"Why didn't you tell me? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Tang Jingyuan became nervous and looked Lu Anning up and down several times. Only after confirming that there were no external injuries did he feel relieved.

"My phone was broken too. I finally managed to get rescued, but then I passed out. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to miss Xiao Rui's parent-child day."

Tang Jingyuan sighed, did not respond, and pulled Lu Anning to sit down.

Seeing him about to leave, Lu An Ning grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"The wound needs to be treated."

"I'm back from the hospital and I'm fine. But Xiao Rui must be very angry!"

She had finally built trust with Tang Rui, but after a missed appointment, she felt their relationship had become negative. Seeing Bai Lu bullying her at home, Lu Anning was even more angry.

Lu Anning's eyes suddenly lit up: "Why is Bai Lu here?"

Tang Jingyuan was also a little surprised when he saw Bai Lu at first, but she just said that she was doing something nearby and saw him. She wanted to come over and say hello, but she didn't expect to see some children fighting and being bullied, so she didn't think too much about it.

"Xiao Rui was being bullied and teased by several classmates. Bai Lu said she felt the same way, and that's why she rushed over. She had never met Xiao Rui before."

That being said, Lu Anning always felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

"Didn't you say that when Xiao Rui called you, Bai Lu answered the phone?"

Tang Jingyuan hesitated for a moment. There are not so many coincidences in this world.

"You mean... even if Bai Lu showed up on purpose, she couldn't have predicted that Xiao Rui would be bullied, nor that you would be trapped in the elevator."

Of course, Bai Lu couldn't accomplish so many things by herself. Although it was hard to explain, Lu An Ning always felt that what happened today was not that simple.

"Blame me! If I had come to pick you up, none of this would have happened. Luckily, you're okay. You must have been terrified!"

Being trapped in an elevator is easy to say, but it can be life-threatening if you're not careful. Tang Jingyuan thought about it carefully and felt a surge of fear.

How come he didn't think that something had happened? He just thought she was busy with work.

"I'm fine, you don't have to blame yourself. Maybe it was just an accident, and you can't always be by my side. But Xiao Rui is so angry, we need to comfort him."

"Little kid, I'll explain it to him later."

"I'll go myself."

She was the one who broke the appointment. If she couldn't even give an explanation, the relationship between her and Tang Rui would only become more and more strained.

"You need to rest well now."

"I'm fine."

She didn't go, and Tang Rui was laughed at by his classmates. No wonder he was so angry.

Lu Anning went upstairs to take a shower, then knocked on Tang Rui's door with the cut cake.

"who?"

"Xiao Rui, it's me."

"Go away! I don't want to see you."

A muffled sound came from behind the door, followed by Tang Rui's roar. Lu Anning didn't get angry, and continued to coax him patiently: "I understand you're angry. I was wrong today, but before you condemn me, can you please listen to my explanation first? At least give me a chance to explain myself."

After a while, the footsteps became clearer and the door opened. Tang Rui glanced at Lu An Ning with a dark face, without saying a word, waiting for her explanation.

Lu Anning asked him softly, "Can I come in and talk to you?"

Tang Rui glanced at her, then looked at the vanilla cake in her hand, and then made way.

Lu Anning looked at the small figure in front of him, as if he saw Tang Jingyuan in his youth. They say that nephews resemble their uncles, and Tang Rui in front of him really did look about 60% like Tang Jingyuan.

"Explain! You only have ten minutes."

He leaned back in his seat with his arms folded across his chest, staring at Lu An Ning like an adult.

Lu An Ning sighed softly and told Tang Rui the whole story. To convince him, Lu An Ning also showed him his medical records and the injuries on his hands.

"I don't know what Bai Lu said to you, but I really didn't break the appointment on purpose, nor did I ignore your feelings. I'm really happy to receive your call and be able to attend your campus parent-child day."

Tang Rui pursed his lips tightly, his clear eyes looking back and forth at Lu An Ning, considering the truth of what Lu An Ning said.

After a while, Tang Rui spoke: "Will you and my dad have our own children?"

Lu Anning's expression froze: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"You will have your own children sooner or later. Even if you treat me well now, you won't be like this when you have brothers and sisters in the future. You will have your own children sooner or later, I know."

Lu Anning smiled and asked her patiently, "Who told you that I can have a baby?"

Tang Rui was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it like this? After getting married, everyone will have their own children, and you are no exception."

Lu Anning sighed deeply and promised Tang Rui earnestly, "I won't have any children. Your father and I will only have you as our son, understand?"

"You lied to me."

Tang Rui pushed Lu An Ning away and said, "Who wouldn't want to have their own child? After all, I'm not your biological child. When you get pregnant in the future, you won't think this way anymore."

"Your father didn't tell you! We agreed before we got married that we wouldn't have children."

Tang Rui was puzzled: "Why?"

Lu Anning smiled, handed him a piece of cake, and slowly explained: "Do you know how painful giving birth is? You might even lose your life accidentally. From pregnancy to childbirth, and then raising the child, it's too tiring. I don't think I have that much energy to take care of a baby. Besides, I'm most afraid of pain."

It was already midnight when Lu An Ning came out of the room. The child was asleep. Although he didn't know whether the grudge in his heart had dissipated, at least he was no longer angry about what happened today.

Thinking of what Tang Rui said, her eyes couldn't help but darken. Some people began to become restless again.
