After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning was stunned: "My boyfriend?"

But it seems she didn't introduce Ji Chiqian to her classmates.

Chen Guoguo nodded: "When we went back to school after dinner last night, a very handsome man said he was your boyfriend, but we had never met him before, so we didn't let him take you away."

"Then how did you determine that he's my boyfriend?"

"I guessed it. Some classmates saw that man standing next to the car when they left the school gate this morning. He's very handsome, and they recognized him at a glance."

Chen Guoguo handed over her phone: "These are photos they took secretly. Take a look and see if it's your boyfriend?"

Lu Ning glanced at the photo and immediately recognized it as Ji Chiqian.

Her expression was somewhat unnatural: "He really waited outside the school all night?"

“He was wearing yesterday’s clothes, so it’s obvious he didn’t go home all night. He even followed you all the way back to your dorm last night.”

After hearing this, Lu Ning remained silent for a moment.

"It's normal for young couples to argue. Give him a chance to explain."

Although Chen Guoguo had never been in a relationship, she felt they should have a good talk.

Lu Ning gave a self-deprecating look: "Many things can't be solved by explanation."

She hadn't figured out how to face Ji Chiqian, or his true identity.

"So what did he do to make you angry?"

"I only recently discovered that he lied to me."

Lu Ning said in a disdainful tone, "I haven't been paying attention to him because I haven't figured out how to handle this matter yet."

"So, are you going to forgive him, or break up with him?"

Suddenly, her new roommate, Chen Yu, spoke up as well.

Lu Ning looked over in surprise, since Chen Yu usually didn't have much interaction with them.

Chen Yu's expression was somewhat unnatural: "I also discovered that my fiancé seems to be lying to me."

Lu Ning's brow twitched. Was Chen Yu talking about Lu Dongyou?

Chen Guoguo quickly pressed, "Chen Yu, did your fiancé lie to you too? Did they both cheat on you?"

Lu Ning and Chen Yu both fell silent.

When Lu Ning thought about Ji Chiqian and Mo Shiyi's affair, strictly speaking, she was the 'other woman'.

Lu Ning looked at Chen Yu: "Do you know your fiancé well?"

"Actually, I'm not very familiar with him. It was arranged by my family. As you know, I'm disabled. Although my family is well-off, boys with similar circumstances wouldn't choose someone like me."

Chen Yu seemed to have been holding back for a long time before she continued, "I've never had any friends growing up. They're only friends with me because of my family's arrangements, let alone boyfriends."

Lu Ning frowned: "Then do you like your fiancé?"

"I don't know if it counts as liking him, but he's very good to me. After all, someone like me can't ask for anything else; if I told others, people would just laugh at me."

Chen Yu's words carried a sense of inferiority.

Lu Ning never expected that Chen Yu and Lu Dongyou would get along like this.

Most of what happened at the last press conference was said by Chen Yu, and she thought Chen Yu and Lu Dongyou had a good relationship.

Chen Guoguo couldn't stand it anymore: "Chen Yu, you don't need to be so insecure. I heard you have excellent grades in journalism and are very capable. You don't have to get married at all. If this man doesn't treat you well, just find another one."

Chen Yu lowered her head: "But this was arranged by my family. They said that if I find a good man to marry, my life will be settled for the rest of my days."

“You’re being manipulated by your family. This isn’t ancient times anymore. As long as you have a job and can earn money, you can live a good life.”

Chen Guoguo spoke with righteous indignation, wishing she could drive all the inferiority complex from Chen Yu's mind.

Lu Ning finally couldn't help but speak up: "Trust your own intuition. If you feel uncomfortable in this relationship, then you have to make a choice."

Chen Yu looked at her: "And what about yourself?"

Lu Ning fell silent for a long time before answering, "It's the same. After all, it's not like I can't live without a man. Even if we break up, I'm still me."

Chen Guoguo nodded: "That's right, it's almost noon, let's go eat together."

Lu Ning got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out.

But Chen Yu suddenly spoke up: "Can I go eat with you guys?"

Lu Ning had no objection. She glanced at Chen Guoguo, and both of them nodded.

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, took her cane, and went downstairs with them.

Lu Ning looked at Chen Guoguo and said, "Why don't we go to the school cafeteria? It's closer."

The main problem is that Chen Yu has difficulty walking, and if she walks too far, she might feel uncomfortable.

The three of them went to the small canteen for a meal.

Chen Guoguo glanced at the school gate: "That car is still there."

Lu Ning followed Chen Guoguo's gaze and immediately recognized Ji Chiqian's car. She hadn't expected him to still be waiting outside the school.

At this moment, Lu Ning took out her phone and found several messages from Ji Chiqian, all asking if she was awake and wanting to invite her to have lunch at Liyuan.

Lu Ning glanced at the message and replied, "I'm awake. I have classes at school today, so I won't go."

The phone rang as soon as she sent the message.

Chen Guoguo said, "Why don't we take the call and make things clear?"

Lu Ning walked into the corridor and answered the phone. A deep, husky voice came from the other end: "Are you feeling unwell now? The hangover soup from Liyuan is very effective. I'll bring it over to you later."

"No need for that, I'm fine now."

Lu Ning's tone was somewhat distant.

Ji Chiqian rubbed his temples: "Lu Ning, I had something to do last night so I didn't reply to your message in time. I will definitely tell you in advance next time."

Lu Ning stood in the corridor, looking at the cars parked at the school gate.

Her eyes were a little red: "I understand, but I've been quite busy lately. Let's talk again when I'm done."

Lu Ning really hasn't figured out how to face him yet.

She needs a few days to calm down.

In truth, wasn't she also running away?

Ji Chiqian breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Okay, I also have something to tell you then."

Grandma is still in the hospital.

He wanted to take Lu Ning to meet his grandmother, but before that, he had to reveal his true identity to Lu Ning.

But who would have thought that at this time, he and Lu Ning would have a falling out.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Chiqian couldn't help but roll down the car window and light a cigarette.

He wasn't addicted to cigarettes; he only smoked when he was very agitated, like right now. He couldn't do anything about Lu Ning.

These past few days, all I've been trying to do is appease her, so that Lu Ning won't get even angrier after she finds out his identity.

Lu Ning hung up the phone. She watched the car leave from the school gate, and felt a void in her heart.

She turned back to the dining table, eating somewhat absentmindedly.

Chen Guoguo asked, "Has he left?"

Lu Ning was a little annoyed: "They've already left. Let's talk about it again after we've calmed down for a couple of days."

Chen Guoguo looked at Chen Yu: "Lu Ning and her husband are in a good relationship because they are free to choose, but you need to be careful about your fiancé. He might try to take advantage of you."

Chen Yu hesitated: "I also looked into my fiancé's family situation. He has a younger sister whom he dotes on, but she's not his biological sister. His family has helped him with raising her several times."

A look of surprise appeared in Lu Ning's eyes. Was she talking about Qin Xiang?

Sure enough, the Chen family wasn't stupid; they couldn't possibly be completely unaware of everything.

But why did Chen Yu suddenly say so much in front of her? What was he trying to test?

Chen Guoguo slammed her hand on the table angrily: "Another adopted sister? Can't you find a good one?"

Chen Yu's gaze became much more complicated. When Chen Guoguo went to the restroom, she looked at Lu Ning and asked, "So what's your opinion?"

“Miss Chen, if you want to know the relationship between my elder brother and Qin Xiang, there’s no need to beat around the bush.”

After Lu Ning finished speaking, Chen Yu's expression changed instantly.

I never expected that Lu Ning would find out.
