Chapter 64 Flesh Meets Flesh
Jiang Ning silently watched Lu Junyan.
She was a little curious whether he thought of her as a mercenary woman with no skills.
Lu Junyan's expression was as calm as a still lake, making it impossible to tell whether he was angry because of her request to resign.
"After you leave your job, are you planning to go back to your sugar daddy's company?"
Jiang Ning was taken aback and asked in return:
"Who is my sugar daddy?"
Lu Junyan smiled silently, as if to say:
You know the truth in your heart.
In this way, Jiang Ning had no way to explain himself.
The room has a wide glass sliding door that leads to a private hot spring pool. The room is surrounded by bamboo partitions that provide excellent privacy.
Lu Junyan ripped off his tie, opened the sliding door, and the chirping of crickets outside immediately became clear.
"I want to soak in the hot springs, want to come along?"
"No, thank you."
Jiang Ning refused decisively and quickly, and Lu Junyan merely curled the corners of his lips indifferently, neither inviting her again nor forcing her.
Just then, Lu Junyan's phone, which was on the entryway cabinet, rang.
Jiang Ning, who was standing nearby, instinctively picked up her phone, intending to hand it to Lu Junyan.
She then saw that it was Chu Qingxue who had made a video call to Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan wasn't in a hurry. He changed into his swimming trunks first before taking the phone and casually video chatting with Chu Qingxue while soaking in the hot spring.
Jiang Ning also changed into her swimsuit, but she didn't go to the pool where Lu Junyan was swimming.
Staying in the room would only mean hearing Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue chatting on the phone, so it's better to be alone for a while; you might even get some inspiration for a new design.
Jiang Ning went outside.
It was late at night.
Passing through a bamboo grove, a large pond, hidden within, shimmered and appeared intermittently.
This pool was originally a public hot spring pool, but now the entire eastern district has been booked by the Lu family, so there is naturally no one else here.
Jiang Ning went into the pool, and soaking in the hot spring was very comfortable, relieving her physical and mental fatigue from the past few days.
However, Jiang Ning couldn't calm down.
Since her departure is a done deal, she should start planning for her next step.
Picking up her phone, she soaked in the hot spring while opening an angel investment group to look for suitable potential partners.
Gu Lanlan recommended this group to her.
She dropped out of university early and had few connections in her alumni circle, so she could only rely on Gu Lanlan.
After watching for a while, Jiang Ning felt a little dizzy, so he put his phone down.
She herself didn't know when she fainted.
As Jiang Ning vaguely regained her senses, she felt something pressing firmly against her chest.
It looks like a hand.
Moreover, her lips had a fleshy, fleshy feel, as if she were kissing someone.
Suddenly, Jiang Ning realized that someone was taking advantage of her.
He took the opportunity to touch her breasts and kiss her lips.
Snap!
Jiang Ning slapped the other person back, then sat up and saw that Lu Junyan, who was standing close by, had one side of his face burning red.
Lu Junyan looked at her coldly, a hint of displeasure on his face.
"You're dizzy in the pool."
He didn't explain anything unnecessary.
Jiang Ning then realized that Lu Junyan must have been performing artificial respiration and CPR on her.
However, she thought that Lu Junyan was taking advantage of her.
Jiang Ning blushed and whispered:
"sorry……"
"Why did you come all the way here to soak in the hot spring? If I hadn't happened to show up, you could have died in this remote place and no one would have found you."
Lu Junyan's words lacked warmth, leaving Jiang Ning unsure whether he truly cared about her.
"Because you were on the phone..."
Jiang Ning opened his mouth but then closed it again.
She didn't want Lu Junyan to misunderstand that she was jealous of Chu Qingxue.
As expected, Lu Junyan chuckled.
Jiang Ning opened his mouth, but felt that explaining would only make things worse.
She stood up, intending to leave, but her legs went weak, and she instinctively reached out to support Lu Junyan.
Her hand felt like it had been stung by a scorpion; she had just touched it when she immediately pulled it back.
Lu Junyan's gaze darkened, and the corners of his lips curled up coldly.
He picked Jiang Ning up, carried her back to the room, and let her lie down on the bed to rest. He also gave her a sports drink and a piece of chocolate.
Jiang Ning took the snacks from Lu Junyan's hands in a daze.
After three years of marriage, this seemed to be the first time Lu Junyan had so clearly shown his care and concern for her.
Whether it was because he had soaked in the hot spring for too long or for some other reason, Jiang Ning felt his body inexplicably warm up.
"Feeling better?" Lu Junyan asked.
Jiang Ning avoided Lu Junyan's gaze.
She felt that Lu Junyan's gaze towards her was unexpectedly gentle.
She wasn't used to it.
"Hmm, much better."
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, Lu Junyan picked up his phone and video-chatted with Chu Qingxue again.
In the video, Chu Qingxue asks, "Why did you suddenly hang up?"
Lu Junyan replied, "It's nothing, I just saved a stray cat that fell into the water."
As he spoke, he left the room without looking at Jiang Ning again.
Jiang Ning lay in bed, her body, which had just warmed up, grew cold again.
Lu Lifeng originally hoped that Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan could stay here for a few more days, actually wanting to create an opportunity for the two to cultivate their relationship.
He knew that Jiang Ning deeply loved Lu Junyan.
However, Jiang Ning insisted on leaving, and he couldn't force him to stay.
After leaving the hot spring resort, Jiang Ning went to the Lu Group to complete her resignation procedures.
The HR department is following the normal resignation process. The HR interview and financial settlement are all handled smoothly and won't take more than a few days.
However, Chu Qingxue required her to complete the handover of work by the end of the month.
Jiang Ning didn't understand why Chu Qingxue was trying to keep her. Wouldn't the sooner she resigned, the less entanglement she would have with Lu Junyan?
But on the other hand, she was now in the design department, unlike before when she was Lu Junyan's secretary. She didn't have much interaction with Lu Junyan in the company anyway, far less than Chu Qingxue.
Chu Qingxue probably wanted her to work a few more days so she could see Lu Junyan showing affection with her more often.
weekend.
The design department held a departmental gathering and threw a big party.
Jiang Ning had not officially resigned yet, but Chu Qingxue insisted that he participate.
I know the location for the party in Jiangning very well; it's Yunding Jade Pavilion.
Her former marital home with Lu Junyan.
The place where Chu Qingxue and Lu Junyan are currently living together.
After seeing Chu Qingxue post the address of Yunding Jade Pavilion in the department group, Jiang Ning finally understood why Chu Qingxue had been so attentive to her these past few days.
This party only included the design department; it was a perk that Lu Junyan gave out of respect for Chu Qingxue.
Jiang Ning didn't want to offend Chu Qingxue at this crucial moment of leaving her job, lest something unexpected happen and affect her resignation.
So, she arrived at the Cloud Top Jade Pavilion right on time.
"Everyone's waiting for you, come in!"
Chu Qingxue opened the door for her warmly, as if she were the lady of the house.
Jiang Ning sighed inwardly and forced himself to go inside.
The room was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
These are all pink roses that Chu Qingxue likes.
The curtains, sofa, tableware, and other items were all in pink, a color that Chu Qingxue liked.
Compared to my last visit, this place feels much more unfamiliar.
My colleagues in the design department are either playing games, singing, snacking, or scrolling through their phones.
There was no one waiting for her at all.
Jiang Ning wanted to find a quiet corner to be alone, but she almost bumped into someone.
The other person came out of the kitchen, carrying a freshly made fried pork tenderloin in their hand, and wearing an apron.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
