Chapter 231 A Sweetheart is Preparing to Propose
Lu Junyan stared intently at Jiang Ning, his eyes flickering with light.
He once thought that Jiang Ning was only suitable to stay at home as a virtuous wife and loving mother, doing laundry, cooking, and managing household chores.
Jiangning's only redeeming quality is his delicious cooking and his hard work and dedication.
Like a top-notch nanny.
In a daze, Lu Junyan found it difficult to reconcile the Jiang Ning before him with the Jiang Ning of his past memories.
Since his nominal divorce from Jiang Ning, he has increasingly felt that he has never really understood her.
When did Jiang Ning become a BYC Master?
What kind of past do they have with Bai Yichen?
He knew none of these things.
He can send someone to investigate.
But he didn't.
Lu Junyan told himself that he didn't care that much about Jiang Ning's past.
But in reality, he was more afraid of finding out things he didn't want to know, especially things related to Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen.
Lu Junyan's gaze followed Jiang Ning's movements.
Jiangning looks beautiful today; it's not only beautiful, but also very elegant.
Especially when she's wearing a white mink cloak, she exudes an air of elegance and nobility.
Despite the presence of so many beautifully dressed women at the party, including some popular actresses, Jiang Ning still stood out stunningly, making everyone around her pale in comparison.
If we were to say what Jiangning lacks...
That is a male companion who is a good match for her.
Lu Junyan subconsciously took a step, but before he could take two steps, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
In an instant, Lu Junyan seemed to raise all his thorns, exuding a chilling aura.
"Junyan, it's me..."
Chu Qingxue's voice came from the side.
Lu Junyan then realized that it was Chu Qingxue who had grabbed his hand.
Lu Junyan silently withdrew his hand, only to see Chu Qingxue with a tearful expression, her large, watery eyes brimming with tears.
He frowned, but his heart softened.
He knew perfectly well that he had neglected Chu Qingxue during this period.
Even at this party, he didn't bring Chu Qingxue with him.
Chu Qingxue only obtained the invitation letter after begging Mo Yan.
Although Mo Yan had long since stopped liking Chu Qingxue, it was just an invitation, and he wouldn't be stingy enough not to give it to her.
Chu Qingxue firmly believed that she would be able to see Lu Junyan at this party.
You can also see Jiangning.
Chu Qingxue and Lu Junyan stood side by side, watching Jiang Ning walk through the crowd and come to Yuan Pei.
Yuan Pei faced Jiang Ning, his eyes shining brightly.
"Jiang Ning, you look beautiful today."
Yuan Pei praised sincerely.
"Only today is beautiful?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.
"No, no, you're beautiful every day, but you're even more beautiful today."
Jiang Ning felt embarrassed by Yuan Pei's praise, lowered her eyes, rummaged through her handbag, and pulled out a gift box, handing it to Yuan Pei.
"This is finally done."
"A gift for me?"
"Um."
Yuan Pei took the gift box, opened it, and found a brooch inside.
This men's brooch is simple, elegant, and technologically advanced. The K-gold gleams with a sophisticated cool white light, and the hidden setting of numerous emeralds paired with small diamonds gives it a noble and stylish feel.
Yuan Pei was so moved he almost cried, covering his mouth with one hand.
However, Jiang Ning felt that Yuan Pei's expression was too exaggerated, as if she had been proposed to in public.
"Did you design this yourself?"
"Of course, I set it myself!"
I absolutely love you!
Yuan Pei lunged forward and hugged Jiang Ning tightly.
Beside him, Mo Yan, who had witnessed the scene, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his narrow eyes behind the lenses squinting slightly.
Pete silently took a sip of champagne; the champagne didn't taste very good.
Chu Qingxue observed Lu Junyan discreetly, and she clearly sensed the changes in Lu Junyan's aura.
At Yuan Pei's insistence, Jiang Ning personally placed the brooch she designed and made onto Yuan Pei's suit.
Yuan Pei blushed, so happy she almost blew snot bubbles from her nose.
Chu Qingxue took Lu Junyan's hand.
"Junyan, shall we go and see? It seems Yuan Pei received a gift."
This time, Lu Junyan did not shake off Chu Qingxue.
Chu Qingxue's plump lips, adorned with pink lip gloss, curled up slightly.
She knew that Lu Junyan wouldn't refuse her when he was angry with Jiang Ning.
And so, Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue walked hand in hand to Yuan Pei.
"Yuan Pei, this brooch of yours is so exquisite. Is it a token of love from Jiang Ning?"
As soon as Chu Qingxue said this, the surrounding guests all started whispering and gossiping.
Yuan Pei's neck turned bright red as he exclaimed, "What token of love? Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense..."
"It's a thank-you gift."
Just as Jiang Ning finished emphasizing this, Lu Junyan spoke calmly:
Are you so afraid I'll misunderstand?
Jiang Ning glanced at Lu Junyan.
She was afraid of being misunderstood, and she was also afraid that other guests would misunderstand. Why was Lu Junyan trying to make himself look good?
"What did you do to help her that made her thank you so much?"
At this moment, Mo Yan also came over to join in the fun.
"It's nothing, I just helped her deal with Fu Xinyue in the same way she treated him."
Yuan Pei spoke the truth.
"Well, I helped you deal with Fu Xinyue too! Why aren't you thanking me?"
Seeing that Mo Yan also wanted a thank-you gift, Jiang Ning smiled wryly and asked in return:
"Then tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
"ring."
"good."
Jiang Ning readily agreed, only to hear Mo Yan add:
"One must practice the precepts."
"Huh?"
Jiang Ning tilted her head, her eyes filled with doubt as she looked at Mo Yan.
Mo Yan wants to exchange vows...
Does this mean she already has someone she likes and is planning to propose?
After asking Jiang Ning for the rings, Mo Yan glanced at Lu Junyan with a smile.
Lu Junyan, with a cold face, suddenly spoke as Jiang Ning turned to leave:
"Then I want a present too..."
Jiang Ning turned around, feeling bewildered.
"Mr. Lu, you're not asking for a thank-you gift either, are you?"
Lu Junyan did indeed bring down the Fu family, but Jiang Ning felt no gratitude towards him.
Her gaze swept lightly over Chu Qingxue beside Lu Junyan.
Chu Qingxue spoke in an affected manner:
"Jiang Ning, don't you remember? Junyan's birthday is coming up soon, and I ordered a birthday gift for him three months in advance."
Jiang Ning was stunned by what he heard. This reaction was like a thorn stuck in Lu Junyan's eye.
"Sorry, I forgot. If Mr. Lu wants a birthday present, I will have my assistant prepare it."
After saying that, Jiang Ning turned and left.
Her back view was graceful and slender, beautiful, and also cold.
Lu Junyan still remembers that during the three years he was married to Jiang Ning, every year on his birthday, Jiang Ning would cook a big table of his favorite dishes and make him a gift by hand.
Because he was already very rich, he had everything that money could buy.
So Jiang Ning chose to make things by hand: knitting scarves, making pottery, baking cakes...
Back then, Lu Junyan thought these things were childish and immature, like something a middle school student would do.
On Jiang Ning's birthday, he would give her priceless luxury goods.
Clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry—
No woman dislikes it.
He doesn't even need to choose, nor does he need to remember the dates.
Because Xiao Zhang will remember, and Xiao Zhang will deliver it for him.
so……
Is it now his turn to receive a birthday gift from his assistant?
Lu Junyan felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Just then, a food delivery arrived, bringing a basket of live river crabs. The deliveryman was Fu Xinyue.
