Chapter 348 Going to the Hospital for a Checkup

Jiang Ning was the one who invited Gu Lanlan to play together, but the two of them played zombie games for more than a dozen rounds in a row, and Jiang Ning lost every single time.

Gu Lanlan used to play zombie games with Jiang Ning a lot, but she never won.

"Ah Ning, let's take a break!"

"OK……"

Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan collapsed onto the sofa together. Gu Lanlan grabbed a can of beer, while Jiang Ning took a juice.

She wanted to drive and didn't want to get drunk.

Gu Lanlan turned to look at Jiang Ning, who was drinking juice, and asked softly:

"You seem troubled... Is it related to Lu Junyan?"

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

Jiang Ning choked on his drink.

Gu Lanlan immediately laughed from the side, "You really can't hide anything from me... But I'm pretty much the same in that respect!"

Jiang Ning cleared his throat with a wry smile; the feeling of choking on water was truly unpleasant.

"I'm telling you, Aning, you keep saying you don't love Lu Junyan anymore, but actually... you still have feelings for him, don't you?"

"..."

Jiang Ning remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't think I still have feelings for him, it's just..."

But Lu Junyan always seemed to be around her.

Especially after she learned that all of Lu Junyan's favoritism towards Chu Qingxue was because he had mistaken Chu Qingxue for A Chu.

Even when busy with work, Jiang Ning is still able to fully dedicate herself to it.

However, once Jiang Ning stops working, she can't help but let her mind wander.

“Do you know, Lanlan… Lu Junyan actually told me that if I marry another man, he will kill him.”

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile wryly as he said this.

"Wow...how morbid, I'm so envious."

"So envious?"

Jiang Ning looked at Gu Lanlan in surprise.

"Yes, I really envy you!"

"Are you envious that I have a pathological stalker?"

Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated.

"No... I'm just envious that you love Lu Junyan so madly!"

Gu Lanlan, who said this, genuinely showed an expression of envy on her face.

Jiang Ning realized that Gu Lanlan must have thought of Gu Jinci.

In this world, no one doesn't want to be loved.

Gu Lanlan must have thought that Gu Jinci loved her deeply back then.

Unexpectedly...

Jiang Ning sighed.

“Although Lu Junyan was quite a jerk to you before, didn’t you tell me that he mistook Chu Qingxue for you? That’s somewhat understandable…”

"Why are you now taking Lu Junyan's side?"

Jiang Ning looked puzzled.

Gu Lanlan scratched the back of her head and took a sip of beer.

"It's not that I'm speaking up for him... it's just that he loves you so much that he's willing to kill any man you're going to marry. If it were me, I would have fallen for him long ago."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle.

I used to think Gu Lanlan would always scold her for being love-obsessed, but now I realize that Gu Lanlan is the one who's really love-obsessed!

"Do you really believe he would kill someone for me?"

"Of course I believe you!"

Gu Lanlan spoke with absolute certainty.

"If it were Lu Junyan, he would definitely do it."

Gu Lanlan spoke casually, but her words stirred up ripples in Jiang Ning's heart.

She actually... also believed that Lu Junyan was capable of doing it.

That's why she became increasingly uneasy.

"I don't love Lu Junyan... I can't love anyone anymore..."

These are Jiang Ning's true feelings.

"Seriously, Aning? Are you going to stay single forever? Or are you planning to become a nun?"

Gu Lanlan deliberately made a joke about Jiang Ning.

"Don't be so pessimistic at such a young age."

She patted Jiang Ning's shoulder hard.

"It doesn't matter if you don't love Lu Junyan. You're the female CEO of the Lu Group now. What young heartthrob can't you handle? Anyway, you're not going to marry them, so you don't have to worry about Lu Junyan killing them."

Jiang Ning was amused by Gu Lanlan and giggled.

"After hearing you say that, I feel like such a jerk!"

"What do you mean 'scumbag'? One provides the money, the other provides the manpower. It's a fair trade."

Jiang Ning thought it was fortunate that Gu Lanlan wasn't a domineering female CEO, otherwise she would have broken the hearts of so many young men!

After finishing their beer and juice, the two of them ordered fried chicken and enjoyed their meal immensely.

"By the way, Aning, you've never told me why you can't forgive Lu Junyan no matter what? Is it someone else besides Chu Qingxue?"

Gu Lanlan asked while munching on a chicken leg.

Although she had always thought Lu Junyan was a jerk, if it was just a case of mistaken identity, she actually thought Lu Junyan was alright.

At least he didn't cheat on her; he gave all his affections to his beloved.

Given Jiang Ning's personality, she wasn't the type to hold a grudge forever. She originally thought that Jiang Ning would forgive Lu Junyan soon!

After all, she had done something irreparable wrong to Jiang Ning, hurting him deeply.

Jiang Ning still forgave her.

The sound of eating fried chicken could be heard coming from the living room; the fried chicken was crispy, and the sound of eating it was very distinct.

After Jiang Ning finished eating two fried chicken wings, he spoke calmly and answered Gu Lanlan's question.

"I once...had a child..."

Gu Lanlan knew without asking that it was Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan's child.

"Back then, Lu Junyan... for Chu Qingxue's sake, knowing I was pregnant, treated me very roughly, causing me to miscarry..."

"Grass!"

Jiang Ning knew Gu Lanlan would definitely swear.

"That's truly unforgivable. Regardless of whether he knew you were his first love and his ideal woman, you were his wife back then! How could he treat you like that? He's such a scumbag!"

In just a few minutes, Gu Lanlan's perception of Lu Junyan was refreshed once again.

"Um……"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Even if Lu Junyan never changed his mind, he always loved A Chu.

However, Lu Junyan could not forgive Jiang Ning for what he had done.

"So it seems you should accept Bai Yichen! At least Bai Yichen isn't as violent as Lu Junyan."

Before Jiang Ning could speak, Gu Lanlan hurriedly said, "No, if you marry Bai Yichen, Bai Yichen will be killed by Lu Junyan. What should we do then?"

Seeing that Gu Lanlan was genuinely troubled, Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle.

"Bai Yichen is not right for me..."

"Why?"

"At the very least, his family would never accept that I can't get pregnant and have children!"

There was a three-second silence in the living room, then Gu Lanlan suddenly exclaimed.

"What did you say?!"

Seeing Gu Lanlan's horrified expression, Jiang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Isn't your reaction a bit too exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all... Ah Ning, how come you've never told me about something this big?"

Gu Lanlan gripped Jiang Ning's shoulders tightly with her two oily hands.

"It's not a good thing anyway..."

Jiang Ning twitched the corner of his mouth.

Whether it was her miscarriage during her pregnancy or her inability to conceive, it was a wound in her heart that would never heal.

"That's true..."

Gu Lanlan pouted, then asked in surprise:

"Was it Lu Junyan who caused this?"

Jiang Ning nodded helplessly and briefly recounted what had happened to Gu Lanlan.

Gu Lanlan opened her mouth to curse Lu Junyan's entire family, but then she realized something.

"This doesn't make sense! Aning, did you go to the hospital for a checkup afterward?"
