Chapter 106 The divorce agreement has been signed.

Jiang Ning got goosebumps all over when Lu Junyan kept calling her "Little Ning".

However, she couldn't show Jiang Xiaoya that she was going through a divorce with Lu Junyan.

She sat down next to Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan considerately served food to both her and her mother.

"Xiao Ning's cooking is still so good... But Jun Yan must get tired of eating your cooking all the time, right?"

As Jiang Xiaoya spoke, she patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Occasionally you should change up the menu and try some new dishes. Junyan works hard outside, and if you, as his wife, cannot prepare a sumptuous dinner when he comes home, then you are not up to standard."

"I understand, Mom. Don't worry about it."

Jiang Ning agreed verbally, but he was not happy inside.

Jiang Xiaoya is a very traditional and virtuous woman, and she also follows this approach in educating Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning initially agreed with this view.

In particular, she loved Lu Junyan.

Because she deeply loves Lu Junyan, she is willing to dedicate everything to him.

You don't have to graduate from university, and you don't have to have a degree.

Because she was unemployed and supported by Lu Junyan, she always felt that it was her duty to do Lu Junyan's laundry and cooking every day.

Just as her mother said, she had to serve Lu Junyan well in order to be a qualified wife.

For three years, she never complained.

However, Lu Junyan couldn't see her efforts and hard work, and neither could her family.

even……

Jiang Ning watched as Jiang Xiaoya kept putting food on Lu Junyan's plate.

She felt that her mother couldn't see it either.

"Don't worry, Mom, Xiaoning's cooking is delicious. I never get tired of it."

Lu Junyan's voice was as calm as ever, lacking his usual oppressive tone. At this moment, he truly looked like a dutiful son-in-law.

Their relationship was also that of a loving couple.

Jiang Ning had to admit that Lu Junyan's acting skills were better than she had expected.

However, it is precisely because of his good acting skills that people can never distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Just like when he was pursuing her, she didn't realize that he was actually trying to get revenge on other women.

The meal went very well; at least Jiang Xiaoya's smile never faded.

Although Jiang Ning knew it was all an illusion, what did it matter whether it was real or fake, since it could make Jiang Xiaoya so happy!

After lunch, Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan accompanied Jiang Xiaoya for a short walk, after which the caregiver accompanied Jiang Xiaoya back to her room for a nap.

In the courtyard, Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan strolled side by side, and from an outsider's perspective, there was no indication that the two were about to divorce.

Jiang Ning learned from Lu Junyan that Jiang Xiaoya had suddenly woken up in the morning.

It's not quite accurate to say I'm clear-headed; I'm just sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused.

There were times before when Jiang Xiaoya recognized Jiang Ning, but she would start talking nonsense again after a while.

This time, Jiang Xiaoya insisted on seeing Jiang Ning, but the caregiver had Lu Junyan's phone number on file, so she contacted Lu Junyan instead.

"She thought we had just gotten married not long ago..."

"I'm still a little confused."

Jiang Ning sighed.

"It's already good that it hasn't gotten worse."

"Um."

The conversation between Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan was briefly interrupted.

When it started again, Jiang Ning spoke first:

"Thank you for today... If something like this happens again, just have the caregiver contact me."

"You're welcome, it's no trouble at all."

Without Jiang Xiaoya around, Lu Junyan's attitude and aura returned to their usual indifference.

But what he said surprised Jiang Ning.

"It's not bad to come and see her occasionally."

"Why?"

Jiang Ning blurted it out.

She and he are about to get divorced. After the divorce, she will no longer be his wife, and her mother will naturally have nothing to do with him anymore.

Lu Junyan glanced at Jiang Ning indifferently.

"Just pretend I want to eat your cooking."

After Lu Junyan mentioned it, Jiang Ning realized that Lu Junyan hadn't tasted her cooking in a long time.

"I've been eating this for three years, so I'm already tired of it. Changing the flavors is good for my stomach."

Sensing the hidden meaning in Jiang Ning's words, Lu Junyan remained silent for a while before speaking:

"Taking stomach medicine on time is good for your stomach."

Jiang Ning shrugged.

She didn't care whether Lu Junyan understood what she said or not.

She originally wanted to go to the finance department to settle the accounts so that she could pay for her mother's hospital fees from now on, but Lu Junyan was always by her side, and she felt it was inconvenient, so she had to postpone the process.

The two stood at the entrance of the Cixiang Nursing Home, ready to go their separate ways.

"You're going to Grandpa's next, right?"

Lu Junyan saw Jiang Ning's eyes widen, as if asking him, "How did you know?" and couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Ning felt that Lu Junyan's smile seemed to say, "Your thoughts are easy to guess."

"Do you... want to come along?"

After asking the question, Jiang Ning realized that her words sounded like an invitation to Lu Junyan to join in.

Although she didn't mean it that way.

"No, thank you." Lu Junyan shook his head. "You go by yourself. I need to go back to the company first."

"good."

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't actually want Lu Junyan to go with her to visit Lu Lifeng, because her purpose in going was not only to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival with Lu Lifeng, but more importantly, she wanted to ask Lu Lifeng about the 10% share.

If Lu Junyan were nearby, it would be difficult to speak up.

Jiang Ning turned to look for her car, but suddenly, Lu Junyan grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Ning's body trembled.

Lu Junyan grabbed her left wrist and lifted it up, leaving her bewildered.

"I was thinking of saying this when we were inside... It's the first time I've seen you wearing a ring..."

At this point, Lu Junyan probably felt it wasn't precise enough, so he added, "Except for the wedding day."

Jiang Ning then realized that Lu Junyan had grabbed her wrist because he wanted to see the ring on her left middle finger.

This ring was much smaller and less noticeable than the engagement ring Lu Junyan had given her years ago. She hadn't expected Lu Junyan to notice it.

Jiang Ning remained silent.

She didn't know what to say to Lu Junyan.

I don't know what Lu Junyan wants to hear from her.

Lu Junyan held onto her left wrist tightly and remained silent for a long time.

"You bought it yourself?"

"A gift from a friend."

"Male or female?"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Jiang Ning used some force to shake off Lu Junyan's hand.

Lu Junyan frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed, raised the corners of his lips, and turned to leave.

Jiang Ning drove to the old house and bought a gift for Lu Lifeng.

Lu Lifeng had served in the military, so he was in good physical condition, well-maintained, and his legs were still in good shape.

On this rare Double Ninth Festival, Jiang Ning accompanied Lu Lifeng to the park to admire the chrysanthemums.

Fearing that Lu Lifeng's legs would ache from walking for so long, the two found a bench to sit down and rest.

"The autumn air is crisp and refreshing, the weather is so comfortable!" Lu Lifeng took a deep breath.

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded with a smile. “Grandpa’s legs are strong, and the weather is neither too hot nor too cold now. He should go out and move around more; it’s good for his health.”

"That's true, but without Xiaoning to accompany me, going to the park with other people isn't very interesting!"

Hearing Lu Lifeng say that, Jiang Ning didn't think too much about it and casually said, "Then I'll come here with Grandpa often in the future."

Lu Lifeng turned to look at Jiang Ning, his eyes filled with increasing regret, and let out a heavy sigh.

"Grandpa is very happy to hear you say that, but...you and Junyan...have already signed the divorce papers, right?"
