Luo Hanshang picked up the pastry that fell beside his plate and wrapped it with a tissue calmly.
"This little mosquito must really like the sweetness of the mango. It actually ran onto the cake."It seems like the hygiene level of this hotel needs to be improved."
When he said that, the other four people on the table assumed that Luo Hanshang saw the mosquitoes, which was why he knocked away the pastries in Ning Jiang's hands.
But only Ning Jiang knew why.
She never thought that even after five years, he would still remember??
Remember she was allergic to mangoes.
The assistant at the side saw this. She picked up another piece of cake and placed it on her plate."Sister Ning, go ahead and eat this."
Luo Hanshang frowned.
Ning Jiang smiled at her and stood up."No, I just smelled that this cake tastes like mango. I'm allergic to mango."
The assistant quickly took back the cake, "Sorry, sorry. I didn't even know."
Ning Jiang smiled, "It's alright. Eat more."
She stood up."I need to go to the bathroom."
Outside the dining room, she went to the bathroom and washed her hands.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she exhaled. She felt a little sour in her heart.
She had thought that after leaving Luo Hanshang, it would have no effect on her life.
But it was only until she came to the Hai City alone that she realized it. She took the habit too simply.
After the past few months, she was used to having Luo Hanshang by her side. Suddenly, she arrived at a city without him, but she didn't know what to do.
She would think of him while she ate.
She would think of him when she slept.
Even when she was having a baby, she screamed out 'Zhuo Yijun' in pain.
She thought there was no one in the world who could not live alone.
However, during that time, she was like a terminally ill patient every day.
She could not eat or sleep at night.
She even wanted to go and see a therapist, but... She was afraid to hear the result the doctor had told her she didn't want to hear.
She always thought she was cool.
However, until one day, she began to worry about gains and losses, only then did she finally understand, a cool person, was because there was nothing to worry about in their hearts.
She seemed to have gone mad, searching for news regarding him and the Luo Family that could be heard within the North City.
She knew that after she had left, he had been very calm and had not sought her out.
She also knew that a month later, Qiu Qinxin was discharged and returned to Luo Garden.
Two months later, he began to accompany Qiu Qinxin to the hospital to recuperate.
Half a year later, Qiu Qinxin's relationship with him had become the focus of the media's attention.
"..."
Slowly, she began to force herself to put it down.
Fortunately, at this moment, Chuchen came into her life.
Because of Chuchen's existence, everything had changed.
She began to try to forget about the marriage that didn't belong to her, and about the man who didn't.
She thought she had succeeded.
However, it was only in the dead of night that she understood how difficult it was to erase a memory.
She rubbed her forehead and walked out of the bathroom.
The moment she stepped out of the door, she was shocked by Luo Hanshang, who was leaning on the wall outside the door.
Just when she wanted to say something, Luo Hanshang grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the toolshed opposite.
It was dark inside.
Ning Jiang struggled for a bit, but Luo Hanshang pressed her against the wall, preventing her from moving.
"Luo Hanshang, let go of me."
He squeezed her chin and kissed her.
"Ugh??" Ning Jiang turned her head to the left and right, struggling to get rid of his hand after a long while, "What are you trying to do? We're divorced."
"Really?" With his other hand he began to tug at her clothes.
Ning Jiang said anxiously, "Luo Hanshang, please behave yourself. I'm not your wife anymore, you can't treat me like this."
Luo Hanshang's lips were next to her ear.
"Self-respect? Back then, when you drugged me, you didn't say that you had to act with dignity. At that time, you weren't my wife either."
In the darkness, Ning Jiang's eyes were stinging."At that time, you didn't tell me that you already had a beloved woman. If you had, I wouldn't have plotted against you."
"At that time, I had Mo Lan, you know very well. However, you still have no bottom line."Ning Jiang, don't use your excuse to hide your selfishness."
Ning Jiang bit her lips as she felt fear in her heart.
Luo Hanshang lowered his head and kissed her again.
This familiar kiss was what he had been thinking about day and night.
Ning Jiang was almost choked by his kiss.
The assistant's voice suddenly rang out from the washroom across the street.
"Sister Ning, Sister Ning?"
Ning Jiang held her breath and pushed Luo Hanshang's shoulders.
The assistant walked around the washroom, muttering, "Strange, where did Sister Ning go?"
She walked away.
In the toolshed, Ning Jiang breathed heavily. She tried her best to calm down before she said, "Let's talk. We're not here. Can we go out and talk?"
Luo Hanshang released her.
She hastily arranged her clothes.
Luo Hanshang took out a room card from his pocket and pressed it into her hand.
"Come to my room in an hour. If you don't show up, you have to bear the consequences."
He opened the door and went out.
Ning Jiang put on her clothes in the tool room and rubbed her forehead before pushing open the door and leaving the room.
When she returned to the table, the assistant was alone.
The assistant hurriedly said, "Sister Ning, where did you go? I've been looking for you."
Ning Jiang smiled."I went outside to take a breath of fresh air. What about them?"
"They're all gone. Director Luo said that he's going back to rest, and those people went to send him off."
Ning Jiang sat down."Then eat."
"Sister Ning, let's go out for a walk after di er." I heard that there's a light show in the Hai City's night market these few days."
Ning Jiang shook her head. I'm not going. I'm going out to do something. Go back to the hotel as soon as possible, you're just a girl, don't stay outside for too long."
"Where are you going? Do you need me to accompany you?" "Compared to us two, you are even more unsafe because you look beautiful. My face is my protective umbrella."
Ning Jiang pursed her lips."Can we have any confidence in ourselves?"
"In front of you."No matter how confident you are, you will be reduced to dust in an instant. We were all talking about it in the office and were unwilling to stand with you."
Ning Jiang shook her head and didn't continue speaking.
After di er, she accompanied the assistant downstairs, helped her call a taxi, and let her go back to the hotel first.
She paced around the hotel for a while, then took the room card Luo Hanshang gave her and went upstairs.
She knew that Luo Hanshang meant what he said.
She didn't want to gamble with him.
She knocked on the door of the presidential suite on the top floor.
There was no response from inside the door.
She had just put the key card in the lock.
The door opened.
Luo Hanshang had already showered and put on a white nightgown.
He raised an eyebrow at her, grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and closed the door.
