Tang Jingyuan had said that Ding Wan was no ordinary person. But she was too straightforward today, and Lu Anning had to be on guard.

It would be great if she could have another smart teammate, but Tang Jingyuan’s reminder was right that sincerity should not be given lightly.

It's just right to take this opportunity to test Ding Wan's strength. If she can't even deal with Gu Yue, even if she marries into the Gu family in the future, she won't be able to help her much, and she might even become a burden.

She was testing Ding Wan, and wasn't Ding Wan also testing Lu Anning's attitude?

Lu Anning's intuition told him that they were the same type of people, neither of whom would easily reveal their true feelings to the other. Ding Wan seemed to care nothing about anything, but Lu Anning always felt that this was not the real her.

When Ding Wanshe is willing to open her heart to me, it will prove that I have completely gained her trust.

Of course! Maybe she would never do that.

What does it matter!

She only knew that her elder brother would be very busy for the next period of time.

As expected, after that day, Lu Anning never saw Gu Yue come to her for dinner again. Someone also photographed Ding Wan frequently entering and leaving the Gu Group, and there were many shots of the two of them together, suggesting that something good was about to happen. This was a rare thing for Gu Yue, who had never been involved in any gossip.

It was Gu Yu who first proposed the marriage, and now it's Gu Yue. Suddenly, many people in the circle criticized Ding Wan, but this didn't affect her initiative at all. She seemed to be deliberately appearing around Gu Yue more frequently.

Even when participating in some business activities, the two of them might meet and talk to each other.

Many people in the circle are saying that Ding Wan is a loser. Since Gu Yu doesn't want her, she sticks to his older brother. In fact, she is shameless and has no sense of reserve at all.

Just as the rumors about Gu Yue and Ding Wan were increasing, Gu Zhiwei and the head of the Ding family held a press conference together and directly announced the news of their upcoming engagement, which caused an uproar in the entire Beijing circle.

The scolding towards Ding Wan was getting louder and louder, full of jealousy. However, as the person involved, Ding Wan immediately called Lu Anning to show off.

"See? I told you I'd take down your brother."

Lu Anning smiled calmly: "It's just an engagement announcement, it doesn't mean anything. There are so many people scolding you, aren't you worried?"

Ding Wan's laughter, like a silver bell, came to my ears: "If it were you, would you care?"

Lu Anning didn't answer. They both already had their answer in their hearts. She knew that their marriage was almost certain. It seemed that her eldest brother had already made up his mind.

If it were her, she might also agree.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Anning thought that maybe she could start preparing for an engagement ceremony. However, she wondered how Gu Yu, who was far away in the mountains, would feel when he heard the news.

The two families acted quickly and began preparing for the engagement party as soon as the date was set.

Lu An Ning didn't have any good ideas for an engagement gift at the moment. When she was worrying about it, Ji Yan came to the company to find her in person.

When listening to Zhong Ling's words, Lu Anning subconsciously looked out the window. The sun did not rise from the west today.

"Please invite everyone to the reception room. I will be there soon."

Seeing Zhong Ling leave, Lu Anning was momentarily dazed. She took a deep breath, stood up, took a half step, remembered something, and pulled her clothes before heading towards the reception room.

Ji Yan sat on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, looking calm and relaxed, while playing with her Buddhist beads. The unique aura of a noble lady invaded the entire office.

When Lu An Ning saw Ji Yan, he hesitated for a moment and called her "Mom", his politeness revealing a sense of distance.

The mother and daughter sat opposite each other. Ji Yan lowered her eyelids slightly and responded lightly, without showing any emotion.

The reception room was so quiet that the only sound was Ji Yan playing with her Buddhist beads. Ji Yan didn't say anything, and Lu An Ning took the initiative to break the silence.

"What brings you here today? I heard you went to the mountains?"

"Yeah! I just finished my SPA and came to see you."

Lu An Ning naturally wouldn't believe that her relationship with Ji Yan wasn't good enough for her to come to the company to see her. She was afraid that the drunkard had other intentions.

She smiled slightly, her eyes fixed on Ji Yan, her expression calm.

Even when she was alone with her mother, Lu Anning still couldn't find the closeness that should exist between a mother and daughter. She even felt a little uncomfortable.

"I know you don't want to see me. There's no one here with you. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. That way, we won't waste each other's time."

Ji Yan was surprised by Lu Anning's directness. The confident light in his eyes stung her eyes, reminding her of someone deep in her memory. She frowned subconsciously.

"It's nothing, actually. I just need to take up some of your time to accompany me up the mountain to fulfill a vow."

Lu Anning had heard Gu Yue mention that Ji Yan believed in gods and Buddhas, but he had never expected that she would ask him to go with her.

"Shall I accompany you to fulfill your vow?"

"Only you can do this. I once made a vow before the Bodhisattva that if I could find you, I would personally take you to fulfill my vow. Now that you're back, this should have been done long ago. Just pack up and come up the mountain with me!"

"Now?"

Did you come to see her specially just to take her to fulfill a vow?

"Bodhisattva's work is most important. If you are late, the Buddha will blame you. It doesn't matter if you are late for your work for half a day."

Ji Yan's calm tone revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if if Lu An Ning refused, she would forcibly take him away the next moment.

Lu An Ning hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is that all? No problem. I'll just tell you and I'll go with you."

On the mountain!

temple!

If she remembered correctly, Lu Yunxi seemed to have been sent to the mountains to rest and take care of her pregnancy.
