Chapter 196: A formal confession, and the boomerang finally pierced him!
Zhang Xiaomei naturally knew how much Xu Ruoying loved Shen Jingnian.
I also know their story.
Now that Shen Jingnian is willing to take the initiative to confess his feelings, Zhang Xiaomei is genuinely happy for Xu Ruoying.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruoying continued, "Not yet. Brother Jingnian is currently rehearsing his confession to me."
dress rehearsal?
Zhang Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
"Ruoying, are you mistaken? Do you think confessing your feelings requires a rehearsal?"
Could it be.
Was this all just a beautiful misunderstanding from beginning to end?!
Shen Jingnian wasn't actually going to confess his feelings to Xu Ruoying.
"Maybe it's because Brother Jingnian loves me so much," Xu Ruoying replied.
There's a Chinese idiom: "Concern leads to confusion."
Shen Jingnian's concern for her led him astray.
Surely it's not that Shen Jingnian and Jiang Ning are really together?
Xu Ruoying couldn't think of any other reason besides rehearsals.
Upon hearing Xu Ruoying's answer, Zhang Xiaomei burst out laughing. "I didn't expect Ninth Master to be so reserved. He clearly likes you so much and cares about you so much, but he used to pretend to be indifferent to you."
"If he hadn't suddenly decided to confess to you, I wouldn't believe that you two are in love! If the news of your relationship were to get out, it would definitely shock the entire elite circle!"
Xu Ruoying smiled beautifully. "Xiao Mei, I won't talk to you anymore. Brother Jingnian will come to see me as soon as he finishes his rehearsal."
"Okay, Ruoying, remember not to agree to Ninth Master's request so easily."
"understood."
Just as Zhang Xiaomei was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh right, Ruoying, after you and Ninth Master get together, remember to have Ninth Master treat us to a meal!"
Although Zhang Xiaomei is also a second-generation rich kid, they are not on the same level as Shen Jingnian.
Shen Jingnian is a big shot at the top of the pyramid.
They are simply blessed by their ancestors.
But things are different when Xu Ruoying and Shen Jingnian are together.
From then on, Shen Jingnian would become one with them.
As long as Shen Jingnian still wants to marry Xu Ruoying, he cannot ignore these people.
Xu Ruoying smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't need to ask me to eat."
Shen Jingnian not only had to treat her friends to dinner, but also had to please them.
after all.
Her friends are all Shen Jingnian's mother-in-law and father-in-law.
When Xu Ruoying thought about how Shen Jingnian had condescended to please her friends, she not only smiled slightly, but her eyes were also full of smugness.
Who would have thought that the aloof and ethereal Master Shen would have such a day?
--
Second floor of the restaurant.
Jiang Ning was already eating the last dessert.
She has a sweet tooth, so she ate her dessert a little slowly. After finishing the last bite, Jiang Ning looked up at the person opposite her and said, "Shen Jingnian, didn't you say you wanted to see me yesterday? You still haven't said what it is!"
I thought Shen Jingnian would talk while eating.
But they just chatted during their meals.
Not a single thing is of any importance.
Shen Jingnian put down his silver fork, picked up a silk scarf from the table, and said, "Wear this to cover your face. I'll take you somewhere first."
Why do you need to cover your face with a silk scarf when you're talking?
"So mysterious?" Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.
Shen Jingnian picked up the silk scarf and walked up to Jiang Ning. "Do you want to do it yourself, or should I help you?"
"I can do it myself." Jiang Ning took the scarf, neatly covered her eyes, and then tied a knot at the back of her head.
The scarf had excellent density and light-blocking properties. Even though it was only folded three times, it was as dark as night, and I couldn't see anything.
Shen Jingnian placed Jiang Ning's hand on his arm. "I'll take you there now. Don't be nervous."
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded.
She was very curious about where Shen Jingnian was going to take her.
Shen Jingnian led her through many twists and turns, walking for several minutes, but they still hadn't reached their destination.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask, "Shen Jingnian, you're not planning to take me to northern Myanmar, are you?"
Shen Jingnian chuckled, "Yes, are you scared?"
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. "If I can't save my kidneys, you can't save yours either."
after all.
In places like northern Myanmar, even the Bull Demon King would have to plow three acres of land a day.
Two more minutes passed.
Shen Jingnian then stopped. "Ningning, we're here."
"Can I take off the scarf now?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Yes."
Upon hearing Shen Jingnian's voice, Jiang Ning raised her hand to untie the knot behind her head.
Snapped.
The ribbon slipped off her cheek.
See the scene in front of you.
Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback.
Before me stretched a vast expanse of fiery red roses, blooming in the wind, their fragrance filling the air with every breath – a truly breathtaking sight!
When Jiang Ning first smelled this scent, she thought it was the scent of rose essential oil.
did not expect.
It came from the rose.
She was standing in the middle of the heart-shaped candles.
Then came the sound of elegant music.
It is an instrumental piece.
"Confession Night"
Soon, M, dressed in formal attire, led her team, playing the violin, and slowly walked towards them.
Jiang Ning was somewhat bewildered by what she saw.
Some were still too slow to react.
She turned to look at Shen Jingnian and asked, "What, what are you doing?"
Shen Jingnian stood opposite Jiang Ning and said, word by word, "Ms. Jiang Ning, as you can see, I am confessing my feelings to you."
confession?
Shen Jingnian's words, though spoken calmly, were like a boulder thrown into a deep pool, stirring up a stormy sea.
Jiang Ning was even more confused.
She frequently receives advances and confessions of love from various boys.
She's experienced this kind of scene many times, so she's naturally gotten used to it.
On her busiest day, she rejected ten people in a row.
Available today.
Her heart was beating a little fast.
I was still a little nervous and breathing rapidly.
This was a very unfamiliar and strange experience.
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes and met Shen Jingnian's gaze. His phoenix eyes were dark and deep, concealing danger, but she could easily meet his gaze.
A moment.
Jiang Ning then asked, "Did you know I'm divorced?"
Jiang Ning doesn't like to hide things.
They never thought divorce was a shameful thing.
"I know," Shen Jingnian was also very nervous. Although he had memorized his confession last night, he couldn't remember a single word. He had to improvise everything. "But what does this have to do with my confession?"
He likes Jiang Ning as a person.
Instead of the things around it.
Whether she has been divorced or how many ex-boyfriends she has is none of his business.
Shen Jingnian loves her as she is now!
"Then why do you like me?" Jiang Ning continued to ask.
Hearing this question, Shen Jingnian raised his eyes slightly, met Jiang Ning's gaze, and for the first time looked directly into his own heart. Since he had decided to confess, he would not hide anything. "Actually, I was attracted to you from the first time we met. Before, no one could resonate with me, but you are different."
"You are not only on the same wavelength as me, but you are even better than me in many ways."
"To be honest, I have never seen a girl like you before."
First meeting?
Upon hearing this keyword, Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. "I remember, we first met in the hospital elevator."
“No.” Shen Jingnian shook his head slightly and continued, “The elevator was the second time we met. The first time was that night.”
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.
That night, she wore such heavy makeup that even Yun Haotian didn't recognize her.
Jiang Ning always thought that Shen Jingnian hadn't recognized her either.
did not expect.
Shen Jingnian actually recognized him.
"You recognized me that night?" Jiang Ning asked.
Shen Jingnian nodded. "I am thirty-one years old this year. In the past thirty years, I have never been in love, nor have I ever had a white moonlight or a cinnabar mole. I don't believe in love. In my opinion, love is the most worthless thing. But after meeting you, I experienced the feeling of my heart pounding like a drum for the first time."
"I also deeply understand the saying of the ancients: 'Man has three thousand diseases of birth, aging, and old age, but only lovesickness is incurable.'"
"Jiang Ning, I am a person who loves money more than anything. In my life, the number in my bank account will always be number one. But from today onwards, I will love you more than anything."
Done.
Shen Jingnian directly took out a black card.
"This is my promise to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jingnian took out another document and placed it on the table in front of him, then said, "This is the gratuitous transfer agreement I prepared."
Shen Jingnian had heard many stories of people suing for money after breaking up.
To avoid any future worries, Shen Jingnian had his lawyer draft an agreement.
As he said.
He met the person in his life who was more important than money.
Finish this sentence.
Shen Jingnian then began to await the judgment of fate.
That feeling of tension and unease welled up in my heart again.
He awaited Jiang Ning's reply.
At the same time, she was afraid of Jiang Ning's answer.
This complex emotion was something Shen Jingnian had never experienced before.
Even when negotiating a single order worth tens of thousands of dollars, I don't experience these complex emotions.
next second.
Jiang Ning picked up the document, glanced at it, and then parted her red lips slightly to call his name: "Shen Jingnian".
“I’m here,” Shen Jingnian replied immediately.
Jiang Ning then asked, "I heard that you're against marriage?"
“Yes.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
This is no secret within the industry.
Some people even suspect that Shen Jingnian is gay.
If not.
How could a man who is not short of money and is in good health not be interested in women for many years?
Hear this.
Shen Jingnian was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that Jiang Ning had even heard about this.
That's right.
He used to be a person who refused to marry.
He has no interest in marriage.
He utterly disdains the so-called love.
He simply didn't believe in love that lasts until death!
But that was before.
It's different now.
He not only made financial guarantees to Jiang Ning, but also guaranteed her actions, provided she was willing.
As long as Jiang Ning nods, he can immediately announce his engagement to her!
You can even go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage certificate right away.
Just as Shen Jingnian was about to say something, Jiang Ning put the document back on the table and spoke again, "I have feelings for you, but before we establish a relationship, there are some things I need to make clear."
Do you have a good feeling about her?
Jiang Ning also has feelings for him!
It turns out he wasn't just wishful thinking!
Upon hearing these words, Shen Jingnian was extremely excited, even though Jiang Ning hadn't finished speaking.
But Shen Jingnian had already guessed what she was going to say next.
In a relationship, what girls care about most is a sense of security.
Any relationship that doesn't aim for marriage is just playing around.
and so.
The answer is obvious.
Jiang Ning wants him to change his previous idea of not getting married!
"I agree, Ningning, I agree to all your requests!" Shen Jingnian nodded.
Jiang Ning looked at Shen Jingnian and continued, "Then listen carefully to what I have to say."
"Ok."
Jiang Ning met Shen Jingnian's gaze, her clear peach blossom eyes calm and undisturbed. She then spoke, "Actually, I'm also a staunch non-marriage advocate. I've already experienced a boring marriage once, so I have no plans to remarry. To avoid trouble, if we're together, let's not go public, and we shouldn't tell our relatives and friends either way, so it won't be too awkward if we don't end up getting married later."
Jiang Ning was not joking when she said this.
Instead, they were very serious.
Because she was a staunch non-marriage advocate, she never dated in her past life.
and so.
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Shen Jingnian was a staunch advocate of remaining single.
Since both of them are against marriage, it will save them a lot of unnecessary trouble.
She won't feel any guilt or pressure.
Shen Jingnian was completely stunned.
? ? ? ?
what? !
Jiang Ning is actually a staunch advocate of remaining single!
Was he hallucinating?
Shen Jingnian never imagined that the boomerang would one day pierce his own body!
