When their eyes met, Lu An Ning felt as if he was under a spell, unable to move forward or backward.

Tang Jingyuan instinctively wanted to pull his hand away, but the unconscious Bai Lu held it even tighter.

"Don't go! Don't leave me..."

Bai Lu, who was in a coma, spoke with a tearful voice and held Tang Jingyuan even tighter.

Lu An Ning stared at their clasped hands, pursed his lips, and looked unhappy.

“Ningning…”

"I'm glad you're okay! Your phone was turned off, and I was worried something might have happened to you. I have things to do at the company tomorrow, so I'll be heading home first."

Lu Anning turned around and left the ward without hesitation, ignoring the voice calling her from behind.

She walked quickly, not wanting to stop for a moment. Even though she knew there was no strange relationship between them, Lu Anning still couldn't help but think too much.

Sitting in the car, she breathed deeply, realizing that her emotions were fluctuating too much. Lu Anning was a little panicked.

She began to care about Tang Jingyuan!

In the car, the little surprise she had arranged for Tang Jingyuan was still there. Seeing it now, Lu Anning found it somewhat ridiculous. She took it so seriously, but perhaps he didn't care that much.

Lu Anning shook his head, trying to put aside those messy thoughts, stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared out of the hospital parking lot.

The house seemed particularly empty with only her there. On the table was the dinner prepared for Tang Jingyuan's birthday, but it was already cold.

She took a few bites of the cold cake, but it was hard to swallow. She didn't make it hard on herself and threw it all into the trash can. In the end, only the lonely cake was left on the dining table. Lu An Ning didn't look at it again, turned around and went upstairs to wash up and go to bed.

She didn't have the energy to care about these emotions. There was still a lot of work waiting for her tomorrow, and she had to get a good rest.

Before going to bed, she specially lit some calming incense to ensure that she would fall asleep as quickly as possible. She slept well that night.

When she woke up the next day, she habitually reached out to the seat beside her. The cold touch instantly woke her up from sleepiness, and the quilt remained motionless.

Did he...stay in the hospital all night?

Lu Anning curled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, quickly put his emotions under control, got up and washed up.

When she finished packing and came out of the room, she ran into a wall of flesh. Lu Anning took two steps back and was hooked by the waist and pulled into the other person's arms.

When did he come back?

Tang Jingyuan was wearing a bathrobe, with water droplets hanging on his hair. The two of them were close to each other, and the fragrance of shower gel and the faint scent of sandalwood gradually intertwined.

Lu An Ning quickly withdrew her gaze, and when she stood firm, she stepped back from Tang Jingyuan's arms, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.

"Last night, I..."

"It's getting late. I'm going out first."

She gave Tang Jingyuan a lukewarm smile, walked around him and went downstairs without even looking at him seriously.

Tang Jingyuan stood upstairs, chasing the slender figure hurriedly away, and gradually frowned.

He saw the cakes and gifts on the dining table. The servant told him that Lu Anning came back last night and prepared many of his favorite dishes, and he was in a good mood.

The sound of a car driving away was heard in the yard, and Tang Jingyuan frowned even more tightly.

Is she jealous or angry?

Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and turned back to the room.

Lu Anning was still affected and had a cold face the whole morning, even though he was in a good mood just two days ago.

Everyone was wondering if their boss Lu was about to have her period?

It was said that women who were about to have their periods would have a bad temper and needed to be coaxed carefully. Therefore, the executives who went in to report on their work were cautious, trying to tell the best news possible, for fear of angering Lu Anning.

After Lu Anning discovered that the green tea he used to drink had been replaced with chrysanthemum tea, he called Zhong Ling in.

"Why is it chrysanthemum tea?"

Chrysanthemum is slightly bitter, and she doesn't like the taste. Now honeysuckle has been added, which is too cold.

"I see you're a little irritated. Chrysanthemum tea is just right for you right now."

Zhong Ling smiled and paid attention to Lu Anning's reaction.

Lu An Ning paused what he was doing and looked up at her: "Is it that obvious? I just can't be happy."

I carefully prepared a birthday celebration for my husband, but he stayed in the hospital all night with another woman. No one would be happy!

"Wasn't yesterday Mr. Tang's birthday? Did you have a bad time?"

Lu Anning sighed, waved for Zhong Ling to sit down, and talked to her about what happened yesterday.

She had met Bai Lu and knew very well that Tang Jingyuan could not have any other feelings for her. But when she saw Bai Lu unconscious and holding his hand last night, Lu Anning still couldn't control her emotions.

She looked up at Zhong Ling and asked, "Am I just making a fuss about nothing?"

Zhong Ling frowned. "Mr. Lu, you are so beautiful and charming, no other woman can compare to you. However, I still want to remind you not to underestimate your enemy. Sometimes, it's often those you haven't even looked at who can catch you off guard."

Lu Anning seemed to be thinking about something, but when she thought of Bai Lu, she felt that it was unlikely!

"The inconspicuous Bai Lu won't arouse your vigilance at all. This is actually her advantage."

Lu Anning became alert, as Zhong Ling's words made some sense.

However, given the relationship between Bai Lu and Tang Jingyuan, it was impossible for Tang Jingyuan to ignore her.

From now on, she needs to be more vigilant and avoid being plotted against.

Lu Anning didn't contact Tang Jingyuan the whole day, nor did she receive any calls or messages, and the atmosphere in the office became even lower.

There was a knock on the office door. Lu Anning lowered his head and flipped through the documents with a frown on his face.

"Enter!"

After a while, the teacup was pushed in front of her. She reached out to take it and took a sip. When she realized it was chrysanthemum tea again, her brows furrowed even more.

“Zhong Ling, didn’t I ask you to make green tea?”

She raised her eyes and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her. It was Tang Jingyuan.

Lu Anning was stunned. When did he come in?

Where is Zhong Ling?
