The sharp gaze looked back and forth at Lu An Ning. Lu An Ning felt guilty and didn't know how to convince Tang Jingyuan for a moment.
"You'll understand after you read my plan. There's no need for me to lie to you. In short, you won't be wrong if you trust me."
After a while, Tang Jingyuan withdrew his gaze and put the document aside: "I'll take a look when I have time."
Seeing Tang Jingyuan give in, Lu Anning felt a little relieved. Her hopes were all placed on Tang Jingyuan alone.
After returning to Ronghua Garden, Tang Jingyuan discovered that Lu Anning had been following him. As soon as he went upstairs, Lu Anning had already made tea and was waiting for him at the door of the study.
"I prepared some refreshing tea for you so you won't feel sleepy when you work overtime at night."
Tang Jingyuan lowered his eyes: "Who said I have to work overtime?"
Lu Anning was stunned. He hadn’t read the plan yet. Shouldn’t he work overtime to finish it after returning?
"But my plan..."
Tang Jingyuan strode forward, expressionless and imposing. Lu Anning took two steps back and was pushed against the wall by Tang Jingyuan. She was forced to look up and meet his cold eyes, feeling uneasy.
She didn't say anything wrong just now!
Tang Jingyuan looked down at the person in his arms: "Have you forgotten something?"
"ah?"
She should remember something!
Tang Jingyuan leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear. His warm breath sprayed on her neck, and a tingling sensation swept over her body. Lu Anning felt like she was electrocuted for a moment.
He actually still remembered what I said casually this morning.
Seeing that she was silent, Tang Jingyuan kindly reminded her, "If you want to start in the study, I don't mind."
Lu Anning's breath hitched, and just as he looked up to speak, he was kissed by Tang Jingyuan. The faint aroma of alcohol gradually dissipated, and Lu Anning realized that he had been drinking.
The chaotic thoughts were gradually swallowed up by the hot kiss. Tang Jingyuan's attack was too fierce, and Lu Anning was a little overwhelmed. After a while, her legs became weak and she hung on him, panting slightly. As her collar loosened, Lu Anning managed to regain some rationality.
"Don't...haven't showered yet!"
Tang Jingyuan panted heavily, freed his hands to push open the door behind him, and walked in with the person in his arms: "Just right, let's go together."
It's strange to say, but after just one night, he actually became a little greedy for the taste of this woman. He was used to being pure and celibate, but he became anxious like a young boy.
Lu Anning gradually lost her mind under Tang Jingyuan's temptation. She never thought that she could be so crazy when she was sober.
The sound of dripping water was mixed with the crisp sound of buttons falling to the ground. Her rationality was completely swallowed up. The man's voice of seduction was heard again and again in her ears, until she was too tired to open her eyes anymore...
Lu Anning had slept too long, and was awakened by hunger. When she opened her eyes, the sun was already high in the sky. She turned over, her whole body aching, and she frowned. Only then did she remember the madness of last night.
The place beside him was already cold. Lu Anning looked at the time and realized that he had slept all morning. On the bedside table was a note left by Tang Jingyuan.
: I'll pick you up in the evening and take you back to the old house for dinner.
Lu An Ning sat up suddenly. Returning to the old house, didn’t that mean she was going to meet someone from the Pei family?
I almost forgot that Tang Jingyuan was also forced to get married, and today is the third day.
In the room were clothes prepared for Lu Anning, clothes she would wear to the old house. Simple yet elegant with a touch of flamboyance, it was her favorite style.
The Pei family had a strict hierarchy, and the old man was even more majestic, holding absolute authority in the Pei family. Before she even went, she could already guess how stifling this family dinner would be.
In the evening, Tang Jingyuan came to pick up Lu Anning on time to go back to the old house. Seeing her dressed formally, Tang Jingyuan was a little uncomfortable for a moment. A satisfied smile flashed across his eyes. He said nothing and gestured for Lu Anning to get in the car.
When he saw Tang Jingyuan, Lu Anning asked about the plan.
"Have you read my plan?"
Tang Jingyuan was surprised: "I thought you would be a little nervous when I took you back to the old house for dinner."
This woman's mind was full of her bidding plan.
"Being nervous won't change anything, so why should I be nervous? Of course, I should focus on more important things. I'm just going back for dinner. Don't I still have you? I'm very sensible and I won't ask questions that I shouldn't. You'll tell me what I need to know."
Tang Jingyuan hummed softly: "He is quite sensible."
Being too sensible will inevitably make people feel uneasy.
The Pei family's old house was far away in the suburbs. It was almost dark when they arrived. Behind the majestic black iron gate, the entire manor was brightly lit. At first glance, it looked more like a castle in a fairy tale.
At the gate, the housekeeper and the servants of the old house stood in two neat rows to greet Tang Jingyuan. Lu Anning had seen grand occasions since she was a child, but she was still quietly shocked by the scene before her. She suppressed her emotions and stood quietly beside Tang Jingyuan, holding his hand as they walked in.
The luxurious decoration made Lu Anning a little dazzled. Wherever he looked, he saw things that were extremely valuable.
Before Lu An Ning saw the Pei family, he had already heard laughter coming from the living room and vaguely heard the three words "Pei Chengyi".
She was stunned. With Pei Chengyi's current strength, he should not be qualified to come to the old house.
She followed Tang Jingyuan calmly, and a voice came from the room: "Third brother, you are here at the right time. Come and see the person that Dad carefully selected for you."
Lu Anning appeared in front of everyone holding Tang Jingyuan's arm, and for a moment, the laughter in the living room stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes fixed on Lu An Ning, all stunned.
Pei Chengyi was sitting next to the second oldest, Pei Wenbin. When he saw Lu Anning, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
Tang Jingyuan took Lu Anning's hand and sat down opposite the old man, breaking the deadlock: "Old man, I brought her back. Lu Anning, my wife."
Lu Anning was pulled to sit down. He looked up to meet Mr. Pei's scrutinizing gaze. He was about to call for help when he was interrupted by the old man.
The old man snorted coldly, his dignity evident in his indignation. "Adopted daughter of the Lu family! I know you. Kicked out of the Lu family and left with nowhere to go? How much money does my son give you to play this role with her?"
