On their way back, Nian Junting comforted her. “It’s alright, I’ll build you an amusement park in the future.
Luosang smiled and leaned against his chest tiredly.
They played the whole day, so she felt like her legs were nearly broken. She hadn’t been so happy for a long time.
During her college time in Xia City, she had only been to the amusement park once with her roommates at Tang Ning’s birthday. However, back at that time, she had her mind stuffed with how to regain a position in the voice-acting industry, with her father and Yi Jingxi preventing that…
Once again, she thought of Xu Zhengxuan.
Suddenly, she felt guilty.
These days, because of Nian Junting, she had barely thought about how rough Xu Zhengxuan’s life might be like in the prison.
She didn’t dare visit her father in the prison frequently, as she worried that Yi Jingxi might find her. During the summer vacation, she visited her father only once in a disguise.
“Junting… she abruptly raised her face.
“What? Nian Junting looked at Luosang who seemed to have spoken, but stopped on a second thought. “Are you still thinking about the fireworks?
“No, I’m thinking about my father, said Luosang in a complicated tone.
Nian Junting pressed his lips together, staying silent.
Luosang’s heart sank. But still, she sat up from his arms, made up her mind, and said, “Can I ask you a favor? This is more important than revenge on Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi.
“You want me to save your father. Nian Junting raised his brows. His tone and expression slowly turned serious.
“Can you let me explain? They hadn’t been together for long, but Luosang knew him well enough. As a rich and powerful man, he would never let his wealth and power become the reason for him to do whatever he wanted. He was upright, and he obeyed the laws. No matter how much he loved someone, he wouldn’t violate the law and his own principles for this person.
“My father went to prison because Yi Jingxi testified against him in court. Yi Jingxi claimed that one day, he saw a female student come out of my father’s office with her clothes half torn off. Luosang clenched her teeth and said, “If that testimony was from someone else, I might believe it, but it wasn’t. It came from Yi Jingxi, who hates our family. I have many doubts, so I want you to investigate it again.
Nian Junting slightly frowned. A while later, he said, “You might be right. If the case really has some problems, I’ll do whatever I can to clear your father’s name, but… If it’s real…
Luosang was more or less disappointed.
Nian Junting’s reaction was reasonable though. After all, he didn’t know Xu Zhengxuan, so he didn’t believe in him completely, and that was absolutely normal.
“For any case, one witness’s testimony can’t be the only evidence to substantiate the prison sentence, explained Nian Junting helplessly. “There must be the other witnesses and all sorts of evidence. But of course, all of that can be faked. Anyway, Luo, I don’t want to lie for you. I only believe in evidence. But I’ll dig into it for you.
“Thank you… Luosang forced a smile.
She had said thank you to him many times, but this time, Nian Junting detected that her ‘thank you’ was different from what she said before.
It sounded too polite.
He felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn’t know what to say.
The chauffeur drove to pick up Xiao Si.
Xiao Si got into the car and immediately sensed the weird atmosphere in the car.
He was smart enough not to make a joke as he usually would.
After dinner, they headed to the airport. In the restroom, he took the opportunity to ask Nian Junting about it as Luosang went to the bathroom.
“What’s going on with you two? Are you having a fight?
“Not really, Nian Junting told him the whole story with simple words.
