Chapter 357 Forcing Yourself to Do Things That Are Unsuitable
The white terrace was bathed in the orange-red light of the setting sun, as if draped in a layer of ambiguous veil.
The man was wearing a snow-white shirt with the top three buttons undone, revealing his sexy collarbone.
The evening breeze tousled her short, neat hair, and strands fell between her eyebrows, becoming the most charming embellishment.
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyelids.
Many people in the restaurant were looking in their direction, but Jiang Ning knew they weren't looking at her.
Instead, she was looking at the man standing next to her.
In Jiang Ning's memory, Lu Junyan rarely wore a white shirt instead of a suit.
Moreover, several buttons on the white shirt were undone.
It was clearly intentional.
How did you get here?
Jiang Ning took the initiative to speak.
Lu Junyan turned his head, and Jiang Ning's figure was reflected in his eyes, which were as dark as the night sea.
"Of course I came to see you... I've been standing next to you for a long time, but you were only focused on making phone calls."
After calling Yuan Pei, he called Gu Qian.
Jiang Ning actually saw the hurt of being neglected on Lu Junyan's face.
"Sorry, I didn't notice you."
"Am I just too inconspicuous?"
Logically speaking, Lu Junyan's presence should be prominent wherever he goes.
But Jiang Ning was truly focused on planning new products.
"Perhaps!"
Jiang Ning's words made Lu Junyan frown.
Lu Junyan absolutely did not believe that he would be invisible.
Jiang Ning didn't notice him; it could only be said that in Jiang Ning's eyes, he had no presence.
Lu Junyan couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually darkening.
Are you staying here tonight?
Lu Junyan asked Jiang Ning, who shook his head resolutely.
"No, I want to go back."
Let's go together!
"……good."
Jiang Ning did not refuse to travel with Lu Junyan, but she did not understand what the point was for Lu Junyan to travel all the way to P country to find her.
Just to see her once, and then go back to China with her?
Jiang Ning's lips moved, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
She wanted to book a plane ticket, but Lu Junyan grabbed her phone with his big hand.
"No need to order."
Jiang Ning turned her head and met Lu Junyan's gaze.
Lu Junyan's pupils were very dark, but his gaze was not as cold as before.
"I came here by private jet, you can take my plane!"
Booking a flight at this time was indeed difficult, so Jiang Ning ultimately chose to take Lu Junyan's private jet.
This private jet is large and impressive; Jiang Ning has flown on it before.
That time, she and Lu Junyan went to the United States together to get a divorce.
She was kidnapped and almost died there that time.
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan sat close together.
Neither of them spoke.
Lu Junyan had no idea what memories Jiang Ning had stirred up.
But he knew it wouldn't be a good memory.
Otherwise, Jiang Ning's expression wouldn't be so grim.
Two thin, cool lips parted, and Lu Junyan recalled the moment he uttered the question—
The last time Jiang Ning rode on his private jet was when they went to the United States to get a divorce.
For Jiang Ning, divorcing him might not be a bad memory.
However, being kidnapped by Qian Dazhi in the United States will probably be a psychological trauma for Jiang Ning for the rest of his life.
Lu Junyan clenched his fists secretly.
He had clearly sworn to protect Achu forever.
Jiang Ning was taking out paper and pen to brainstorm ideas when she caught a glimpse of Lu Junyan's face out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but be surprised.
There was hatred on Lu Junyan's face.
It seems he hates himself.
Jiang Ning shrugged, asked nothing, and focused on drawing.
After drawing for a while, she heard Lu Junyan ask her in her ear:
"Would you like some dessert?"
Jiang Ning subconsciously turned her head, only to find that she was too close to Lu Junyan.
So she hurriedly turned her head back.
Lu Junyan noticed Jiang Ning's concerns, smiled slightly, and put a little distance between them.
"You look a bit tired. Eating some sweets can help relieve fatigue."
"I'd better not, I'm afraid I'll get sleepy after eating sweets."
"What about the fruit?"
"Fruit is fine, do you have any on your plane?"
"If not, I can stop the plane and buy some."
Jiang Ning was amused by Lu Junyan's words.
This is an airplane, not a bicycle, that you can't just stop whenever you want.
"I'll eat whatever's available!"
Lu Junyan knew that Jiang Ning was never picky.
He asked someone to bring two bunches of grapes, one green and one purple.
Before asking Jiang Ning which type of grapes he wanted to eat first, Lu Junyan noticed that Jiang Ning seemed to have a design inspiration and was concentrating on drawing.
So, without asking any questions, he simply picked a purple grape, carefully peeled off the skin, and fed it to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was taken aback and looked at Lu Junyan in surprise.
Lu Junyan's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with peeling grapes for Jiang Ning himself.
"I'll do it myself!"
"You're drawing, let me do it!"
"But……"
"There's no 'but' about it. I just enjoy peeling grapes, not for you."
Jiang Ning: ? ? ?
Having known Lu Junyan for so many years, this was the first time she had learned that Lu Junyan's hobby was peeling grapes.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Jiang Ning eventually ate the grapes that were already in his mouth.
The grapes were delicious, sweet and juicy.
Lu Junyan picked another green one and peeled it for Jiang Ning to eat.
As Jiang Ning drew, Lu Junyan fed her, causing a subtle ripple in her chest.
She never imagined that one day, Lu Junyan would peel grapes for her by hand.
“Lu Junyan… don’t force yourself to do things that aren’t right for you. Even if you did, I wouldn’t thank you for it…”
Jiang Ning's words, "Heading engrossed in drawing," sounded more like he was talking to himself.
Lu Junyan, who was sitting next to her, smiled.
"Everyone says it's because I like peeling grapes."
"But you didn't eat a single one!"
"I only like peeling..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Junyan stuffed a peeled grape into Jiang Ning's mouth.
"Then I'll watch you eat."
The sweetness of the grapes spread throughout my mouth in an instant.
Jiang Ning met Lu Junyan's affectionate gaze, which was filled with a smile, and immediately looked away to continue drawing.
Lu Junyan fed Jiang Ning the entire two bunches of grapes, leaving Jiang Ning very full.
As it got later and later, Jiang Ning got tired of drawing and closed her eyes for a short rest.
Jiang Ning hadn't planned to sleep for long; she just wanted to take a nap to rest her eyes.
As a result of the long journey, she fell asleep without realizing it.
She was sleeping soundly.
Sitting next to Jiang Ning, Lu Junyan kept turning his head to stare at Jiang Ning's sleeping face.
He could tell that Jiang Ning had been exhausted lately; his brows showed signs of fatigue, and his face looked somewhat haggard.
He gently cupped Jiang Ning's head in his hand, letting her rest her head on his shoulder to sleep.
He would be Jiang Ning's pillow for as long as Jiang Ning slept.
Even if my shoulders are sore and numb.
When Jiang Ning woke up, it was already dawn. He was surprised that he had slept for so long.
What she didn't expect was that she woke up leaning on Lu Junyan's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, you could have pushed me away..."
Jiang Ning glanced at Lu Junyan's shoulder; there was a large patch of sweat on his white shirt.
