Chapter 300 Interrogation
"Are you laughing at yourself?" Lu Junyan tilted his head, his eyes filled with incomprehension as he looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning took a sip of the cool peanut milk and felt refreshed.
"You know, when we got married, I bought a lot of cookbooks... some paper ones, some electronic ones... Because you have a stomach problem, your mother kept telling me to be careful when I cooked. This can't be put in, that can't be put in, the flavor can't be too strong, I'm afraid it will hurt your stomach, but it can't be too bland either, you won't like it and you won't be nice to me..."
Jiang Ning, who said these words, had a faint bitter smile on his face, his eyes calm and expressionless.
However, upon hearing these words, Lu Junyan felt as if a heavy stone had suddenly pressed on his chest, causing him to feel suffocated and in pain, making it difficult to breathe.
"Back then, besides cooking and doing housework, I spent all my time researching recipes... You couldn't just follow the recipe exactly; you also had to consider your taste and stomach condition, and make sure the nutrition was balanced... Looking back now, I was like an idiot... Look at you now, eating those heavily flavored, low-nutrition foods from the night market, and you still enjoy them."
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he picked up a skewer of grilled bean curd skin, his face beaming with a happy smile as he enjoyed the delicious food.
Lu Junyan also ate a skewer of grilled bean curd skin.
The same roasted bean curd skin tasted bitter to him, but he didn't find it delicious at all.
In the end, neither the kebabs nor the snacks they had bought earlier were left; Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan devoured them all.
Jiang Ning ate more than Lu Junyan.
When Lu Junyan drove his car to the building where Jiang Ning lived, the two of them immediately noticed the familiar white Lexus.
Nobody knows how long this car has been parked here.
But Jiang Ning's intuition told her that Bai Yichen must have been waiting for her here for a long time.
After parking the car, Lu Junyan got out first and opened the car door for Jiang Ning, acting very much like an assistant.
Bai Yichen got off the bus at the same time as Jiang Ning.
Under the cover of night, in the dim light of the streetlights, Jiang Ning saw that Bai Yichen's expression was very serious.
This is an expression that rarely appears on Bai Yichen's face.
His excessive seriousness, tinged with anger, seemed to transform into a sharp spear, carrying an extremely aggressive nature.
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
At that moment, a tall figure blocked her view, instantly cutting off her line of sight.
Lu Junyan faced Bai Yichen, who stopped in his tracks.
Even though Lu Junyan had toned down his aura somewhat, he still held his own against Bai Yichen, who was exuding his full aura.
Bai Yichen frowned and said coldly:
"Get out of the way."
Lu Junyan remained completely still.
"I am President Jiang's assistant, and protecting the leader is my duty."
Lu Junyan's high-sounding words made Bai Yichen sneer.
"It's as if I would hurt Aning... Lu Junyan, you've been the one hurting Aning all along, you have no right to say anything about protecting Aning."
Lu Junyan parted his thin lips slightly, without refuting.
At this moment, Jiang Ning walked out from behind him.
Lu Junyan raised his hand and grasped Jiang Ning's wrist.
Jiang Ning glanced at Lu Junyan and broke free from his hand.
A cool breeze entered his palms and seeped into Lu Junyan's heart, traveling along his limbs and bones.
Lu Junyan could only watch helplessly as Jiang Ning took the initiative to approach Bai Yichen.
Stay away from him.
"What's wrong, Bai Yichen?"
Jiang Ning realized that Bai Yichen was angry, and most likely angry at her.
Bai Yichen stared into Jiang Ning's bright yet confused eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally complained:
"You're not answering my calls."
Bai Yichen's voice wasn't loud; it sounded more like a coquettish tone.
Jiang Ning was stunned and quickly took out his phone.
The screen showed a total of twenty-seven missed calls.
Bai Yichen called her all of them.
She didn't bring her phone when she went bungee jumping, and she didn't even glance at it after getting back to her car.
She had no idea that Bai Yichen had made so many calls to her.
"I'm sorry, Bai Yichen, I didn't bring my phone."
Jiang Ning said to Bai Yichen with an apologetic expression.
Bai Yichen was never angry that Jiang Ning didn't answer his calls.
Bai Yichen was angry because Jiang Ning hadn't seen the call and hadn't taken his phone.
She was doing something with Lu Junyan, which is why she didn't have her phone with her.
"Is there something urgent you need to contact me about?"
Jiang Ning's question left Bai Yichen speechless.
He didn't actually have anything urgent to discuss with Jiang Ning.
I just wanted to invite Jiang Ning to dinner.
But Jiang Ning wouldn't answer the phone, which made him increasingly anxious and angry.
"It's urgent..."
Bai Yichen glanced at Lu Junyan, who was diagonally behind Jiang Ning.
"But I don't want to say it here."
Jiang Ning realized that Bai Yichen was bothered by Lu Junyan.
She also glanced at Lu Junyan.
Although Lu Junyan did not say a word, his expression was cold and stern, and he was full of naked hostility towards Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen felt the same hostility.
Jiang Ning even felt that if she weren't here right now, Lu Junyan and Bai Yichen would probably start fighting.
"Bai Yichen, let's go back..."
"Get in my car!"
Bai Yichen reached out and grabbed Jiang Ning's hand.
Jiang Ning was pulled by Bai Yichen into the white Lexus.
Lu Junyan watched helplessly as Bai Yichen's car drove past him.
Jiang Ning was sitting in the car.
Lu Junyan had no idea where Bai Yichen was taking Jiang Ning so late at night.
All he knew was that Jiang Ning shook off his hand.
However, he did not shake off Bai Yichen.
The feeling of loneliness was like a bucket of cold water poured over him, chilling him to the bone.
However, he didn't stay in one place for long before returning to his imperial blue Bentley.
The car started and followed the white Lexus at a moderate distance.
At first, Jiang Ning genuinely believed that Bai Yichen had something urgent to discuss with her.
After all, she rarely saw Bai Yichen get angry.
However, after she got into Bai Yichen's car, Bai Yichen didn't say a word and just drove quietly.
Jiang Ning did not ask Bai Yichen where he was going.
However, she had already realized that Bai Yichen probably didn't have anything urgent to discuss with her.
A white Lexus pulled up in front of a restaurant.
"This is a newly opened seafood restaurant. My colleague said the taste is very authentic and the ingredients are fresh. I think it's worth a try for a late-night snack."
Bai Yichen's voice returned to its usual gentle and refined tone.
Jiang Ning hummed in agreement, without telling Bai Yichen that she was already quite full from eating skewers and snacks at the night market.
The two sat in a two-person booth.
At this time, there weren't many people in the store.
However, because the decorations were so stylish, the fewer people there were, the stronger the romantic atmosphere became.
Bai Yichen ordered a set meal of lobster and bread crab.
When he started eating, he realized that Jiang Ning probably wasn't hungry.
"Ah Ning, if you're full, don't force yourself. I don't like seeing you give in to me."
Bai Yichen put down his knife and fork and solemnly said to Jiang Ning.
"Actually, the seafood at this restaurant is delicious, but I ate too much tonight and really can't eat anymore..." Jiang Ning smiled apologetically at Bai Yichen, "I should have told you before we ate, so you wouldn't have ordered so much."
"What did you eat for dinner?" Bai Yichen asked.
"Uh...it's a night market. I found a barbecue skewer shop at the night market."
"With Lu Junyan?"
Bai Yichen's usually gentle and refined voice suddenly dropped several octaves, giving Jiang Ning the illusion that he was being interrogated by Bai Yichen.
