Lu Yan always did things steadily, precisely and resolutely. He dealt with the online rumors about him and Ning Anmiao promptly and vigorously.
He directly released the surveillance video, then made public his marital relationship with Ning Anmiao. He also asked Lin Chuluo to confess that he had indeed confessed his love to "Ning Anmiao" that day, but was rejected by her.
Thanks to the support of the Jiang family, Lin Chuluo wasn't affected seriously. As for Jiang Qiwei, she was completely ruined. It was said that she had a complete falling - out with the Jiang family.
Now, she was in a situation where everyone condemned her.
This time, although the negative information came on strongly, it quickly disappeared.
With solid evidence and the power of Galaxy Capital, this farce hardly had any impact.
If there was any, it was the disclosure of his marriage to Miaomiao.
Ning Anmiao wasn't very satisfied with this decision.
She never liked to be in the limelight. Once it was made public, there were discussions about her everywhere on the Internet.
"No wonder Mr. Lu has never had any rumors in all these years. It turns out he's already married."
"Good men are like this. They take care of both their families and their careers. If it weren't for that clown Jiang Qiwei causing trouble this time, I wouldn't even know that Mr. Lu was already married."
"Who on earth is this Ning Anmiao? How did she make Mr. Lu willingly step into the tomb of marriage so early?"
"I heard she's an excellent designer, but she's very low - key and doesn't show up easily."
"Wow! They're really a perfect couple!"
"..."
Looking at the lively discussions on the Internet, Ning Anmiao rubbed her temples.
The commotion here was so big that people in Jiangcheng would probably get the news. Her father would probably be disappointed in her again.
"Upset?"
Lu Yan had just finished sending a message to his secretary and came out of the study. Seeing Ning Anmiao sitting dejectedly on the sofa, he asked.
"No, I just think it's so sudden."
They had been in a secret marriage for three years. She thought it would always stay that way, but unexpectedly, it was suddenly exposed. She was still a bit unaccustomed.
Unaccustomed to this feeling of being in the spotlight.
Seeing her unhappy face, Lu Yan thought she was still thinking about the divorce. He sneered twice and pressed his tongue against his back molar: "What, is it inconvenient to divorce now?"
"Huh?" Ning Anmiao hadn't thought about this just now. When Lu Yan said this, she also realized it and involuntarily said, "Will it be very troublesome for us to divorce now?"
"Yes." Lu Yan's face darkened scarily: "By then, everyone will know that you've abandoned Mr. Lu of Galaxy Capital."
Ning Anmiao:...
She twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling inexplicably speechless.
"You clearly agreed to the divorce."
"You proposed it." Lu Yan said calmly without changing his expression.
"But you had the divorce agreement ready at that time." Ning Anmiao felt a pang in her heart when she mentioned this.
The scenes of that time still lingered in her mind.
As if to remind her that everything now was just a temporary illusion.
Now, the tacit understanding and closeness between her and Lu Yan were only because their bodies had been swapped.
Once they swapped back, he would still be the former Lu Yan.
The Lu Yan who could control his emotions freely and always remained sober and calm.
She didn't dare to take the risk again.
"Miaomiao, I want a child now."
Lu Yan was silent for a while and then suddenly said, "I had too many concerns at that time, so I didn't want a child."
"I didn't know you had been compromising all the time. It's my problem, and I'll reflect on it."
"But now, I think we can try to have a child."
His tone was serious, obviously discussing this topic seriously.
This time, it was Ning Anmiao's turn to be silent.
"Miaomiao?" Seeing her in a daze, Lu Yan said again, "After we swap back our bodies, we can put the matter of having a child on the agenda."
"Why?" Ning Anmiao's voice was soft.
She thought it was very sudden.
Lu Yan answered slowly, "If we have a child, my mother will be more peaceful."
"Didn't you always want a child?" Lu Yan counter - questioned her.
Ning Anmiao silently clenched her hands.
It was the same sentence pattern.
Years ago, when she summoned up the courage to confess her love, Lu Yan's answer was -
"We can try to be together."
After so many years, he said the same thing again.
"We can try to have a child."
It seemed that in Lu Yan's eyes, whether it was marriage or having a child, they were just experiments to him.
Try?
She didn't want to try anymore.
"It's not necessary."
Ning Anmiao's voice turned cold: "You must be mistaken."
"From beginning to end, I never wanted a child."
Her answer stunned Lu Yan.
She... didn't want a child?
"Lu Yan, do you know how much harm it is to the mother's body to give birth to a child?"
Her tone was no different from usual, but Lu Yan could tell that she was angry.
"Miaomiao, I thought you wanted a child." Lu Yan calmly explained, "I will provide you and the child with the best production conditions and minimize the impact as much as possible."
"If you're afraid of pain, we can arrange painless childbirth; if you're worried about the recovery, I'll hire the best confinement center for you."
He thought of all the possible risks during childbirth in his mind: "I'll also look for the best obstetrician to ensure your safety."
He thought that would be enough.
But unexpectedly, Ning Anmiao sneered.
"Lu Yan, are you pitying me?" She scoffed, "Do you think I should thank you for looking so superior?"
"Thank you for creating such good conditions for me to give birth to an heir for your Lu family?"
Lu Yan pursed his lips tightly and looked at her puzzledly.
He didn't even know where Ning Anmiao's sudden anger came from.
"Miaomiao, you misunderstood."
He also lowered his voice and said calmly, "I'm just providing you and the child with the best material conditions within my ability. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Ning Anmiao looked at him silently.
"Lu Yan, don't you realize that our relationship is unequal?"
After saying this, Ning Anmiao turned around and went back to the bedroom.
For several days, Ning Anmiao's mood was not right. It was completely different from her previous tantrums.
This time, it seemed that she was really disappointed in Lu Yan.
Similarly, Lu Yan wasn't in a good mood either. He had been irritable for several days.
He didn't expect that his sincere attitude would be met with Ning Anmiao's cold - shouldering.
He had been too indulgent to her.
On the other hand, Ning Anmiao received a message from Yin Yiyan.
[Miaomiao, didn't you say you were going to divorce your husband? Why did I see that you've made your marriage public?]
[Not divorcing anymore?]
Ning Anmiao lowered her eyes. Thinking of Lu Yan's superior attitude that day, her eyes involuntarily turned red. She wiped away her tears and firmly sent a single word.
[Divorce.]
