Do You Want to Marry Me?

Chapter 5

The screams of the fans in front attracted Jin Nian’s attention.

“Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, you’re so beautiful!”

“I wish sister-in-law and Director Jiang happiness forever!”

“Director Jiang and sister-in-law are a perfect match!”

Jin Nian subconsciously looked over. Jiang Qingchi and Xu Tian had already walked out of the airport and were walking towards the nanny van. Perhaps it was because the sun was too bright outside, or perhaps it was because the flashes were non-stop, Jiang Qingchi took off his sunglasses and put them on Xu Tian. Everyone was shocked and envious. The staff around Jiang Qingchi did not explain Xu Tian’s identity. The fans kept calling her sister-in-law, and Jiang Qingchi did not deny it. The temperature of the central air-conditioner in the arrival hall was set very low, and the bone-piercing cold made Jin Nian shiver uncontrollably. She wanted to catch up to Jiang Qingchi, but she suddenly felt a wave of fatigue. She did not even have the strength to lift her feet, and her entire body felt weak.

Lu An reached out and snapped his fingers in front of Jin Nian, pulling her back from her troubled thoughts. His well-defined hand shook in front of her eyes, and the veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible. He was wearing a black sports watch on his wrist, and a red string that was worn to the point of being creepy was faintly visible on the strap. Seeing that Jin Nian was still staring blankly in the direction of the crowd, Lu An took two steps forward. His tall figure blocked her from seeing anything else. Jin Nian, who was forced to retract her gaze, looked at Lu An in a daze. They had not seen each other for a long time, and they rarely contacted each other during this period.

Even though they had many happy times: skipping classes, eating until their stomachs were bloated, and feeding stray dogs together. However, at this moment, there was an unfamiliar aura between them. Compared to his past self, Lu An’s eyes now had a deeper look that belonged to a man.

Jin Nian looked at the man in front of her with a clear outline and could not help but feel that fate was really kind to him. If Lu An was already eye-catching enough six years ago, the carving knife of these six years seemed to have polished his edges and corners, making him look even more perfect. Jin Nian put away the disappointment on her face and smiled politely at Lu An. There was nothing around Lu An. Those who did not know better would think that he was here for a walk at the airport. It was entirely possible for Young Master Lu to do such a ridiculous thing. He had never played by the rules. One year in high school, Lu An suddenly wanted to go scuba diving in Pattaya. Fifteen minutes after class, he pulled Jin Nian and went straight to the airport. The flight was as casual as taking a taxi. It was as if the two of them had gone to the park downstairs.

Just as Jin Nian was organizing her opening speech, Lu An looked at the jasmine flower in his hand with an extremely disgusted expression. “Thank you, but I don’t like the smell of jasmine. It’s awful.” Lu An’s lazy gaze swept across Jin Nian’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Buy me another bouquet next time. That’s your punishment.” He was exactly the same. In Jin Nian’s memory, he was still the arrogant Lu An who deserved a beating. The faint scent of orange lingered at the tip of Jin Nian’s nose. It was like an opened glass bottle of soda on a summer night. It was the smell of Lu An’s body. When she was in high school, she could barely reach Lu An’s shoulders. Six years had passed, and she clearly remembered that she had grown taller. Today, when she wore high heels, she only reached his chin. Jin Nian smiled and extended her fair hand to the other party. “Sure, you pay.”

Lu An clicked his tongue in wonder, “Jin Nian, you are simply too stingy.”

Jin Nian pretended to be relaxed. “You came back today? Why did not you contact us in advance?”

She wanted to retract her hand, but she did not expect Lu An to grab her wrist faster. The scorching temperature was like a flame that stuck to her cool skin and drilled into her nerves. It was so hot that Jin Nian froze on the spot.

Lu An took out an expensive-looking velvet bag from his pocket and placed it in Jin Nian’s palm before letting go. Jin Nian widened her eyes. “Is this a gift?”

“Yes.” Lu An’s smile became even more sarcastic. “You’re so welcoming even though I did not contact you in advance. If I really did contact you, would you be beating drums and gongs?”

Jin Nian lowered her head and looked at the velvet bag in her hand, “I came here for something else…” There was a hint of grievance in her voice. The scene just now kept replaying in her mind, as if someone had ruthlessly pulled her heart.

Lu An reached out and snatched the bag from Jin Nian’s hands, “Okay, then this is not a gift for you.”

Jin Nian could not help but laugh out loud. “Lu An, how old are you? Why are you still so childish?” At this moment, Jin Nian’s phone rang. Jiang Qingchi finally remembered her as his real girlfriend. She nodded slightly at Lu An, then turned around to answer the call.

Jiang Qingchi’s indifferent voice came from the microphone. “You came to pick me up?” He only saw her message after the nanny van had driven away for some distance.
