That day, Lu Anning got off work early. After glancing at the date on the calendar, she drove to the mall and came out with a shopping bag in her hand.
She smiled and hid the gift in the car and didn't take it home.
It was still early, so Lu Anning returned the favor and brought some hot tea to pick up Tang Jingyuan after get off work.
When she arrived, she happened to see Bai Lu running out of Tang Jingyuan's office with red eyes. The two of them didn't say hello, and she went straight to the bathroom.
Lu Anning was stunned!
In the office, Tang Jingyuan frowned and looked unhappy.
Lu Anning smiled and brought the hot tea to him: "What's the matter that makes you so angry?"
Tang Jingyuan naturally took her hand, held her in his arms, and sighed.
"Bai Lu! I asked her to stay with Lin Tao and learn things, but instead she's just an intern assistant, running errands for the people below her. She doesn't know how to talk back when she's challenged. Did I ask her to come here just to serve tea and water?"
Tang Jingyuan got angry, and his eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
"Bai Lu, are you feeling a little inferior?"
Speaking of this, Tang Jingyuan felt helpless.
"In the final analysis, this matter is my fault."
If Bai Lu's brother hadn't died, she probably wouldn't have become what she is now. Although he has been supporting Bai Lu's schooling over the years, he can't care about her life like a real brother.
"You can't rush changing her personality; you have to take it slow. First, let her build up her confidence and broaden her horizons. Once she gets used to it, everything will be fine."
When she first arrived at the Lu family and attended a banquet for the first time, she was afraid that others would say that she was an adopted daughter. She was very cautious, just like Bai Lu now. Isn’t she doing well now?
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You said you would give me a surprise tomorrow, what is it?"
"Have you forgotten what day tomorrow is?"
After Lu Anning reminded him, Tang Jingyuan finally remembered that he had never had the habit of celebrating his birthday before, and everyone around him knew it.
"Tomorrow, follow my arrangements."
The Pei family's affairs were over, and Lu Anning didn't want Tang Jingyuan to dwell on the past. He hadn't celebrated his birthday before, and Lu Anning had no control over it. But this was her first birthday with Tang Jingyuan, and it was so significant that she couldn't skip it.
Lu Anning arranged everything in advance and was waiting to get off work tomorrow.
The next morning, they both went to the company in anticipation. Lu Anning acted as a driver to take Tang Jingyuan to the company, and agreed to pick him up on time after get off work.
Perhaps because he had expectations in his heart, Lu Anning felt that this day was particularly difficult.
Seeing that the sky, which was about to clear up, was suddenly covered by dark clouds and began to rain, Lu Anning frowned.
Nothing can affect her plan!
She had left work early to pick up Tang Jingyuan, and there was a little surprise in the car for him. Along the way, Lu Anning was looking forward to the expression on Tang Jingyuan's face when he saw it.
When she arrived at the company, she didn't see Tang Jingyuan, and even Lin Tao and Bai Lu were not there.
Could it be that there is an emergency in the company?
There were no messages or calls from Tang Jingyuan on her phone, so she tried to call him. It took a long time before the other party answered the call.
"Jingyuan, you're not in the company?"
As she finished speaking, she heard the tone of the nurse station bed call coming from the phone.
"Are you in the hospital? Are you okay?" Lu Anning's first reaction was that Tang Jingyuan was not feeling well.
"Don't worry, it's not me. The person who fell ill was Bai Lu. She was hospitalized with a high fever and the doctor said it was severe pneumonia. If I hadn't knocked on her door, she would have passed out in her apartment alone and wouldn't even know she was sick."
"What about her now?"
"I just came out of the emergency room, and the person is still unconscious. I will probably be back later! Otherwise, you go home first. Bai Lu has no relatives, and I can't just leave her alone."
Tang Jingyuan's request was reasonable. In this situation, Lu Anning couldn't ask Tang Jingyuan to leave the hospital and celebrate her birthday with her.
"It's okay. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll go back by myself."
After ending the call, Lu Anning looked up at the drizzling rain outside. His expectations were dashed, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
If you can’t eat out, then go home and celebrate!
It doesn't matter if it's a little late.
Lu An Ning returned home and asked the servants to prepare some dishes that Tang Jingyuan liked. The cake was carefully selected by her and was placed in the middle of the dining table. The surprise in the car was gone. Lu An Ning temporarily arranged the restaurant into a candlelight dinner atmosphere and placed the most exquisite gift where he usually sat.
Everything is ready, just waiting for people to come back.
The hot food gradually cooled down, and there was no movement in the yard. Lu Anning stood in front of the French window, trying to see what was going on outside.
When he saw the car lights flashing, Lu Anning remembered that Tang Jingyuan was not driving and it was raining outside.
Lu Anning called Tang Jingyuan's cell phone again, but was told that it was turned off, so she contacted Lin Tao again.
"Madam, I just got home. Mr. Tang asked me to come back first. Miss Bai, you haven't woken up yet. Didn't Mr. Tang tell you?"
"He turned off his phone."
"Maybe the battery was out and he wasn't paying attention."
"It's okay. Just tell me which hospital he is in and I'll pick him up." Lu An Ning said as he went out with the car keys. Lin Tao didn't think and honestly told him the address.
Lu Anning rushed to the hospital in the rain. In the single room, Tang Jingyuan was sitting in front of the bed, motionless.
She only saw a back figure, and without thinking much, she gently pushed the door open and walked in. Her eyes fell on the two people's tightly clasped hands, and she froze in place.
She shouldn't be here!
