Ning Jiang moved her gaze away and looked at Luo Hanshang."This lady has seen me on the news before and in the future, but I have never heard of this lady's name. I must introduce her."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman walked up to Ning Jiang and held out her hand, "Hello, Miss Ning. I'm Su Jin, Young Master Luo's secretary. I'm also a junior. Nice to meet you."
Ning Jiang shook hands with her naturally."Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Luo Hanshang sat down and said to the two, "Take a seat."
Ning Jiang directly sat beside Luo Hanshang.
Su Jin returned to her original position.
The waiter poured wine for the three of them.
Luo Hanshang said, "As for Cheng Yong, why hasn't he arrived yet? Doesn't he know that I hate waiting for others the most?"
"Cheng Yong won't come anymore, I told him not to make the electric light bulb, " Su Jin smiled, "I thought that it would only be you and us for di er. 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."
"Got it, Miss Ning. I don't know what you like to eat, but because I understand your senior's taste, I've already ordered some dishes before you guys came here." "Now let me add a few more dishes for you."
Ning Jiang looked at her and smiled amiably. She was showing off. Did she know Luo Hanshang?
"It's alright, my husband and I have similar tastes, so I don't need to order anymore. The three of us don't have to order too much. I don't like to waste it. However, I really admire you all. Being a secretary, you all seem to be more attentive. I think Cheng Yong knows my husband quite well too."
Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows and calmly raised his glass as he 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 cared about him and protected him.
"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, so wasn't Ning Jiang, who was beside them, very bored?
"During the break, let's not talk about work. Report to me tomorrow morning."
With that, he asked Ning Jiang, "What do you want to drink? 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 before raising her glass. She shook it a few times but didn't drink.
Sensing that Su Jin was looking at her, Ning Jiang met her gaze and nodded at her with a smile.
Su Jin also lightly pursed her lips, "Miss Ning, don't you drink?"
"I don't have any good feelings towards this thing."
"It's usually because people who have already suffered a loss in their wine that they hate alcohol. It seems like Miss Ning has some kind of story, I'm very curious."
Luo Hanshang said calmly, "You're too curious."
"Didn't you say that we weren't allowed to talk about work? Since you don't want to talk about work, then just chat casually. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for the three of us to stare at each other."
Ning Jiang shrugged."I only said that I don't have a good impression of alcohol, but 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 considered as nothing."
After she finished, she looked at Luo Hanshang with a smile: "The first time that my husband and I had drunk alcohol was because of our messy nature. From then on, I left a message to myself: If you can't drink, don't try to be brave. When my husband is here, a drink is fine. Anyway, he can protect me. However, if outsiders are present, it's best not to drink it."
Hearing Ning Jiang's words, Luo Hanshang smirked.
With a single shot and three slashes, she declared 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."So that's how it is. You're lucky enough to meet such an outstanding man after your first drunken mess. If you were to meet another man, it would be terrible."
Ning Jiang pursed her lips and smiled, then naturally put her hand on Luo Hanshang's.
"Isn't that so? The heavens have truly given me such a huge gift. This is probably fate."
Su Jin was silent as she took another sip of her wine.
Ning Jiang smiled."Secretary Su, drink less. Don't get drunk just because you haven't started eating."
"My alcohol capacity is quite good."
"I often walk by the river. What if my shoes get wet?"
Luo Hanshang actually enjoyed the look of Ning Jiang being jealous of him. It seems like he will have to bring her out a lot in the future to meet 'friends'.
As the dishes were served, Su Jin took the initiative to help Luo Hanshang.
When Luo Hanshang was about to eat, Ning Jiang brought his bowl to him. She gave him her bowl.
"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.
Su Jin was surprised to see Luo Hanshang not saying anything and only lowering his head to eat.
Was this still the Luo Hanshang she knew?
Ning Jiang was pointing fingers at him like that, but he wasn't angry at all?
Ning Jiang looked at her with a smile on her face."Secretary Su, why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your liking?"
"Nope." Su Jin lowered her head to eat her meal, but her heart was filled with doubts.
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 that be? She would never believe it. Senior must have a purpose in doing so, it must be so.
After di er, the three of them left the restaurant together.
Su Jin said, "Senior, can I have a few words with you in private?"
Without waiting for Luo Hanshang to say anything, Ning Jiang said, "I'll go to the car and wait for you."
She nodded to Su Jin and got into the car.
Luo Hanshang looked at Su Jin and said, "If it's not something important, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Su Jin looked at him with eyes full of 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: "Thank you. You should go back and rest early."
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, you want to talk about class with me?"
"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: "Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand."
He walked over to the car, opened the door, and got in.
She did not move until his car was out of sight.
Ning Jiang didn't take it seriously, but her senior?? Yet, this senior thought that it was true.
She had loved him for ten years and stayed with him for five years. She thought that if she endured Qiu Qinxin for a few more years, once he forgot 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.
When Ning Jiang saw Luo Hanshang get in the car, her expression didn't look too 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 back to what Su Jin had just said that she didn't have his words in her eyes, he felt displeased in his heart."It's none of your business."
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 pouted. If she didn't want to say it, then she wouldn't say it.
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 couldn't 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 walked in front and Luo Hanshang walked behind.
The two of them had originally been very close.
Ning Jiang took the shortcut and walked along the Nine Winding Corridor and the fake mountain in the backyard.
As she was walking, she suddenly felt that there were no more footsteps behind her. She turned around and found that Luo Hanshang did not follow 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 around the fake mountain to the opposite side of him, where she sat on a small pillar by the side of the corridor.
"Do you have something on your mind?"
Luo Hanshang raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at her unhappily: "You only noticed that I'm gone after you walked out 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 home, how could you lose it?"
Luo Hanshang put out his cigarette and frowned with a trace of displeasure in his heart: "The reason why you didn't notice I was gone was because you thought I was someone you could ignore. Ning Jiang, have you forgotten that I'm your husband? "
"I didn't forget." She calmly looked at him.
"After that, when you exit the door, hold my hand tightly. You call me husband when you need me, you call me air when you don't need me. This young noble is not someone you can casually treat.
He turned and walked away.
Ning Jiang scratched her forehead. This?? What was going on?
She still didn't understand. Why was he so angry?
