The moment "Lu Yan" saw Jiang Zhou sitting on the sofa, his eyes lit up.
"Jiang... Jiang Zhou, why are you here?"
Jiang Zhou looked up. He was just about to scold "Lu Yan" with an unhappy look on his face, but unexpectedly, the other man's eyes were full of excitement, as if he was really glad to see him.
Instantly, the words got stuck in his throat.
" Ning Anmiao" also looked over and saw "Lu Yan" standing at the door with shining eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Zhou.
Lu Yan frowned slightly, his eyes showing a look that was hard to read.
He could tell that Ning Anmiao was more delighted than surprised to see Jiang Zhou.
The little sparkle in her eyes was about to overflow.
It seemed that Miao Miao hadn't looked forward to his appearance like this for a long time.
"Mr. Lu, you're just in time."
One should not strike a smiling face. Although Jiang Zhou was resentful towards "Lu Yan" in his heart, the enthusiasm in the other man's eyebrows made him feel a bit reluctant.
"I'd like to have a private talk with you about Miao Miao." When mentioning Miao Miao, Jiang Zhou's face darkened again.
He hadn't forgotten that he came here today to stand up for his little friend.
Hearing this, "Lu Yan" was taken aback for a moment. There was no sign of unhappiness on his face. Instead, he even smiled and said, "Sure. Shall we talk in the room?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to be alone in a room, Lu Yan felt his throat tighten. He immediately said coldly, "No."
He would never allow Miao Miao to be alone with Jiang Zhou!
The two of them both looked at him, especially Jiang Zhou, whose face showed a look of confusion.
At this moment, was Miao Miao still going to protect Lu Yan?
"Just talk here. Let me listen too." "Ning Anmiao" gritted his teeth. He hadn't missed the excitement in Ning Anmiao's eyes just now.
Did this little guy still want to be alone with another man in front of him?
They weren't divorced yet!
"Lu Yan" frowned. She really couldn't understand what Lu Yan was up to. She had never seen him being so unreasonable before.
It was just a chat with Jiang Zhou. Was it really necessary? They were about to get divorced. Why should he still mind this?
As soon as the words were out, "Ning Anmiao" also realized his own impulsiveness. He pursed his lips, trying to find an excuse to explain. Just then, Lu's mother walked out slowly.
"Lu Yan, why are you back at this time?" Lu's mother deliberately glanced at the two people sitting on the sofa.
She cleared her throat and said in a sarcastic tone, "Miao Miao and Young Master Jiang have a really good relationship. They're just catching up."
Between the lines, she was implying that the status of "Lu Yan", the legitimate husband, was being challenged by a strange man.
But what she didn't know was that as soon as these words were out, "Lu Yan" almost burst out laughing. She could only hold it back.
Catching up?
The current "Ning Anmiao" was actually Lu Yan. Lu Yan and Jiang Zhou didn't know each other at all. What old times could they catch up on?
It was just that Lu's mother deliberately wanted to sow discord between her and Lu Yan.
Lu's mother's ugly face was almost transparent to her. She didn't feel much of a stir in her heart. She just found it funny.
"Yeah, it's a good thing." "Lu Yan" looked kind and nodded at Lu's mother, saying, "It's a good thing that Miao Miao can have friends."
Lu's mother: ?
She thought she had misheard.
His wife was getting so close to another powerful man, but he actually thought it was a good thing?
Lu's mother's pupils suddenly shrank for a second in shock.
"Lu Yan" took her eyes back from Lu's mother and then turned to look at the other two. She said with a smile, "Miao Miao is an adult. She should have her own social circle and life."
"Moreover, Young Master Jiang is gentle, kind and well - bred. I'm very relieved that Miao Miao has such a friend."
Hearing this, Lu's mother felt a tremor in her heart. She couldn't stay any longer. She mumbled a few polite words and then left.
On the way back to her own mansion, Lu's mother kept thinking: Was her son really stupid?
From the time when "Ning Anmiao" was almost raped at the last birthday party to this time when Jiang Zhou came to find "Ning Anmiao" openly, "Lu Yan" had always been very calm.
It seemed as if he was certain that "Ning Anmiao" would never do anything to let him down.
This was not right.
Jiang Zhou also felt that something was wrong.
He originally had a bellyful of anger to vent on "Lu Yan" and wanted to warn him to be nice to Miao Miao and not be ungrateful. Who would have thought that "Lu Yan" seemed to be quite sensible?
On the contrary, it was "Miao Miao"'s attitude towards him just now that was really heart - breaking.
Especially those dark and cold eyes. Just one look was enough to make one feel chilled to the bone!
Had she gotten married and even forgotten her elder brother?
...
Jiang Zhou didn't stay at home for long. This time he came not only to visit Miao Miao but also to place an order for a batch of goods in Shanghai.
After confirming that Miao Miao was okay, he felt much more relieved.
However, when he was leaving, the couple was also very strange. There was an indescribable feeling.
"Young Master Jiang, are we going back to the hotel?"
The assistant asked politely and noticed that his young master had been looking at something through the rear - view mirror.
At the gate of the Lu family, "Lu Yan" was waving goodbye to their car enthusiastically, while "Miao Miao" beside him was very cold, looking as if someone owed her a fortune.
"Yeah, go back to the hotel first."
Jiang Zhou turned back reluctantly, his heart full of complexity.
For some reason, during these several meetings with the couple, he always felt that "Lu Yan" was much easier to get along with than "Miao Miao".
"Miao Miao" seemed to have become a different person. She was really hard to approach.
"Miss Ning... has changed a lot." The assistant who had always been with Jiang Zhou also noticed something strange and couldn't help sighing, "She seems really hard to get along with."
Jiang Zhou couldn't agree more.
Originally, he thought it was marriage that made "Miao Miao" not like to get close to people. But thinking about "Lu Yan"'s various performances, he felt that he had misunderstood.
A woman's heart is really like a needle in the sea.
——
After seeing Jiang Zhou off, the two of them went back to their room. There was another moment of silence.
After all, they had had a conflict in the company. Ning Anmiao didn't know how to communicate with Lu Yan for a while. So she shifted her gaze first.
"I'll go to the study first." She mumbled something, grabbed her pajamas and walked into the bathroom.
Looking at Ning Anmiao's back, Lu Yan's eyes became deeper.
Jiang Zhou's appearance today had taught him another lesson.
After Ning Anmiao finished taking a shower, to avoid talking to Lu Yan, she quickly got into the study and didn't come out until later.
To be precise, it was because she smelled the fragrance.
She smelled the scent of crystal shrimp dumplings, which was her favorite dish.
Did the aunt come back from shopping?
She walked out of the study but didn't find the aunt at home. She only saw a figure moving near the dining table.
"Are you done?"
At the dining table, Lu Yan had just placed the plate of steamed crystal shrimp dumplings steadily. Hearing the movement behind him, he turned slightly and spoke in a gentle voice.
