Chapter 422 The two of them can be friends

Jiang Ning never expected that even when Lu Junyan was so ill, he still wouldn't forget to make his own plans.

With his weak face so close to hers, and a cunning smile on his face, Jiang Ning couldn't tell for a moment whether Lu Junyan's words were true or not.

Regardless, Lu Junyan comforted her last night and even draped his coat over her shoulders; otherwise, she wouldn't have caught such a severe cold.

Both morally and logically, she should take care of Lu Junyan.

Moreover, there were only the two of them in the house.

"You lie down and rest, I'll go make you some food."

Jiang Ning got up to leave, when Lu Junyan's voice came from behind him:

Can I order food?

Jiang Ning turned his head, his expression as if asking: Do you want to order more food?

Lu Junyan coughed twice and said seriously, "I want to eat steamed pork ribs with rice flour, braised pork knuckle with rock sugar, garlic-flavored prawns, braised beef tripe with scallions, donkey meat sandwiches, and crucian carp soup."

Jiang Ning: "..."

If she hadn't taken Lu Junyan's temperature, she would have thought he was faking illness!

"Fine, you just wait!"

Seeing Jiang Ning leave the bedroom and walk into the kitchen, Lu Junyan rubbed his empty stomach and licked his lips.

As a result, Jiang Ning returned not long after, carrying a plate with a bowl of millet porridge and two small dishes on it.

Lu Junyan opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.

Jiang Ning smiled.

"You don't really think I'd cook the dishes you ordered, do you?"

Feeling that Jiang Ning was mocking him, Lu Junyan pouted, looking hurt.

"You're sick right now and taking medicine, so you can't eat greasy or hard-to-digest foods."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning sat down on the edge of the bed and picked up the millet porridge.

"Eating some plain porridge and side dishes will help you recover faster."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Junyan open his mouth wide.

"ah……"

Jiang Ning: ? ? ?

She originally intended to cool the millet porridge down a bit before handing it to Lu Junyan so he could eat it himself!

Lu Junyan leaned forward, his mouth wide open, even his tongue sticking out.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning felt compelled to feed Lu Junyan.

With no other option, Jiang Ning scooped up a mouthful of porridge, blew on it repeatedly, tested the temperature with the tip of her tongue, and finally fed it to Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan kept staring at Jiang Ning, his eyes fixed on her.

"Why are you looking at me like that... I'm drinking porridge."

Jiang Ning urged.

Lu Junyan put the porridge into his mouth.

The temperature was just right, and the millet was cooked until soft and tender, with a rich aroma.

It was just an ordinary bowl of millet porridge, but Lu Junyan felt that this bowl of porridge was more delicious than any delicacy he had ever eaten.

"The porridge is delicious...and the person is beautiful too..."

Jiang Ning felt a surge of panic as her face was reflected in Lu Junyan's deep eyes.

"Go drink your porridge!"

Jiang Ning scooped up several mouthfuls of porridge and fed them to Lu Junyan.

"Um... cough... Jiang Ning..."

Lu Junyan couldn't help but interrupt Jiang Ning's feeding.

"You've almost finished this bowl of porridge... where are the vegetables?"

It wasn't until Lu Junyan reminded her that Jiang Ning belatedly realized that she had been feeding Lu Junyan millet porridge until it was almost empty, but she hadn't given him a single bite of side dish!

Noticing that Jiang Ning was blushing from his gaze, Lu Junyan lowered his eyes and smiled.

"why are you laughing?"

Jiang Ning asked curiously.

"It's nothing..." Lu Junyan raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ning, "I just never thought I could have such a happy time."

Jiang Ning put down the porridge and picked up a side dish for Lu Junyan to eat.

"You never bothered to let me take care of you when you were sick before!"

Lu Junyan's lips drooped down, and the side dishes he ate tasted different.

He knew that when Jiang Ning said "before," she meant when they got married.

Seeing Lu Junyan's expression change, Jiang Ning smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought that up."

"You don't need to apologize, I'm the one who's in the wrong."

Lu Junyan hurriedly said.

Jiang Ning shrugged.

"It's all in the past."

Is it really over?

Jiang Ning's hand was suddenly grabbed by Lu Junyan, and her eyes widened.

Lu Junyan's palms were not as warm as before.

Jiang Ning forcibly pulled his hand away.

"I'll get you another bowl of porridge."

Watching Jiang Ning's departing figure, Lu Junyan felt an emptiness in his hands and in his heart.

Meanwhile, Lin Wanrong was already being held in a detention center in the capital city of Country C.

Detention centers and detention houses are not the same.

The detention center is for administrative violations, and the detainees are released after only a few days.

Detention centers are for criminal cases, and after the trial, the prisoners will be transferred to prisons to serve their sentences.

Lin Wanrong publicly confessed to murdering Lin Jingcheng, which undoubtedly constitutes a criminal case.

In a small cell, Lin Wanrong was held with other criminals.

The communal sleeping area occupied a large space, leaving extremely little room for prisoners to move around.

Lin Wanrong had never been to a place like this before.

Even just imagining it makes it hard to comprehend how harsh the environment here is.

The walls were mottled and gray, the air reeked of a foul stench, and the female prisoners' faces were like those of zombies...

Just the day before, Lin Wanrong was wearing a haute couture gown and adorned with gold and silver jewelry, standing on the stage receiving praise and envy from the crowd.

Her Lin Group is the most outstanding company in Country C.

Suddenly, Lin Wanrong froze.

The Lin Group received the Most Outstanding Company Award this year.

But... what does that have to do with her?

The award went to the Lin Group, not her.

At this very moment, the Lin Group—

It should have already been Jiangning's possession.

"Ha...haha, hahahaha, hahahahahahaha..."

The originally oppressive and gloomy cell was suddenly filled with Lin Wanrong's laughter.

Lin Wanrong's laughter was so wild and morbid that it terrified the other female prisoners in the same cell, who all thought she had gone mad.

"I never expected this... I really never expected this..."

As Lin Wanrong smiled, tears of pain streamed down her face.

Unexpectedly, Jiangning was the ultimate winner...

Lin Wanrong didn't understand.

Isn't Jiang Ning's life unfortunate?

Why is it that Jiang Ning doesn't have to put in any effort at all, yet a windfall falls from the sky and hits her?

More and more tears blurred Lin Wanrong's vision.

She was clearly the one who worked the hardest...

She was clearly the one who was willing to risk everything to change her fate.

However, fate still played a cruel joke on her.

When Lin Wanrong was very young, she lived in an old neighborhood in City S of Country A.

At that time, the neighbor who was about the same age as her and could play with her was Lin Chu—also known as Jiang Ning.

At first, because they were neighbors, Lin Wanrong always thought that Jiang Ning was the same as her.

Lin Wanrong's family of origin was unhappy. Her father was an alcoholic and gambler who often beat her mother when he came home, and sometimes he also beat her.

She always had scars on her body and face, and other children were not very willing to play with her.

Jiang Ning, like her, always carried scars.

Therefore, Lin Wanrong felt that Jiang Ning's family situation was probably not much different from hers, and the two of them could be friends.
