Chapter 212 Holding Hands with Another Man
She still remembered that on Valentine's Day, Bai Yichen drove her to the top of the clouds on the 126th floor of the Isabelle Tower in Country C.
There, she met Lu Junyan.
At that time, Jiang Ning naturally assumed that Lu Junyan had taken Chu Qingxue to the top of the clouds to celebrate Valentine's Day.
However, in reality, she did not see Chu Qingxue at all that time.
Of course, she didn't see Lin Wanrong either.
But for some reason, when Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan appear at Lin Wanrong's competition venue, he inexplicably thought of that time they ate at the top of the clouds.
Lu Junyan at that time...
Was it really Chu Qingxue whom I arranged to meet?
Or is it...?
"Jiangning...Jiangning?"
Coming to her senses, Jiang Ning belatedly realized that Yuan Pei had been calling her.
"What's wrong?"
"You're asking me what's wrong? The game's already over."
Jiang Ning stood up and then heard Yuan Pei ask her a question.
"Should we go find Brother Lu?"
"No, let's not."
Jiang Ning shook his head.
Going to find Lu Junyan now would probably bother him!
Yuan Pei stood beside Jiang Ning, scrutinizing Jiang Ning's face.
Ever since Jiang Ning discovered that Lin Wanrong might be waving at Lu Junyan, he has looked preoccupied.
Yuan Pei felt a little uncomfortable in his chest, like it was being rubbed with sandpaper.
"Jiang Ning, you don't like Brother Lu anymore, right?"
Jiang Ning was taken aback, not understanding why Yuan Pei suddenly brought this up.
The relationship between her and Lu Junyan can only be described as a tragic one.
Her love for Lu Junyan only brought her endless pain and suffering.
Jiang Ning sighed.
Although Lu Junyan had shielded her from the attack when an employee of Xinyue Real Estate was laid off.
But she will no longer be so presumptuous as to think that Lu Junyan did that because he had feelings for her.
If Lu Junyan truly had feelings for her, he wouldn't have ignored her or even taken advantage of her misfortune when she was kidnapped or cyberbullied.
And then there's that child who never made it into this world...
Jiang Ning's eyes turned colder and colder, then he smiled faintly.
"Hmm, I don't like it anymore."
"real?"
Jiang Ning turned to look at Yuan Pei.
Unlike Lu Junyan, Yuan Pei was deep in thought, unpredictable, and hard to fathom.
Jiang Ning immediately guessed what Yuan Pei was thinking from his eyes and expression.
“I don’t care about Lu Junyan’s relationship with Lin Wanrong because I still like him.”
Although Jiang Ning said so, Yuan Pei was still skeptical.
Jiang Ning didn't want to explain any further, so he just shrugged and went downstairs with Yuan Pei.
At the same time, Lu Junyan went upstairs via the stairs next to him.
People came and went, and neither of them noticed the other.
Lu Junyan arrived at the rest hall to wait for others, his icy aura making others afraid to approach.
"Sorry for the long wait?"
A woman's confident voice came from behind.
Lu Junyan turned around and saw Lin Wanrong, who had already taken off her racing suit.
This was his first formal meeting with Lin Wanrong.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't in a restaurant or a hotel, but at a racetrack.
Lin Wanrong wore a sophisticated Morandi gray bodycon dress that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure. A red wool coat was casually draped over her arms, and her long, wavy, blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders.
Lin Wanrong's fair complexion complements her mature and rich makeup.
Lu Junyan stared at Lin Wanrong's face, but for some reason, Jiang Ning came to mind.
In his memory, Jiang Ning rarely wore such mature and heavy makeup.
Jiang Ning's makeup has always been very light.
Unlike Chu Qingxue, who always liked to dress in pink and girlish outfits, or Lin Wanrong, who was so feminine.
Lu Junyan once described Jiang Ning as being like plain water—
Bland and tasteless.
For three years of marriage, Jiang Ning had been a full-time housewife, rarely appearing in public and never wearing makeup at home. So Yuan Pei always called Jiang Ning "yellow-faced woman".
Compared to those women who dressed up exquisitely in social settings, Jiang Ning was indeed as bland as plain water.
But……
Only plain water can quench thirst.
Only plain boiled water can be drunk without harming your health.
And it gets sweeter the more you drink it.
Are we going to stand here forever?
Seeing that Lu Junyan remained silent, Lin Wanrong had no choice but to speak first.
No, I made a reservation at the restaurant.
Lu Junyan spoke calmly, then turned and took a step.
Lin Wanrong followed, walking beside Lu Junyan.
She is the kind of beauty who can catch your eye in a crowd. Because of her hot figure and feminine charm, coupled with her status as a racing goddess, many people cast envious glances at her as she left the Shining Star Circuit, and some even asked her for autographs.
However, the man walking beside her didn't even glance at her.
"Mr. Lu, did you invite me tonight to discuss personal or business matters?"
As Lin Wanrong sat in Lu Junyan's imperial blue Bentley, she asked this question.
Lu Junyan glanced at Lin Wanrong indifferently.
"What you believe it to be, is what it is."
Lin Wanrong paused for a moment, staring at Lu Junyan's sculpted profile. After a long while, she curled her fiery red lips.
The plane took off and soared into the sky.
Today, Jiang Ning and Pete flew together to Country Z to attend a charity gala.
"Guess whose item will fetch the higher price in the end?"
Pete asked Jiang Ning with great interest.
"That's definitely mine."
Jiang Ning smiled broadly.
She and Pitt were both invited guests to the charity gala tonight, and each of them prepared a piece of jewelry to donate to the organizers.
The dinner was held on the Royal Victoria Cruises ship in Country Z.
The cruise ship is brightly lit, combining luxury and romance. It exudes a royal and classical noble atmosphere, while also having a full range of modern amusement facilities.
Pete waited for Jiang Ning to change into her formal attire at the door of the guest room.
Jiang Ning's role tonight is both that of a bidder and a donor.
She chose a white dress at Sister Zhao's shop; it was simple and understated, and suited her perfectly.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Pete staring blankly at her.
"What's wrong, Pete?"
Pete snapped out of his daze and scratched his cheek.
"It's nothing, it's just that you're so beautiful, so beautiful that I can't help but wonder if I'm worthy of standing next to you."
Jiang Ning blushed and lowered her head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by Pete's praise.
Let's go!
Pete bent his arm, giving Jiang Ning a signal.
Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, then took Pete's arm.
The two of them walked hand in hand down the corridor, where they met three people at the end.
Lu Junyan, Lu Yexiong, and Yang Liyun saw Jiang Ning almost at the same time.
Only Lu Junyan's gaze immediately fell on Jiang Ning's hands.
Jiang Ning's hand was linked with Pete's arm.
Lu Junyan frowned, and the cold air emanating from his body instantly lowered the temperature of the entire corridor.
Soon, Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun also noticed that Jiang Ning was holding hands with another man.
