Do You Want to Marry Me?

Chapter 18

Later on, Jin Nian signed up for the club. When she found out that Jiang Qingchi was in the animation club, she signed up without hesitation. Perhaps people would always have a strong mentality, so Jin Nian had always had a filter on Jiang Qingchi. Jin Nian was Jiang Qingchi’s first and most loyal fan, but what if everything she liked was stolen by Jiang Qingchi? Jin Nian did not dare to continue thinking. Who exactly did she like?

A sudden sneer pulled Jin Nian out of her thoughts and she looked in the direction of the voice. On the other side of the corridor, it was dim. Lu An had an unfinished cigarette in his hand. He leaned against the wall and narrowed his eyes to size her up. Jin Nian did not expect to meet Lu An here again. She did not know how long he had been standing on the other side of the corridor. However, judging from the fog and the pungent smell of smoke around him, it was very likely that he had heard every single word of her argument with Jiang Qingchi. Lu An was still wearing the same white shirt and black pants he had seen in the elevator just now. However, at this moment, the cuffs of his well-tailored shirt were casually rolled up to his elbow, revealing a large tattoo on his right hand, exuding an overbearing aura.

Jin Nian was embarrassed. She had never felt so embarrassed before. The choking smoke in the air was mixed with annoyance, and her face was filled with frustration. Facing her old friend, Jin Nian did not have a good expression. “Is it funny?”

Lu An frowned and said helplessly, “Why are you venting your anger on me again?”

“Did anyone tell you that you can’t eavesdrop when others are talking?”

“You’re scolding me in my territory. Don’t you have any reason?”

“You think it’s funny to see me make a fool of myself?”

“Who told you that I was laughing at you?” Lu An threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and walked towards Jin Nian. He looked down at her and smiled. “Are you a little mad dog wanting to bite anyone you see?”

Jin Nian knew that she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and did not argue with him. She really did not have the strength to argue with Lu An, and she could not be bothered to say anything else. All that was left was a heart full of grievances and tears in her eyes. The two of them had known each other for so many years, and Jin Nian was still not used to pretending in front of Lu An. They knew each other too well. Forget it, he could laugh if he wanted to. Jin Nian did not want to struggle anymore. It was too quiet here, there were no noisy guests. Beside them was the most famous sky garden of Wanhe Huayuan. Because this sky garden was private property, it was never open to the public.

Lu An looked down at Jin Nian lazily. The faint scent of orange lingered at the tip of her nose. The next second, he bent down and met her eyes. Suddenly, he reached out and flicked her forehead heavily. With a loud thud, Jin Nian was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes. She covered her forehead and said angrily, “Lu An, are you crazy?!”

Lu An was still as sloppy as ever. “Wake up, Jin Nian. Are you growing up with no brains? Keeping any guy you see?”

Jin Nian looked up at Lu An and saw the fragrant and brilliant garden behind him. The gray sky outside was exactly what Jin Nian was feeling.

Jin Nian’s mind was in a mess. She could not figure it out and had many concerns. Jiang Qingchi had personally admitted to the news of their marriage in front of the media. There were so many relatives and friends in the private room who did not know what was going on. She did not want to admit how bad her mood was now. On such a joyous day, others would receive blessings from their relatives and friends, but she was the only one being ridiculed here. Anyone could mock her at this time, but what right did Lu An have? “Are you okay?”

Lu An touched Jin Nian’s forehead as if he was stroking a puppy, “Don’t look so sad. I’ll let you flick a finger back, okay?”

Jin Nian was not as bored as he was. She had been rebellious since she was young, and she did not want to be looked down upon by her long-lost old friend. She sneered and said, “Lu An, can you not always act like you know everything? We haven’t seen each other in six years, and you still think you know me well?” She did not know that her voice was hoarse and that others could hear the grievance in it. Lu An’s gaze fell on Jin Nian’s face. The face that used to be in front of him seemed to be from the last century. He wanted to reach out and touch it to see if he was dreaming.

Jin Nian reacted quickly and slapped Lu An’s hand away. “Don’t touch me!” She got up and wanted to push Lu An away, but she felt a sharp pain in her heel and almost fell into his arms. Jin Nian gasped in pain and subconsciously grabbed Lu An’s arm. The man’s forearm was completely different from when he was young. There were more distinct muscles and lines.

She quickly steadied herself and let go of his hand. She frowned as she looked at the tattoo that had appeared out of nowhere. Most people still could not accept tattoos. It was a symbol of ruthlessness and indifference. Lu An had always looked like a person who did not want strangers to get close to him. With another tattoo on his arm, it would only make people even more afraid to get close.
