Chapter 70 Acknowledging that the two are husband and wife

"This is exactly the same car as my goddess's!" Yuan Pei exclaimed in surprise. "But my goddess's car is a modified race car, Jiang Ning's can't compare."

The white BMW 3 Series was far ahead of the competition, and the temporary license plate affixed to the windshield was illegible in the darkness.

Chu Qingxue noticed that Lu Junyan beside her was staring in the direction Jiang Ning's car had left, and the surprise in his eyes seemed to glow under the streetlights.

"Jiangning drives very well!" Chu Qingxue said, revealing what Lu Junyan was thinking.

"It's alright!"

Lu Junyan commented indifferently.

"Yeah, yeah, that's pretty average. My goddess is still the best," Yuan Pei chimed in from the side.

The three said a brief goodbye. Yuan Pei drove his own car, while Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue went with him.

The imperial blue Bentley sped along, driving in the opposite direction of the white BMW.

After buying the car, Jiang Ning became even busier.

For several days in a row, she was busy looking for a suitable office space for her studio.

Too remote a place won't do, and too central a place is too expensive for her.

Finally, Li Mingyu, as an investor, introduced her to a good place.

The Zhongqing Building is located near a high-tech industrial park. Although its location is not as close as a CBD, it is convenient for commuting to and from get off work because of its proximity to the industrial park, and the environment is also very beautiful.

Most importantly, Li Mingyu knew people and gave her certain preferential treatment.

Jiang Ning was very interested, but the only drawback was—

The Lu Group is located within the industrial park, and she doesn't want her studio to be too close to it.

Jiang Ning spent the morning looking at office buildings under Li Mingyu's guidance, but ultimately couldn't make up his mind.

For lunch, she chose a stylish Western restaurant outside the industrial park.

It was a bit pricey, but Li Mingyu had helped her so much, so it was only natural for her to treat him to something nice.

No sooner had Jiang Ning and Li Mingyu entered the Western restaurant than she saw Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan is a single person.

Jiang Ning initially thought Lu Junyan had arranged to have dinner with someone here, but Lu Junyan walked straight towards her instead.

"What a coincidence."

Standing by the dining table, Lu Junyan took the initiative to greet Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was in a bit of an awkward situation.

She didn't want Lu Junyan around when she was having dinner with investors.

"Wasn't Chu Qingxue with you?"

Subconsciously, she glanced behind Lu Junyan.

Lu Junyan, without changing his expression, retorted, "Are we conjoined twins?"

Jiang Ning was speechless.

In her memory, wherever Lu Junyan was, Chu Qingxue was sure to be there too.

Lu Junyan glanced at Li Mingyu indifferently and asked Jiang Ning, "If you don't mind, let's go together!"

"What if I mind?" Jiang Ning put on a stern face and looked at Lu Junyan with a warning look.

Whether or not Lu Junyan knew that she had started her own studio, she knew perfectly well that Lu Junyan did not support her working.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Lu Junyan deliberately wanted to sabotage her project.

"Then just bear with it." Lu Junyan naturally pulled out a chair and sat down next to Jiang Ning.

What used to be a dining table for two has now become a table for three.

It's a bit crowded.

Jiang Ning's face was grim as he secretly observed Li Mingyu, afraid of displeasing the investors.

However, Lu Junyan asked quite frankly, "Aren't you going to introduce me to them?"

"This is Li Mingyu, my angel investor."

Jiang Ning spoke the truth.

Lu Junyan smiled slightly and extended his hand to the other person, "Hello, I am Lu Junyan, Jiang Ning's husband."

Li Mingyu's eyes widened, but he managed his expression well and immediately shook hands with Lu Junyan.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I've long admired your name."

Li Mingyu knew Lu Junyan.

But Li Mingyu didn't know that Lu Junyan was Jiang Ning's husband.

so……

Does President Ning know about this?

Li Mingyu had some doubts.

If Ning Junzhe didn't know, then all his efforts in pursuing Jiang Ning would have been in vain.

If Ning Junzhe knew...

So he's pursuing a married woman?

Moreover, the other party is Lu Junyan's wife.

this……

That's pretty explosive!

Li Mingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Jiang Ning was quite surprised.

This is the first time in three years of marriage that Lu Junyan has publicly acknowledged their marital relationship in a non-essential setting.

Jiang Ning always felt that Lu Junyan was plotting something.

Outside the Western restaurant.

When Xiao Zhang saw Lu Junyan pull out a chair and sit next to Jiang Ning, he knew that Lu Junyan would not be able to attend the dinner party he had agreed to with President Sun.

Although President Sun's status is much lower than Lu Junyan's, Lu Junyan had originally agreed to have lunch with him at noon today.

When he accompanied Lu Junyan out of the company, Lu Junyan had not yet changed his mind.

But things changed when Lu Junyan saw a white BMW 3 Series parked in front of the Western restaurant.

Xiao Zhang watched as Lu Junyan stopped beside the car, and after a moment, went into the restaurant.

Seeing that Lu Junyan had no intention of leaving, Xiao Zhang immediately contacted General Manager Sun to cancel the lunch.

In the Western restaurant, Li Mingyu made an excuse to leave early.

He needs to consider whether or not to tell Ning Junzhe about this.

Moreover, he didn't want to eat lunch in such a tense atmosphere.

Jiang Ning escorted Li Mingyu to the restaurant entrance and arranged to eat there another day.

After Li Mingyu left, Jiang Ning lost her appetite.

She felt that Lu Junyan had ruined her chance to build a better relationship with the investor.

However, Lu Junyan called her back and said he had something to say to her.

Jiang Ning sat back down next to Lu Junyan, waiting for Lu Junyan to speak.

However, Lu Junyan called the waiter first to order, and ordered a Royal Black Truffle Fillet Steak Set Meal for himself and her.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask.

"Let's eat first," Lu Junyan said.

"I'm not hungry."

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, his stomach growled loudly, much to his dismay.

Lu Junyan didn't laugh at her, but his eyes, which were fixed on her, narrowed slightly, and there was an ambiguous and teasing look in his eyes.

Jiang Ning felt extremely uncomfortable under Lu Junyan's gaze.

When she was alone with Lu Junyan, even in broad daylight in a restaurant, she was as nervous as a stretched spring.

The steak arrived, and it smelled delicious.

Jiang Ning couldn't resist and started eating.

She hasn't been eating properly these past few days because she hasn't had enough time.

You've lost weight.

A light, airy voice brushed against Jiang Ning's eardrums. Jiang Ning looked up and saw Lu Junyan cutting a steak, his movements elegant and graceful, like a painting.

You must have misheard!

Jiang Ning lowered his eyes.

Lu Junyan couldn't possibly care about her.

And it was even more inappropriate for her heart to race just because of Lu Junyan's casual expression of concern.

Just as Jiang Ning was finishing the set meal, Lu Junyan finally got to talk about the important matter.

"You want to start your own company?"

"Um……"

"Don't open it."

Jiang Ning dropped the knife and fork into the plate with a clatter.
