Chapter 16: Misunderstanding 'Surprise'



As night fell, there was a noise at the entrance. It was Tang Jingyuan who had returned.

Lu Anning was busy in the kitchen with an apron on. Tang Jingyuan heard the sound and went over to see the warm noodles in the kitchen.

Lu Anning's long hair was casually tied up. When she lowered her head, a few strands of hair fell down from her temples, blending into the rising heat, a beautiful sight. The aroma of food spread, arousing Tang Jingyuan's appetite. He stood in the aisle, watching intently, feeling a new feeling in his heart.

Lu Anning took a sip of the last of the soup and smiled with satisfaction. When he looked up, his eyes met Tang Jingyuan's.

"You're back!"

Tang Jingyuan was stunned and replied calmly: "Can you cook?"

He was a little surprised. Lu Anning had been spoiled by the Lu family since she was a child, and he never expected that she could cook by herself.

Lu Anning smiled and asked Tang Jingyuan to wash his hands and prepare to eat without any explanation.

Cooking is one of Duman's most basic requirements for her, and she knows a lot.

Tang Jingyuan looked at the table full of nutritious food, a faint smile on his face. After the two of them sat down, Lu Anning looked forward to him trying the food.

Two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a bowl of soup. It looked good. Tang Jingyuan took a sip, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes, but he said calmly, "Not bad."

"You didn't expect that! Are you surprised?"

Tang Jingyuan stared at her: "Is this what you said on the phone, a surprise?"

"Otherwise? Others can't eat the food I cook, but you are different. If it tastes good, eat more. I felt that you didn't eat much during the last meal."

Tang Jingyuan secretly pulled the corner of his mouth. He had been disturbed for the whole afternoon, and the surprise that made him leave work on time was actually Lu Anning cooking for him personally. He thought...

Looking at the dishes on the table again, Tang Jingyuan felt a little disappointed.

This surprise was completely different from what he expected!

"Of course, this is only a small part of the surprise. What comes next is the highlight!"

Tang Jingyuan's interest was piqued again. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Anning: "Oh? What's the point?"

"The point is, tomorrow night, would you please do me the honor of accompanying me to Haiyue Tower for dinner?" Lu Anning extended his hand to Tang Jingyuan and invited him, "How about I take you to see a play?"

"That's it?"

Lu Anning added, "I've made an appointment with an elder of mine who's helped me before and controls the largest raw material supply channel in Jiangcheng. I gave him a 0.5 percentage point discount to negotiate a project for the Number One Academy. I'll save you money! How's that?"

Tang Jingyuan was a little surprised. The complete plan had not yet come out, and even he was not 100% sure that he would win the No. 1 Academy project. She seemed to be sure that it was a sure thing and had even found a supplier of raw materials.

"You're thinking long-term. Aren't you afraid of making a mistake? Jiang Feng probably hasn't agreed to your request yet, has he?"

Lu Anning was equally shocked: "How do you know who I'm looking for? Strike first, then gain the upper hand. I'm confident enough, so of course I have to prepare for a rainy day."

Tang Jingyuan chuckled. He originally thought he was a workaholic, but the wife he married turned out to be just like him.

"Uncle Jiang is a good man and has helped me before. It's mutually beneficial. The important thing is that I took away the people from Lu's original project team. My adoptive father will definitely be worried."

She could guess what Lu Zhenghao's purpose was in gathering those uncles and aunts for dinner.

"Okay! I'll go with you." Tang Jingyuan thought for a moment and then relented.

Just consider it as payment for this meal and give Lu An Ning a chance.

The meal was quite pleasant, but in the evening, based on previous experience, as soon as Tang Jingyuan got into bed, Lu Anning instinctively moved to the side and looked at Tang Jingyuan warily.

Tang Jingyuan frowned. This woman was turning her back on him.

He suddenly turned over and pressed Lu Anning down: "You want to tear down the bridge before you even cross the river?"

Lu Anning placed her hands on Tang Jingyuan's chest and smiled awkwardly: "Too much indulgence is bad for your health. Should we take a day off?"

Tang Jingyuan's fighting ability was too strong, and Lu Anning was a little overwhelmed. She had been busy all day and was really tired today.

Tang Jingyuan looked at the pitiful person in his arms and rarely obeyed and let her go.

Lu An Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered softly, "I don't know who said he wasn't interested in women. Nonsense!"

Mr. Pei San is not indifferent to women, he just indulges them every day.

After a dreamless night, Lu Anning went to work the next day in high spirits. His first day on the job went by quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time to meet Tang Jingyuan for dinner at Haiyue Tower. As the workday was about to end, Lu Anning received a letter from Jiang Feng and set off for Haiyue Tower on time.

As the lights came on, all kinds of luxury cars were parked in front of Haiyue Tower. Lu Zhenghao had arrived at the store early and arranged everything, just waiting for the guests for tonight's banquet to arrive. In addition to the business friends he had known over the years, the most important one was his future son-in-law, Pei Chengyi.

The others gradually arrived in the private room and saw Lu Zhenghao's flattery. They all knew that the Lu family was now attached to the Pei family and was no longer the same as before. They came mainly because of Pei Chengyi.

Although he is currently just an illegitimate child, he is still a member of the Pei family. If they can make some friends with him, it will be of great benefit to them in the future.

When Lu Zhenghao was chatting and laughing with the guests, Pei Chengyi and Lu Yunxi arrived. Seeing Pei Chengyi, everyone felt relieved.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone took their seats. The flattering opening instantly livened up the atmosphere in the private room. Jiang Feng followed suit and secretly connected with Lu Anning.

When Lu Anning received the WeChat call, he and Tang Jingyuan had just arrived at Haiyue Tower.

"So fast." She answered the phone and walked into Haiyue Tower with Tang Jingyuan. The waiter respectfully led them to the exclusive box and walked out without looking around.

Lu An Ning closed the door, turned on the external speaker, and presented the treasure to Tang Jingyuan: "The show has begun!"
