Jiang Yuning knew that the other party felt injustice for her second brother. Therefore, she did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Therefore, before they left the hospital ward, she said these two words to the other party, “Thank you.”
Thanks for what?
After graduating from university, Lu Jingzhi enlisted into the army without any hesitation at all. He was obviously trying to escape everything in his life. At that time, he must have already reached his limit. Jiang Yuning felt that it must have been very enlightening for Lu Jingzhi to have someone like Leng Xiaohan to accompany him and stay by his side during that time.
Leng Xiaohan’s existence made him less lonely.
That was the reason why Jiang Yuning wanted to thank him.
Leng Xiaohan paused for a moment and after a moment of silence, it seemed as though the three of them finally understood each other’s intentions.
“Moreover, I would suggest that you watch less of the entertainment channels. Everything that they are reporting are all fake. You should trust your heart and not your eyes or ears.”
At this time, Leng Xiaohan finally understood why Lu Jingzhi loved Jiang Yuning.
Even though he did not want to admit it, she was still the woman that his bro loved. Therefore, it was impossible for her to have a bad personality and character.
…
After visiting Leng Xiaohan, Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi went home immediately. After entering the Royal Dragon Villa, Jiang Yuning suddenly made a suggestion, “Second Brother, why don’t we take a walk by the beach? It has already been a long time since we last did that.”
Lu Jingzhi ran his fingers through her hair before he smiled and nodded. “Anything you want.”
At this time, Lu Jingzhi dismissed his driver and Secretary Ho before the both of them walked along the beach hand-in-hand. Since it was already very late at night, there was no one else on the beach at this moment.
“Second Brother…” Jiang Yuning suddenly shouted.
“Yes?”
“Since you are the king of jealousy, don’t you mind the news or scandals at all?” Jiang Yuning suddenly asked. “Actually…isn’t it troublesome for you to explain the situation every time someone asks you about it? For instance…Third Uncle Lu, Sister Jingshu and even Grandpa…”
One of the waves suddenly hit them and their ankles were soaked in water at this time. Lu Jingzhi hugged Jiang Yuning in his arm before he replied, “I am the king of jealousy. So, do you think I wouldn’t mind it at all?”
“So, you mind it?”
“I just find it a pity that I did not venture into the entertainment industry or any business related to the entertainment circle at all. That is why I can’t protect you from whatever you are going through right now. But I have absolute trust in you.”
“You did not believe me when we first got together,” Jiang Yuning started complaining.
“Well, I admit that I was scared before I understood how you felt for me. You have such a strong personality and you are really unpredictable at times. Therefore, I didn’t know whether you will hate me or dislike me if I treated you in a certain way. It was only after I finally understood your feelings for me that I felt a little more relieved and secure because you gave me peace and security.”
“So…” After that, Lu Jingzhi stopped in his tracks as he turned around to face the little descendant. He held her by the shoulders before he said in a serious manner, “I can’t stop myself from feeling jealous because it eats me at times but I am not afraid because you always act faster than me. You are always looking for opportunities to assure and comfort me just so that you can give me a sense of security. That is the reason why I do not mind all that news or scandals because I know that none of it is true.”
“As for what others think about you, it does not matter to me at all because sooner or later, they will know you for who you really are.”
“I want to make our relationship known to the public during the charity dinner. Second Brother, do you have time to show up at the dinner?” Jiang Yuning suddenly asked.
“I might not have time to…”
“If that is the case…”
“But I can pick you up after the dinner,” Lu Jingzhi added when he saw the look of disappointment on Jiang Yuning’s face.
“You are teasing me.”
“Grandpa called me earlier to ask about our progress…”
“Then, can we still make our relationship public? Will he be so shocked that he will come back to Luo City immediately?” Jiang Yuning asked. At this time, she suddenly thought of her agreement with the old man. She had forgotten about it completely.
“I will settle this matter. Don’t worry about it, okay?” Lu Jingzhi replied as he laughed. “And…”
“And what?” Jiang Yuning asked as she was a little worried.
“I know about the agreement that you made with Grandpa.”
Jiang Yuning was taken aback and she was silent for a few seconds before she said, “So, you knew about it but you did not do anything when I was so poor? Ahh!”
“Didn’t I feed you often?” Lu Jingzhi replied as he smiled.
The couple would never be affected by the public because they cherished and loved each other too much…
After discussing the matter with Lu Jingzhi, Jiang Yuning quickly told Vera about it. As soon as Lu Jingzhi makes his appearance at the entrance of the charity dinner, rumors would start circulating online immediately. Therefore, Jiang Yuning wanted Vera to prepare an official press release statement in advance.
“Since you have already made your decision, then I will definitely support it.”
Fortunately for Jiang Yuning, thanks to Gu Pingsheng’s thoughtfulness, her contract did not restrict her or prevent her from entering a relationship or getting married.
Empress Jiang had always treated her fans the same way. She had always loved and cherished all of the Ginger Candies because she knew that they really loved and cared for her.
Since she would be making her relationship with Lu Jingzhi public soon, Jiang Yuning was also much happier at work recently.
Therefore, after being photographed by the media, they released more rumors about her once again.
Jiang Yuning’s relationship with Gu Hanwei is going smoothly, and that is the reason why she is so happy again.
Jiang Yuning: “???”
[The media is really incredible. There is nothing that they cannot come up with. Jiang Yuning and Gu Hanwei have never seen one another before. How can their relationship be progressing smoothly?]
[The picture below consists of the itinerary of both Jiang Yuning and Gu Hanwei for the past month. As a summary, I can state clearly that there is no relations or connections between the both of them at all!]
[Why is our Empress Jiang so unlucky lately? Why is everyone trying to matchmake her with that film emperor when she is clearly not into him at all? Is it really okay to create a hype like this?]
[I feel that Guangying Media should stop Empress Jiang from participating in the charity dinner event. I am afraid that Empress Jiang will be bullied again.]
[Exactly! When that time comes I am certain that rumors will fly all over the place again.]
[Please be kind to our idol, okay?]
The Ginger Candies were abused every day because all of these media and marketing accounts would spread and shared all these exaggerated rumors and news that almost sounded convincing. Besides that, there were also rumors that Jiang Yuning had already accepted the role of the first female lead in <Desperate Line of Defense> because the film emperor, Gu Hanwei had managed to coax her into it. Moreover, there were rumors that Jiang Yuning and Gu Hanwei were going to make their relationship known to the public soon.
The media was so convincing and the Ginger Candies almost believed that the rumors were true.
However, the Ginger Candies had full trust in Jiang Yuning.
If Jiang Yuning said she had nothing to do with Gu Hanwei, then she would not have any relationship with him at all.
However, some of the passers-by subconsciously felt that Jiang Yuning was not the kind of person who would just remain silent when she was seriously wronged. They knew that it was not easy to deal with public relations when it involved romance or a relationship. However, they were certain that Jiang Yuning was still holding back because she had a big move planned ahead.
[I don’t think that the film emperor, Gu Hanwei will be able to keep Jiang Yuning grounded anyway…he is still a thousand miles away from being capable of doing that…]
[Yes, that’s what I think too! How should I put it? Jiang Yuning is a very all-rounded and comprehensive artiste. She is proficient in almost everything. She can play the piano, chess, she is well-versed in calligraphy and painting. Moreover, Jiang Yuning has a very positive mindset and she would always be fighting for female equality and rights. Therefore, I think that it is completely impossible for Gu Hanwei to tie Jiang Yuning down so easily. I do not believe in any of the rumors that the media are spreading. Jiang Yuning’s character is as clear as it could be and there is no gray area here.]
