Chapter 210 Admitting You Still Have Feelings for Me
Jiang Ning wasn't unaware of the subtle expectation in Lu Jun's tone.
She smiled and answered casually:
"Because I have a conscience, I won't stoop to the level of the injured."
As she spoke, she took the porridge out of the food bag.
"Just conscience?"
Jiang Ning paused in his movements.
"Jiang Ning, is it so hard for you to admit that you still have feelings for me?"
Lu Junyan suddenly grasped Jiang Ning's hand.
This time, Lu Junyan's palms were warm.
Lu Junyan thought Jiang Ning would immediately shake him off.
However, Jiangning did not.
“Lu Junyan…”
Jiang Ning glanced at Lu Junyan sideways, her eyes as calm as a still pond.
Lu Junyan's heart suddenly became unsettled.
“We were together before, you should know me… Just imagine, three years ago, would I have bought you porridge from the small restaurant across from the hospital for dinner when you were in the hospital?”
As Jiang Ning said those words, Lu Junyan's palm, which was holding her hand, suddenly turned cold.
Lu Junyan's brows furrowed little by little, and his expression was very displeased.
Jiang Ning is right.
If it were Jiang Ning three years ago, she would have cooked porridge for him herself. No matter how late it was, she would have personally bought the freshest ingredients and cooked the most nutritious porridge for him.
In the three years of their marriage, Lu Junyan had been sick before, and each time he was able to drink porridge cooked by Jiang Ning herself.
Seeing Lu Junyan let go, Jiang Ning continued to scoop the porridge she had bought into a disposable plastic bowl and handed it to Lu Junyan.
"I don't want to drink this."
Jiang Ning took the bowl back.
"Then you'll order takeout yourself?"
Lu Junyan, with a cold face, reached out his hand to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning handed the porridge over again.
Lu Junyan tasted the porridge from the small restaurant, and compared to the porridge Jiang Ning used to cook for him, it was much worse.
He suddenly missed the craftsmanship of Jiangning.
During the days when he could eat Jiang Ning's cooking, he never imagined that one day he would never be able to taste that flavor again.
Lu Junyan only took one bite before putting the porridge down.
He didn't order takeout either.
As a result, he was hungry all night.
Jiang Ning ignored him.
Jiang Ning stayed behind to take care of Lu Junyan, but she only considered herself a caregiver.
She was no longer his devoted wife, and naturally she wouldn't be so obedient to him.
Lu Junyan was not unaware of Jiang Ning's businesslike attitude, but he still patiently searched for any clues that Jiang Ning might still have feelings for him.
Today, Jiangning brought an unprecedented three-tiered rice bucket to the hospital.
Lu Junyan's eyes lit up instantly.
During his week-long hospital stay, he ate only food bought from restaurants outside. Although he tried different dishes, none of them suited his taste.
But today is different.
From the moment Lu Junyan saw that big rice bucket, he had been looking forward to tasting Jiang Ning's cooking, and he became ravenous before noon.
However, Jiang Ning still hadn't returned by 2 PM.
Jiang Ning was at the science and technology industrial park at this time.
Bai Yichen works here.
"Xiao Bai, you're so enviable! You have a girlfriend who brings you food!"
"The legendary 'beloved wife bento'?"
Bai Yichen's superiors and colleagues all said with great envy.
"She's not my girlfriend yet!"
Although Bai Yichen said that, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Your tone... suggests you're still pursuing her?"
"I think it's pretty much true; they've already brought you food."
"Xiao Bai, you need to be more proactive!"
Bai Yichen listened to his colleagues' gossip, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
When Jiang Ning returned after washing the lunchbox, she noticed that the people in the office were giving her somewhat ambiguous looks.
She heard it from Gu Lanlan, who said that Bai Yichen's project development hadn't been going well lately. Bai Yichen was often working overtime, staying up late until his stomach hurt, and his meals were irregular.
Jiang Ning felt that she had angered Bai Yichen before, so this time she deliberately made a few stomach-soothing medicinal dishes and sent them to Bai Yichen.
By the time Jiang Ning returned to the hospital, it was almost 3 p.m.
Didn't you order takeout yourself?
Jiang Ning discovered that there was no food in Lu Junyan's hospital room.
Lu Junyan's sharp gaze fell on the three-tiered rice bucket in Jiang Ning's hand.
"Didn't you make me some food?"
His voice was indifferent and cold.
Jiang Ning was taken aback and looked awkwardly at the lunchbox in his hand.
"You mean this... This wasn't made for you to eat."
"Who was it made for?"
Lu Junyan's tone carried a clear interrogative quality.
Jiang Ning frowned.
"It's none of your business who it's made for!"
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me?"
Lu Junyan tried to get up, but the pain from his incision prevented him from moving.
Jiang Ning was worried that Lu Junyan's incision would reopen, so she quickly called the doctor. The doctor instructed Lu Junyan to rest well and not to get angry.
Lu Junyan lay back down on the bed, his face showing a look of utter despair.
Jiang Ning never expected that a meal she cooked herself could make Lu Junyan so angry.
Lu Junyan used to eat her cooking every day, but he never seemed to like it that much.
"...You can leave now!"
Suddenly, Lu Junyan said this.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
"You don't need to come tomorrow either."
Jiang Ning blinked, feeling like he'd been fired by Lu Junyan.
She left Lu Junyan's hospital room without saying a word.
Before leaving the hospital, she went to the chief physician to inquire about Lu Junyan's domineering nature.
Hearing that Lu Junyan had hired a caregiver again, Yuan Pei became curious and went to the hospital to visit Lu Junyan.
As a result, Lu Junyan's expression was as if he owed him hundreds of billions.
Yuan Pei also didn't understand why Lu Junyan was in a bad mood.
Jiang Ning had been taking care of him at the hospital for the previous few days.
In his impression, Jiang Ning was the type who knew how to serve people, so shouldn't Lu Junyan be in a good mood?
"Brother Lu, your wife is here."
Yuan Pei became overjoyed as soon as he saw Chu Qingxue.
He was the one who notified Chu Qingxue to come.
Because the atmosphere in the ward was too oppressive, he secretly contacted Chu Qingxue, thinking that if Chu Qingxue came to visit Lu Junyan, Lu Junyan's mood would definitely improve.
As a result, Lu Junyan glanced at Chu Qingxue, his eyes completely unmoved.
Yuan Pei wisely left, no longer acting as a third wheel in the ward, thus creating some alone time for Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue.
After leaving the hospital, he called Jiang Ning.
"Jiang Ning, what did you do to make Brother Lu so angry?"
Jiang Ning was in his office at the moment.
She missed a lot of work while accompanying her child in the hospital, and now she can only catch up by working overtime.
What happened to Lu Junyan?
Jiang Ning remembered that when she left the hospital, she deliberately asked Lu Junyan's attending physician, who was also the head of surgery at that hospital, that Lu Junyan's injuries were recovering well and he could be discharged after a few more days of rest.
"Brother Lu's injury isn't serious, but I feel like he's about to turn into a pufferfish with anger. His face is always puffed up with rage."
Jiang Ning chuckled to himself after imagining Yuan Pei's description of Lu Junyan.
"So you're taking care of Lu Junyan at the hospital now?"
"How could that be... I'm a grown man, how would I know how to take care of people! Brother Lu has his wife with him!"
Jiang Ning blinked unintentionally.
From the very beginning, Lu Junyan should not have approached her; he should have had Chu Qingxue accompany him instead.
However, Jiang Ning could guess what Lu Junyan was thinking.
He definitely wouldn't want Chu Qingxue to do such dirty and tiring work as a caregiver.
She had always been treated as a nanny or maid by Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning gave a silent, cold laugh.
"By the way, Jiang Ning, could you spare some time to spend with me in the middle of next month?"
Yuan Pei's words piqued Jiang Ning's interest.
"What would I do with you?"
"Watching a car race in country C."
"Country C?"
Jiang Ning's long eyelashes are upturned.
"Yes... I heard that there's a racing newbie in Country C, who's really amazing, and she's a girl... Oh right, it seems she shares the same last name as your pseudonym, Lin."
