Jiang Ning has always given people a cold feeling. She rarely gets angry, and even if something really offends her, she won't show it. When recording the variety show, both the staff and the live audience felt that Jiang Ning had a very good temper. This was the first time they had seen Jiang Ning get angry.
"Well said." Lu Yan praised Jiang Ning while secretly placing her hand on Zhuang Yan's leg, slowly groping upwards until she found his trouser pocket and slipped it inside.
At first, Zhuang Yan didn't pay attention, thinking that Lu Yan was trying to warm her hands because they were cold, but gradually her hand started to get restless.
Zhuang Yan's expression changed, and he pressed down on Lu Yan's hand.
The others, unaware of the commotion under the table, assumed Zhuang Yan was angry.
Lu Yan propped her chin on her hand and glanced coldly at Fang Chen: "Fang Chen, are you indirectly criticizing me?"
Fang Chen was taken aback and quickly said, "I didn't..." By this time, he had sobered up.
Lu Yan is a person who doesn't show her emotions, and it's impossible to know what she's thinking.
"You say Zhuang Yan shouldn't have reported Zhuang Zhongming and the others, but have you forgotten that I sent my own brother to prison? Besides, I was the one who caused the Lu and Xia families to go bankrupt. If Zhuang Yan's actions are selfish, then wouldn't I be heartless? Compared to what I've done, what is Zhuang Yan's?"
There are rumors online that Lu Yan is the reason why the Lu and Xia families went bankrupt so quickly.
When the truth was revealed by the person involved, everyone on and off the show was stunned.
Fang Chen, who created this controversy, was already drenched in cold sweat.
Lu Yan's tone was flat, but it gave people a sense of pressure.
"If you envy Zhuang Yan's past life, I can help you out by arranging for you to have a pair of abusive parents. Do you want that?"
Her expression and tone were quite sincere, as if she could arrange it for Fang Chen immediately if he nodded. Not to mention one pair, she could find dozens of pairs for him to experience different lives.
Fang Chen instantly sobered up. Could Lu Yan be a kind person who could bankrupt his family and send his brother to prison?
You absolutely must not mess with someone like Lu Yan. If you do something to her, she will definitely retaliate many times over and will not show any mercy.
Fang Chen: "I don't want it."
Do you still think Zhuang Yan is cold-blooded, ruthless, and ungrateful?
"No...no..."
Lu Yan pressed on: "Then do you think what we did was right?"
"That's right."
"Where exactly?" You like to torture people, don't you? Well, I'll torture you properly too.
Fang Chen felt hot-headed but cold-backed. He was restless and wished he could crawl under the table.
Where exactly? He couldn't say, because subconsciously he looked down on Zhuang Yan and thought everything he did was wrong.
If we try to find out where Zhuang Yan is right now, wouldn't that be overturning everything he said and slapping him in the face? But if we don't say something, Lu Yan won't let him off easily.
"Zhuang Yan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have interfered in your affairs. I know I was wrong. I will be more careful with my words in the future. Please consider what I said today as something I said while drunk. Don't take it to heart." After struggling for a moment, Fang Chen still chose to admit his mistake and apologize, and he sounded quite sincere.
An Xinrong also spoke up for Zhuang Yan: "Does being drunk give you the right to point fingers at others? You're an adult, yet you still can't distinguish right from wrong. If my dad broke the law, I'd send him to jail too."
She is truly a filial daughter.
It's quite surprising that An Xinrong would say something like that.
"It's getting late, everyone should wash up and go to bed. I'll put the dishes away." In the end, Zhuang Yan stepped forward to smooth things over, afraid that if he didn't, Zhuang Yan would react in a different way.
Zhuang Yan held Lu Yan's wrist, with the table covering it, and pulled her hand out of his pocket.
Lu Yan looked up at him; she had drunk some wine, and her eyes were moist.
Fang Chen wanted to make amends, so he took the initiative to do the work, taking the bowl in front of Zhuang Yan away: "I'll wash it, I haven't done anything today."
"Who said you didn't do anything? Weren't you just looking for trouble?" Lu Yan was unhappy that Zhuang Yan had taken her hand away, so she naturally focused her anger on Fang Chen.
Fang Chen lowered his head and quickly cleaned the table. After they left, Zhuang Yan asked Lu Yan, "Are you very cold?"
Lu Yan feigned weakness and said, "Yes, I'm so cold. Can you hug me and be my hand warmer?"
“There are cameras.” Zhuang Yan glanced at the cameras on the roof.
Lu Yan snorted twice: "You're afraid to hug me if there are cameras around?"
Zhuang Yan looked at Lu Yan's hair, which was ruffled by the wind, and saw her shiver slightly. He felt both helpless and soft-hearted. He pulled her into his arms and tried to transfer his warmth to her.
It's just recording from the camera; even if it gets recorded, it can be cut out later.
But then again, even if the live camera is right in front of him, he will hug Lu Yan whenever she needs a hug.
Zhuang Yan had his back to the door, and Lu Yan leaned against him. She looked at the approaching photographer, and with just one glance, the photographer backed away.
Zhuang Yan asked, "Is it ready?"
Lu Yan reluctantly let go of his waist, tilted her head up in his arms and asked, "Ayan, leave the door open for me tonight."
Participating in a lousy TV show means she and Zhuang Yan have to sleep in separate rooms for seven nights?
Zhuang Yan decided to have a proper talk with Lu Yan about the rules.
“I’m afraid I won’t sleep well. Can you bear to see me suffer from insomnia? And you know I’m afraid of the cold. No matter how thick the blanket is, my feet will still be cold. It’s colder in the countryside than in the city. I’m afraid I’ll get frostbite. If you’re worried about being discovered, then I’ll do it secretly. You get up early in the morning and wake me up beforehand. I definitely won’t stay in bed. I’ll listen to you and won’t tease you anymore…”
Zhuang Yan always felt that Lu Yan couldn't do that; she had dared to put her hand on his leg and make suggestive moves while they were eating.
Do you think she'd be more restrained in front of a crowd? No, she'd just find it more exciting.
Lu Yan only liked teasing him like this. Ever since the two of them confirmed their relationship, she has found that Zhuang Yan's patience has been getting better and better.
Before, I could just blow a little breath into his ear and see his ears turn red, but that doesn't work anymore...
She liked Zhuang Yan's shy and restrained demeanor because it was something that others couldn't see, something only she could see, something that belonged exclusively to her.
Knowing that Lu Yan is afraid of the cold, Zhuang Yan would prepare a foot bath tub for her at home, but here she would have to use firewood to boil the hot water herself.
Zhuang Yan went into the kitchen and skillfully boiled water. Jiang Ning had just finished washing up and came back. Seeing the kitchen light on, she came over and saw Zhuang Yan tending the fire. She asked, "What are you cooking?"
"I'm boiling water."
"Would you like to wash up? There's still hot water in the kettle..."
"I didn't see much. Lu Yan hasn't washed up yet. She has a cold constitution and needs to soak her feet."
It turns out it was prepared for Lu Yan.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but wonder, if Lu Yan hadn't existed, would she and Zhuang Yan have had a chance to reconcile?
"It seems you really like Lu Yan."
"Yes, I like her very much."
