Chapter 20 Chu Qingxue, who wanted to vent her frustrations, went to find you.
Jiang Ning was startled when he saw Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan's aura was so powerful that Gu Lanlan and Ning Junzhe were silenced simply by him standing there.
Jiang Ning thought that Lu Junyan didn't seem to have come here for a social occasion and bumped into her by chance, but rather that he had come specifically to find her.
Lu Junyan didn't speak, but just stared straight at her, his eyes like needles, making her heart flutter.
"You have someone investigate me..."
When Lu Junyan spoke, his voice was cold and emotionless.
Before Jiang Ning could admit or deny it, he grabbed Jiang Ning's arm and pulled him up from the chair.
Gu Lanlan and Ning Junzhe naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Lu Junyan take Jiang Ning away.
"I don't want any outsiders present when I'm talking to my wife alone."
Lu Junyan's casual retort left Gu Lanlan and Ning Junzhe speechless.
The two of them were increasingly unable to catch up with Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning, who were walking ahead.
Jiang Ning was pulled along by Lu Junyan and led into the elevator.
Lu Junyan had a strong grip, and she couldn't break free.
Even after they entered the elevator, Lu Junyan's hand remained firmly gripping her arm.
Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan press the button for the 77th floor, and she knew that this was the hotel.
She didn't ask Lu Junyan what he wanted to do because she felt that Lu Junyan wouldn't answer her at all, and it would be pointless for her to ask.
It took some time to reach the 77th floor. Lu Junyan swiped his room card to open the door and pushed Jiang Ning into a guest room.
This room is incredibly large; it's probably the most expensive presidential suite in this Michelin three-key hotel.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but sneeze, and Lu Junyan's voice came from beside her:
"FY has extremely high standards for its employees. How did you get in?"
Jiang Ning turned her head to the side, avoiding Lu Junyan's sharp gaze.
"It was just a normal job application."
Lu Junyan chuckled.
"What HR department would hire someone with only a high school diploma?"
Jiang Ning's hands gradually clenched into fists.
Her lack of formal education seemed to have become a stain on her life.
"Don't you know why I only have a high school diploma?"
When questioned by Jiang Ning, Lu Junyan paused for a moment, put his hands in his pockets, shrugged and smiled, "Are you trying to say that it's my fault for having a low level of education?"
"You were the one who made me give up my studies to marry you, and you said you would take care of me..."
"So I forced you to agree to marry me?"
Lu Junyan coldly interrupted Jiang Ning.
"You won't refuse if I propose to you?"
"..."
"You wouldn't disagree if I asked you to drop out of school?"
"..."
"And besides, we've been married for three years, haven't I supported you?"
Faced with Lu Junyan's eloquent argument, Jiang Ning had nothing more to say.
In front of Lu Junyan, she always seemed to be in the wrong.
Yes, Lu Junyan did nothing wrong.
She can only blame herself for being too love-struck.
Jiang Ning's long fingernails dug her palms until they were red, but she still couldn't suppress the pain in her heart.
Seeing Jiang Ning's eyes redden and her slender body seemingly trembling, Lu Junyan sighed softly.
"I didn't come here today to argue with you..."
His gaze fell on Jiang Ning's arm. Jiang Ning had fair skin, so the red marks on it looked particularly noticeable.
Lu Junyan frowned, only then realizing that he had indeed grabbed Jiang Ning too hard.
Without saying a word, he went into the suite and came out holding a large bouquet of bright red roses.
Jiang Ning now finally understood why she couldn't help sneezing when she first entered the apartment.
"Since you had someone investigate me, you should know that I didn't cheat on you..."
Lu Junyan, holding a bouquet of roses, looked incredibly romantic, but his exquisitely sculpted face was serious and somewhat stern.
“I don’t care which connections you used to get into FY, but if you dare to betray me, I will make you pay the price.”
Despite his harsh words, Lu Junyan handed the bouquet to Jiang Ning.
“Since you don’t like pink roses, I bought red ones this time… Also, you don’t need to compare yourself to Qingxue in everything. Qingxue was able to get into FY because she is excellent. It’s normal that you can’t compare to her. And I don’t need a woman who is too excellent to be my wife.”
Seeing that Jiang Ning did not accept the bouquet, Lu Junyan forcibly stuffed it into Jiang Ning's arms, then put his arm around Jiang Ning's shoulder and led her into the suite.
This signal made Jiang Ning freeze.
She quickly returned the flowers to Lu Junyan and turned to leave.
Lu Junyan naturally didn't give her that chance.
He pressed Jiang Ning against the wall and lowered his head to kiss her.
Jiang Ning struggled violently.
In Lu Junyan's memory, Jiang Ning had never been so resistant to him.
"Lu Junyan, I've already asked you for a divorce, you can't treat me like this!"
Hearing the word "divorce" from Jiang Ning's mouth again, Lu Junyan felt extremely disappointed.
“This kind of tactic goes too far and loses its meaning, Jiang Ning. I will not get a divorce. Meeting my needs is your duty as my legal wife.”
Lu Junyan had said this to her more than once.
Being a housewife is her duty.
Providing him with an outlet for his frustrations was also part of her job.
Jiang Ning still remembers the night she miscarried, when Lu Junyan also used "duty" to force her.
Then her child died.
Snap!
The presidential suite suddenly fell silent.
Lu Junyan didn't even know how Jiang Ning slapped him until the burning sensation on half of his face slowly crept up.
He stared in shock at Jiang Ning, whose eyes had reddened.
Jiang Ning's skin was pale with a rosy undertone, and she was facing him with an angry expression, her eyes filled with a bright, stubborn, and fierce determination.
"Lu Junyan, I'm not playing hard to get. If you want to vent, go find your Chu Qingxue. Don't touch me!"
Jiang Ning roared, his voice becoming hoarse.
Lu Junyan looked at Jiang Ning, who was speaking with righteous indignation, for a long time, then shrugged and smiled.
That smile made Jiang Ning's chest tighten.
He took out his phone and made a call, his charming smile always upturned at the corners of his lips.
"Junyan?"
After the call was connected, Lu Junyan pressed the speakerphone button.
Chu Qingxue's sweet voice came through the receiver.
"Didn't you say you were going to discuss business tonight? Why are you calling me?"
"The business deal is done. I'd like to ask what you're doing?" Lu Junyan was speaking to Chu Qingxue, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning's face turned pale.
"I'm putting on a face mask right now!" Chu Qingxue said on the other end of the phone.
"So you've already taken a shower?"
Lu Junyan asked this question with complete ease, as if he knew exactly what Chu Qingxue did at night.
Furthermore, this statement sounded highly sexually suggestive to Jiang Ning.
Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue chatted for a few more minutes, but Jiang Ning didn't hear a word of it.
"I'm coming to your place right now."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Junyan opened the door and left as if he hadn't seen Jiang Ning.
In the presidential suite, only Jiang Ning, disheveled, and the trampled red roses on the floor remained.
Jiang Ning squatted down, hugging her knees tightly with both hands, her chest aching so much that she couldn't breathe.
Her hands were trembling, and her phone, which had fallen to the ground, was vibrating.
"……Hello?"
She picked up her phone and tried to appear calm.
