Chapter 239 Do you really not love me anymore?
Jiang Ning looked surprised when he saw this.
"How did this keychain end up with you?"
Lu Junyan handed her a keychain shaped like a little rabbit made of plastic beads.
"That's the question I should be asking you."
Jiang Ning paused, then scratched his head.
"So these keychains really are yours?"
"Um……"
Seeing Lu Junyan nod, Jiang Ning's eyes widened in surprise.
To be precise, she found these keychains.
Back then, in the Cloud Top Restaurant on the 126th floor of the Isabelle Tower in Country C, she inadvertently saw a pair of keychains on the table after Lu Junyan left.
It looks cheap no matter how you look at it, like something a junior high school student would buy.
Jiang Ning did not believe that the pair of keychains belonged to Lu Junyan.
But it just so happens to be placed on Lu Junyan's dining table.
Jiang Ning was curious, so he picked up the keychains and asked the waiter to ask all the customers in the store over the loudspeaker.
The restaurant atop the clouds was of extremely high standard, and as Jiang Ning had expected, no one in the restaurant claimed it.
So she hung the unclaimed keychains on her keys.
Although it wasn't anything valuable, Jiang Ning quite liked it.
"I thought they were lost!"
"It's lost... it was crushed under the container."
Upon hearing Lu Junyan's explanation, Jiang Ning's eyes widened.
"So... this is how you found me?"
"Um."
Lu Junyan nodded again.
Jiang Ning held the plastic beaded rabbit keychain in her hands, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
"I never expected... that it would be you who saved me."
Seeing that Jiang Ning had poured all her gratitude into this keychain, Lu Junyan cleared his throat:
"It's me."
Jiang Ning raised her eyes and looked at Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan frowned, his face showing displeasure at having his credit stolen.
"The person who saved you... was me."
"Yes, I know."
Jiang Ning lowered her eyes and gripped the small plastic rabbit keychain in her hand tightly.
She heard from many people that they had searched the construction site several times, but because the shipping containers blocked the concrete stairs of the abandoned power distribution room, everyone mistakenly thought that the row of containers was a dead end and they could not go any further.
More than one person advised Lu Junyan to give up.
But Lu Junyan continued searching the construction site despite the torrential rain, as if he wouldn't give up until he found her.
Without Lu Junyan's persistence...
If Lu Junyan hadn't recognized the dropped keychain...
She will not be saved.
A chill ran down Jiang Ning's spine.
The feeling of being trapped in the abandoned power distribution room, cold and suffocating, left her with lingering fear.
Jiang Ning raised her eyes and met Lu Junyan's gaze.
Lu Junyan was also looking at her.
Those eyes, as black as ink, seemed to be coated with a layer of pearlescent light, bright and deep.
Jiang Ning couldn't convince herself that Lu Junyan had no feelings for her whatsoever.
If there really isn't one...
Why did Lu Junyan risk his life to save her?
That's how it happened when someone who was laid off from Xinyue Real Estate stabbed her in the back.
This time is no different.
However, Jiang Ning had learned too many lessons. Blindly indulging in wishful thinking would only lead to her own injury in the end.
Seeing Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan gazing at each other with affection, Xiao Zhang quietly slipped into the adjacent care room.
However, the soundproofing in the caregiver's room was poor, and he and the caregiver could hear everything that was happening in the ward.
For example, just as Jiang Ning called out Lu Junyan's name, Lu Junyan's phone suddenly rang.
The first time, Lu Junyan hung up the phone.
However, the opponent attacked a second time.
Lu Junyan answered the phone this time.
"Junyan, something terrible has happened!"
The shouts coming from the receiver were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the passion that had just been ignited in Jiang Ning's heart.
"My mom was in a car accident. The police contacted me, Junyan. What will I do if anything happens to her?!"
Chu Qingxue sounded like she was about to cry on the phone.
Jiang Ning noticed Lu Junyan's displeasure, but still tried to comfort Chu Qingxue:
"Don't worry, I'll be right there."
Just as Xiao Zhang hung up the phone, he came out of the care room.
Before leaving, Lu Junyan said to Jiang Ning, "Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you again later."
Jiang Ning remained silent, the plastic beaded rabbit keychain digging painfully into her palm.
It seems she was just being delusional again.
No matter what, the person Lu Junyan cares about is still Chu Qingxue.
As night fell, Lu Junyan got into the car, and Xiao Zhang drove.
Jiang Ning never knew that the plastic beaded rabbit keychain had actually been crushed by the shipping container.
It was Lu Junyan who strung those broken plastic beads together one by one and wove them back into the original little rabbit shape by hand.
While driving, Xiao Zhang seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
He didn't know what Lu Junyan was thinking.
He wanted to ask, but from his position, he couldn't.
Xiao Zhang had never experienced first love, so he couldn't understand Lu Junyan either.
Is first love really that important?
It was late at night.
Jiang Ning was the only one in the ward. The caregiver was in the next room and was already asleep, snoring so loudly that Jiang Ning couldn't sleep.
Jiang Ning lay on the hospital bed, her phone screen constantly lit up.
Even now, Lu Junyan would still save her in a life-or-death situation...
But she thought that soon, Lu Junyan would only have hatred for her!
With Lu Junyan in charge at the police station and the other party's family receiving a huge sum of compensation, they stopped causing trouble for Fan Yali.
The car accident Chu Qingxue mentioned on the phone sounded more like Fan Yali had been hit by someone.
In reality, it was Fan Yali who hit someone with her car.
The other party was initially persistent, but the police handled the matter officially.
Chu Qingxue was just looking for an excuse to ask Lu Junyan for help, and this not only helped Fan Yali but also fulfilled her wish.
"Oh, Junyan, we really owe you a lot this time."
Fan Yali smiled broadly and pushed Chu Qingxue toward Lu Junyan.
"Qingxue, Junyan has helped us so much, you must thank him properly..."
Seeing Fan Yali wink at her, Chu Qingxue understood immediately.
"Junyan, I know a newly opened club. I'd like to invite you for a drink. Surely you won't refuse?"
Chu Qingxue asked in a sweet, cloying voice.
In the past, she wouldn't have needed to say that last sentence.
But now, she wasn't sure if Lu Junyan would agree, so she put some pressure on him, especially in front of her mother. She had already said all that, so Lu Junyan couldn't possibly refuse to give her any face at all.
Lu Junyan didn't remain silent for long before answering with a simple "Okay".
Chu Qingxue secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Lu Junyan drove, and Chu Qingxue sat in the passenger seat. The two arrived at the club.
Chu Qingxue had made up her mind—
She won't be coming home tonight.
I won't go back to my own home.
In the private room of the club, Chu Qingxue immediately ordered two sets of Aces of Spades.
Lu Junyan frowned slightly.
"Just the two of us... do we really need to drink this much?"
"I don't care whether you drink it or not, but I'm going to drink it."
Without saying a word, Chu Qingxue picked up a bottle of Ace of Spades and poured it into her mouth.
What are you doing?
Lu Junyan snatched the wine away, and saw that Chu Qingxue's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Junyan, do you really not love me anymore?"
