Because of Tang Rui's matter, Lu Anning tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep in Tang Jingyuan's arms. Fortunately, the next day was the weekend, so she didn't have to get up early.

At nine o'clock in the morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door. When he heard Tang Rui calling her, Lu Anning sat up suddenly, unable to tell whether she was dreaming or not.

There was another knock on the door: "Lazy boy, get up!"

Lu An Ning was sure he had heard correctly, so he hurried to open the door without even putting on his shoes, and before opening the door, he didn't forget to tidy up his clothes and hair. Seeing Tang Rui standing at the door in casual clothes, Lu An Ning smiled awkwardly.

"Good morning, Xiao Rui!"

"Dad and I are going out to buy some materials. You should pack up and eat something. Today, we are going to make a dog house in the yard."

Lu Anning was stunned and almost thought he had misheard.

"You guys want to... make a doghouse?"

"Don't you want to raise a dog? A doghouse made by yourself will show more sincerity. Don't try to shirk your responsibilities." After saying that, Tang Rui waved his hands and ran downstairs. Lu Anning didn't come back to his senses until he heard the sound of a car driving away outside the house.

But what happened in just one night?

Tang Rui actually wants to raise a dog!

Lu An Ning smiled broadly, and even the glaring sun outside became cute.

Lu Anning had just finished eating when the father and son had already bought all the materials from the building materials market. Lu Anning looked at the materials piled in the yard and frowned.

"I can't build a dog house, can you?"

Tang Rui pointed at Tang Jingyuan and said, "A professional builder can't even build a doghouse. Who are you looking down on?"

Sure enough! In less than half an hour, Tang Jingyuan had finished the design.

The suspended design was waterproof and moisture-proof, and it faced south, with a large tree behind it, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. The three of them began to work under the scorching sun, with Tang Rui helping out. Lu Anning said he was helping, but in reality, he was just hanging around. However, laughter and chatter could be heard from the yard from time to time.

The doorbell outside suddenly rang, and the three people looked at each other suspiciously. After a while, the servant brought someone in. Ye Lingfei came uninvited with a gift in her hand.

Seeing the family busy in the yard, Ye Lingfei couldn't believe her eyes.

She had clearly heard Lu Anning say that she would take Tang Rui to celebrate his birthday yesterday. Knowing the father and son, she knew Lu Anning would definitely anger Tang Rui, so why were the three of them still getting along so well?

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing here?" Tang Jingyuan's smile disappeared when he saw Ye Lingfei. He hadn't settled the score with her for the things she had done behind his back, yet she still had the nerve to come to his door.

Ye Lingfei stepped forward with a smile and explained, "The latest smartwatch I ordered a while ago has arrived. It's perfect for Xiao Rui, so I sent it here specially for him."

Knowing that she couldn't mention "birthday" in front of Tang Rui, she cleverly avoided the topic.

Tang Rui just glanced at it casually: "Watch? Not interested."

"Xiao Rui, this watch uses the most advanced technology from abroad. There are only ten of them. I managed to snatch them for you with great difficulty. Would you like to take a look first?"

"I have a lot of watches. You can take this one back and use it yourself! I'm very busy, please move aside." Tang Rui walked around Ye Lingfei, thinking she was in the way.

Ye Lingfei felt a little aggrieved: "Don't you want to take a look?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I treat you as a stranger, but you want to be my stepmother. Dream on! My birthday has already passed, you don't need to be so attentive here."

Tang Rui spoke bluntly, and Lu An Ning couldn't help laughing. Ye Lingfei's face turned blue and purple, and she gritted her teeth. She didn't want to leave like this.

Seeing them busy, Ye Lingfei tried to interrupt: "Are you building something? Jingyuan, let me help you!"

Tang Jingyuan avoided Ye Lingfei's movements and called Lu Anning to the side: "Hand me a number five board."

Lu An Ning easily found it and handed it to Tang Jingyuan: "We need to build a doghouse. The sun is very strong outside. Don't burn Miss Ye's delicate skin. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Miss Ye should go back first."

"Doghouse? Lu Anning, you're crazy. Jing Yuan, you want Lu Anning to keep a dog in the house? You're not..."

"Ling Fei!" Tang Jingyuan stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, a hint of anger in his eyes.

"You don't need to meddle in our family affairs. There are some things I don't want to point out, but you should keep them in mind. My tolerance for you is limited. Take your things back, and don't come to Ronghua Garden without my permission in the future."

Ye Lingfei stared at Tang Jingyuan with wide eyes. He actually wanted to drive her away in front of Lu An Ning and the child.

When did Lu Anning become so important to him!

And Tang Rui, why does it seem like he and Lu Anning get along so well!

"Jing Yuan..."

"I don't want to say the same thing a second time."

Tang Rui rolled his eyes and pushed Ye Lingfei away. "Don't delay our construction progress here. I can go get the puppy after the house is built. Let's go!"

Ye Lingfei was successfully angered by Tang Rui and left angrily in her high heels. The laughter coming from behind her stimulated her heart. Even the scorching sun above her head seemed to be mocking her uselessness. She sprained her ankle and her eyes turned red with anger.

She tried her best but couldn't get a smile from Tang Rui. How could Lu An Ning easily get along with Tang Rui?

Tang Jingyuan actually said that they were a family. Then what was the point of me staying by Tang Jingyuan's side all these years?

She was unwilling to be defeated by an orphan girl!
