Chapter 375 Making Up with Him

Jiang Ning fell silent.

When she decided to fake her death, she didn't actually think she could hide it from Lu Junyan forever.

However, it was truly unexpected that Lu Junyan caught her red-handed only two years later.

Initially, Lu Yexiong wanted to fake her death in a car accident and promised to give her 100 million yuan.

Jiang Ning agreed, but the price was raised to one billion.

Regardless of what Lu Yexiong thought of her, he ultimately accepted her offer.

Jiang Ning's agreement to fake his death was not essentially for Lu Yexiong's sake.

She was pregnant and definitely needed a place away from conflict to rest and prepare for childbirth.

If she doesn't die, the Joker will come to kill her once Lu Junyan wakes up.

By then, she would probably not be faking her death, but truly dead.

Whether for her own sake or for the baby in her womb, faking death is a good option.

W Island was a location that Jiang Ning had chosen himself before the fake death plan was implemented.

This place is very far from Country A, and it's not exactly a bustling place, but it's a good place where people can be self-sufficient.

It is very suitable for pregnant women in Jiangning.

Jiang Ning first hired someone through a security company to pick up their adoptive mother from the rehabilitation center and settle her on W Island, before making preparations for the fake car accident.

It was at this time that a flight bound for country D crashed.

Jiang Ning had a sudden inspiration and asked Lu Yexiong to use his resources and abilities to fake her death as one of the victims of the plane crash. In this way, the fake death procedure would be much simpler than the car accident procedure.

Lu Yexiong did as instructed, and Jiang Ning became a dead man.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning secretly came to W Island and changed his name to Kelly.

There are three orphanages on W Island. She initially funded them in her personal capacity, but later established a charitable foundation.

My encounter with Shen Feiyang was purely coincidental.

Shen Feiyang has always had a chaotic personal life, and he eventually went too far and offended a powerful figure.

The other party harbored hatred towards Shen Feiyang out of love, so Shen Feiyang fled to W Island in order to protect himself.

But to my utter surprise, I encountered the already deceased Jiang Ning here.

At first, Shen Feiyang thought he had mistaken someone for someone else, or that they were two very similar people.

But later he realized that the other person's gaze was not that of a stranger, and that Jiang Ning had faked his death.

Jiang Ning then went along with it and hired Shen Feiyang as the legal counsel for her charity foundation on W Island.

Her foundation doesn't employ many staff members; Shen Feiyang is more like a part-time assistant while also handling legal affairs.

Especially as Xiaoman grows up day by day.

When Shen Feiyang met Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning had already given birth to Xiaoman.

Jiang Ning didn't intend to hide it, after all, Xiao Man was right beside her, and it wasn't something she could hide from her just by trying.

At first, Shen Feiyang was very surprised, thinking that Jiang Ning had remarried.

But gradually, he realized that there were no other men around Jiang Ning.

Moreover, judging from the timeline, Jiang Ning should have been pregnant before she faked her death.

Shen Feiyang didn't ask any more questions, but his intuition told him that Jiang Ning's child should be Lu Junyan's.

In the back seat of the car, Jiang Ning held Xiaoman and said casually while comforting her:

"Of course I'm going to stay here. Not only am I going to stay, I'm also going to start a family!"

"Get married? With whom?"

"I'll go with you!"

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, Shen Feiyang slammed on the brakes, almost throwing Jiang Ning off.

"What are you doing? Luckily, I'm holding Xiaoman tightly."

Jiang Ning started to complain, somewhat dissatisfied.

"I'm so sorry, but you too, can you please stop saying things that scare me?"

"I'm serious."

Jiang Ning looked at Shen Feiyang's face reflected in the rearview mirror and said seriously, "I'll give you three times your salary. For the time being, you'll pretend to be Xiaoman's father."

"I won't do it."

Shen Feiyang refused very decisively.

"Then I'll fire you and make you lose your job."

Jiang Ning's threat was very effective against Shen Feiyang.

"Boss, please spare me!"

"It's just asking you to pretend to be Xiaoman's father, it's not like I'm going to kill you."

"Is this any different from taking my life?"

Shen Feiyang was both amused and exasperated.

He thought that even if he didn't seek great success after coming to W Island, he could at least live a peaceful life. He never expected Jiang Ning to suddenly drop a bombshell on him.

The traffic light changed, and Shen Feiyang's car slowly started moving again.

"I said, boss..."

While driving, Shen Feiyang secretly glanced at Xiaoman in Jiang Ning's arms.

Xiao Man, who just turned one year old, doesn't look much like Jiang Ning in terms of her eyebrows and eyes, but she does vaguely resemble Lu Junyan.

"Is Xiaoman's biological father... Lu Junyan?"

Shen Feiyang had been holding back from asking this question until now.

But I just can't hold back anymore.

Jiang Ning neither said yes nor no.

Shen Feiyang took Jiang Ning's silence as tacit agreement.

"I don't understand why you won't reconcile with Lu Junyan after you've already had his child."

Shen Feiyang knew that he had overstepped his bounds in this matter.

He and Jiang Ning weren't exactly close friends.

I don't know much about the emotional entanglement between Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan.

However, he had worked alongside Jiang Ning on this island for over a year, making him one of the people Jiang Ning knew best here.

Shen Feiyang might not be able to see other things, but Lu Junyan definitely still loves Jiang Ning deeply; anyone with eyes can see that.

But whether Jiang Ning still has feelings for Lu Junyan, he really can't say.

"Because I don't love him, why should I get back together with him?"

Judging from Jiang Ning's tone, he didn't seem to be lying.

"Then why did you give birth to Xiaoman?"

Faced with Shen Feiyang's questioning, Jiang Ning smiled and poked Xiaoman's round, chubby cheeks.

"Because Xiaoman is my child..."

Jiang Ning couldn't say whether she kept Xiaoman because she had lost a child before.

Or perhaps it's because she no longer wants to love anyone, so keeping Xiaoman around is a way of keeping her company.

Shen Feiyang could tell from the way Jiang Ning teased Xiaoman that he really loved Xiaoman.

But perhaps there really is no love left for Xiaoman's biological father, Lu Junyan!

"So stop gossiping about my privacy. You're offering triple pay to pretend to be Xiaoman's dad. Are you going to do it or not?"

A brief silence fell over the car. After a while, Jiang Ning finally received Shen Feiyang's reply:

"I'll reluctantly accept it for the sake of the money!"

Hearing Shen Feiyang say that, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you have to buy me insurance first, in case I die a violent death..."

"Is Lu Junyan really that terrifying?!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh at Shen Feiyang's reaction.

As night deepened, the villa area nestled in the mountains was ablaze with lights.

Jiang Ning lives here.

As soon as Shen Feiyang parked his car at the entrance of the residential area, the headlights illuminated a figure.

Jiang Ning carried Xiaoman out of the car, and gave Shen Feiyang a wink as she got out.

Originally, Shen Feiyang only needed to take Jiang Ning and her son home, but now he also has to get out of the car with them.

Against the backdrop of countless lights, Lu Junyan walked towards Jiang Ning, carrying large and small bags in his hands.
