Chapter 189 Matchmaking between him and Lin Wanrong
Jiang Ning was quite surprised to see Lu Junyan in Country C.
However, considering that today is Valentine's Day, it's not surprising that Lu Junyan appeared at the world-renowned Cloud Top Restaurant in Country C.
After all, Lu Junyan loves Chu Qingxue so much, it's perfectly reasonable for him to take her on a cross-border Valentine's Day celebration.
However, Jiang Ning did not see Chu Qingxue.
Lu Junyan was the only one sitting in the two-person couple's booth.
Throughout the restaurant, his solitary yet commanding figure stood out starkly from his surroundings.
Bai Yichen noticed Jiang Ning's gaze and looked in that direction, where he also saw Lu Junyan.
Not only did he not stop Jiang Ning from looking at Lu Junyan, but he also took the initiative to walk over with Jiang Ning to Lu Junyan's dining table.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Lu, are you also here for Valentine's Day?"
When Lu Junyan saw Bai Yichen, his already cold face seemed to turn as if a cold wind had swept over him.
In contrast, Bai Yichen wore a smile, his smile as gentle and refined as ever.
Are we that close?
Lu Junyan did not answer Bai Yichen's question, but instead posed a counter-question.
Bai Yichen remained calm and composed, saying, "Since you are Aning's ex-husband, and we've happened to run into each other, I felt I should come over and say hello. If I've spoiled Mr. Lu's mood, then I apologize..."
Bai Yichen's words were impeccable, and Lu Junyan remained silent, his gaze fixed on Jiang Ning.
In his memory, he rarely saw Jiang Ning wearing such a bright and vibrant red.
For three years after they got married, Jiang Ning wore only pink clothes.
Because at that time he didn't know what color Jiang Ning liked.
I didn't ask.
But now he knows that Jiang Ning doesn't like pink.
Jiang Ning seems to prefer cool colors over warm colors.
Jiang Ning felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lu Junyan's deep and sharp eyes.
She tugged at Bai Yichen's sleeve.
"let's go!"
"good."
Jiang Ning had just turned around when Lu Junyan's magnetic voice came from behind her.
"You look beautiful in red too..."
Jiang Ning subconsciously turned his head.
Lu Junyan's expression remained unchanged in her eyes, but it was clear that his praise came from the bottom of his heart.
"Mr. Lu should save those words for his female companion."
Bai Yichen turned his head and retorted to Lu Junyan before leaving Lu Junyan's table with Jiang Ning.
Lu Junyan watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, then called the waiter to order.
He originally didn't want to eat here.
Because he had no female companion.
The arrangement to meet and dine at this restaurant on Valentine's Day was all arranged by his father, Lu Yexiong.
The person he's meeting tonight is the biggest source of capital behind the C country's government—
Lin Wanrong is the newly adopted daughter of the Lin family.
Lin Wanrong didn't show up, standing him up.
This was the first time Lu Junyan had been stood up.
He thought this was probably the woman retaliating for his impolite behavior last time.
Previously, Lu Junyan received a call from Lu Yexiong, who asked him to meet with Lin Wanrong, the daughter of the Lin family, to discuss a transnational cooperative project for a new energy railway.
Country C and Country A are not far apart, so it's natural for the two countries to have business cooperation.
However, Lu Junyan refused.
He knew very well that Lu Yexiong's true intentions were not what they seemed.
The business talk was just a side thing; the real purpose was to bring him and Lin Wanrong together.
Lu Junyan didn't mean it that way, but Lu Yexiong secretly arranged to meet Lin Wanrong in his name without his knowledge.
He didn't go, leaving Lin Wanrong standing him up.
This time, Lin Wanrong retaliated in kind.
This restaurant, perched atop the clouds, is usually frequented by couples, especially today, which is Valentine's Day.
Since the woman stood him up, Lu Junyan originally planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, I made a pleasant surprise before leaving.
The food was served quickly, and Lu Junyan ate quietly by himself.
The appearance of Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen gave him a reason to stay and dine here.
Bai Yichen and Jiang Ning sat in a window seat, overlooking the entire night view of Country C.
The night view is absolutely stunning, offering a panoramic view of Jiangning.
However, Jiang Ning couldn't fully concentrate on appreciating the night view.
Country C is somewhat special to her.
Her cousin, Wen Munian, works and lives here.
Her right-hand man—Zhong Cheng, the Lin family's driver, assistant, bodyguard, and hacker—is also here.
The Lin family moved from country A to country C, leaving her all alone.
But this is inevitable.
Because she no longer has the surname Lin.
Jiang Ning sighed, looked away, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Junyan out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Ning was greatly surprised when he saw Lu Junyan elegantly eating Western food alone.
Where is Chu Qingxue?
Before she saw Chu Qingxue, she thought Chu Qingxue had gone to the restroom to touch up her makeup.
But Lu Junyan couldn't possibly start eating before Chu Qingxue.
Could it be that Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue had a fight on such a holiday?
Jiang Ning recalled that whether she and Lu Junyan were dating in college or after they got married, she never dared to argue with Lu Junyan.
From this perspective, Chu Qingxue is better than her.
Jiang Ning chuckled self-deprecatingly and focused on enjoying the food.
After she looked away, Lu Junyan subtly raised his eyelids and looked at the seat by the window.
Jiang Ning was having a meal, chatting and laughing with Bai Yichen.
The food Lu Junyan was chewing gradually lost its flavor.
Meanwhile, in country A.
City A.
Chu Qingxue had not yet left her studio.
Throughout the entire day, she held her phone tightly, checking her calls, WeChat messages, and text messages every time a news item or advertisement popped up, for fear of missing anything.
She was waiting for news from Lu Junyan.
Today is Valentine's Day.
Lu Junyan will definitely ask her out.
She firmly believed it.
Country C.
The night sky was deep and the night view was enchanting.
Above the clouds.
While eating, Bai Yichen casually glanced at the time on his phone.
"It's about to begin..."
"What?" Jiang Ning was taken aback, and looked up at Bai Yichen, asking, "What? It's about to start?"
"Meteor Shower".
Before Bai Yichen could finish speaking, Jiang Ning excitedly pressed his face against the glass, looking up at the sky like a child.
"Where? Where? A meteor shower..."
call out--
Bang!
A firework bursts forth in the night sky, displaying a dazzling array of colors.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Bai Yichen, and saw that Bai Yichen gave her a sly smile.
There was no meteor shower in the night sky, but there was a grand drone light and fireworks show.
Finally, the drone's dazzling lights spelled out a line of words in the night sky:
Happy Holidays, Jiangning!
Among the guests who spent Valentine's Day atop the clouds, there were many voices expressing envy for Jiangning.
The colored light illuminated Lu Junyan's face as he stopped eating.
It appears green under the light.
Jiang Ning was both surprised and delighted, and her eyes welled up with tears. She never expected that Bai Yichen would arrange this.
"This is truly the most romantic holiday I've ever had in my life."
Jiang Ning said to Bai Yichen excitedly.
She was very grateful to Bai Yichen for everything he had done for her.
In particular, the words spelled out by the drones did not include the phrase "I love you".
Jiang Ning knew that Bai Yichen didn't want to put too much pressure on her.
Jiang Ning got up to touch up her makeup in the bathroom because her eye makeup was smudged by tears. Just then, Lu Junyan walked over.
Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan, pretended not to see him, and walked straight past him.
Suddenly, Lu Junyan grabbed her arm.
"I also set off fireworks for you..."
