Chapter 15 Serving Him
Jiang Ning never expected that she would stay in the hospital for five days.
The police came during this period, took statements and conducted investigations. Since the juvenile detention center only held minors and Jiang Ning had not suffered any substantial harm, Zhang Hai and the others were only detained for an extended period.
Lu Junyan did not appear during these five days.
This was within Jiang Ning's expectations, considering that Lu Junyan hadn't visited her when she miscarried.
Not only did he not come, he also accompanied Chu Qingxue on a sea fishing vacation.
Jiang Ning blew on the warm water in the cup, took a sip, and found it incredibly bitter.
As usual, Xiao Zhang brought her Lu Junyan's gifts as a token of his sympathy.
A bunch of pink roses.
She received it when she was hospitalized after her miscarriage, and she couldn't bear to throw it away then.
"Lanlan, do me a favor."
"Go ahead," Gu Lanlan said, walking over.
"Help me throw this bouquet in the trash can." Jiang Ning handed the flowers to Gu Lanlan without any hesitation.
"That's exactly what I was waiting for!" Without saying another word, Gu Lanlan grabbed the large bouquet of flowers and headed out of the ward.
Jiang Ning was allergic to pollen, of course she knew, but she also knew that Jiang Ning was madly in love with Lu Junyan, and would gladly accept anything Lu Junyan gave her.
The ward, now free of pollen, is filled with fresh air again.
Unfortunately, my peaceful hospital stay was disrupted.
Lu Junyan has arrived—
He brought Chu Qingxue with him.
As Chu Qingxue walked down the corridor, she turned her head and saw a bouquet of pink roses stuck in a trash can.
The packaging and the flowers clearly indicate that Lu Junyan sent them.
Chu Qingxue stopped in her tracks, looking regretful. "Such beautiful flowers, it's such a waste to just throw them away!"
It wasn't until he heard Chu Qingxue's words that Lu Junyan noticed the flowers that had been thrown away.
When he sent Chuqing Snowflakes, he personally selected both the variety and the packaging.
He gave all the gifts he sent to Jiangning to Xiao Zhang.
However, Xiao Zhang had been with him for a long time and knew his preferences and tastes, so Lu Junyan immediately recognized the bouquet of flowers in the trash can as the one he had Xiao Zhang deliver to Jiang Ning.
Lu Junyan didn't say anything, but his deep eyes seemed to be filled with ink, becoming even blacker.
He walked ahead of Chu Qingxue, and as soon as he entered the ward, he saw Ning Junzhe sitting by Jiang Ning's bedside peeling an apple.
Ning Junzhe was very skillful; he cut the apple into the shape of a little rabbit. When he saw Lu Junyan come in, he immediately used a fruit fork to pick up a piece and feed it to Jiang Ning.
Actually, before Lu Junyan arrived, Jiang Ning ate apples by herself and didn't need Ning Junzhe to feed her.
Jiang Ning opened his mouth and took a bite of the apple; the apple was sweet and sour.
"Your injury is on your hand?" Lu Junyan asked coldly.
Jiang Ning shook his head. "No."
"Then why don't you eat it yourself?"
Lu Junyan's questioning caused the temperature in the entire ward to drop several degrees.
Ning Junzhe wanted to confront Lu Junyan, but saw Jiang Ning wave his hand.
“I want to be waited on now, just like you.” Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan, her eyes showing no sign of weakness.
Lu Junyan remained silent for a moment, then curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
Jiang Ning had to admit that Lu Junyan was indeed very handsome, especially his half-smiling lips, which had a natural charm.
Are you reminding me not to forget your hard work and dedication all these years?
Jiang Ning didn't mean it that way, but she was too lazy to correct Lu Junyan's misunderstanding of her.
At this moment, Chu Qingxue chimed in, "Junyan works hard to earn money to support the family. As his wife, isn't it only right that you serve him without complaint?"
Jiang Ning looked at Chu Qingxue and grinned, "You understand him so well, yet he won't even give you a chance to serve him. You're really pathetic."
Chu Qingxue's face immediately turned a deep purplish-red, and Ning Junzhe next to her was amused.
"Mr. Ning, my wife and I have something to discuss. Could you please leave for a moment?"
Ning Junzhe was unwilling to be driven away by Lu Junyan, but as an outsider, he had no choice but to leave first.
Jiang Ning noticed that although Lu Junyan kept telling outsiders to leave, he didn't ask Chu Qingxue to leave.
Only Jiang Ning, Lu Junyan, and Chu Qingxue remained in the ward.
"I've helped you quit your job at the juvenile detention center."
Lu Junyan spoke with such conviction that Jiang Ning's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What right do you have?!"
"Because I am your legal husband."
Lu Junyan's words left Jiang Ning speechless.
"You've only been working for a few days and you're already causing a ruckus at the police station and hospital. You're not suited for being in the public eye. You're better suited to being a housewife. I won't mistreat you..."
"Lu Junyan, I've already asked you for a divorce," Jiang Ning interrupted Lu Junyan through gritted teeth.
“But I didn’t agree,” Lu Junyan replied decisively.
Standing to the side, Chu Qingxue pinched several wrinkles into her pink dress.
The conversation ended unhappily once again, and Jiang Ning felt as if he had thrown a punch with all his might, only to hit a cotton ball.
Before leaving, Lu Junyan told her that if she didn't like pink roses, she could tell him in advance and he would have Xiao Zhang send her other flowers next time.
As Chu Qingxue walked out of the hospital ward, she saw Lu Junyan take out a cigarette and light it.
Smoking is not allowed in the ward, so Lu Junyan has been refraining from it until now.
Chu Qingxue knew that Lu Junyan wasn't a heavy smoker; he only felt the urge to smoke when he was upset or upset.
Several times she wanted to ask Lu Junyan why he didn't agree to divorce Jiang Ning.
But the words stuck in her throat.
She believes that Lu Junyan still likes her even now.
However, Lu Junyan is a very vengeful and rational person.
Chu Qingxue couldn't help but regret that if she hadn't gone abroad in a fit of anger and hadn't posted those provocative messages on social media, Lu Junyan might never have married Jiang Ning, and he wouldn't be so unwilling to divorce her now.
The doctor originally suggested that Jiang Ning stay a few more days, but Jiang Ning was in a hurry to be discharged. When she went to settle the bill, she found that someone had already paid her hospital fees.
In front of the Jin Family Detective Agency, Jiang Ning checked the address and name; he shouldn't have made a mistake.
Gu Lanlan has a job, and Jiang Ning felt embarrassed to ask her to take time off to accompany her. Ning Junzhe also resigned after hearing that she had resigned from her job at the juvenile detention center.
So the person who accompanied her today was Ning Junzhe.
Online reviews say this detective agency is very good at catching people cheating, and of course, they charge a high price.
Jiang Ning opted for the most expensive package, costing 100,000 yuan. Ning Junzhe originally intended to pay for it for Jiang Ning, knowing that she had been a housewife since marriage and had no job. He figured it was better to spend Lu Junyan's money than Lu Junyan's.
But Jiang Ning checked his phone himself, and judging from Jiang Ning's expression, he didn't seem to be spending the Lu family's money.
Ning Junzhe was a little curious, but he didn't ask. Since Jiang Ning hadn't brought it up, he shouldn't have asked.
After the two left the detective agency, Jiang Ning felt a little relieved.
"Come on, what would you like to eat? I'll treat you to dinner."
Hearing Ning Junzhe say that, Jiang Ning shook her head, "You deliberately came to keep me company, so of course I should be the one to pay for it."
"No, no, I was supposed to treat you to that Japanese meal earlier, but I realized later that I have to make it up to you."
Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated, feeling that Ning Junzhe's reaction time was far too long.
The two were looking for a restaurant on the street when Jiang Ning's phone suddenly rang.
