Jin Nian was feeling somewhat moved. She asked, “So, what do you think would be an appropriate thing for me to say?”
Qiao Ranran replied, “Ask whatever you want, after all, he’s your hubby.”
Jin Nian raised her head and looked at Lu An, who was not far away. He had consumed quite a bit of alcohol.
At this moment, he stood facing Lu Feng, one hand casually in his suit pocket, wearing a lazy smile. Compared to the Lu An in Jin Nian’s memories, he had shed his youthful appearance. Even in his state of inebriation, he seemed like a composed and outstanding businessman at ease in the world of wine and business.
Jin Nian’s thoughts were entangled with the enigmatic relationship between Lu An and Lin Yuan.
These conflicting thoughts continued to swirl in her mind, relentlessly tormenting Jin Nian’s nerves and driving her to frustration.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Jin Nian straightened up and briskly walked toward Lu An.
By now, Jin Nian had resolved herself. If his response aligned with her desires, everyone would be delighted. But if it didn’t, she was ready to cut through the confusion.
Jin Nian reached his side and firmly grasped his wrist.
Lu An’s gaze still held traces of confusion from the alcohol. He couldn’t fathom why Jin Nian was holding onto his wrist, but he heard her assertively say, “Come with me. I have something to ask you!”
A wall separated the corridor from the bustling banquet hall. While the wall isolated the commotion within the hall, the corridor grew eerily quiet.
This location was part of Lu An’s family’s holdings, known as the “Ten Thousand Harmony Garden”. As an upscale hotel, it featured several halls suitable for hosting themed weddings.
Jin Nian’s domineering demeanor continued as she pulled Lu An along effortlessly.
Even though Jin Nian’s aura and rapid pace made her seem like a launched cannonball, poised to collide with anyone in her path, she still maintained awareness, avoiding hotel staff such as waiters delivering dishes.
Lu An, who had been pulled in all directions by Jin Nian, finally arrived with her at a secluded and tranquil corner.
Adjacent to this corner lay the renowned private “Sky Garden” of the Ten Thousand Harmony Garden.
Jin Nian looked around and felt that the scenery around her was familiar, but she was still angry and couldn’t be bothered.
Throughout their journey, Lu An hadn’t uttered a word. Instead, he had allowed Jin Nian to hold his wrist obediently. He looked at Jin Nian with an amused expression.
He observed her long hair swaying with each step, her form draped in a delicate shawl.
Jin Nian held Lu An’s wrist with her left hand while her right hand secured the shawl. Lu An towered over Jin Nian, but despite her brisk pace, he could easily keep up.
Despite her efforts to keep the shawl in place, the haste of her walk caused it to slip off, exposing her fair and smooth shoulders to the air.
Because Jin Nian naturally had squared shoulders, there was no trace of excess flesh on them. Only graceful shoulder and neck contours adorned her, appearing straight and erect without an excessive display of strength, instead conveying a sense of vulnerability. She looked stunning in her gown, and even more so without it.
The attire she wore had spaghetti straps, but it was currently winter. Despite the indoor heating, there was still a hint of chill, prompting her to don a shawl that accentuated her femininity.
With a sudden thud, Jin Nian executed a kabe-don to Lu An.
Lu An’s expression was carefree as he lowered his head to inquire, “What’s this all about?”
Although Lu An was unsure why Jin Nian was upset, he was rather pleased with her domineering attitude.
Jin Nian took a deep breath and left no room for ambiguity as she asked, “What is your relationship with Lin Yuan?”
Lu An had already consumed half a catty of white wine, leaving his mind somewhat foggy. Yet, as he observed Jin Nian’s small and delicate shoulders, he began to grasp the essence of her question.
If he could take a bite of that shoulder, he mused, it would surely provide an exquisite texture. Lu An felt a desire to do just that.
Seeing Lu An’s silence, Jin Nian continued, “Lu An, 1 don’t appreciate you having ambiguous relations with other girls. If you have feelings for someone else, I won’t stand in your way. You can be with whomever you desire. I’m even prepared for a divorce.”
Ambiguous relations? Feelings for someone else? Divorce?
Those few words in her statement stirred Lu An, rendering his mind much clearer.
Although he had initially lowered his head, he now stood upright, drawing closer to Jin Nian.
Even the haziest of minds now seemed awake, with blood circulating vigorously throughout his limbs and body. He realized that Jin Nian appeared to be jealous.
Jin Nian gazed up at Lu An, refusing to take a step back, her expression resolute.
She had applied makeup and delicately affixed false eyelashes. Her eyelashes now resembled raven feathers, each blink akin to a star’s twinkle.
Lu An, who had obediently followed Jin Nian, wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. Simultaneously, he reached out, tucking her hair gently behind her ear, exposing her graceful cheek and necklines for all to see..
