Chapter 394 Not Worthy of Your Trust
"What did you say?"
Jiang Ning couldn't understand Shen Feiyang's mutterings for a moment.
"Nothing, nothing... Let me check what flights are available first, and I'll buy tickets for whichever day I can!"
"no problem."
After Jiang Ning hung up the phone, she noticed that Lu Junyan was looking at her, his eyes like those of a hawk.
"What's wrong?"
Am I really that untrustworthy to you?
"……ha?"
Jiang Ning was stumped by Lu Junyan's question.
The bright lights in the living room clearly outlined Lu Junyan's handsome, angular face with light and shadow, making his already three-dimensional features even more prominent and highlighting his superior bone structure.
"I was the only one left to keep you company, but you had to call Shen Feiyang over again."
Lu Junyan's tone was full of resentment.
Jiang Ning was amused by Lu Junyan.
"You make it sound like you sent Xiaoman and the others away not to protect them, but just so you could have some alone time with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ning suddenly realized that at this moment, there really was only her and Lu Junyan in the house.
The next second, she saw Lu Junyan approaching her.
Jiang Ning was sitting on the sofa, while Lu Junyan was bent over, leaning forward with one hand on the sofa.
If this position were taken a step further, it would be as if Jiang Ning were being pinned down on the sofa.
"You've reminded me... We can enjoy some alone time before Shen Feiyang comes to cause trouble."
Lu Junyan, standing close by, wore a charming smile, his eyes shining like jewels.
Jiang Ning felt completely enveloped by Lu Junyan's hormones.
Her body temperature was gradually rising, and her heartbeat was involuntarily quickening.
"Are you trying to seduce me again?"
Jiang Ning tried his best to keep his voice steady when he opened his mouth.
She didn't want Lu Junyan to realize that she had indeed been seduced even a little bit.
This time, Lu Junyan did not admit it directly.
He just stared at Jiang Ning silently, making Jiang Ning feel uneasy all over.
As for Jiang Ning, she actually hoped that Lu Junyan could take further action, so that she could take the opportunity to push Lu Junyan away.
However, Lu Junyan remained motionless as if he had been struck by lightning, his two beautiful, jewel-like eyes filled with deep affection.
Jiang Ning felt very uncomfortable.
Because she was hot.
The intense heat emanating from within caused her body to unconsciously develop a thin layer of sweat.
"I'm going to turn on the air conditioner."
Jiang Ning made an excuse to push Lu Junyan away and stood up from the sofa.
"The temperature isn't high tonight, don't turn on the air conditioner and catch a cold. Go take a shower!"
Lu Junyan's suggestion was originally a good one for Jiangning.
However, at present, a man and a woman are alone in a room.
Lu Junyan could tell that Jiang Ning was wary and bothered by something, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, although I have ulterior motives towards you, I promise I won't act on them, okay?"
After Lu Junyan finished speaking, Jiang Ning's unease only intensified.
But she was covered in sweat and couldn't not take a shower.
In the end, after much hesitation, Jiang Ning went into the bathroom.
After she finished showering, she realized she had forgotten to bring her bathrobe.
The bathrobes and towels that were originally in the bathroom were washed and hung on the balcony to dry, and haven't been brought back yet.
Jiang Ning felt extremely embarrassed.
"Cough... Lu Junyan?"
She called out.
Outside the bathroom, Lu Junyan had just confirmed with Xiao Zhang whether Xiaoman and the others had safely entered the Lu family's old residence.
"Lu Junyan!"
This time, Lu Junyan finally heard Jiang Ning's shouts.
"What's wrong?"
He jumped up and strode to the bathroom door.
"Jiang Ning, what happened?"
"...N-nothing, it's just...cough, I forgot to bring my bathrobe in."
Hearing Jiang Ning's hesitant speech, Lu Junyan couldn't help but chuckle.
"I remember the bathrobe is hanging on the balcony, let me get it for you."
Inside the door, Jiang Ning listened to Lu Junyan's voice and felt as if Lu Junyan was mocking her.
Soon, there was a knock on the bathroom door; it was Lu Junyan returning.
Jiang Ning carefully opened the door a crack, and Lu Junyan's arm reached in, holding a dried bathrobe.
"Thanks……"
Jiang Ning took the bathrobe and thanked him, but noticed that Lu Junyan did not retract his arm.
"What do you think would happen if I opened the door wide right now?"
Lu Junyan's smiling voice drifted into Jiang Ning's ears, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but shout:
"rogue!"
A hearty laugh came from outside the door. Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan withdraw his arm and breathed a sigh of relief.
She put on her bathrobe and came out of the bathroom, where she saw Lu Junyan sitting on the sofa fiddling with his computer.
"Xiaoman and the others are currently at the Lu family's old residence. You can video chat with them."
"OK!"
A smile spread across Jiang Ning's face.
For some reason, the Lu family's old residence gave her a strong sense of security.
"Oh, right..."
Lu Junyan stood up. "I just looked into Shen Feiyang, and now I know why you called him here."
Jiang Ning shrugged and smiled, "I deliberately invited him to annoy you."
Lu Junyan didn't expose Jiang Ning, but instead walked towards the bathroom.
"Don't forget to take a bath towel."
Jiangning's reminder was very timely.
Lu Junyan turned his head and looked at Jiang Ning, a sly glint in his eyes.
"Forgot your towel? Perfect! I can just walk out without you peeking."
"Who wants to peek at you!"
Jiang Ning angrily went to the balcony, took down Lu Junyan's bath towel, and threw it at Lu Junyan.
She didn't understand how Lu Junyan had become like this.
"How shameless!"
After Lu Junyan entered the bathroom, Jiang Ning couldn't help but curse like this.
While Lu Junyan was taking a shower, she kept video chatting with Xiaoman.
She was initially worried that Xiaoman, who was only one year old, would not be able to see her mother every day and would be in a new environment, and would cry and fuss.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the video connected, Xiaoman's big smiling face appeared on the phone screen.
Xiao Zhang had given Lu Lifeng a detailed account of Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan's situation before the plane landed.
Upon learning that Jiang Ning was not dead, Lu Lifeng was as happy as an old man.
Xiao Zhang did not hide Xiao Man's origins. He made it very clear that she was Jiang Ning's child with someone else, not Lu Junyan's child.
But Lu Lifeng didn't mind. As soon as he saw Xiaoman, he hugged and kissed her like he was his own great-grandson.
Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao also live in the Lu family's old house. The two are now living under someone else's roof, but Lu Lifeng treats them like honored guests.
In the video, Jiang Ning saw everyone in the Lu family's old house surrounding Xiaoman, as if Xiaoman was their only master.
Jiang Ning was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Her attention was entirely focused on Xiaoman, and she didn't notice that Lu Junyan, who had just finished showering, had come to her side.
In the video, Xiaoman, holding snacks in one hand and a toy in the other, suddenly shouted:
"dad!"
