Lu Anning had always known about the discord between father and son, but she had never imagined it would escalate to this point. She knew that, given her position, she shouldn't have been so involved. However, now that she was deeply involved in the situation, didn't she have the right to know?

What's more, they are husband and wife.

Even though there was no emotion, the nervousness he showed just now gave Lu An Ning courage. Could she try to understand this man a little better?

She looked at him intently, trying to see through his thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Tang Jingyuan met her gaze and said, "What happened today will never happen again. No one will dare to hurt you."

"I'm not scared, I just want to..."

"That's enough." Tang Jingyuan stood up impatiently and stopped looking at Lu Anning: "Don't forget what you promised. You will do your duty as a wife. Don't ask anything else that you shouldn't ask. I said I won't let you be in danger, just rest assured."

Tang Jingyuan left a few cold words and left the room.

Lu Anning sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, until she heard the sound of a car starting in the yard. She came to her senses and smiled self-deprecatingly.

What is she doing!

That's Mr. Pei San, and his secrets are not something that an unrelated person like me can pry into.

She looked out the window and forced a bitter smile. She was meddling in other people's business.

Tang Jingyuan left without saying anything. The servant prepared lunch for her. Although it was her favorite dish, she had no appetite.

Halfway through her meal, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Xiang Yang, asking her to rest at home for a day and come back to work tomorrow.

Perhaps it was because the effect of the medicine had not yet worn off, but Lu Anning still felt a little listless and lay back on the bed. When he woke up, it was already dark. The empty villa was silent, and he could only hear the chirping of insects and birds outside the window. Tang Jingyuan had not returned.

She forced herself to cheer up. There was dinner prepared by the servants in the kitchen, but she had no appetite.

Alone, she discovered for the first time how long the night could last. A comedy variety show was playing in the living room, but she had no interest in watching it, occasionally staring at the noise outside. Night was approaching, and she almost fell asleep again. When she checked the time, it was already midnight, and the man hadn't returned yet.

She took a deep breath, surprised at her own trance. She picked up her phone several times to send a message to Tang Jingyuan to ask, but finally put it down.

Who is she to interfere with the whereabouts of the Third Master!

After figuring it out, Lu Anning put aside the bad emotions, turned off the variety show and went back to his room to sleep.

It was not until Lu Anning went to work the next day that he heard from his colleagues that Tang Jingyuan had suddenly taken Lin Tao on a business trip yesterday and had left in a hurry.

Zhong Ling looked at Lu Anning curiously: "Team Leader Lu, didn't Mr. Tang tell you that he was on a business trip? Are you all okay?"

"Oh! I don't care about these things, too annoying." Lu Anning answered casually, and then gathered her energy to devote herself to the day's work. However, she knew in her heart that he was deliberately avoiding her.

Throughout the whole day, Lu An Ning looked as usual. Even the people in the team noticed that after a day's rest, she had more energy than before, as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood.

Lu Anning kept herself busy, working overtime until late at night, and then she would go home exhausted and fall asleep immediately, with no time to think about anything else. A few days passed like this, and her life seemed to be stuck in a vicious cycle, seemingly full of vitality, but also as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

The high-intensity work made Lu Anning very excited. Even Xiang Yang noticed something was wrong and called him to the office.

"Are you okay lately?"

Lu Anning smiled perfectly: "I'm fine! Vice President Xiang, do you think the recent work progress has been slow?"

"The work is progressing well. I'm talking about your personal status."

"Thank you for your concern, Vice President Xiang. I'm in good shape, eating and sleeping well. If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work."

Some words were on the tip of Xiang Yang's tongue, but looking at Lu An Ning's smiling face, Xiang Yang swallowed them back. They were not close friends, so it seemed inappropriate for him to say some things. It was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, so they had to communicate between themselves.

It was a week later that Tang Jingyuan came back. He caused quite a stir as soon as he arrived at the company because he came back with a very beautiful woman.

Lu Anning paused typing and looked at Zhong Ling. Tang Jingyuan had brought her back to the company personally before, but there hadn't been such a grand ceremony as today.

"The whole company knows that President Tang brought back a beautiful woman. It seems she's the design director for the design department. He's currently showing her around the various departments! I heard she's President Tang's childhood sweetheart.

Lu An Ning raised his eyebrows and walked away for a week without saying a word, saying he was on a business trip, but it turned out that he was going to see his childhood sweetheart.

She curled her lips and didn't respond.

Zhong Ling asked again: "Team Leader Lu, did you and Mr. Tang really have a fight?"

Lu Anning patted her forehead and reminded her: "It's working time now. If you're just gossiping, be careful that Vice President Xiang sees you and punishes you."

When Xiang Yang was mentioned, Zhong Ling immediately shrank her neck and shut her mouth obediently.

But after a while, the footsteps came closer and closer. Hearing the loud noise outside, Lu An Ning knew that they were coming.

Lu Anning continued to work on her own things until they pushed the door open. A familiar voice echoed in the office, and she had to stop and look up at the source of the sound.

After not seeing each other for a week, Tang Jingyuan was dressed in a suit and tie, looking energetic, without the slightest trace of fatigue from just returning from a business trip. And indeed, with a beautiful woman by his side, how could he be tired?

My gaze shifted, landing on a graceful figure nearby. At first glance, she exuded a scholarly air. Beneath her distant, mountain-like brows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes shone with spirit, and her features were delicate, a true classical beauty. The same light pink, cryptically patterned, new Chinese-style cheongsam she wore only accentuated her dewy complexion, making her look like a lotus emerging from water. Every gesture exuded an antique charm.

No wonder Tang Jingyuan always chooses a new Chinese-style cheongsam dress for himself!

When Lu An Ning came to his senses, Tang Jingyuan had already brought his men towards Lu An Ning. Lu An Ning smiled slightly and stood up to greet him.
