The noise in the living room did not affect Lu An Ning. He could only hear Bai Lu asking questions from time to time, and they were all simple questions.
Tang Jingyuan treated everyone impartially and did not discriminate against anyone.
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Lu Anning reminded him, "Jingyuan, it's time to eat. Let's get back to work after we finish eating! Special Assistant Lin and Miss Bai should come too!"
Lin Tao quickly waved his hands: "This...is not appropriate!"
Bai Luyu opened her mouth and said the same thing as Lin Tao.
"Let's eat it together! There's nothing inappropriate about it."
Tang Jingyuan relaxed, and Lin Tao and Bai Lu did not refuse.
During the meal, Tang Jingyuan took care of Lu An Ning in every possible way, either picking up dishes or serving soup. He even peeled the crayfish she loved and placed it in front of her.
"I was tired last night. I'll eat more today to make up for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu An Ning noticed the strange gazes. He looked up and saw Bai Lu, who was sitting across from him, eating with her head down. However, she looked absent-minded and didn't try to hide it at all.
Tang Jingyuan took too much food and Lu Anning couldn't finish it. As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Tang Jingyuan took over.
Lu Anning was stunned when he saw him take his bowl.
"What are you doing with my bowl?"
Tang Jingyuan didn't answer, but just put the uneaten food in her bowl into his own mouth. Not only Bai Lu, but even Lu Anning was stunned.
"This is what I left over. If you want to eat it, there's still some left, right?"
Tang Jingyuan looked at Lu Anning with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
"The one in your bowl tastes better, don't you know?"
Lu Anning's ears flushed, and she could only drink tea to hide her embarrassment. She couldn't stand the look in his eyes.
She knew that Tang Jingyuan had done this on purpose for Bai Lu to see, wanting her to see the situation clearly and discard those inappropriate thoughts. Lu Anning glanced at Bai Lu unintentionally, a hint of resentment in her lowered eyes.
I'm afraid it won't be that easy to make her give up.
What a waste of food on the table; for Bai Lu, it tasted like chewing wax. After finishing the meal, her face looked even uglier than before, and she was completely out of sorts.
He is Mr. Tang San, how can he eat the leftovers of other women and enjoy it?
No matter how dumb Bai Lu was, she understood that the reason they asked her to come here today was to study, but in fact they wanted her to recognize her place.
She stared at the man who was chatting and laughing with Lu An Ning not far away, and her heart was torn into pieces.
Do you have to be so cruel to her?
I want her to give up. No way!
She clenched her fists and walked forward with a smile, but before she reached Tang Jingyuan, she was stopped by Lin Tao.
"Boss Tang just told me that today's work is over and we can go back. I'll take you there!"
"Can we go now?"
Bai Lu looked at Tang Jingyuan, but unfortunately, Tang Jingyuan only had eyes for Lu Anning. In the morning, he had clearly said that there was still a lot of work to do today, so why did he not have to continue working now that Lu Anning was here?
Bai Lu was half-dragged and half-pulled out of the villa by Lin Tao, feeling unwilling. After getting into the car, her face completely fell.
She lowered her head and murmured, "Assistant Lin, is Lu Anning really that good?"
Lin Tao's eyes turned and he smiled, "Of course! Madam and Mr. Tang are destined to be together. They have been through a lot together, and no one can replace them. Think about it, what kind of relationship can withstand the hardships of life and death? They are lovers who have experienced life and death together."
"Experiencing life and death..."
"Yes! The young master also respects the lady. You are still young. When you really meet someone who loves you, you will understand that fate is predestined and cannot be forced."
Bai Lu looked at Lin Tao and realized that he was hinting at something, and the smile on her face froze.
Lin Tao personally sent her back to the downstairs of the community, watched her go upstairs, and then contacted Tang Jingyuan.
"Third Master, I've told you everything you told me. Judging from her reaction, she should have understood."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Jingyuan put the phone aside and continued working.
Wang Ma told him everything that happened on the day she took the clothes. Bai Lu's arrogant look on the surveillance video seemed unfamiliar to him.
If she wasn't Bai Yue's sister. If I didn't owe the Bai family a life...
Back then, Bai Yue had been gone for three years. Just when he was about to complete his mission, he was burned to death and his body was never found. In the end, only the ring he always carried with him was found.
He turned around and took out a shiny silver ring from the safe embedded in the bookcase behind him, and the past events came to his mind vividly.
Over the years, in addition to being busy with the Pei family's affairs, he has never given up investigating the cause of Bai Yue's death. However, his current status is different, and there are some things he cannot interfere too much.
Moreover, he is no longer alone now.
Coming to his senses, Tang Jingyuan put the ring back in its place. He turned on his computer and, as usual, opened the long-forgotten website and logged into his account. Still, there was a dead silence.
He smiled self-deprecatingly. If he was still alive after all these years, how could he not come back!
After closing the webpage, Tang Jingyuan put away all his emotions and continued to handle JK's daily work as usual, as if everything that had just happened had never happened.
Lu An Ning slipped in with some cut fruit. When she looked up, she vaguely noticed that he had a hint of decadence.
Tang Jingyuan heard the noise and looked up at her. The dejection in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by tenderness.
"Why are you here?"
"See if you've been slacking off. Are you in trouble?"
Tang Jingyuan shook his head: "No. Why do you ask?"
Lu Anning smiled and said, "That's nothing."
Could it be that she had just seen it wrong?
Aunt Wang knocked on the door. "Third Master, Madam, the Gu family sent over a few dresses, saying they're for the banquet."
The two looked at each other. They had such an unpleasant quarrel at the Gu family yesterday, but today, they sent a dress over, acting as if nothing had happened.
Lu Anning raised an eyebrow: "Go and take a look?"
