The room suddenly became quiet. Lu Anning closed his eyes tightly and subconsciously clenched his hands hidden under the quilt into fists.

She didn't wait for the warm hug, but heard a rustling sound behind her. It was him changing clothes.

"I'll go take a look and make sure everyone is safe. I'll be back soon."

Lu Anning didn't respond. The door opened and closed again. A moment later, the sound of an engine starting could be heard from the yard. In the darkness, Lu Anning opened his eyes and gave a sarcastic smile.

What on earth was she expecting just now?

Emptying herself, Lu Anning quickly fell asleep, not waiting for Tang Jingyuan. When Tang Jingyuan returned, she was already fast asleep. Even when they met the next day, Lu Anning didn't ask about what happened last night.

Lu Anning was still the same as before, able to eat and sleep, and full of energy when working. However, Tang Jingyuan felt that she was a little different from before. He couldn't put his finger on what it was.

Ye Lingfei took a day off and returned to the company, still looking the gentle and affable daughter of a prestigious family. Lu Anning assumed that upon learning that Tang Jingyuan was married, Ye Lingfei would distance herself from him. After all, a daughter of a wealthy family always had her own noble character.

Unexpectedly, after she came back from her break, she stood next to Tang Jingyuan even more unscrupulously, and privately, she even regarded herself as Tang Jingyuan's girlfriend. Lu Anning smiled disdainfully when he heard the news.

The pride of a daughter of a wealthy family is nothing more than this.

Lu Anning let Ye Lingfei show off in the company. She only focused on her own project. As for other things, fake things can never be real.

Ye Lingfei couldn't sit still and approached Lu Anning again. Compared to last time, this time she was even more imposing. It was as if she was the real boss.

"Lu Anning, since you know Jing Yuan is married, I just want to ask you, who is the woman he married?"

Lu Anning laughed sarcastically, "So what if you knew? I thought Director Ye, a proud person, would never do something as shameless as 'knowing someone else'. I didn't expect you to enjoy it. Knowing that Mr. Tang is married, you still pretend to be his girlfriend in the company. Miss Ye, is this your noble character?"

Lu Anning's continuous questioning made Ye Lingfei blush for a moment. If it were anyone else, she would certainly disdain to do so. But this person was Tang Jingyuan, so what if she put aside her pride and dignity?

Tang Jingyuan might not really like that woman, otherwise, he wouldn't have invited me in person.

Ye Lingfei straightened up and smiled disdainfully: "Lu Anning, you are the same, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

Lu Anning laughed out loud: "The person who is most qualified to criticize you is me."

Ye Lingfei thought Lu Anning was just talking nonsense: "I didn't leave just like that. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Just tell me who that woman is, and don't worry about anything else."

No matter how rich and famous she is, she is just an ordinary woman, how can she be compared with her.

Lu Anning smiled and shook his head: "Director Ye is so smart, why don't you guess it yourself."

She just gave Ye Lingfei a mysterious smile and ended the conversation.

Ye Lingfei was furious at not getting the answer she wanted, but she couldn't do anything to Lu An Ning. It was like punching cotton, and Lu An Ning laughed at her instead. Furious, she could only cling to Tang Jingyuan, using it as a way to show off.

Lu Anning saw it all but remained indifferent. Tang Jingyuan never denied it, which made Ye Lingfei even more proud. She almost walked sideways in the company, and her popularity far exceeded that of when Lu Anning first joined the company.

This news quickly reached the old man, who was a little incredulous: "Where's Lu Anning? Did she just let Ye Lingfei do whatever she wanted and didn't argue with that brat?"

The housekeeper also found this matter strange. Which woman could tolerate her husband keeping another woman under his nose and letting her enter the house?

"Lu Anning is still the same as before, leaving get off work on time. If the Third Master has time to pick her up, they will walk together, talking and laughing. If he is with Ye Lingfei, Lu Anning will take the subway home to cook. There is nothing unusual at all."

The more the old man thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. This was not the reaction Lu Anning should have had.

The biggest problem is that there is no movement.

"Stay careful. This brat is very slippery. He might be playing tricks on me. Don't trust him."

The last time he was so anxious, it didn't seem fake. It was also this order that finally made Lu An Ning realize something.

She wasn't supposed to work overtime that day. She and Zhao Zheyan had planned to attend a high school reunion together, but Tang Jingyuan had mentioned he had an evening social event, and Lu Anning didn't bother to share his schedule. When she got off work, Zhao Zheyan texted her saying he had a minor surgery and couldn't come pick her up.

Lu Anning was not one to be sentimental, so she agreed immediately and made an appointment with Zhao Zheyan to meet directly at the entrance of Yunding. She calculated the time to leave the company, but couldn't get a taxi. It was already dark, so she decided to take the subway. After walking for a while, she felt something was wrong.

It seems like someone is following her!

Lu Anning turned around abruptly, but there was no one behind her. Terrified, she ran towards the subway station and subconsciously called Tang Jingyuan's cell phone.

The phone rang for a while, and then a cold tone came to her ears, and the other party hung up. She then remembered that Tang Jingyuan had an appointment.

Just as she was hesitating whether to continue calling, Zhao Zheyan called. Lu Anning picked up the phone immediately and spoke loudly on purpose.

"Zhao Zheyan, you'll wait for me at the entrance? Okay! I'll be there soon."

Zhao Zheyan felt something was wrong and immediately comforted Lu Anning: "Are you in trouble? Don't panic! Go to a crowded place, tell me your location, and I'll come pick you up."

"I'm at the subway station near the company. I just came in." She didn't dare look back. She quickened her pace and said in a low voice, "I felt someone was following me. I just entered the subway station."

Lu An Ning herself didn't realize that her voice was trembling at the moment.

Zhao Zheyan kept talking to her while rushing to pick her up from the hospital. Fortunately, after entering the subway, they were in the surveillance area and there were more people around. Lu Anning gradually felt relieved, and when she looked back, she no longer had the strange feeling she had before.

She found a seat and sat down, then she breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and wiped it, and her forehead was already covered with sweat.

"Zhao Zheyan, I'm fine. Thank you!"
