"What do you think you're doing to my wife!"
Lin Chuluo's outstretched hand suddenly froze. When he looked up, he met a pair of dark and piercing eyes.
---
At the hospital.
Lu Yan regained consciousness and woke up with a splitting headache. The glaring lights in the ward made him squint involuntarily, followed by an even sharper pain in his head.
He instinctively reached up to touch it and felt the bandage instead.
Even though he was extremely tolerant, he couldn't help but mutter a swear word under his breath.
"Be civilized," Ning Anmiao coughed lightly from the side. "You're a girl. Act more gracefully and watch your influence."
Lu Yan: ...
He was a grown - up man. What did he need grace for?
He turned his head slightly and looked at Ning Anmiao sitting on the nursing chair beside him. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Did you save me?"
"Otherwise? Do you expect Lin Chuluo to suddenly have a conscience and send you to the hospital?"
Ning Anmiao was annoyed just looking at Lu Yan. She was about to mock him when she saw the tightly - wrapped bandage on his forehead. The words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
The injured are to be prioritized, she kept hyping herself up in her mind.
She had just asked the doctor. The wound on his head was small and shallow, and it wouldn't leave a scar.
But looking at his bandaged head, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Hearing this, Lu Yan recalled what had happened before he lost consciousness. There was irritation between his eyebrows, and his pupils were cold. "Where is he?"
Just thinking about Lin Chuluo's despicable motives towards Miaomiao made him want to punch his face and break his legs!
Seeing that Lu Yan was full of hostility as soon as he woke up, Ning Anmiao pursed her lips and said gently, "He's been sent to the police station. But at this time, someone should have bailed him out."
Although she was unhappy, it was reasonable.
It was just a case of causing trouble on purpose, and the suspect had a mental illness. Just based on this, it was impossible to send the boss of Yanyun Group to prison.
"But this incident seems to have caused quite a stir. Many people captured the footage of Lin Chuluo losing control mentally. I'm afraid the stocks of Yanyun will plummet."
When saying this, there was a hint of pity in Ning Anmiao's eyes.
"I heard that Yanyun has been trying to transform into the fashion design industry recently. It seems that's not going to work."
Hearing the regret in her words, Lu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes full of meaning. "What, are you feeling bad?"
"Yeah, it's such a pity."
Ning Anmiao didn't catch his sarcasm and continued to mutter to herself, "A company like Yanyun, which is well - funded and originally in the film and television industry, if it allocates some energy to transform into fashion design and supplies this production line to film and television artists, it can achieve the goal of self - production and self - sales while also launching a new clothing brand. It's simply killing two birds with one stone."
Hearing her analyze so eloquently, Lu Yan rarely hooked the corner of his lips. "You've learned a lot recently."
Ning Anmiao gave him a sidelong glance but didn't take his compliment. Instead, she brought the topic back to the fact that Lu Yan had gone to Yanyun without telling her. "Mr. Lu has also improved a lot. Have you gotten so used to the identity of Ning Anmiao that you've started to meet men privately as a woman?"
"Twice, no less."
Ning Anmiao accused him subtly. One was the previous date and the other was this time.
Each time, something bad happened.
Thinking of this, Ning Anmiao got even angrier. Her tone suddenly became serious. "The agreement signed with Yanyun. Is there a clause that allows you to be alone with Lin Chuluo? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Yan looked at Ning Anmiao.
He saw the anxiety, anger, and a hint of almost imperceptible worry in her eyes.
Originally, his expression was very casual, but when he noticed the worry in Ning Anmiao's eyes for him, he slightly curved his lips.
His Miaomiao cared about him.
"I didn't want you to make a difficult choice," he said calmly, just stating a fact. "Given your previous relationship with Lin Chuluo, it would be more difficult for you to handle this relationship."
"But I'm different. I can stay sober and rational, and it's easier for me to make a rational choice."
Lu Yan was good at controlling his emotions. On the face that now belonged to Ning Anmiao, there was a unique air of nonchalance and leisure that only Lu Yan had, as well as the confidence that everything was under control.
Ning Anmiao frowned and was about to say something when she heard that he did it for her. Her breath hitched.
"But even so, I don't want anything to happen to you," Ning Anmiao said in a very low voice, but Lu Yan still heard it.
"What did you say?" Lu Yan deliberately asked again, pretending not to hear.
Ning Anmiao lowered her head, and her ears turned red. When she looked up, she noticed the corner of Lu Yan's hooked lips. Realizing that the other was deliberately teasing her, she got angry and deliberately turned her head to the other side.
"I said Lin Chuluo was still too lenient," Ning Anmiao said stubbornly.
"If he had been harsher, it would still be your head that got hurt."
"And it would still be you who suffered," Ning Anmiao retorted.
"You'll feel bad," Lu Yan said confidently.
"I won't," Ning Anmiao said firmly.
"Yes, you will."
Ning Anmiao: ...
Just as the two were bickering, there was a loud knock on the ward door, and then someone pushed it open.
When they saw who it was, they glanced at each other.
"Ning Anmiao! I need to have a good talk with you!"
Lin Xixi stormed in. It was obvious that she was here to find "Ning Anmiao".
But when she saw "Lu Yan" standing beside her, she stared at him for a few seconds. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she looked at the two of them with a sneering look in her eyes.
"Ning Anmiao, you're already married to Mr. Lu. Why are you still so shamelessly trying to seduce my fiancé?"
Hearing the word "seduce", the two people in the room frowned in unison.
"Miss Jiang, you have no evidence. I won't allow you to slander my wife like this," "Lu Yan" spoke up first, his tone very cold.
"Slander?" Jiang Xixi sneered. "I presume this is the famous Mr. Lu. Do you not believe what I'm saying?"
"Lu Yan" darkened his face and said seriously, "I know my wife better than anyone else. Her character doesn't need others to prove."
What a joke. Ning Anmiao had never seduced anyone, let alone Lin Chuluo. She wasn't going to take this slanderous blame!
Jiang Xixi thought that "Lu Yan" was still kept in the dark. She couldn't help but shake her head and click her tongue. Her tone was sharp and mean. "Mr. Lu, although you're very talented and capable in the business world, you're clearly a long way off when it comes to distinguishing women."
Jiang Xixi raised her hand and pointed at "Ning Anmiao" lying on the bed. Her voice was sharp and loud. "Not long ago, she seduced my fiancé and took the initiative to ask for a date. And today, she deliberately flirted with my fiancé in the alley!"
