Chapter 278 Going to a Hotel
He thought that after he and Jiang Ning officially divorced, Jiang Ning never cared about him again.
However, in reality, it was Jiang Ning who saved him time and time again.
Whether before marriage, after marriage, or even after divorce... Jiang Ning silently sacrificed so much for him.
While he was being kidnapped, cyberbullied, and framed in Jiangning...
Where are they now?
Lu Junyan gripped his chest tightly.
The pain in his heart was so intense that he felt suffocated, and his vision blurred.
"Junyan, what are you doing here?"
Lu Yexiong's voice came from behind.
Lu Junyan turned his head, his eyes searching around Lu Yexiong's side.
"Where is Jiangning?"
"Why are you still looking for her? She's cheating on you with other men, what's there to be reluctant about with a woman like that... Listen to your father, divorce her as soon as possible."
Lu Yexiong spoke with absolute certainty.
"I will not divorce Jiang Ning."
"Are you possessed?! How can our Lu family form a marriage alliance with the Lin family if we don't divorce Jiang Ning?!"
Lu Yexiong roared.
Lu Junyan saw Lin Wanrong walking out of the ward, accompanied by Yang Liyun, behind Lu Yexiong.
Her charming smile instantly turned up.
"I never intended to marry into the Lin family. My initial agreement to meet Lin Wanrong was merely to spite Jiang Ning."
Lin Wanrong's professional fake smile vanished abruptly upon hearing Lu Junyan's words.
Lu Yexiong belatedly noticed Lin Wanrong and immediately went with Yang Liyun to see her off, while also explaining things to Lu Junyan.
In the corridor, Lu Junyan was all alone.
His sculpted face was etched with the shadows of loneliness at every angle.
He subconsciously took out his phone and dialed Jiang Ning's number.
It seemed that only Jiang Ning could fill the loneliness in his heart.
"Hello?"
The voice coming from the phone was a man's.
Lu Junyan's face darkened instantly.
"Where is Jiangning?"
"A-Ning is taking a bath!"
On the other end of the phone, Bai Yichen, carrying large and small bags, looked at Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan, who were shopping with great interest, and lied without changing his expression.
"I'm with Aning at the hotel. What do you need her for?"
Bai Yichen continued to provoke Lu Junyan.
The receiver was so silent it was as if no one was listening at all.
However, Bai Yichen knew very well that Lu Junyan was listening.
"Lu Junyan, is it really meaningful for you to trap Aning with marriage?"
"..."
“A-Ning doesn’t love you, and she doesn’t want to be your wife… Even if you’re not divorced yet, it won’t stop her from going to a hotel with me. If you enjoy seeing your wife with another man, then I don’t mind.”
After Bai Yichen finished speaking, he hung up the phone and put it back in Jiang Ning's handbag.
The hospital corridor was completely silent, except for a shattered cell phone lying on the floor.
Jiang Ning is shopping with Gu Lanlan.
Although she helped Gu Lanlan choose a lot of clothes and accessories, what they mainly wanted to buy this time was not Gu Lanlan's stuff.
"Gu Jinci said he's recently hit a bottleneck in developing a new system, so I thought, maybe giving him a gift would cheer him up..."
This is what Gu Lanlan said when she called Jiang Ning.
Because she had no dating experience and didn't think her taste was particularly good, Gu Lanlan asked Jiang Ning to help her choose.
Gu Lanlan couldn't afford anything too expensive, and she felt it wouldn't be appropriate to give anything too cheap as a gift.
I spent the whole afternoon shopping and bought a lot of women's clothing, but I still couldn't decide on the gift I really wanted.
"How about you try a different approach, Lanlan?"
I'm really tired from walking around Jiangning.
Let's buy a suit. Gu Lanlan doesn't know Gu Jinci's size, and she's afraid that even if she buys one, Gu Jinci won't be able to wear it.
Gu Lanlan thought about buying a watch or a handbag, but then she felt that Gu Jinci's current items were already quite high-end, and she wanted to buy something even more luxurious.
However, Gu Lanlan couldn't afford something more upscale, and Jiang Ning also disapproved of Gu Lanlan spending all her hard-earned savings on a single gift.
I looked around for ties or belts but couldn't find a suitable one.
Jiang Ning felt that Gu Lanlan was confused because she was too concerned.
Because he cared too much about Gu Jinci, he became hesitant and restrained.
"Lanlan, Gu Jinci... has he ever given you anything?"
Hearing Jiang Ning ask this question suddenly, Gu Lanlan blinked.
"It seems not..."
After muttering to herself, Gu Lanlan suddenly patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder.
"Oh dear, I'm not the kind of person who expects anything in return! Whether he gives me something or not, I still want to buy him a gift..."
Jiang Ning saw that Gu Lanlan's face was flushed, and he knew that Gu Lanlan was really head over heels in love with Gu Jinci.
Where do you usually eat?
Jiang Ning continued to ask.
"We usually order takeout."
"Order takeout?"
Seeing Jiang Ning's surprised expression, Gu Lanlan realized that she had let something slip and immediately covered her mouth, blushing.
Jiang Ning frowned.
Although Gu Lanlan is an adult, she shouldn't interfere in her love life.
But Gu Lanlan is her best friend, and she has no dating experience.
In addition, Gu Jinci always gave her an inexplicable sense of mystery.
Therefore, Jiang Ning found it difficult to convince himself to feel at ease.
Feeling shy and nervous under Jiang Ning's gaze, Gu Lanlan had no choice but to say, "Gu Jinci and I always go straight to the hotel for our dates... so we usually order takeout for meals."
"..."
Jiang Ning opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
As night falls, the city lights begin to illuminate the night.
In the end, Gu Lanlan still couldn't choose a suitable gift, so Jiang Ning gave her a suggestion: to bake a cake herself and give it to Gu Jinci.
The cake wasn't expensive, Gu Lanlan could afford it, and making it herself showed her sincerity. She could also share it with Gu Jinci, and sweets could relieve fatigue.
In the end, Gu Lanlan accepted Jiang Ning's suggestion and went on a shopping spree with him at the bakery.
"Thanks to you today, I'm going to start learning how to bake a cake right away."
"Call me anytime if you're unsure about anything."
Jiang Ning is confident in his culinary skills.
Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen left after Gu Lanlan entered the building.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yichen walked beside Jiang Ning and noticed that Jiang Ning looked preoccupied.
Instead of rushing back to their car, the two took a walk along the main road.
"I'm going to ask you something, and you must answer me truthfully..."
Jiang Ning turned to look at Bai Yichen and saw him nod at her.
"Okay, go ahead and ask!"
"If a man is dating his girlfriend and all he does is take her to hotels... do you think this man loves his girlfriend?"
Bai Yichen's steps slowly came to a stop.
He remained silent for a long time, not answering Jiang Ning's question, but instead asking Jiang Ning in return:
"Did Lanlan's boyfriend do this?"
Jiang Ning scratched his head.
She knew Bai Yichen was so smart, he must have guessed it.
Bai Yichen fell into a brief silence.
He didn't want to comment on other people's relationships.
After all, people have different ways of getting along.
All I can say is... if you were with me, I wouldn't treat you like this.
Bai Yichen said earnestly to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning couldn't sleep that night.
She felt it was necessary for her to arrange a meeting with Gu Jinci.
