Do You Want to Marry Me?

Chapter 4

After hesitating for a while, Jin Nian clicked into their chat and slowly typed: “I came to the airport to pick you up, but I did not expect you to have so many fans. Where can I find you?” She clicked send, and the next second, the crowd suddenly became noisy. The fans standing in front were excited. “Look! That must be Director Jiang!” Jin Nian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the crowd’s voice and could only see a dark mass of heads.

But soon, Jin Nian saw Jiang Qingchi. Jiang Qingchi was 1.85 meters tall, and he was very eye-catching among the crowd of female fans. He walked out of the passageway with his bodyguards and assistants. He still wore the sunglasses that he had taken when he was registering. He walked with his head lowered, and the screams of his fans erupted wherever he passed. At this moment, Jin Nian was suddenly stunned. She did not know Jiang Qingchi like this. The sound of the shutter kept ringing in her ears, and the flashes were so bright that she could not open her eyes. She was squeezed in the crowd, like a fish in a crowded market. She was a little out of breath.

“Look! The one beside Director Jiang is his girlfriend, right?!”

“Is it the one wearing the white Marten boots? She looks so beautiful!”

“Ahhhhhh! Director Jiang just reached out and hugged that girl in his arms. It must be the sister-in-law we’ve never met!”

“I can’t take it anymore. It’s even better to see it in real life! It’s a hundred times better than Director Jiang’s anime!” The crowd surged, and Jin Nian was squeezed out of the crowd. She watched as Jiang Qingchi got further and further away from her. Perhaps it was because she was far away, but Jin Nian could clearly see the woman beside Jiang Qingchi. She was stunned, it was Jiang Qingchi’s first love, Xu Tian. She stood where she was, not knowing whether she should walk up or turn around to leave. She only felt that the scene in front of her was adjusted to 0.5 times slower, and it was filled with white noise.

A long time ago, Xu Tian dumped Jiang Qingchi without hesitation in order to study abroad. Jiang Qingchi was left alone to live like a walking corpse. Later on, Jin Nian bravely pursued her love, and the two of them naturally got together. Now that Xu Tian had returned from abroad and was standing beside Jiang Qingchi, the two of them would occasionally lower their heads and whisper to each other. Even Jin Nian felt that they were a good match. The fans who were waiting to pick her up were rubbing shoulders against each other. Jiang Qingchi reached out and wrapped Xu Tian in his arms to protect her. Anyone could see the affection between the two.

At this moment, the excited fans bumped into Jin Nian, and she felt a lump in her throat. She was a little clumsy in high heels, so she lost her balance and stumbled a few steps. Fortunately, there was a kind person behind her who held Jin Nian’s shoulder firmly, preventing her from making a fool of herself in front of everyone. That person used a lot of force and her shoulder hurt a little. Jin Nian turned her head and thanked the person beside her subconsciously. When she saw who it was, she froze on the spot. “Lu… Lu An?” Jin Nian never expected to meet her good friend Lu An at this time, whom she had been in contact for many years. Her mood was like a roller coaster, going up and down, and she felt dizzy.

How many years had it been since she last saw him? The year Lu An left was also the first year she had been together with Jiang Qingchi. It had been a full six years. Jin Nian was a little absent-minded and was shocked by Lu An’s sudden appearance. Lu An, who wore black all over, had his eyes high above his head, and was very cocky. Every strand of his hair had the words ‘condescending’ written on it. Even if Lu An had turned into ashes, Jin Nian could still find traces of golden light in the pile of ashes. That was proof that Young Master Lu had existed, and no one could ignore it. The last time they met was six years ago. He stood opposite Jin Nian with his back facing the scattered light. He exuded the aura of a rich second generation, but it seemed that he had not changed much from six years ago.

Lu An took off his sunglasses and lowered his head to look at her with raised eyebrows. His sharp gaze swept across her collarbone for a moment, and his voice was cold, “I haven’t seen you in six years. Jin Nian, you’ve become successful.”

Jin Nian noticed his gaze and hurriedly covered her collarbone, “I did not…”

Before she could finish, Lu An snatched the bouquet of jasmine from Jin Nian’s arms and waved it lazily, “You’re so thoughtful.” The memories were like a water valve that had been opened, gushing out crazily. They had grown up together. The arrogant, domineering, and eternally haughty Lu An overlapped with the man in front of Jin Nian. It made one dizzy.

Lu An had left six years ago. They had been good friends for many years, but he had not even said goodbye. Later, Jin Nian asked around and found that she was the only one in his circle of friends who did not know about this. The others had already known that he was going abroad. Just like now, when Lu An suddenly appeared in front of Jin Nian, he was still arrogant and silent. It seemed to be a coincidence, but it also seemed to have been arranged by the heavens.
