Chapter 190 They Did Not Divorce
Jiang Ning was stunned.
Her long eyelashes arched upwards, and Lu Junyan's handsome face was reflected in her eyes.
This face looks very serious.
Jiang Ning couldn't understand why Lu Junyan was saying this to her so seriously.
She remembered the fireworks display that Lu Junyan set off.
Hot air balloons, cakes, fireworks displays—
It was indeed an extremely romantic birthday party.
Although Jiang Ning was confused at the time, he was still deeply moved.
However, the more moved, the more touched, and the more excited she became...
The more you get stabbed, the more painful it becomes, and the deeper the wound goes.
Jiang Ning remained silent for a long time before smiling slightly.
"Don't get me wrong, you didn't set off those fireworks for me."
It was for Chu Qingxue.
It was a gift and compensation given to Chu Qingxue as a way to help her snatch the raw stone she had ordered.
Jiang Ning tried to shake off Lu Junyan's hand, but Lu Junyan held her arm tightly and she couldn't shake it off; she only felt a lot of pain in her arm.
"What are you doing?!"
When Bai Yichen appeared, Lu Junyan let go of his hand.
He saw bright red scratches on Jiang Ning's fair arm and realized how hard he had scratched her.
The words of apology were on the tip of his tongue, but before he could say them, Bai Yichen's voice rang out first.
"How are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot? Let me blow on it for you."
Bai Yichen blew on Jiang Ning's arm a few times, and Jiang Ning felt a little better.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
After saying that, she glanced at Lu Junyan, turned around, and walked into the restroom.
Lu Junyan felt that Jiang Ning had been glaring at him just now.
“Mr. Lu, please don’t harass your ex-wife. It’s not a good look.”
The word "ex-wife" sounded extremely grating to Lu Junyan when Bai Yichen uttered it.
However, he wasn't angry; instead, he smiled.
Are you sure... it's your ex-wife?
Lu Junyan's calm question surprised Bai Yichen.
"What do you mean?"
A cold smile curled at his lips as Lu Junyan casually remarked, "What if Jiang Ning and I aren't actually divorced?" before turning away and returning to his seat.
The food on the plate had gone cold, but Lu Junyan picked up his knife and fork and continued eating. No one could tell whether he was enjoying it or finding it tasteless.
When Jiang Ning came out of the restroom, she found Bai Yichen still standing there.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Ning asked with a worried look, "Did Lu Junyan make things difficult for you?"
"No..." Bai Yichen shook his head, hesitating to speak.
It wasn't until he and Jiang Ning returned to their seats that he couldn't help but ask, "Ning, you and Lu Junyan... you've already divorced, haven't you?"
"yes!"
Although Jiang Ning didn't quite understand why Bai Yichen suddenly asked this question, and why he was so hesitant in asking it, she answered decisively.
"Okay, that's good..."
Bai Yichen didn't say much, and the two quickly started talking about other topics.
However, Lu Junyan's words, "What if Jiang Ning and I are not divorced?" were like a thorn stuck in his heart, and it seemed that he could not pull it out in a short time.
Lu Junyan, Jiang Ning, and Bai Yichen started eating at almost the same time, but since Lu Junyan was eating alone, he ate faster than the two of them.
After paying the bill, he stood up and glanced indifferently at the window.
Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen were still eating, chatting and laughing.
He looked away and took two gift boxes out of his trouser pocket.
They put one of them back in.
The gift box that was stuffed back was given to him by Lu Yexiong; he didn't even know what was inside.
He will return the gift to his father, because it was a gift his father bought for Lin Wanrong.
Lu Junyan opened the gift box in his hand.
The contents inside didn't quite match Lu Junyan's status—
It's a pair of keychains.
The rabbits are made of plastic beads, with a male and a female rabbit tightly embracing each other.
Lu Junyan himself couldn't understand why he would buy such a thing.
Before heading to Country C, he happened to pass by a school where someone was selling this item at the school gate. It was very cheap, only a dozen yuan a pair, and students were buying it in droves.
Lu Junyan didn't know what possessed him at the time, but he actually bought a pair and even had them packaged at a shop.
The packaging cost was dozens of times more expensive than these keychains.
He clearly doesn't have a girlfriend, so he doesn't know who to give it to.
Given his social circle, he would be rejected by anyone if he gave it to someone else.
Apart from……
Lu Junyan left the pair of keychains on his dining table.
After midnight, it is no longer Valentine's Day.
Chu Qingxue stayed in the studio until dawn the next day.
In the pitch-black office, the only light coming from the phone screen made Chu Qingxue's face look like a ghost.
Fan Yali told her that girls shouldn't be too proactive; if a man takes the initiative to throw himself at you, he'll think he can control you.
She listened.
They did as instructed.
As a result, he missed the chance to spend Valentine's Day with Lu Junyan.
Because Lu Junyan did not contact her proactively.
Chu Qingxue opened her phone's contact list and contacted someone.
But it wasn't Lu Junyan.
Recently, Jiang Ning's business has been on the rise. After a few deals, she made a little money and bought a very cheap used car.
Because she is alone and has to deliver jewelry to many clients, it is really inconvenient for her not to have a car.
Before she had a car, Bai Yichen usually drove her to her clients' places.
Bai Yichen himself was quite happy to do it, but Jiang Ning couldn't keep using Bai Yichen as a driver forever.
She had just delivered jewelry to a client tonight when she received a call from an unexpected person.
"Hello, Ms. Jiang, I am Ning Junzhe's mother."
Yin Xin's voice came through the receiver weak and listless.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly.
The car drove for about two hours, from the city center all the way to the suburbs.
This was Jiang Ning's first visit to Ning Junzhe's home.
Yin Xin was already waiting for Jiang Ning at the villa's main gate.
The last time Jiang Ning saw Yin Xin was at the Ning family's seaside villa in Country M.
At that time, Yin Xin acted wildly, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.
The current Yin Xin is completely different from that time, looking haggard like a terminally ill patient.
Jiang Ning didn't ask any further questions and followed Yin Xin into the villa.
Yin Xin had already explained the general situation to her over the phone.
As soon as Jiang Ning stepped into the villa, she saw Fu Xinyue sitting on the living room sofa. Fu Xinyue glared at her fiercely.
Ning Junzhe's room was on the second floor. Yin Xin opened the door with her key and let Jiang Ning go in alone.
Ning Junzhe's bedroom was large enough, and it was precisely because it was so large that Ning Junzhe's figure appeared pitifully thin.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
Ning Junzhe, standing before me, was slumped weakly on the ground, his entire body as thin as a lightning bolt.
Yin Xin told Jiang Ning over the phone that Ning Junzhe had refused to eat for a week.
No amount of persuasion or threats will work.
Yin Xin said she had already lost one son and couldn't afford to lose Ning Junzhe as well.
As long as Jiang Ning can persuade Ning Junzhe to eat, Jiang Ning is willing to make any request.
