Chapter 299 Making Her Look at Him in a New Light
"Are you sure you want to jump together? Neither of you has bungee jumping experience, and you might get injured."
The staff reminded Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning in this way.
"Okay, let's jump together."
Lu Junyan answered crisply and decisively.
Jiang Ning stood on the edge of the cliff and turned to look at Lu Junyan beside him.
The wind made her hair look disheveled.
"You didn't even ask me if I wanted to jump down with you."
As Jiang Ning said this, Lu Junyan's large hand reached out and patiently tidied her messy hair.
In Jiang Ning's memory, Lu Junyan's hands were always very cold.
Just like Lu Junyan himself, he is cold-hearted and ruthless.
At this moment, they stood on the cliff, the sea breeze raging, salty and damp, seeping into their bones.
Luckily, Jiang Ning had changed into sportswear, otherwise she would definitely have been shivering from the cold.
In contrast, Lu Junyan's hands actually warmed up.
His slightly rough fingertips brushed against her cheek unintentionally, bringing a touch of warmth.
This little bit of warmth was insignificant, yet it miraculously warmed Jiang Ning's entire body.
After tidying Jiang Ning's hair, Lu Junyan slowly and deliberately answered Jiang Ning's question.
"I want to dance with you."
Seeing that Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning were both very calm, the staff checked them several times before helping them put on their safety equipment.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, you see jagged rocks and unfathomably deep seawater.
People may experience a dizzying and weightless sensation.
Weakness in the legs and panic are common occurrences.
However, Jiang Ning didn't react much.
Although it was her first time bungee jumping, the thrill of pushing her limits and the tension of being on the brink of death were not much different from when she was driving a race car.
So when Lu Junyan told her he was going to take her bungee jumping, she didn't feel any resistance.
Rather, I'm actually looking forward to it.
Jiang Ning just didn't understand why Lu Junyan would deliberately bring her bungee jumping.
What was even more unexpected was that Lu Junyan had a strong mental fortitude; standing side by side with her on the edge of the cliff, he remained calm and composed.
If there's anything about Lu Junyan that impressed her, it's the courage he's showing right now!
Aren't you afraid?
Jiang Ning subconsciously asked Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan glanced at Jiang Ning indifferently and smiled.
"A little..."
Jiang Ning burst out laughing.
Lu Junyan frowned.
Are you laughing at me?
"No, I didn't."
Although he said he wasn't smiling, the corners of Jiang Ning's lips never drooped.
She was surprised that Lu Junyan would so frankly admit that he was afraid.
"I thought you were fearless!"
These are Jiang Ning's true feelings.
Lu Junyan smiled and looked down at the abyss and rolling waves below.
“If I hadn’t jumped with you, I might have been even more scared.”
Jiang Ning stared at Lu Junyan's sharply defined profile. From his calm and composed face, it was impossible to tell how much fear Lu Junyan was hiding.
Under the guidance of the staff, Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan jumped down together.
No one gave up.
At the same time, the white Lexus stopped downstairs at the Lu Group building.
After finishing his work, Bai Yichen wanted to invite Jiang Ning to dinner, but he couldn't get through to Jiang Ning on her phone.
It was already dark by then.
Unable to contact Jiang Ning, Bai Yichen had no choice but to come and find him in person.
He didn't know where Jiang Ning was, but given Jiang Ning's ambition, he guessed that Jiang Ning was most likely at the Lu Group.
After all, the Lu Group is the largest of the many industries currently owned by Jiang Ning.
However, Jiang Ning is not here.
Bai Yichen learned from the receptionist, who was about to leave work, that Jiang Ning had not returned to the company.
Back in his car, Bai Yichen was deep in thought.
Jiang Ning did not return to the company...
I can't get through on the phone...
Lu Junyan's image flashed through Bai Yichen's mind.
Lu Junyan is currently Jiang Ning's assistant and also his driver.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Ning should be with Lu Junyan.
Bai Yichen clenched his fist and slammed it on the steering wheel.
He thought that this time, Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan would officially divorce, and Jiang Ning would no longer have to be bothered by Lu Junyan.
To his utter surprise, Lu Junyan was so shameless that he shamelessly became Jiang Ning's assistant.
Even though they were already divorced, the two became even more inseparable.
Bai Yichen gritted his teeth, his usually gentle and refined face revealing a rare hint of resentment.
He abruptly turned the steering wheel, and the white Lexus sped away, leaving the Lu Group in the dust.
At this time, the brightly lit city gradually began to doze off, and more and more lights went out.
However, there is one street that remains as bright as day even in the dead of night, bustling with activity.
Lu Junyan took two bottles of peanut milk and handed one of them to Jiang Ning.
He noticed that Jiang Ning was looking at him with an incredulous expression.
"What's wrong?" Lu Junyan asked curiously.
"I didn't expect you to be able to eat in a place like this." Jiang Ning turned his head and looked around.
This is the night market.
At this moment, she and Lu Junyan were sitting on the outdoor seats of a roadside barbecue restaurant.
On the table were various snacks that Lu Junyan had bought along the way, including braised meat, roasted bean curd, takoyaki, cold noodles, fried noodles, and roasted corn.
They are now waiting for their order of grilled skewers.
After bungee jumping, Jiang Ning's stomach rumbled loudly.
While bungee jumping may seem like it doesn't require much physical exertion, in reality, the physical and mental strain it takes is far greater than one might imagine.
The feeling of liberation after finishing extreme sports, in particular, only accelerates hunger.
As Jiang Ning's assistant, Lu Junyan naturally drove Jiang Ning to find a restaurant.
There are many restaurants to choose from at this time of day, and Jiangning hadn't originally planned to go to the night market.
Lu Junyan slowed down the car and asked her if she wanted to go to the night market next door for some snacks.
Jiang Ning hadn't visited a night market in a long time, but Lu Junyan's suggestion immediately piqued his interest.
She originally thought Lu Junyan would be very uncomfortable eating in such a place, but Lu Junyan seemed to be more enthusiastic than her, wanting to buy roasted bean curd skin one minute and roasted corn the next.
Lu Junyan even wanted to buy spicy snacks several times, but Jiang Ning stopped him each time.
"The kebabs are here."
The waiter brought out the freshly grilled meat skewers; half of them were sprinkled with chili powder, while the other half were not.
The one without chili powder was for Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning picked up a skewer of bright red meat and ate it with relish.
She noticed that Lu Junyan was staring at her, his eyes shining brightly, even brighter than the surrounding lights.
"You want to eat this?"
"Um……"
Lu Junyan nodded honestly.
The meat skewers sprinkled with chili powder smelled delicious.
"I won't give you any."
Jiang Ning ate three skewers without any hesitation.
Lu Junyan was both amused and exasperated.
He knew that Jiang Ning didn't let him eat spicy food because she was afraid his stomach problems would flare up again.
Lu Junyan picked up a non-spicy meat skewer.
The non-spicy meat skewers were clearly less flavorful than those sprinkled with chili powder, but when Lu Junyan thought about how Jiang Ning cared for him, he felt that these non-spicy meat skewers were the most delicious food in the world.
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan enjoyed their meal immensely.
Lu Junyan, in particular, devoured every snack.
As he was eating, Lu Junyan heard Jiang Ning's laughter.
"What's wrong? Is my eating style funny?"
Lu Junyan asked Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning shook his head.
"No, I'm laughing at myself..."
