Chapter 102 Jiang Ning is really a vixen
In a daze, Lu Junyan's memory was pulled back to his high school days by the scene in front of him.
"Junyan, what are you doing here?"
Chu Qingxue stopped her bicycle in front of Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan snapped out of his daze and asked, "Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you doing here?"
"I made plans with my classmates to visit our teacher today, it's the school anniversary!" Chu Qingxue said, revealing the reason she had prepared beforehand.
Today, she changed her usual sweet and dignified appearance, and looked as youthful and beautiful as a high school student.
She knew that Lu Junyan was looking at her intently.
"You came to visit your teacher... but didn't you invite me?"
"I was afraid you'd be too busy!" Chu Qingxue smiled apologetically.
"It's a good thing I was invited to give a speech, otherwise I wouldn't have seen this side of you!"
Hearing Lu Junyan say this, Chu Qingxue knew that her sleepless nights over the past few days had not been in vain.
Actually, it was she who suggested that the principal invite Lu Junyan as a guest at the school's anniversary celebration.
She wants to bump into Lu Junyan on the campus where she once dated him.
As Chu Qingxue had expected, the similar scene evoked Lu Junyan's memories.
Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue strolled along a tree-lined path covered with ginkgo leaves.
This was how the two used to date during their high school years.
"Junyan, would you still be willing to give me a ride on your bike?"
Meeting Chu Qingxue's expectant eyes, Lu Junyan nodded.
"good."
Wearing a suit made it inconvenient for him to ride a bicycle, but he did it anyway, with Chu Qingxue sitting on the back seat.
The handsome man and beautiful woman became the most unique sight on campus.
Many students stopped to admire it, including Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was here because another designer had asked her to help inspect the high school's stadium in preparation for a weekend open-air jewelry exhibition.
Unexpectedly, she saw Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue.
The two of them were like high school students deeply in love; the boy was riding a bicycle, and the girl had her arm around his waist—it was sweet and youthful.
Jiang Ning was not mistaken; Lu Junyan had a smile on his face.
It wasn't the kind of deep, enigmatic smile he usually wore.
This time, Lu Junyan smiled very relaxed.
For a fleeting moment, she felt that Lu Junyan had become younger.
Jiang Ning could tell that Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue were searching for the feeling of their first love at their alma mater. Jiang Ning suddenly turned around.
Chu Qingxue knew, of course, that Jiang Ning was here.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that she deliberately let Lu Junyan ride his bike to the stadium at this time so that Jiang Ning could see him.
"Junyan..."
Chu Qingxue pressed her face against Lu Junyan's strong back and closed her eyes in ecstasy.
"You'll get a divorce... won't you..."
The wind brushed past Chu Qingxue's ear.
This brought Lu Junyan's calm and composed voice:
"right."
Meanwhile, the white BMW 3 Series took a detour and passed by the juvenile detention center.
Jiang Ning stopped the car briefly by the roadside before continuing to drive forward.
That evening, she asked Lu Junyan about the divorce agreement again, but this time Lu Junyan did not reply.
A week later, she returned to the Lu Group.
In the conference room, Director Li and others involved in the cultural exchange gift project were all present, but Chu Qingxue's expression was the most unpleasant.
"Jiang Ning, the leadership has decided that we should stick with your design for the seal. Chu Qingxue's design of two dragons playing with a pearl won't work. Some of the visiting countries have cultural aspects that conflict with dragons. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, your design is the safest bet."
As Director Li spoke, he gestured for Chu Qingxue to step forward.
"From now on, everyone, including Chu Qingxue, will fully cooperate with you. Now that the raw materials have arrived, you should be able to finish within the stipulated time, right?"
"Yes, although time is a bit tight, I can finish it."
Jiang Ning readily agreed.
As Jiang Ning was leaving the conference room, he suddenly heard Lu Junyan behind him say, "I didn't expect that what we did wasn't a waste of time!"
She understood that Lu Junyan was referring to her traveling thousands of miles in the rain to retrieve the raw stone.
"That time, it was all thanks to your help."
After listening to Jiang Ning's words, Lu Junyan nodded slightly.
Beside her, Chu Qingxue was so angry that she peeled off her freshly done gel nail polish.
She had finally managed to arrange for Lu Junyan to rekindle the feeling of first love with her at their alma mater, and Jiang Ning witnessed it.
Knowing full well that she and Lu Junyan were each other's first love and a couple, she still flirted with Lu Junyan in public. Jiang Ning is such a vixen! Shameless!
Chu Qingxue cursed Jiang Ning in her heart.
No matter how much she criticized him, it didn't affect the fact that Jiang Ning's jade seal design shone brightly at the Shining Stars·New Silk Road International Cultural Exchange Conference, receiving unanimous praise, and Jiang Ning's studio was commended by the government as a result.
When Pete returned from his business trip and heard the good news, he invited Jiang Ning to dinner that very evening.
Jiang Ning went straight to the restaurant after work, wearing her work suit.
She was dumbfounded as soon as she entered the restaurant.
Unlike typical Western restaurants, this restaurant only has seats for two people, designed in a heart-shaped semi-enclosed style. Each seat is decorated with fresh red roses, and romantic candlelight floats on each table.
It's obvious that this is a Western restaurant for couples.
Looking around, all the female guests in the restaurant were wearing formal dresses, except for Jiang Ning, who was dressed in business attire.
Jiang Ning was in a bit of an awkward situation.
If Pete had told her earlier, she could have changed her clothes and come back.
However, if Pitt had told her beforehand that the restaurant they were going to eat at was a couples' restaurant, she might have refused.
Upon arriving at the designated spot, Jiang Ning saw Pete.
Pitt usually wears a suit and tie, and he was doing the same today.
However, Jiang Ning felt that Pete was a little different today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Perhaps it's because I wear a suit better?
Or perhaps she got a more suitable hairstyle?
When Pete saw Jiang Ning, his eyes lit up, and he stood up to take Jiang Ning's handbag.
"Sorry I'm late, and I haven't changed my clothes yet."
"It's okay, none of that matters. The most important thing is that you're here."
Jiang Ning sat down and ordered with Pete. The menu was full of couple's set meals, which made Jiang Ning feel a little uncomfortable.
Ultimately, she left the decision to Pete.
Pitt ordered the most expensive set meal, and one exquisite dish after another was served. Before Jiang Ning could even pick up his knife and fork, a phone call suddenly came in.
The caller ID showed it was Lu Junyan.
Seeing Jiang Ning's expression change, Pete slowly put down his knife and fork.
He knew the call must have come from Lu Junyan.
Pete never doubted Jiang Ning's determination to divorce Lu Junyan.
But he also knew very well that Lu Junyan would always occupy the most special place in Jiang Ning's heart.
For example, at this very moment, only Lu Junyan's phone call could make Jiang Ning show such a hesitant and preoccupied expression.
"……Hello?"
Jiang Ning answered the phone.
"Look to your left and back."
Lu Junyan's instructions came through the phone.
The voice wasn't cold, but the oppressive feeling remained undiminished.
Jiang Ning turned her head to look to her left rear and was taken aback when she saw Lu Junyan sitting alone in the heart-shaped booth.
"What's wrong?"
Pete followed Jiang Ning's gaze and saw Lu Junyan as well.
Lu Junyan held his phone in one hand and casually rested the other on his raised leg. When he met Pete's displeased gaze, he simply smiled faintly.
At this moment, Jiang Ning heard Lu Junyan issuing orders again over the phone:
"Come sit here with me now."
