"Why are you here at this hour?"
"Take you to dinner."
Lu Anning glanced at the time. It was a bit too early to have dinner at this time!
"I still have a lot of paperwork to process, so I'll probably have to work overtime tonight. Find someone else!"
Tang Jingyuan offered his services but was rejected, and immediately frowned. He stretched out his long arm and took the documents from Lu Anning's hand while she was not paying attention, putting them aside.
"I'm here, do you want to see the documents?"
"Or else?" Lu An Ning raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Look at you, will the money come to you on its own?"
Tang Jingyuan didn't like to hear this.
"sure."
"Stop it. Mr. Tang is so busy, don't waste your time here with me."
Mr. Tang?
Tang Jingyuan frowned even more tightly!
There were no outsiders here, yet she actually called herself "Mr. Tang." No wonder Zhong Ling prepared chrysanthemum tea for her.
"Still angry?"
Lu Anning didn't respond.
"What happened yesterday wasn't what you thought. At least give me a chance to explain! It's my fault for wasting your kindness. So, I came here today to make amends."
Lu Anning turned his face away: "The birthday has already passed, what is there to make up for it."
Tang Jingyuan smiled lightly, walked around to Lu Anning and hugged her.
"I was wrong! I should have told you the situation in advance and asked for your consent. I shouldn't have wasted your painstaking arrangements. Bai Lu's brother and I are close friends, and his sister is also my sister. I was just worried that something might happen to her!"
Tang Jingyuan just wants to have a clear conscience!
Lu Anning didn't expect Tang Jingyuan to bow his head and apologize to him for this. In public, he never took anyone seriously.
What's more, Tang Jingyuan had already informed Bai Lu of the situation. If she continued to dwell on this matter, it would make her seem too petty.
If you think about it carefully, it was the collision of many coincidences that led to yesterday's situation.
"never mind."
Lu An Ning didn't want to be hard on himself, so he sighed and didn't want to care about it anymore.
Tang Jingyuan continued to explain: "What you saw last night was Bai Lu's dream. She dreamed of her deceased brother."
"Your comrade?"
Tang Jingyuan nodded!
Lu An Ning could probably guess the whole story. She probably dreamed of a parting scene. The little girl mistook Tang Jingyuan for her relative. Unfortunately, she saw this scene again.
The picture is too easy to arouse people's wild imagination, but the facts are reasonable.
Once the explanation is clear, the matter will be over.
It was a pity that they missed the dinner she had carefully prepared yesterday and the little surprise in the car, and they also missed their first birthday after marriage.
"The first time I missed you was an accident. From now on, you will spend every birthday with me."
From now on, every birthday...
These words were deeply imprinted in Lu Anning's mind. She looked at Tang Jingyuan in a daze and did not dare to make a promise easily.
Lu Anning was coaxed into submission by Tang Jingyuan. Everyone thought they would have to work overtime, but in the end they all returned home on time without any major incidents.
Zhong Ling watched them leave and couldn't help but laugh, "It's still the Third Master who has to take action."
Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan went to a private kitchen to make up for last night's birthday.
At the end of the asphalt road is an antique Chinese courtyard with a sign at the door that reads: Yang’s Private Kitchen.
The person who greeted us at the door was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was wearing a navy blue Tang suit and had a kind smile.
"Young Master San!" He greeted politely, his eyes lingering on Lu An Ning for a moment, then quickly moved away without asking any more questions.
"Uncle Yang, this is my wife, An Ning."
Uncle Yang's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement: "You didn't come yesterday, and I thought you wouldn't come this year. Turns out you wanted to give me a surprise."
Tang Jingyuan smiled and said, "Let's have some of your specialties this year! Thank you for your hard work."
"You're so polite, Little Third Master. I'm glad you can come."
Lu Anning followed Tang Jingyuan all the way inside. In the courtyard, there were mountains and water. In the exquisite pond, several small koi were swimming happily, which had a bit of Jiangnan flavor.
“Do you come here every year?”
Lu Anning sat down with Tang Jingyuan and looked around. This place had a good environment, far better than those seemingly high-end restaurants outside. However, when she entered, there were not many people. Presumably, a place like this would not easily accommodate strangers.
"Uncle Yang only receives those who please him. There aren't many people here, and the food tastes good. You can try it later. Uncle Yang took good care of me. Later, I went to Jiangcheng to develop my career. Every year on my birthday, I would come back here to eat. It became a habit."
No wonder!
Not long after, several dishes were served. One of them was the spicy drunken crab, which was said to be the most popular.
In addition, there is Lu Anning’s favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.
However, the taste of these ribs was different, sweet and sour with a hint of spiciness, just right, which whetted Lu Anning's appetite.
A bowl of seafood soup, fresh and delicious. After a few mouthfuls, Lu Anning couldn't stop eating. There was a light in his eyes, and there was no sign of unhappiness at all.
Halfway through the meal, Uncle Yang brought over a bowl of longevity noodles.
"Even though it's over, I still have to prepare this for you. Happy birthday, Little Third Master!"
"Thank you, Uncle Yang, for your consideration."
Uncle Yang smiled and said, "Then you guys eat, I won't disturb you. If it's not enough, I'll make something else."
Lu Anning was so happy with the meal that he made up for the dinner he had last night.
After eating and drinking, Tang Jingyuan took out the gift that Lu Anning had prepared.
"You have to put this gift on me yourself."
When Lu Anning saw that the gift she had left in the restaurant was somehow taken out of Tang Jingyuan's arms, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she rolled her eyes at him.
This man is being pretentious.
"Why don't you just wear it yourself?"
"Of course I want you to bring me the gift you prepared for me."
The thing was pushed in front of him. Lu Anning picked up the cufflinks with a smile and was about to help him put them on when Tang Jingyuan's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting their interaction.
Tang Jingyuan stared at the name on the screen, frowned, and hesitated to answer.
Lu Anning noticed something was wrong and asked, "Why didn't you answer?"
