Ning Jiang shifted his gaze and looked at Luo Hanshang: "This lady has never seen me before or in the news, but I have never heard of this lady's great name. I should at least introduce her."
Just as she finished speaking, the woman walked in front of Ning Jiang and extended her hand out: "Hello, Miss Ning. I'm Su Jin, the secretary and junior sister of Young Master Luo. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Ning Jiang naturally shook hands with her, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Luo Hanshang sat down and said to the two of them: "Take a seat."
Ning Jiang directly sat beside Luo Hanshang.
Su Jin returned to her previous position.
The waiter poured wine for the three of them.
Luo Hanshang said: "As for Cheng Yong, why is he not here yet, does he not know that I hate people the most?"
"Cheng Yong won't come, I told him not to be the third wheel," Su Jin laughed, "I originally thought that it would only be the two of us for tonight's dinner, sorry, it was my decision."
Electric Bulb...
Ning Jiang felt that those words were directed at her.
However, she was not angry because she was afraid that she had thought too much.
"Next time, don't act on your own initiative."
Miss Ning, I don't know what you like to eat, but it's because I understand senior's taste, so before you guys came here, I had already ordered some dishes.
Ning Jiang looked at her and smiled amiably. He was showing off to her, did she understand Luo Hanshang?
"It doesn't matter, my husband and I have similar tastes, there's no need to order anymore, the three of us can eat, there's no need to order too much, I don't like to waste it." As a secretary, I think everyone is more meticulous. I see that Cheng Yong has a pretty thorough understanding of my husband. "
Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows, calmly raised his wine cup and took a sip.
This woman, would she only call him husband when she was acting?
There were only three people here, so who was she putting on an act for? Su Jin?
It seemed like she didn't care about him at all. She even knew how to protect food.
"Alright, then I won't be joining for now. We'll talk about it later." Su Jin put down the menu and looked at Luo Hanshang.
"Senior, the dishes haven't arrived yet. Let me report to you about my work in Poland."
Luo Hanshang waved his hand. The two of them were talking about work, wasn't Ning Jiang, who was at the side, feeling bored?
"During the break, let's not talk about work. Report to me tomorrow morning."
After he finished speaking, he asked Ning Jiang: "You want to drink something, order it yourself."
Ning Jiang turned around and said to the waiter, "Give me a cup of corn juice."
"Sure, please wait a moment."
Su Jin glanced at Ning Jiang, and picked up his wine cup. He shook it a few times but didn't drink.
Sensing that Su Jin was looking at her, Ning Jiang received her gaze and nodded with a smile.
Su Jin lightly pursed her lips, "Miss Ning doesn't drink?"
"I don't have any good feelings towards this thing."
"Usually, it's because people who have already eaten wine before, that's why they have such a deep hatred for alcohol. It seems like the Miss Ning has some sort of story, I'm very curious."
Luo Hanshang said calmly: "You're being too curious."
"Didn't you say that you're not allowed to talk about work? Since you don't talk about work, then just chat casually. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for the three of them to stare at each other."
Ning Jiang shrugged his shoulders: "I only said that I don't have a good impression of alcohol, I didn't say that I hate alcohol. If Secretary Su really wants to hear a little story about alcohol, then it can't be that there isn't any."
After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Luo Hanshang: "The first time my husband and I had drunk alcohol, it was because of the chaos that happened. From then on, I will stay and remind myself, if you don't drink, don't try to be brave. However, if outsiders are present, it's best not to drink it. "
Hearing Ning Jiang's words, Luo Hanshang smiled.
With just one shot and three condors, he had announced his ownership, flaunted his love for her, and even told Su Jin that she was an outsider.
This woman was smart, her little brain worked really fast.
Su Jin looked at her, and forced out a smile, then said: "So that's how it is, you're truly lucky. To be able to meet such an outstanding man after your first drink, if you were to meet another man, it would truly be terrible."
Ning Jiang pursed his lips and smiled, naturally placing his hand on top of Luo Hanshang's.
"Isn't that so? The heavens have truly given me such a huge gift. This is probably fate."
Su Jin remained silent and took another drink of the wine.
Ning Jiang laughed: "Secretary Su, drink less, you should be drunk before you start eating."
"My alcohol capacity is quite good."
"I often walk by the river. What if my shoes get wet?"
Luo Hanshang was actually enjoying the sight of Ning Jiang getting jealous for him. It seems like he would have to bring her out to meet 'friends' often.
When the food was served, Su Jin took the initiative to help Luo Hanshang get food.
Just as Luo Hanshang was about to eat it, Ning Jiang took out his bowl and placed it in front of him.
"Hubby, it's really you. Since it's time to get off work, why do you need Secretary Su to help you carry the dishes? You should also let Secretary Su rest."
She turned to Secretary Su and said, "Secretary Su, didn't you call him senior? We are outside, so please don't be so reserved. You don't need to serve him, just eat more yourself."
She lowered her head and began to eat.
Seeing Luo Hanshang actually not saying anything and only lowering his head to eat, Su Jin was very surprised.
Was this still the Luo Hanshang she knew?
Ning Jiang pointed at him like that, but he didn't get angry at all?
Ning Jiang looked at her, his eyes filled with laughter: "Secretary Su, why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your liking?"
"Nope." Su Jin lowered his head as he ate, but there were some doubts in his heart.
Why did senior indulge this woman so much? He treated this woman differently than he treated others.
Did he fall in love with this woman?
Available... How could this be? She absolutely did not believe that this senior had some sort of motive, it must be.
After dinner, the three of them left the restaurant together.
Su Jin said: "Senior, can I have a few words with you alone?"
Without waiting for Luo Hanshang to say anything, Ning Jiang said: "I'll wait for you in the carriage."
She nodded towards Su Jin and turned to get on the carriage.
Luo Hanshang looked at Su Jin. "If it's not something important, let's talk tomorrow."
Su Jin looked at him with eyes filled with love. "I must speak of it today."
As she spoke, she took out a small box from her bag and handed it to him. "This is the gift I brought back for you."
Luo Hanshang bowed his head and accepted it. "Thanks.
He walked around her to the car.
Su Jin turned around and asked softly: "Are you serious about this marriage?"
He looked back, his face calm. "Is marriage still a joke?"
"Why her?"
"Why can't it be her?"
"She …" "It's not suitable for you."
Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows: What's wrong, you want to talk about the number one matter of the sect?
"Senior, she doesn't have you in her eyes. This is my intuition as a woman, I can't be wrong."
Luo Hanshang's eyes turned cold: "If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense."
He walked over to the car, opened the door, and got in.
Even when his car was out of sight, Su Jin still did not move.
Ning Jiang did not take it seriously, but senior … Yet, this senior thought that it was true.
She had loved him for ten years and accompanied him for five years. She had thought that after surviving Qiu Qinxin, as long as she endured a few more years, when he forgot about the past, she would definitely be able to obtain his heart.
But who would have thought … Her ten years of love couldn't even compare to the woman he had known for two months.
Why couldn't it be her? In what way could she be inferior to that Ning Jiang?
She was unwilling, truly unwilling.
Seeing Luo Hanshang getting on the carriage, Ning Jiang's face did not look good.
She tilted her head and looked at him seriously, "What's wrong with you? Did that Secretary Su of yours make you angry?"
Thinking about what Su Jin said just now, she did not have his words in her eyes, so he was unhappy: "Don't worry about it."
She pouted. "You're such a strange person. You're the one who asked me to be a third wheel. Why do you have to get angry at me now?"
"One more word." He stared at her.
Ning Jiang pursed his lips, he did not say anything else.
She turned her head and looked out the window, too lazy to acknowledge him.
The anger in Luo Hanshang's heart burned even hotter. Although he reminded himself that this marriage was originally loveless, he could not ask for too much from her.
But the thought of 'she doesn't have you in her eyes' made him want to explode on the spot.
It wasn't like him, he breathed, held back, had to hold on.
Returning to the Luo Garden, the two got off the car. Ning Jiang was walking in front and Luo Hanshang was following behind.
The two of them had originally been very close.
Ning Jiang took a shortcut through the Nine Winding Corridor and the fake mountain in the backyard.
As she was walking, she suddenly felt that there were no longer any footsteps behind her. As she turned around, she found that Luo Hanshang had not followed her.
He was standing on the Nine-Curved Corridor, looking down at the lake, smoking a cigarette.
Ning Jiang thought for a moment, then walked back from the fake mountain to the opposite side, where he sat on a small pillar by the side of the corridor.
"Do you have something on your mind?"
Luo Hanshang looked up, and rolled his eyes at her in displeasure. "I only noticed me gone after walking for such a long distance?"
She smiled. "I thought you followed."
"If it were the man you love, would you let him walk away from you like this?"
What kind of words were these? Why was she so confused?
Weren't the two of them discussing the same topic?
"This is my home, how could I lose it?"
Luo Hanshang extinguished the cigarette, a trace of displeasure coloring his brows: "The reason why you didn't notice that I was gone, wasn't it because you thought I was someone you could ignore? Ning Jiang, have you forgotten that I am your husband? "
"I didn't forget." She calmly looked at him.
"From now on, when you exit the door, hold my hand tightly. If you need not, call me husband. If not, treat me like air. I am not someone you can casually treat. Remember this."
He turned and walked away.
Ning Jiang scratched the center of his brows, this … What was going on?
She still didn't understand. Why was he so angry?
