Chapter 330 Let's Remarry
Jiang Ning looked up and saw Lu Junyan's serious expression reflected in his eyes.
"Is this what you mean by being able to protect yourself?"
The barrage of questions left Jiang Ning speechless.
If the person who was aiming at her just now really was the Joker, she might already be dead if Lu Junyan wasn't there.
Jiang Ning felt a jolt of fear.
The next second, Lu Junyan hugged her even tighter.
Jiang Ning's dress today was very thin, and the fabric became even more see-through after she went into the water.
She was tightly embraced by Lu Junyan's body, as if she were completely naked and enveloped by his body temperature and breath.
This feeling made Jiang Ning feel ashamed and flustered.
"If you keep hugging like this, it'll be trending on social media tomorrow."
Jiang Ning reminded him softly.
Lu Junyan smiled.
"Let it go. Then there will be a chorus of voices online urging us to remarry."
"Remarry?"
Jiang Ning let out a cold laugh.
"You're dreaming... You think that just because you protected me, I'll repay you with my body?"
Despite his sarcastic remarks, Jiang Ning was still somewhat moved.
After all, if the assassin had pulled the trigger at that moment, the bullet would undoubtedly have hit Lu Junyan, who was rushing towards her.
At that moment, Lu Junyan reacted very quickly.
If there is even the slightest hesitation, a gunshot will ring out, and the assassin may have already succeeded.
And so she entrusted her life to this place.
So Lu Junyan was so reckless... because he remembered that she was A Chu from the juvenile detention center?
Lu Junyan looked down at Jiang Ning's preoccupied face.
He wanted to tell Jiang Ning that he protected her because he wanted to protect her, not because he wanted to get anything from her.
However, in the end, Lu Junyan said nothing.
Because he knew Jiang Ning wouldn't believe it.
When did he become a liar in Jiang Ning's eyes?
Lu Junyan gently closed his eyes and released Jiang Ning.
He's not afraid of onlookers or trending on social media.
Standing in the water for a long time would be cold, especially since Jiang Ning was dressed in thin clothes.
Although Lu Junyan's suit was also wet, it was at least not see-through, so he used the suit to wrap Jiang Ning's body.
"Thank you, Lu Junyan..."
Before going ashore, Lu Junyan heard Jiang Ning express his gratitude.
It was just a polite thank you, but it was like a piece of candy, sweetening Lu Junyan's heart.
Lu Junyan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He never knew he was so useless.
President Sun personally led Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning to the guest room to change clothes. The two rooms faced each other, and after they finished changing, they happened to open the door and walk out together.
The corridor was filled with plainclothes bodyguards from the Lu family, as well as bodyguards hired by Jiang Ning.
"Jiang Ning, tonight's events should make you understand that I'm not exaggerating!"
Lu Junyan spoke first, and Jiang Ning remained silent.
"Accept my protection until I catch that Joker... The Lu family's bodyguards are more reliable than the ones you hire yourself."
Although the two bodyguards hired by Jiang Ning were present, they did not dare to contradict Lu Junyan.
Just now by the pool, Lu Junyan's reaction was indeed faster than the other two.
And thankfully, the other party didn't actually fire a shot, otherwise the person who would have died would most likely have been Lu Junyan.
If Lu Junyan really dies, there's a high chance the two of them will be implicated, and they might disappear from this world without even knowing how.
The two bodyguards exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly, and stepped forward to resign from their jobs, even refusing their pay.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ning lost his bodyguards.
She couldn't help but glare at Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan was bewildered by the glare.
"It wasn't me who threatened them... I can only say they're pragmatic."
"Then I'm the one who's out of touch with reality."
Jiang Ning started walking on his own.
"Jiang Ning, I have no demands... I just want to protect you..."
Lu Junyan caught up with Jiang Ning, who was striding along, and grabbed Jiang Ning's arm.
"I swore I would protect you for the rest of my life..."
Jiang Ning suddenly stopped.
This vow was made by Lu Junyan to Achu when they were in the juvenile detention center.
Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan and coldly shook off Lu Junyan's hand.
"You're only just realizing this now..."
Lu Junyan was taken aback.
He wanted to tell Jiang Ning that he hadn't just remembered this vow.
Rather, he had mistaken the person to whom he was fulfilling his oath.
However, before Lu Junyan could explain, Jiang Ning had already returned to the pool party, enthusiastically and actively socializing with different people, clearly not wanting to listen to him.
Upon returning to City A, Jiang Ning upgraded his security team, and this high level of preparedness attracted the attention of those around him.
For example, Bai Yichen, and Gu Lanlan.
Under repeated questioning from the two, Jiang Ning finally revealed that he had been targeted by a sniper rifle while attending a pool party in City B.
Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan were immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Ah Ning, who dares to kill you in broad daylight...?"
After Gu Lanlan asked the question, she saw that Jiang Ning remained silent. She thought about it for a moment and then suddenly realized what was going on.
"Could it be... Gu Jinci?"
Now she should call him the Joker.
"Hmm...it should be him..."
Jiang Ning nodded, but his expression was one of bewilderment.
"Regardless of why he wants to kill me, he is definitely a very dangerous person... You two had better not come looking for me, at least not near me until he is caught..."
"I don't want to!"
Gu Lanlan immediately rejected Jiang Ning's suggestion.
"I know you're worried about us, but it's precisely because you're being watched now that we need to stay by your side!"
"Lanlan is right."
Bai Yichen echoed.
Jiang Ning looked at Gu Lanlan, then at Bai Yichen, her eyes filled with gratitude.
But soon, that gratitude turned into resolute farewell.
"You two have to listen to me on this matter. If you don't... I'll break off all ties with you two right now."
Jiang Ning said this with absolute certainty.
Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan realized that Jiang Ning was serious.
In the end, Jiang Ning sent a bodyguard to escort Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan home.
In the office, she picked up her phone and called Shen Yunlin.
"Master, Master, have you decided to participate in my piano competition?"
Shen Yunlin's joyful voice immediately came through the receiver.
"Yes, I've decided to participate..."
"Yay!"
"But I need your help."
"What can I do for you, Master? Please give me your instructions."
"that is……"
Night is falling and the city lights are coming on.
She didn't even know when Jiang Ning fell asleep on her desk.
I woke up because I heard a gunshot—
I was startled awake.
But no one actually shot at her.
Jiang Ning was dreaming. She dreamt that Gu Jinci was face to face with her and suddenly pulled out a pistol.
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at her, as if it were instantly sucking away her life.
Jiang Ning touched his chest and took a deep breath.
My racing heartbeat hasn't stopped yet.
All the security personnel she arranged were present.
She knew.
Even though she didn't need to be so worried, she still couldn't help feeling afraid.
Especially when I'm alone in the office.
Loneliness, accompanied by fear, crept up from the soles of my feet.
The overly quiet office amplified this loneliness countless times.
She was the one who asked to be alone, but now she wants someone to be with her.
Jiang Ning felt that she was too useless.
Picking up the phone was entirely subconscious. When Jiang Ning came to her senses, the phone screen was frozen on the call interface, with the name in front of her thumb—
It was Lu Junyan.
