Chapter 440 What's the Misunderstanding?
Lu Junyan is the most suitable person for Jiangning.
Moreover, Jiang Ning's faked death this time also made Bai Yichen completely give up on Jiang Ning.
Gu Lanlan had to admit that Lu Junyan's devotion to a dead person had won her a lot of goodwill.
Furthermore, the person who worked seamlessly with Jiang Ning during the Joker's kidnapping of her, risking his life alongside her, was Lu Junyan.
"Ah Ning, as your best friend and confidante... I hope you can be happy..."
Although Gu Lanlan had been drinking, her gaze towards Jiang Ning was exceptionally clear and focused at this moment.
"Let me make this clear first, I'm not speaking up for Lu Junyan just because he saved my life!"
Seeing Gu Lanlan solemnly stacking her armor, Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh.
"I know you mean well."
“Yes, yes!” Gu Lanlan nodded repeatedly. “I really think Lu Junyan has changed for the better… mainly because he never loved anyone else! From beginning to end, he only loved you…”
“Lanlan…”
“I know Lu Junyan did some really awful things to you before, I’ve cursed him out countless times. And you also told me last time that Lu Junyan treated you roughly, causing you to lose your child…”
Even Gu Lanlan herself felt that Lu Junyan was truly unforgivable when she said these words.
"But, but..."
Seeing that Gu Lanlan hesitated to speak, Jiang Ning did not interrupt her again, but patiently waited for her to finish speaking.
Gu Lanlan hesitated for a long time before finally drinking the remaining half can of beer in one gulp.
"But I really think you should remarry Lu Junyan! You two have been through so much together, what obstacle can't you overcome... About your miscarriage back then, maybe... maybe there was some misunderstanding? Why don't you have a good talk with Lu Junyan!"
"..."
Silence fell over the living room once again.
Gu Lanlan carefully observed Jiang Ning's expression, wondering if Jiang Ning would be angry because she was meddling too much.
As a result, Jiang Ning's expression did not change much.
She silently took a sip of beer, and a slight, bitter smile appeared on her lips.
"Actually... my decision not to remarry him isn't because of the child we lost before..."
"Huh?"
Gu Lanlan opened her eyes wide.
"Losing that child was a huge blow to me, but... I shouldn't be unable to get over it after all this time..."
Jiang Ning spoke calmly.
She thought that she could feel relieved perhaps because she now had Xiaoman.
However, the thought of that child who had passed away still caused her a dull ache in her chest.
"Rather than saying that I don't want to remarry Lu Junyan because of that child... it's more accurate to say that losing that child made me... completely heartbroken about love."
“Ah Ning…”
"I'm not remarrying Lu Junyan because I don't want to pursue love anymore."
"..."
"In my life now... I have friends, a career, and a son... that's enough."
As Gu Lanlan listened to Jiang Ning's calm words, she saw the bitter smile on Jiang Ning's face gradually turn sweet.
Jiang Ning is truly satisfied.
Regarding my current situation.
Gu Lanlan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more.
However, he hesitated to speak.
That night, Jiang Ning slept at Gu Lanlan's house.
Perhaps it's because I've been so busy lately, both physically and mentally exhausted, that I haven't been able to relax.
Jiang Ning slept soundly last night, sleeping until noon.
"Lanlan, where did you put my clothes...?"
As soon as Jiang Ning stepped out of her bedroom, she saw Lu Junyan standing near the dining table.
Lu Junyan was wearing an apron with ruffles and was holding a plate of steaming food, which looked freshly cooked.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
Where is Lanlan?
"She went out on something. She said you two drank quite a bit last night and asked me to come and take care of you."
Jiang Ning understood after Lu Junyan said that.
It turned out that Gu Lanlan had invited Lu Junyan herself.
It seems that what she said to Gu Lanlan last night still failed to gain Gu Lanlan's understanding and approval, otherwise Gu Lanlan would not have used this method to further match her with Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning gave a wry smile.
She twitched her nose and smelled the aroma of chili peppers.
What did you do?
Jiang Ning asked curiously.
"Mala Tang (Spicy Hot Pot)".
Lu Junyan answered with considerable confidence.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you wanted to switch careers and become a chef!"
As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, Lu Junyan shook his head.
"No, I have no interest in cooking for others."
This statement is very much in line with Lu Junyan's style.
Jiang Ning got up late and is now starving.
She unconsciously moved closer to the dining table and saw that there was more than just spicy hot pot on it.
There's also shrimp congee, tomato stewed beef, and golden fried rice.
"You've made such a lavish breakfast!"
"It's already noon... We can't just eat spicy hot pot!"
Looking at the table full of nutritious food that Lu Junyan had prepared for him, Jiang Ning knew very well that Lu Junyan had not finished speaking.
Lu Junyan has no interest in cooking for others.
But she was an exception.
Jiang Ning clenched her fingertips slightly.
"You're making mala tang... are you trying to compete with the mala tang from that little shop yesterday to see which one tastes better?"
Jiang Ning asked as he pulled out a chair.
"no."
Lu Junyan shook his head.
"I only made this for you because I noticed you seemed to be craving something yesterday."
Jiang Ning looked surprised after hearing Lu Junyan's words.
She never expected that Lu Junyan would actually see through it.
Actually, she wasn't exactly hungry after yesterday's meal.
She hadn't had mala tang in a long time, and she was really craving it; one serving wasn't enough for her.
With an irresistible smile, Jiang Ning sat down, looking eager to try.
"Then let me try your mala tang!"
Are you sure you want to eat in front of me dressed like this?
Seeing the cunning look in Lu Junyan's eyes, Jiang Ning subconsciously glanced down at her pajamas.
"You're not wearing a bra, are you!"
Jiang Ning realized what was happening the moment Lu Junyan said those words.
The heat on his face spread all the way to his ears, and Jiang Ning practically jumped up from his seat and fled back to his bedroom in a flash.
Lu Junyan couldn't help but chuckle.
When Jiang Ning came out again, she was wearing underwear under her pajamas, but the blush on her face had not yet faded.
Jiang Ning felt very embarrassed by Lu Junyan's smiling gaze.
Although she and Lu Junyan were once husband and wife, they are no longer.
Moreover, she forgot to wear a bra, making it seem as if she was deliberately seducing Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning used the back of her hand to cool her burning cheeks, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Lu Junyan.
However, she still sat opposite Lu Junyan.
"Try it!"
"……good……"
The first thing Jiang Ning ate was the spicy hot pot made by Lu Junyan.
Seeing Jiang Ning's eyes widen instantly, Lu Junyan asked nervously:
"How does it taste...?"
Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan.
In her mind, Lu Junyan should never have eaten mala tang (a spicy hot pot dish).
Even if you've eaten it, the number of times should be so few that you could count them on one hand.
However……
The mala tang that Lu Junyan made for her actually tasted even better than the one from the restaurant that was widely considered the best mala tang yesterday.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but think that Lu Junyan was either truly gifted in cooking.
Or they put a lot of effort into adjusting the flavor.
Obviously, the latter is more likely.
This is a spicy hot pot dish specially made for her by Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning felt warmer inside as she ate.
Seeing Jiang Ning devour the spicy hot pot he had made in the blink of an eye, Lu Junyan asked softly:
Is it delicious?
"tasty."
"Well... could you come with me somewhere after we finish eating, just for the sake of the mala tang?"
Jiang Ning looked up and asked Lu Junyan directly, "Where?"
"Qingqiu Cemetery".
