Do You Want to Marry Me?

Chapter 6

Jin Nian felt a lump in her throat and replied softly, “Yes.”

“Why did not you call me?” asked Jiang Qingchi.

“There were too many people. I could not squeeze in.”

Jiang Qingchi smiled helplessly. “Idiot. If you wanted to come, you should have told me in advance. There were too many fans just now. I did not have time to look at my phone.”

“I know.” Jin Nian pursed her lips. “You’re too busy.”

“Are you angry?” Jiang Qingchi chuckled. “I’ll get my assistant to take a taxi back to pick you up. I still have something to deal with now. I’ll kowtow to you tomorrow to apologize.”

“Don’t hang up yet.” Jin Nian stopped him. “Qingchi, the person who walked out of the airport with you just now, was that Xu Tian?”

The other end of the phone paused. “It’s her.”

Jin Nian frowned slightly. “That’s all? Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Jiang Qingchi was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, “Jin Nian, I thought you would not let your imagination run wild. We’re getting married soon, aren’t we?”

“I…” Jin Nian said.

Jiang Qingchi interrupted her. “I have to reply to an important message first. I’ll call you back when I’m done.”

Jin Nian cut him off. “Qingchi, I saw you hugging Xu Tian with my own eyes. As a man with a girlfriend, don’t you think there’s something wrong with what you did?” She did not like to beat around the bush, nor did she like to let her imagination run wild. She had always been straightforward.

“Then you should have seen the crowd at the airport pushing and shoving her, right?” Jiang Qingchi asked.

Jin Nian sounded a little agitated. “Did not you see that your girlfriend was almost knocked down by someone?”

Jiang Qingchi seemed to sigh on the other end of the phone, “Jin Nian, I can only tell you that I’ve never done anything to let you down. There are so many fans watching. Do you think it’s appropriate for me to watch her fall in front of me and remain indifferent? Let’s stop fooling around, okay? I’ll get my assistant to pick you up. Wait for her at the door.”

“No need!” Before Jin Nian could finish her sentence, the other party hung up. Her grievances turned into anger. What she hated the most was people hanging up on her before she could finish her words. Among all the people she knew over the years, only Jiang Qingchi did this every time. She planned to call back and ask for an explanation, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was better to forget about it. Why did she have to seek trouble? Jiang Qingchi was a proud and arrogant person. He was not the type to go back to his old ways. In the six years they had been together, he had never stopped having suitors, but no matter what the occasion was, he would always tell them that he had a girlfriend. Even when he had to put on a show during social gatherings, he never said a word to any woman. Therefore, even if Jin Nian saw it with her own eyes, she believed that Jiang Qingchi would not do anything to let her down.

It was often said on the internet that the sense of security in love came from one’s own strength. In their relationship, Jin Nian often felt insecure. She knew that she was not as capable as Jiang Qingchi. In the past, when Jiang Qingchi did not have much money, she felt that she could not enter his heart. Now that Jiang Qingchi had made some achievements and even proposed to her, she felt that she did not seem to be worthy of him. It was not that Jin Nian could not tell that Qiao Ranran had some opinions about Jiang Qingchi, but mainly because Jiang Qingchi had always focused on anime and animation and often neglected her. Jiang Qingchi was born in a small city and was the only boy of his generation. He always had a somewhat chauvinistic temperament. However, no one was perfect. She wanted her partner to stand out, but she also wanted him to be by her side every day. This requirement was really harsh.

The two of them were about to step into the wedding hall. Everything was arranged for tomorrow’s engagement party. Jin Nian calmed down and felt that she had thought too much. She firmly believed that the six years she had spent with Jiang Qingchi through thick and thin were comparable to his first love, who had abandoned her to study abroad. Jin Nian sighed. She stood there and stared blankly at the crowd in front of her. She saw a young boy running out in a hurry and carried the girl who was waiting outside. Even though there were so many people at the airport, he still hugged her and spun her around a few times. The two of them laughed heartily, and Jin Nian felt a little bitter.

She turned around and was about to leave when she bumped into a solid wall of flesh. Lu An wrapped his arms lazily and looked down at Jin Nian. When their eyes met, Jin Nian realized that he was still there. It was rude of her to leave him on the side while she was on the phone for so long. So, did Lu An hear the argument between her and Jiang Qingchi on the phone just now? So when she was in a daze just now, he stood behind her for so long without saying anything? What was he thinking? Was he laughing at her?

Lu An stared at Jin Nian in silence for a while. Then, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said emotionlessly, “Do you need a ride?”

Jin Nian was about to refuse when she saw a young lady running over, panting. “Sister Jin Nian! You must have waited for a long time!” It was Jiang Qingchi’s assistant, a top student at Binhai University, named Xin Hui. “Sister Jin Nian, Director Jiang sent me to pick you up.”

Xin Hui ran up to Jin Nian and subconsciously looked at Lu An, who had a strong presence beside her. Xin Hui’s gaze froze, then she asked Jin Nian, “Sister Jin Nian, is this your friend?”

Lu An did not have much of an expression on his face, but the wild and unruly aura on his body was revealed without any concealment. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with. He was still staring at Jin Nian from above. It was as if he could only see her in his bottomless eyes. After Xin Hui graduated and came to Jiang Qingchi’s studio, Jiang Qingchi was already a little famous. Therefore, she had seen many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry with Jiang Qingchi. However, when she saw the man in front of her, her eyes still lit up. She was sure that this man was definitely an outsider. To put it bluntly, celebrities and idols in the entertainment industry relied on popularity to make money. If they wanted popularity, they had to hide their edge and try their best to cater to everyone’s preferences. However, the person in front of her was different. The words “keep away” were written all over his body, and he did not seem to care about anyone’s gaze.
