buy two sets of things.”
