If she stayed here, An Ning would only feel more and more at peace. Lin City was only this big, and if she ran into Jiang Xiushan by chance, she would definitely break down. This kind of mental state was not good for children.

An Ning also understood what she was thinking, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her stomach. An Ning felt like she could even feel her child's heartbeat, maybe that was the connection between mother and son.

"Alright."

Two days later, An Ning and Jiang Xianhan set out for F Nation.

"Hello everyone, this is the tenth of April, the venue for the finals of the BFA International Design Competition. Now, our finals results are out, who will be the first? "Next, please announce the results."

BFA could be said to be the most anticipated designer competition in the world right now. Not to mention winning the award, every contestant who came to the competition was a top designer in the world, and this time there was even Paris Fashion Week's designer Li Yang, who was one of the two champions. Everyone thought that the championship was already in his hands, but who would have thought that a 'dark horse' would appear out of nowhere to compete with him.

As the host finished speaking, the old man in the middle of the judges stand up, open the envelope in his hand and begin reading the list of winners from the bottom to the top.

After the last three announcements, only the first two remained. Now, everyone and the viewers in front of their televisions had their hearts in their mouth.

"Second place, Li Yang!"

When the old man's voice rang out, the crowd burst into an uproar. Both of his hands pressed down to indicate for silence, and the old man continued with his announcement.

"First place, An Ning!"

Because they had already expected this to happen, the stadium was no longer as noisy as it was when they won the championship. Instead, it was quiet. After a few sparse claps, the entire venue was filled with thunderous applause.

Ever since she had arrived in F Nation three years ago, she had been living here, occasionally drawing and designing paintings for other people to earn money for her daily expenses. This time, she had even participated in the design competition with the encouragement of hope, but she did not expect that she would be able to fight her way out of the competition, which had greatly boosted her reputation. Even if she did not win the championship today, everyone knew that the BFA Competition had produced a "dark horse", and her future was definitely limitless.

Standing on the stage, looking at the dazzling lights in front of her, as well as the great designers who had been admiring her ever since she had entered this industry, she looked at herself with a kind smile.

He took the trophy and announced the winner. Everything was going according to normal procedures. However, just as An Ning was about to step down from the stage, the host suddenly stopped her.

A light lit up at the edge of the stage. An Ning followed the sound and looked over. Xu Wang was standing in the middle of the light, holding a bunch of flowers as he slowly walked over. He had a feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't want to face it.

"An Ning, congratulations on winning the championship."

An Ning smiled as she received the bouquet. However, Xu Wang suddenly knelt down on one knee and fished out a velvet box from her bosom. She opened it in front of An Ning, revealing a beautifully designed and unique diamond ring.

She was very grateful that Xu Wei had taken care of her all these years, but she had never thought of being together with Xu Wang. In fact, An Ning no longer thought about love anymore; she only hoped that she could do what she liked and raise her family every day.

An Ning didn't want her son to have any sort of relationship with that person, so she named him An Mutian. He was three years old this year and had just attended kindergarten. That was why An Ning had the time to participate in the design competition.

"An Ning, marry me. I will take good care of you, and love you as if you were my life."

Ear-piercing whistles and applause rang out from below the stage. There were even some people who didn't mind the fuss and shouted, "Marry him! Marry him! "

An Ning forced out a smile, her eyes flustered as she glanced at the restless audience stands. The words that came out of her mouth were very difficult.

"Sorry, I... "No, I'm not ready."

Hearing this, Xu Wang was a little disappointed, but he still maintained his good manners. Seeing this, the host hurriedly went up to save the situation and invited Li Yang out to discuss his opinion on the "rising from the grave".

Even so, the fact that the BFA Champion An Ning was proposed to on stage caused a huge uproar, both at home and abroad. After all, this was the first time the Chinese had won a championship, and something like this had happened.

Just as the country's live broadcast ended, the magazine had worked overtime and posted this matter in the most conspicuous part of the entertainment page. Weibo had also quickly entered the headlines, and even ordinary people who weren't too interested in the design industry had shown interest in this matter.

6: 30 AM

Jiang Family

After the nanny had prepared breakfast and put the latest edition of today's newspaper neatly on the side, Jiang Jia happened to dress neatly and go downstairs. She slowly walked over and sat down at the dining table.

Jiang Jia Han spread out the newspaper with one hand and quickly skimmed through the information on the screen. Usually, Jiang Jia would flip over the page with the other, but today, he was surprised to see a name on it that made him shocked.

"Miss An Ning, the BFA Champion, was proposed by her boyfriend when she won the championship. It could even be said that she was very pleased with herself …"

The spoon in his hand fell into the bowl of soup with a "dong" sound. The soup that was just a bit splattered all over Jiang Jia's expensive suit, but he didn't care in the slightest. His gaze was still fixated on the newspaper.

Jiang Chi clenched his fists tightly. It had been three years, he had been looking for An Ning for three years, but there was no news of her at all. It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth. He didn't expect to see her again under such circumstances.

The two people in the photo were a perfect couple. They looked like they had a tacit understanding of each other, but when Jiang Jia Han looked at their intimate looks, it was as if he was holding something down in his throat.

Three years ago, when she and An Ning had been together for more than half a month, Jiang Jia Han thought that everything could be repeated, that the two of them would get married again, and have a happy and happy family. However, he discovered that An Ning was already pregnant with a hopeful child.

She had already changed owners of the house she rented, and Jiang Jia Han was no longer as angry about An Ning's pregnancy. He just wanted to find An Ning and have her stay by his side, but Jiang Jia Han forgot that those were Xu Wang's children, and the two of them were the ones accompanying each other.

With a gloomy face, Jiang Xian turned around and left the restaurant, returning to the study room on the second floor with quick steps, and then he called out the entire video of the BFA design competition on the internet. Seeing that An Ning did not agree to the proposal, Jiang Jia Han breathed a sigh of relief, but the dejection and depression in his heart did not disappear, An Ning's rejection was not decisive, and one could even see some hints of hesitation, as if she was wavering between rejection and acceptance.

Jiang Jia, who was immersed in his rage, didn't realize that he had overlooked a very important matter. If An Ning's child was hoped for, how come they hadn't married for so many years?
