Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 386 Extra Chapter 47 Confession
When Lu Tingting returned to the classroom, Wu Meixia and Song Ke immediately noticed the ginkgo leaf brooch on her collar.

"Tingting, your brooch is so pretty, when did you buy it?"

"This is gold, isn't it? It must be very expensive."

The generous praise and amazement from her friends undoubtedly boosted Lu Tingting's good mood to another level.

When An Hui returned home from school in the afternoon, she immediately noticed the exquisite and beautiful brooch.

"Your brooch is quite exquisite. Where did you get it?"

"A gift from a friend."

Which friend?

"I only have one friend, and you wouldn't know him even if I told you."

Lu Tingting tried to brush it off, but Jiang Moli lazily picked up the conversation: "What friend gave it to you? This is clearly my brooch. Why didn't you say anything before wearing my brooch? Never mind, I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you. Just remember to return it to me after you're done wearing it."

Lu Tingting was absolutely furious at Jiang Moli's shamelessness. "What do you mean, 'your brooch'? This was a gift from her for our anniversary!"

Jiang Moli smiled teasingly: "So it was a gift from Principal Zhou. Principal Zhou is quite good to you."

Realizing she had been tricked by Jiang Moli, Lu Tingting couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Young women have their own thoughts and feelings, and there are some things they don't want their elders to know.

An Hui was relieved of her worries.

This brooch looks expensive, and she couldn't let her granddaughter accept such a valuable gift from someone else without knowing why.

If it's a gift from your partner, that's a different story.

Jiang Moli glanced at the brooch on Lu Tingting's collar, "Do you know what it means to give someone a ginkgo leaf as a gift?"

What could it possibly mean?

Lu Tingting's curiosity was successfully piqued; it was the first time she had ever heard of gifts having symbolic meanings.

"Give me a leg massage and I'll tell you."

"Say it or don't, I don't want to hear it anyway."

Jiang Moli didn't care. "If you don't want to hear it, then forget it."

After holding back for less than two minutes, Lu Tingting finally couldn't resist her curiosity and resigned herself to massaging Jiang Moli's legs.

Jiang Moli said with a look of enjoyment, "Let me tell you, these ginkgo leaves symbolize unwavering and eternal love."

After hearing Jiang Moli's explanation, Lu Tingting's face burned like a monkey's bottom.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

An Hui scolded her, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're dating Zhou Nian, isn't it only natural for him to give you a brooch that symbolizes love?"

Lu Tingting had no words to say.

Her family all thought that Zhou Nian was her boyfriend, but in fact, she and Zhou Nian were just ordinary friends.

It was late at night, but Lu Tingting was not sleepy at all.

While examining the brooch she had given her on their anniversary, he pondered the meaning behind Jiang Moli's words.

To be honest, she was really good to Anniversary.

Even though he knew she was in the wrong seat, he didn't expose her. Instead, he covered for her, went rollerblading with her, and helped her solve work problems, making her feel that he was a reliable and trustworthy person. His previous cold indifference towards her was due to a misunderstanding that she was dating Gao Mingchuan, and he later gave her a brooch as an apology.

Could it be that Zhou Nian really likes her?

This conjecture didn't offend her; on the contrary, it brought her a strange sense of joy.

The following day, Lu Tingting kept her promise and treated everyone to dinner on anniversary.

In the past, she would definitely have invited Wu Meixia and Song Ke along, but this time she made an excuse that she didn't have enough pocket money and didn't invite the two of them.

The restaurant was chosen by Zhou Nian; it was Fu Shun Lou, the same restaurant where Lu Tingting had mistakenly sat at the wrong table.

Just as the two sat down to order, they ran into two of their friends who were also there for dinner.

After exchanging pleasantries, the friend casually joked about the anniversary, "I told you I asked you out the other day and you said you were busy. Turns out you were busy dating!"

Another friend chimed in sarcastically, "Old Zhou, aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

Lu Tingting's cheeks flushed, and her heart inexplicably raced.

Zhou Nian laughed and said, "Don't make wild guesses. We're just ordinary friends who met today to talk about something."

Upon hearing this, the two friends tactfully took their leave.

Zhou Nian sat back down and asked Lu Tingting, "What would you like to eat?"

"casual."

On anniversary, we ordered three dishes and a soup, including pig's trotters and stir-fried pork with chili peppers, which Lu Tingting loves. We also ordered a bottle of orange soda for Lu Tingting.

The refreshing soda failed to lift Lu Tingting's spirits, and even her favorite braised pig's trotters tasted bland and tasteless today.

Forget it, let's hurry up and finish eating and go home.

It's all Jiang Moli's fault for talking nonsense, making her so narcissistic that she actually thought Zhou Nian had feelings for her.

Just as Lu Tingting was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Zhou Nian call her name: "Lu Tingting".

She looked up at him. "What's wrong?"

Are you unhappy?

Although his gaze radiated an all-knowing wisdom, it couldn't dissuade Lu Tingting from her stubbornness: "No!"

There was no argument with her about whether or not there was a problem on the anniversary.

“I told my friend that I didn’t want to distance myself from you, but I didn’t want to damage your reputation. You are a very good girl and deserve to be cherished and treated with respect.”

His clear, melodious voice flowed through Lu Tingting's heart like a mountain spring, washing away all her unhappiness.

"Why are you telling me this? I wasn't thinking anything. It's your friends who are talking nonsense."

Her tone was coquettish and tried to cover up her true feelings, but little did she know that her flushed cheeks revealed her true emotions.

Anniversary said slowly and deliberately, "I was worried that you would be unhappy because of this, and I was even more afraid that you would be disappointed in me. You may not know, but even the most rational man can be as nervous and clumsy as a child in front of a girl he likes."

The sudden confession left Lu Tingting completely stunned, unable to react.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Nian looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I should have chosen a better time and place, but when emotions run high, I can't always stay calm and rational."

"Lu Tingting, I know you have someone else in your heart right now, but I have enough patience and I hope you can seriously consider me."

The words "having someone else in her heart" stunned Lu Tingting for a moment, then she realized that she hadn't thought of Shen Yanzhi for a long time.
