Chapter 237 Rekindled Romance

When Xiao Zhang arrived with a spare suit, he only saw Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan stood shirtless, alone in the night.

He looks a little lonely.

Xiao Zhang was surprised.

"Mr. Lu, where is Miss Jiang?"

As he handed the spare suit to Lu Junyan, he asked a question.

"They were taken away by Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan."

Lu Junyan spoke calmly.

However, Xiao Zhang couldn't calm down.

Jiang Ning was clearly rescued by their CEO Lu after going through so much trouble, so why should Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan benefit from it?

Moreover, he couldn't imagine that Lu Junyan would be willing to give up the credit.

Lu Junyan quickly changed into his spare suit and returned to his car.

"Mr. Lu, where are we going now?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Xiao Zhang glanced sideways at Lu Junyan in the back seat.

Lu Junyan's face was pale and his eyes were dark, clearly indicating that he had neither slept well nor caught a cold.

If possible, Xiao Zhang would like to take Lu Junyan home to rest.

"Ask Bai Yichen, which hospital is Jiang Ning in?"

Lu Junyan gave instructions, and Xiao Zhang opened his mouth but didn't say anything more, simply following them.

The imperial blue Bentley drove onto the road that the white Lexus had taken.

Jiang Ning didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, the first thing she saw was Gu Lanlan's face.

Gu Lanlan's eyes were swollen; it was clear she had been crying a lot.

"Ah Ning! Ah Ning, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

Gu Lanlan rushed to Jiang Ning's hospital bed.

She was truly terrified when she heard that Jiang Ning had gone missing.

She and Bai Yichen searched for so long, but they didn't find a single clue, which made her so anxious that she kept crying.

In the end, it was Bai Yichen who said that the most likely location was still the construction site, so they rushed over, just in time to find that Lu Junyan had rescued Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was freezing cold. Even through the blanket, Gu Lanlan was terrified by Jiang Ning's abnormally cold body.

After being taken to the hospital, the emergency room doctor said that Jiang Ning was severely dehydrated and hypothermic, and had suffered great physical and mental trauma.

Fortunately, he was taken to the hospital in time; any later and he might not have survived.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lanlan couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

"Ah Ning, is there any pain or discomfort anywhere? I'll go find a doctor for you."

While Gu Lanlan was asking Jiang Ning, Bai Yichen had already brought the doctor. The doctor performed a preliminary examination on Jiang Ning and found that Jiang Ning's health was basically fine.

In the ward, there were not only Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan, but also Pete, Yuan Pei and Mo Yan.

Jiang Ning heard that when she went missing, they all put in a lot of effort to search for her.

Jiang Ning thanked them one by one.

Pete, Yuan Pei, and Mo Yan originally wanted to stay in Jiang Ning's ward a little longer, but Yuan Pei was too noisy, and Gu Lanlan thought that their presence would disturb Jiang Ning's rest, so she sent them all away.

Mo Yan was stopped by Jiang Ning before he left.

"This is the thank-you gift I promised you before."

Jiang Ning took out a ring box from her handbag.

Mo Yan opened the box and saw that it contained a pair of matching rings for a man and a woman.

The design of the wedding rings is simple and elegant, yet ingenious, giving them a unique and sophisticated feel.

"You're injured like this, and you're still thinking about work?"

Mo Yan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, took out the men's ring from the wedding ring set, and put it on the ring finger of his right hand.

But he didn't take the women's ring.

Jiang Ning stared blankly at Mo Yan, only to see Mo Yan smile gently.

"Please keep the other one for me. I'll pay you for the storage fee."

After saying that, he told Jiang Ning to take good care of himself and then turned and left the ward.

The ward is finally not as crowded as before.

Gu Lanlan went out to make a phone call, leaving Bai Yichen and Jiang Ning staring at each other.

"Thank you, Bai Yichen..."

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Ning's pale face.

However, Bai Yichen couldn't laugh.

That usually gentle and refined face now showed a hint of resentment beneath its serious expression.

"The person who saved you was Lu Junyan."

"Yes, I know."

Jiang Ning's words surprised Bai Yichen.

"But you and Lanlan worked hard all night, so I should thank you."

Bai Yichen looked at Jiang Ning and felt a sense of relief.

He didn't actually want Jiang Ning to misunderstand that he was the one who saved her.

He didn't want to steal Lu Junyan's credit.

It was as if he had taken a huge advantage of Lu Junyan.

At the same time, he was afraid that Jiang Ning would rekindle his old feelings for Lu Junyan.

The dilemma left Bai Yichen feeling helpless and unsure of what to do.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Ning knew that it was Lu Junyan who saved her.

Jiang Ning was not in a sound state of mind at the time.

But she was familiar with Lu Junyan's body temperature, Lu Junyan's embrace, and Lu Junyan's scent.

After all, they were husband and wife who had shared a bed for three years.

Moreover, Jiang Ning once loved Lu Junyan so deeply.

"Bai Yichen, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while..."

"Okay, sure."

Bai Yichen tucked the blanket around Jiang Ning.

He realized that Jiang Ning wanted him to leave, but couldn't say it outright.

After Bai Yichen left, the ward became empty and silent.

Jiang Ning wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, tossing and turning, her mind in turmoil.

Why……

It's Lu Junyan again?

Back when she was in solitary confinement at the juvenile detention center, if someone hadn't insisted on throwing her a piece of candy through the ventilation vent every day, she probably would have become so depressed that she committed suicide by banging her head against the wall.

Those little candies, one a day, were like a lifeline for Jiang Ning.

It was her only connection to the outside world.

It proves that she is still alive.

This proves that there are still people outside who care about whether she lives or dies.

Those little candies that kept her conscious and self-aware until the end of her confinement period—

It was given to her by Lu Junyan.

It could be said that Lu Junyan saved her from confinement in the juvenile detention center.

This time, it was Lu Junyan who rescued her from being imprisoned.

Even though Jiang Ning was not in his right mind at the time, he knew that the person who broke into the abandoned power distribution room was Lu Junyan.

The person who would rather take off all his clothes to keep her warm was Lu Junyan.

Jiang Ning squeezed her eyes shut, trying to calm her turbulent emotions.

Lu Junyan doesn't love her...

She had long since stopped loving Lu Junyan...

After leaving the hospital, Bai Yichen went to the police station, while Mo Yan contacted his friends in the underworld, wanting to "take care" of Boss Zhao. However, his friends told him that Boss Zhao had been taken away by Lu Junyan's men.

"They really acted quickly!"

Mo Yan muttered to himself, stretching out his finger to look at the ring Jiang Ning had custom-made for him.

In the dark room.

Boss Zhao was tied to a small stool, his face bruised and swollen, and he was on the verge of death.

"Lu Junyan, you fucking can't resort to vigilante justice... I... I'm innocent... I'm calling the police..."

In front of Boss Zhao was Lu Junyan, sitting in a leather swivel chair.

A naturally smiling mouth with a cold smile; the brighter the smile, the more chilling it becomes.

"Are you innocent?"

Lu Junyan crossed his arms over his chest.

“Zhao Yuhai, your construction site didn’t have a scheduled work period yesterday because of the bad weather… If there was no scheduled work period, why did you tell Jiang Ning that you were going to the construction site to inspect it?”

As Lu Junyan spoke coldly, Zhao Yuhai's bloodied body trembled.
