A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Jingyuan's eyes: "Why should I go to the hospital to see her?"

"Didn't Bai Lu get sent to the hospital for hypoglycemia?"

Bai Lu was alone and helpless and felt uncomfortable, so Tang Jingyuan had reason to take care of her.

"It's just hypoglycemia! Just go back and improve your nutrition. I've only been observing her for one night." Tang Jingyuan looked at her: "Do you really want me to visit her?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to take care of her?"

Lu Anning tried his best to keep his tone emotionless, but Tang Jingyuan still noticed it.

"Are you still upset about what happened that day? I've already explained everything about Bai Lu and I. You're my wife, why are you getting angry with a little girl?"

"If you expect me to remain indifferent after seeing you carry her into the hospital, just tell me and I will do it."

She was just an ordinary woman with her own emotions. Even if he treated Bai Lu as his sister, after all, they were not related by blood, so shouldn't he maintain a basic sense of boundaries?

Lu Anning was impulsive after all. She hadn't wanted to say these words because she didn't want to cause any more unpleasantness because of Bai Lu and Tang Jingyuan. But after seeing Tang Jingyuan, she realized that she couldn't do it.

That feeling is like a lump in the throat.

Tang Jingyuan's eyes flashed with shock: "Did you see it?"

"Photo! Unfortunately, I saw it. I can't remain indifferent."

"She fainted, and her condition is unknown. That's a life. I can't just ignore her!"

Seeing Tang Jingyuan's cold face, Lu Anning calmed down instead. This sentence has already made Tang Jingyuan's attitude towards Bai Lu clear. In the future, such things will happen frequently.

So, she could only get used to it.

"I understand. I won't mention it again."

Lu An Ning didn't make any noise, she just sat down and ate wontons quietly. She couldn't starve herself because of such a small matter, it wasn't worth it.

The office was stuffy. Tang Jingyuan watched her eating with her head down without saying a word. He felt a breath stuck in his chest, like a punch hitting cotton.

Several times, he wanted to explain, but swallowed his words back.

He and Bai Lu are honest and have done nothing wrong, so there is nothing to explain.

He would be delighted when he felt jealous for the first time, but Tang Jingyuan also felt tired of Bai Lu's constant unpleasantness.

At first, he thought Lu Anning was suitable because she promised not to cause him any trouble.

The more Tang Jingyuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he suddenly stood up.

"If you think too much, I don't have much to explain. I thought that after we'd both experienced life and death, you would at least have some trust in me. Now it seems that I was just being too self-righteous. Your suspicion will only make both of us more tired. Think about it carefully! I'll wait for you in the parking lot."

Lu Anning froze, watching Tang Jingyuan turn and leave, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

How could she forget that it was she who had been pestering him to marry her?

They had agreed on mutual benefit and that each would get what they needed. Now I am really being ignorant.

After finishing the last bite of wonton, she drank several mouthfuls of soup, picked up her bag and left the company.

In the elevator, she sent a message to Tang Jingyuan: "I can drive back by myself, no need to bother you."

In the car, Tang Jingyuan heard the voice, flames burst out of his heart, and he punched the steering wheel.

While starting the car, I sent a message to my childhood friend group: Let’s go out for a drink…

When Lu Anning got home, she didn't see Tang Jingyuan. Standing in the room, she looked at the two pillows placed side by side, and suddenly felt that she and Tang Jingyuan should return to their original track.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up her pajamas and went to the second bedroom next door to wash up.

Tang Jingyuan was right, she should calm down.

The hot water washed over her cool body, and when she came out, she was already warm all over. She adjusted the temperature in the guest bedroom and went to sleep directly in the guest bedroom.

Tang Jingyuan didn't return until the middle of the night, reeking of alcohol. Furious, he stubbornly refused to call Lu Anning, waiting the entire night for her to show any concern.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. When had he ever been depressed because of a woman?

In the beginning, she was the one who provoked me first. Now it's nothing if I just ignore her.

He pushed open the master bedroom door with unsteady steps, expecting to see the bedside lamp, which was on as usual, but instead found himself in complete darkness. He groped his way towards the bed, and with the dim light from outside, he realized that there was no one on the bed.

He was startled and reached out to turn on the light.

The light was so bright that he raised his hand to block it out. It took him a while to adjust. When he looked more closely, he realized that there was no one in the room.

The car was parked in the yard, but the person was not in the master bedroom.

He stood up suddenly and remembered that when he was changing shoes at the entrance, he saw her going-out shoes were still there.

If you are still at home, you can sleep in the guest bedroom.

Tang Jingyuan tugged at his tie irritably and walked towards the guest bedroom next door. When his hand was on the door handle, he stopped again.

The next second, he turned around and went back to the master bedroom.

The door was slammed shut, as if to vent the owner's dissatisfaction. However, this action did not bring any impact to the guest bedroom. Separated by a wall, the two people fell asleep with their own emotions.

Lu Anning specially set the alarm clock and got up earlier than usual. When Tang Jingyuan got up, Lu Anning had already gone to the company.

The two of them stayed calm for several days, staggering their mornings and evenings. Tang Jingyuan couldn't sit still anymore. When Lu Anning came home late from overtime, he blocked her in the aisle.

He gritted his teeth, pushed her against the wall, pinched Lu Anning's chin with one hand, and forced her to look at him, his low voice full of anger.

"How long are you going to make this fuss?"
