Tang Jingyuan quickly stepped forward to explain, "In the end, you were overthinking it. She's the younger sister of an old friend of mine. Her resume came into my hands by chance, and only after seeing the information did I realize that she came to Kyoto to study."
"That's all?"
Lu Anning deliberately pretended to be angry and wanted to accuse Tang Jingyuan, but when she saw Tang Jingyuan's nervous look, she couldn't help laughing.
Tang Jingyuan then realized that Lu Anning was teasing her.
Lu An Ning couldn't hold back his laughter any longer, and it took him a while to calm down. He suddenly felt that it was fun to tease him occasionally. It was rare to see him so nervous.
"You're getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to lie to me. Huh?"
Tang Jingyuan tickled Lu Anning all over, and Lu Anning was no match for him, so he quickly begged for mercy.
"I was wrong! I was wrong! Stop making trouble and eat. If I soak it for too long, your kindness will be wasted."
Tang Jingyuan held her in his arms, refusing to let go. Lu Anning had no choice but to kiss him on the cheek. Seeing the greasy stain she had left behind, she smiled even more happily.
Tang Jingyuan didn't get angry and let her do whatever she wanted. Worried that she was hungry, he urged her to eat quickly while talking about Bai Lu.
It turns out that Bai Lu's brother and Tang Jingyuan were very good comrades. However, Tang Jingyuan was selected to carry out a very dangerous mission. It happened that Mr. Tang fell ill, so his comrades took his place and carried out the mission, giving Tang Jingyuan time to go home to visit.
But who would have known that Bailu's brother would never come back, leaving Bailu alone and helpless.
This incident made Tang Jingyuan feel guilty. The brother and sister depended on each other for survival, and the only thing his comrade couldn't let go of was his sister.
"Back then, I promised him that I would take good care of his sister. Over the years, I have been supporting Bai Lu's studies. This girl was admitted to a university in Kyoto, but she didn't tell me. If I hadn't discovered it by chance this time, I wouldn't have known she was looking for an internship in Kyoto."
It was easy for Tang Jingyuan to arrange an internship, even a good job for Bai Lu would be fine.
Tang Jingyuan really couldn't be careless about the grace of saving his life.
"You also met someone today. This girl is simple and has just entered the workplace. I think you should put her in front of you and teach her well."
Lu Anning did not deny it: "A piece of raw jade does indeed require a suitable skilled craftsman to carve it meticulously to create an exquisite jade artifact."
Tang Jingyuan hesitated for a moment: "You know, I only have one assistant, Lin Tao, by my side. Bai Lu is a girl after all. Do you mind?"
Recalling the appearance of Bai Lu he saw today, Lu Anning shook his head confidently. That was not the type that could attract Tang Jingyuan.
"Who you want to train is up to you, don't ask me."
Tang Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't care, but then a complex emotion surged in his heart, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
He deliberately said: "Bai Lu is alone and helpless, I might take care of her a little more in life, do you mind?"
"Of course! It's not easy, little girl. If you can help, I have no objection. It's just a small matter, you decide."
Lu Anning answered easily, as if he really didn't take the matter to heart. Tang Jingyuan felt a little disappointed and didn't mention Bai Lu anymore.
Lu An Ning really didn't take Bai Lu to heart. At this moment, all her focus was on the company.
Tang Jingyuan was finally affected and kept pestering Lu An Ning at night, unwilling to go to sleep. Until the end, Lu An Ning whined and tried several ways to act coquettishly, and finally coaxed Tang Jingyuan to let her go.
In his sleep, Lu Anning hugged Tang Jingyuan and whispered softly: "Jingyuan, I believe you!"
At night, those ink-black eyes were tinged with a smile, and he contentedly hugged the person in his arms and closed his eyes.
In the following days, Bai Lu gradually appeared in Lu An Ning's sight more frequently. At first, Tang Jingyuan only asked Bai Lu to bring some snacks and do some errands.
When I saw her again, Bai Lu looked different from how she looked in the hospital.
Perhaps, it was the light-colored professional attire that made her look more like a white-collar worker. Her light makeup was not very delicate, but it was obvious that she put a lot of effort into it.
It must be because of Tang Jingyuan's advice that I learned to change myself slowly.
The things were placed on the table. Bai Lu kept her head down, not even daring to look Lu An Ning in the eye.
It was still very cold in Kyoto in March, and Bai Lu's hands were slightly red from the cold. Lu An Ning asked Zhong Ling to pour her a cup of hot tea.
"It's so cold, sit down and warm yourself up first. I'll tell your Mr. Tang later that he won't have to send food over so often. It's hard for you to run around, and it's really cold."
In addition to the hot tea, Lu Anning gave her a portion of dessert. Tang Jingyuan bought quite a lot, and she couldn't finish it all by herself.
Bai Lu was panicking and was about to refuse: "This is something Mr. Tang bought specially for you."
"I can't finish this much. I'll get fat if I keep eating this way. Eat it! It's okay."
Lu Anning looked at the frightened Bai Lu in front of him, smiled and shook his head, treating her as just a sister. The sister of Tang Jingyuan's comrade-in-arms, her character couldn't be too bad.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Bai Lu took the food and looked up at Lu An Ning cautiously, full of envy.
"I really envy you!"
Lu Anning raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Your life has just begun. Work hard and you will have a promising future."
Bai Lu agreed with a smile and was about to leave. Lu An Ning remembered something and took out a hand cream from the drawer and handed it to Bai Lu.
"Girls should protect their hands. It would be very uncomfortable if they get frostbite in this weather."
"That's... not so good, right? I can buy it myself."
"It's okay. I have a lot, all prepared by your Mr. Tang."
Bai Lu responded and carefully placed the hand cream in her bag. Without staying long, she turned and left the office.
Lu Anning looked up at Bai Lu for another second. Girls do look prettier when they dress up, but her personality is... too self-deprecating.
