Chapter 271 You Never Loved Me
Although Jiang Ning's main job used to be a housewife, she did accompany Lu Junyan to formal occasions.
At that time, Lu Junyan decided all of Jiang Ning's clothing, accessories, and the dishes she ordered.
Lu Junyan never asked for her advice, nor did he give her the right to make a decision.
She was like a beautiful decoration, always obeying Lu Junyan's every word.
But tonight is different.
Even when Bai Yichen invited her to dinner here, he had prepared a dress and jewelry for her in advance.
She doesn't need to choose.
But this time, Lu Junyan prepared a room full of clothes for her.
I asked for her opinion before ordering the food.
He gave her the choice.
This is something Lu Junyan would never have done in the past.
But these are things that Lu Junyan, a teenager, would do during his time in the juvenile detention center.
In a daze, Jiang Ning felt that Lu Junyan hadn't actually changed.
When the food arrived, Jiang Ning was surprised to find that Lu Junyan had ordered the exact same dishes as her, both being Set Meal C.
Set meal C includes garlic lobster.
In Jiang Ning's memory, Lu Junyan doesn't eat garlic.
Lu Junyan said he was afraid of irritating his stomach, but cooked garlic is not too irritating.
Jiang Ning guessed that Lu Junyan probably just didn't like the taste of garlic.
She watched Lu Junyan as he picked up his knife and fork, eating elegantly, and naturally put the garlic lobster into his mouth.
His brows furrowed, twisting like a pretzel.
This was the first time Jiang Ning had ever seen Lu Junyan force her to eat food she didn't like.
His expression was a bit comical, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle.
Knowing that Jiang Ning was mocking him, Lu Junyan frowned even more deeply.
But as he chewed, his brows gradually relaxed.
Cooked garlic is indeed much less pungent than raw garlic.
At first, Lu Junyan wasn't used to the taste, but gradually, the rich, sweet aroma of caramelized garlic after being stir-fried in oil, combined with the natural freshness of the lobster, made it more and more delicious and addictive.
"It tastes good, no wonder you like it."
Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan fork another piece of garlic lobster and eat it with relish.
"Why the sudden change of pace?"
Jiang Ning was puzzled.
"I just want to try some of your favorite foods."
Lu Junyan answered solemnly.
If we include the year they were separated, his marriage with Jiang Ning has lasted for four years.
However, he didn't even know what Jiang Ning liked to eat or what color clothes she liked.
He seemed to know nothing about Jiangning.
I wasn't interested in knowing before.
All he knew was that Jiang Ning loved him and was his possession.
Lu Junyan felt a sharp pain in his chest, like small pebbles rubbing against something.
Just then, he heard Jiang Ning call his name:
“Lu Junyan…”
"I've handed Chu Qingxue over to the leader of the Dragon Fang Gang."
Lu Junyan's quick change of topic caught Jiang Ning off guard.
He deliberately interrupted.
Because his intuition told him that he definitely wouldn't like to hear what Jiang Ning was about to say.
"Actually, even if you don't hand her over to the Dragon Fang Gang, they won't let her go."
Jiang Ning said calmly.
"That's true..."
Lu Junyan gave a bitter smile.
"Looks like I failed to claim credit."
"Trying to take credit?"
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyelids.
"You're not trying to say that you treated Chu Qingxue this way because of me, are you?"
This question left Lu Junyan speechless.
Jiang Ning is right.
Even if he doesn't contact the leader of the Dragon Fang Gang, the Dragon Fang Gang will not let Chu Qingxue go free.
However, he still wanted to hand Chu Qingxue over himself.
On one hand, it was indeed to avenge Jiang Ning, and on the other hand, it was also because he wanted to punish Chu Qingxue.
"Chu Qingxue... she lied to me."
Lu Junyan muttered to himself.
He originally didn't want to tell Jiang Ning about this.
But he also hoped that Jiang Ning could believe that he truly had no lingering feelings for Chu Qingxue now.
"Chu Qingxue is not my first love; she lied to me."
Lu Junyan spoke these words with absolute certainty.
Jiang Ning could tell that Lu Junyan's love for Chu Qingxue had truly turned into hatred.
However, she couldn't understand what Lu Junyan was saying.
What does it mean that "Chu Qingxue is not my first love, she lied to me"?
Doesn't Lu Junyan know whether she is his first love or not?
Jiang Ning had questions lingering in her mind, but she didn't ask them aloud.
Whoever Lu Junyan's first love was, it's none of her business anymore.
"oh."
Jiang Ning's reaction was unexpectedly cold to Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan tightened his grip on the knife and fork.
"Jiangning..."
"If Chu Qingxue wasn't lying to you, you wouldn't be willing to give her up to the Dragon Fang Gang, would you?"
Jiang Ning took a sip of champagne and asked casually.
Lu Junyan felt as if he had been punched in the chest.
"I……"
If Chu Qingxue is really A Chu, he really can't be this heartless.
Jiang Ning saw the conflicted, troubled, and embarrassed expression on Lu Junyan's face and couldn't help but sigh.
“Lu Junyan, in your eyes, I’m just a backup plan, a pet you can call on and dismiss at will… You never loved me when you married me, and the reason you’re chasing me back now isn’t because you truly love me…”
"No, it's Jiangning..."
"Why not?"
"I……"
"Before Chu Qingxue revealed her secret, didn't you swear that you would force me to avenge her?"
"..."
"Admit it, Lu Junyan, you've never loved me from beginning to end."
"no!"
With a loud bang, Lu Junyan slammed his fists on the dining table.
His voice was particularly abrupt above the elegant clouds.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Junyan.
This includes the Lu family and the Lin family at the next table.
Jiang Ning sat opposite Lu Junyan, calmly eating her meal, a stark contrast to Lu Junyan's fury, as if she didn't care about his reaction.
Lin Yueheng's gaze lingered between Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan, his eyes flickering between light and shadow.
Lu Yexiong noticed that Lin Yueheng seemed to care a lot about Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan, and immediately explained, "Minister Lin, please don't mind. Although Jiang Ning and Junyan haven't divorced yet, they've been separated for a long time..."
"Yes, yes, they've separated." Yang Liyun chimed in anxiously from the side.
"Moreover, Minister Lin, Madam Lin, you can tell from Junyan's attitude towards her that Junyan doesn't like her at all... It's all because of Old Master Lu's interference that the divorce hasn't gone through..."
At this point, Yang Liyun could only shift the blame onto Lu Lifeng.
She couldn't very well say that Lu Junyan had insisted on clinging to Jiang Ning himself!
Yang Liyun still doesn't understand what Lu Junyan is thinking.
Instead of pursuing the young lady of the Lin family, he insisted on pursuing Jiang Ning.
"Junyan, that kid, he's always had high standards. He wouldn't even look down on that country bumpkin from Jiangning! Coming to a place like this to eat, and he's wearing flat shoes, really..."
Yang Liyun shook her head, slandering Jiang Ning while casting her gaze at Lin Wanrong.
