Tang Jingyuan gave many reasons that made it impossible for Lu Anning to refuse, and her heart, which had been so hard to resolve, was shaken.
"Do you really have to make me owe you so much?"
From the moment they met, they said it was mutually beneficial, but Lu Anning understood that Tang Jingyuan helped him more. As for that project, even without him, it shouldn't be too difficult for Tang Jingyuan to take it over.
It was just that she happened to seize the opportunity at this time, making it a little easier for him to get it, but she was also getting a salary.
As for what happened afterwards, when she was in danger, he jumped into the sea and risked his life to save her without any hesitation. Lu Anning remembered it all.
This time, he prioritized himself again. There were some feelings between the two that they didn't speak of, but they both knew it.
Tang Jingyuan took a deep breath and hugged Lu Anning in his arms: "If you do this, I will feel that you are reluctant to be separated from me."
He didn't know what Lu An Ning was thinking, but he really didn't want to let her go. However, he didn't want to see her go back with such a worry. Kyoto wasn't far from Jiangcheng, so he could just work harder and travel back and forth.
Lu Anning did not answer Tang Jingyuan, but just hugged him tighter.
Tang Jingyuan made the final decision: "This is settled. Lu Yunxi has your wooden plaque, and now she's the daughter of the Gu family. Have you ever considered that the wooden plaque might be related to the Gu family? You can stay and investigate in this direction. Try to contact the Gu family first to see if you can find anything."
Although Lu An Ning didn't say it, he actually cared deeply about his family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so tolerant of Du Man before. Now that he had discovered something, he might as well seize the opportunity.
"What about the Pei family?"
"I can handle the Pei family's affairs alone, you don't have to worry."
Lu Anning was successfully persuaded by Tang Jingyuan. That night, Tang Jingyuan began to pack up and prepare to go back. He had been away for more than a month, and it was time to go back.
"You really don't need me?"
Watching him packing up his things, Lu An Ning couldn't bear to look away. Before he left, Lu An Ning was already reluctant to let him go.
Tang Jingyuan stopped and looked back at her helplessly: "Don't look at me like that."
"You want to charge money?"
"If you look at me again, I'll want to pack you in the suitcase too."
Lu Anning smiled and walked forward to hug him. It was the first time she was so clingy, and she easily captured Tang Jingyuan's heart. He no longer had the mind to do anything else. He hugged her and fell on the bed. The lights in the room dimmed.
Afraid that he would be reluctant to leave, Tang Jingyuan quietly got up the next morning without waking Lu Anning. When he got into the car, the door opened and he saw the person sitting in the car, he was immediately shocked.
"Are you awake?"
Lu Anning snorted lightly and pulled him into the car.
Tang Jingyuan didn't want to wake her up, but he didn't know that Lu Anning had woken up when he got up. Neither of them liked parting scenes, and after struggling for a while, Lu Anning finally got up quietly, at least to let her get the person on the plane.
As they approached the airport, holding hands, they felt a wave of mixed emotions. There was so much they wanted to say, but they didn't know where to begin.
At this moment, Tang Jingyuan's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Xiang Yang, what's the matter?"
After a while, Tang Jingyuan's face darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "I'm on my way to the airport and will be there this afternoon. Let's talk when I get back!"
Seeing Tang Jingyuan frowning, Lu Anning's heart also began to lift: "What happened?"
"The old man suddenly had a stroke and was hospitalized. I'm afraid the Pei family is going to change. I have to rush back."
Lu Anning's heart sank. They had only been away for a month, and Mr. Pei happened to have an accident at this time. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
"I'm afraid it happened a long time ago. These people are trying to take advantage of my absence to steal the truth. Xiang Yang must have heard the news from the media."
Tang Jingyuan immediately opened the Jiangcheng Financial News and happened to see the latest news about Hongyue Group. In front of the camera, Pei Chengyi was full of vigor and enthusiasm. He had become the new CEO of Hongyue Group overnight and was also going to cooperate with the Shan family.
Tang Jingyuan stared at the screen and raised the corners of his lips: "You are so anxious, are you afraid that you won't have the chance in the future?
Lu Anning looked at Tang Jingyuan with some concern: "Pei Chengyi easily took the position, so what did you do before..."
"Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as you think. Pei Chengyi has to sit firmly in that seat. Let me go back and figure out the situation first!"
Lu Anning wasn't as optimistic as Tang Jingyuan. Pei Chengyi could successfully ascend to the top position in just a month, which showed he had been preparing for it for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity. Right now, Tang Jingyuan seemed somewhat passive.
"Or, I'll go back with you."
Tang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment: "Didn't we agree that you would stay in Kyoto?"
"Jiangcheng is in chaos. Do I want you to face it alone at this time? You have helped me so much, at least let me do something for you."
"You can help me the most by staying in Kyoto and solving your own problems. Don't you believe in my abilities?"
"Of course not. But..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. With Lin Tao helping me and Xiang Yang taking care of the company, the problem will be solved soon. Be obedient!"
It was a chaotic time, and he couldn't let Lu An Ning go back with him. It would be safer for him to stay in Kyoto.
Lu Anning watched Tang Jingyuan hurried through security, feeling uneasy. With the old man in trouble, the Pei family would surely be in turmoil. Every member of the Pei family would be watching closely, all disliking Tang Jingyuan. If he didn't suppress him now, could he handle it all by himself?
Seeing Tang Jingyuan disappear from sight, Lu Anning hesitated to leave. She clenched her fists and turned to walk in another direction.
In the business class, Tang Jingyuan and Lin Tao had already begun discussing and analyzing the current situation in Jiangcheng and had made plans for the worst. When they were talking about the crucial moment, someone came over with coffee.
"Sir, your coffee!"
"I didn't ask for coffee..." After saying this, Tang Jingyuan realized that the voice was wrong. He looked up and saw Lu Anning standing in front of him with a smile.
"An Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Anning smiled and waved the plane ticket in his hand: "I've thought about it and I still can't let you go back alone. If you get kidnapped by some demon, I'll be at a huge loss."
