Chapter 382 Raising Someone Else's Son
Sensing Lu Junyan's anger towards Shen Feiyang, Jiang Ning cleared her throat.
"He...helps out occasionally..."
If possible, Jiang Ning doesn't want to continue this topic.
The fact that Xiaoman is Shen Feiyang's child is completely fabricated. She is afraid that the more she talks about it, the more Lu Junyan will find fault with her.
"Shen Feiyang had a history of promiscuous relationships back in City A. Even though you have a child with him, he's not a responsible man..."
Over here, Lu Junyan righteously and sternly criticized Shen Feiyang.
Meanwhile, on W Island, Shen Feiyang, who was working overtime in his office, sneezed twice in a row.
"Who is it that's badmouthing me behind my back... I'm already such a miserable beast of burden..."
Country C, Imperial City, a family restaurant.
Lu Junyan got more and more excited as he spoke, and finally got to the point.
"I don't think he's suitable to be Xiaoman's father."
Jiang Ning was amused by Lu Junyan's righteous and stern words.
All that buildup was just to emphasize this point.
"Shen Feiyang is not suitable to be Xiaoman's father, so are you the one who is?"
"At least I'm definitely more suitable than Shen Feiyang."
Under Lu Junyan's unwavering gaze, it would be a lie to say that Jiang Ning's heart was not swayed at all.
She smiled.
"Lu Junyan, when did you become so humble that you'd be willing to raise someone else's son?"
Jiang Ning believed that her words would definitely anger Lu Junyan.
No man would willingly become a sucker, let alone an outstanding one like Lu Junyan.
Contrary to Jiang Ning's expectations, Lu Junyan was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and poked Xiaoman's little nose.
"Xiaoman is not someone else's son... he is your son."
Lu Junyan's voice was as gentle as water, but his eyes were as fiery as fire.
Jiang Ning was a little overwhelmed and lowered his head to eat.
This flustered and bewildered reaction made Lu Junyan's smile deepen.
He didn't rush to force Jiang Ning to give him an answer, but continued to feed Xiao Man until all the complementary food was finished.
Xiaoman let out a burp and then started babbling again.
Lu Junyan immediately realized that Xiaoman wanted to drink water, so he took out the water bottle and fed Xiaoman water.
While Jiang Ning ate a two-person set meal all by herself, Lu Junyan hadn't eaten anything yet!
"Xiaoman seems a little sleepy."
As Lu Junyan spoke, he let Xiaoman nestle against his chest.
Let's go back!
"But you haven't eaten anything yet!"
"I'm fine..."
Lu Junyan shook his head, but Jiang Ning disagreed.
"What if your stomach problems flare up again if you don't eat anything?"
Lu Junyan lifted his long eyelashes slightly, his eyes shining.
"You still care about me so much!"
Jiang Ning immediately turned her face away, feigning indifference: "I didn't care about you at all."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Junyan, who was standing in front of her, suddenly showed a very painful expression. He was holding Xiaoman with one arm and pressing his stomach with the other.
Even Xiaoman, nestled in his arms, sensed something was wrong with him and started babbling.
"Lu Junyan, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ning grabbed Lu Junyan's arm. "Is your stomach hurting because you haven't eaten anything?"
Lu Junyan's face was contorted in pain, and he was unable to answer her question.
"Wait for me, I'll go buy you some stomach medicine."
Jiang Ning turned to leave, but Lu Junyan grabbed her hand instead.
Lu Junyan's grip was very steady. Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan and found that Lu Junyan, who was in excruciating pain just a second ago, had now returned to normal, with a smile on his face, a smile that was even a little annoying.
"Now you should admit that you care about me, right?"
Realizing that he had been tricked by Lu Junyan, Jiang Ning flew into a rage and forcefully shook off Lu Junyan's hand.
"Lu Junyan, do you have nothing better to do?!"
"Who said that..." Lu Junyan glanced down at Xiaoman in his arms and smiled, "I'm busy taking care of the child!"
In the end, Lu Junyan obediently listened to Jiang Ning and ate his meal. However, since Xiaoman was sleepy, Lu Junyan only ordered a bowl of noodles and ate it as quickly as possible.
"let's go!"
Where to?
"go home."
Lu Junyan gave Jiang Ning a charming smile and took Xiaoman from Jiang Ning's hands.
Xiaoman wasn't asleep yet, but she was clearly listless.
A one-year-old baby is no longer as light as a newborn. Jiang Ning usually finds it a bit strenuous to hold him, but with Lu Junyan's help this time, it was much easier for her.
When they came out of the family restaurant, they looked like a happy family of three to onlookers.
Jiang Ning was about to get on the bus when she caught a glimpse of the alleyway out of the corner of her eye.
There were two tall men standing inside.
She could vaguely make out that the middle-aged woman from the Lin family who worked as a cleaner at the family restaurant was the one being blocked in the alley by the two men.
This scene looks exactly like loan sharks coming to collect debts.
If it were just that middle-aged woman alone, Jiang Ning wouldn't care at all.
But stuck in the alley with that middle-aged woman was a little girl.
The little girl looked like a primary school student, and it seemed she had been beaten; she had injuries on her face.
"If you don't pay me back, I'll sell her to a brothel."
Just as one of the men was about to pick up the little girl, someone suddenly kicked him hard from behind.
Immediately afterwards, clanging and banging sounds came from the alley, accompanied by various heart-wrenching screams.
After a while, Xiao Zhang came out from inside.
He wasn't wearing a suit jacket; his white shirt underneath was disheveled and stained with blood.
Jiang Ning, standing at the entrance of the alley, was dumbfounded.
This was the first time she had ever seen Xiao Zhang fight.
"turn out to be……"
Jiang Ning turned her head and looked at Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan was holding the sleeping Xiaoman, looking every bit like a stay-at-home dad.
"Is Xiao Zhang really that good at fighting?"
Lu Jun smiled without saying a word, as if to say: If Xiao Zhang wasn't good enough, I wouldn't have kept hiring him.
Jiang Ning originally intended to step forward and resolve the situation himself.
She knows a bit of martial arts, so scaring away two thugs shouldn't be a problem.
However, before she could make a move, Lu Junyan sensed her intention and stopped her.
Immediately afterwards, he gave Xiao Zhang a wink, and Xiao Zhang calmly walked into the alley.
What followed was anything but peaceful.
The two debt collectors were beaten so badly by Xiao Zhang that they ran away as far as they could.
The middle-aged woman inside, carrying her beaten daughter, walked out tremblingly. She wanted to thank Jiang Ning, but the moment she met his face, she screamed.
"A ghost! A ghost...there's a ghost..."
Jiang Ning was speechless at the other party's reaction, but it showed that the Lin family must have known about her death in a plane crash two years ago.
Before Jiang Ning could explain, the middle-aged woman grabbed her daughter and disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Ning pouted and looked at Lu Junyan helplessly, only to see Lu Junyan suppressing a laugh.
"Is it really that funny that I've become a female ghost?"
Jiang Ning angrily returned to his car.
Lu Junyan sat next to her, with Xiaoman sleeping soundly in his arms.
Perhaps because she was sleeping in her father's arms, she didn't wake up no matter how much noise was happening outside.
Although Xiao Zhang was covered in blood, he was not injured and continued to drive for Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan.
The car drove up to the ground floor of a luxury high-rise residential building in the city center.
