Lu Anning arrived at the JK office building at the agreed time, but Tang Jingyuan did not come out.
It was almost time for dinner, and Lu Anning thought that Tang Jingyuan was so busy that he had forgotten the time, so he simply went upstairs to wait for him.
The lady at the front desk recognized Lu Anning's identity at a glance, and respectfully opened the exclusive elevator for her and sent her up.
She is the real daughter of the Gu Group and the boss's beloved wife, so they dare not neglect her.
As Lu Anning walked out of the elevator, he heard some noise coming from the secretary's office.
"I don't know what happened, it hurts so bad all of a sudden. I'll be fine after drinking some hot water, don't worry about me. Maybe it's a stomachache and I forgot to eat breakfast."
Lu Anning couldn't think of any other possible source for this delicate voice except Bai Lu.
Lu Anning walked over quickly and saw Bai Lu holding Tang Jingyuan's sleeve tightly with one hand and refusing to let go, while saying that she was fine and asked everyone to leave her alone.
Lin Tao frowned, not knowing where to start.
Tang Jingyuan pursed his lips and tried to pull his hand away, but Bai Lu held it even tighter.
"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry! I...I'll be fine after a while."
She was weak and about to lean into Tang Jingyuan's arms.
At the door, Lu Anning lowered his eyes, took two steps at a time, and stood in front of Tang Jingyuan.
The two men were startled, not knowing when Lu An Ning came up. Lu An Ning curled his lips and let Bai Lu lean on him without saying a word.
Bai Lu was still unaware, and seeing that she wasn't pushed away, she grabbed Tang Jingyuan's hand and naturally wrapped it around his waist, lost in her own fantasy. However, as soon as she hugged him, she realized something was wrong.
This waist is too thin and soft, it doesn't look like a man's.
Tang Jingyuan has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, so this shouldn't be the feeling!
Moreover, the material of this dress...
Bai Lu realized something was wrong and looked up suddenly, bumping into Lu An Ning's gentle smile. Her scalp suddenly went numb and she pushed him away without thinking.
"Why is it you?"
"Weren't you feeling well just now? Your stomachache is gone so quickly?"
The tea was full of tea flavor. Fortunately, she came up. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.
Bai Lu realized something and immediately covered her stomach again.
"Madam, I'm really in pain. How could I possibly lie to you about my health? Forget it! It's my fault for having a stomachache at this time, delaying Mr. Tang and Madam's lunch. I'm really fine. Drink some hot water, lie down for a while, and I'll be fine after it passes."
Bai Lu leaned weakly on the table, looking so frail that she seemed like she would break at any moment.
Tang Jingyuan frowned. Stomachache is no joke.
"Assistant Lin, please take Bai Lu to the hospital."
"Okay, Mr. Tang!"
Lu Anning glanced at Bai Lu and reminded Tang Jingyuan with a smile, "Bai Lu is an intern. She's so young and already has aches and pains. Why don't you just give her some time off and let her go to the hospital for a full-body checkup to see what's wrong? If there's any problem, get it cured as soon as possible so she can work better. Until then, let her go home and rest! What do you think?"
Lu Anning winked at Tang Jingyuan, and Tang Jingyuan immediately understood what she meant.
"You're really thoughtful. Let's go to the private hospital under the company's name. Lin Tao, you can make the arrangements and I'll pay for it. Cure Bai Lu's illness and let her come back to work. You can go back and take good care of yourself these days."
When Bai Lu heard this, she knew that if she went back to recuperate, she wouldn't even be able to see Tang Jingyuan.
Now that she comes to the company, she has no chance to get close to Tang Jingyuan. If she goes back, she will never see him again.
"Mr. Tang, actually, I just have a minor illness. There's no need to make a big fuss. I just drank some hot water and I feel much better. I really want to eat now. There's no need to go to the hospital."
"That won't work either. Stomach problems can be serious or minor. Lin Tao, take Bai Lu to the hospital for a gastroscopy. There's no need to save money for me."
After Tang Jingyuan gave the order, he pulled Lu An Ning away without giving Bai Lu a chance to refute.
In the elevator, Tang Jingyuan let Lu Anning laugh as much as he wanted, with only doting in his eyes.
"Why bother with her!"
Lu Anning suddenly imitated Bai Lu's stomachache and threw herself weakly into Tang Jingyuan's arms.
"I just have a stomachache. I'm fine. Drink some hot water and it will be fine after a while. Ugh! She said she was fine, but her hands were holding you tightly. If it weren't for me, she would have already leaned in your arms."
"Not really."
"If she pretends to faint, will you just watch her fall to the ground and not do anything about it?"
Tang Jingyuan was speechless, remembering a similar situation before. He smiled helplessly and coaxed her in a low voice: "Don't be angry. From now on, I will let Lin Tao handle her affairs directly."
Lu Anning sighed softly: "I'm not angry, I just can't stand Bai Lu's disgusting behavior. Forget it, let's not talk about this."
If we continue, we will be back to that unsolvable knot.
If she wanted Tang Jingyuan to feel at ease, she would have to have a lively brother.
Fortunately, Bailu did not affect their mood for lunch. The atmosphere was pleasant and both of them ate a lot. When Lu Anning mentioned going back to Gu's house for dinner in the evening, he felt a little confused.
"What could be going on when you ask us to go back for dinner?"
Lu Anning thought about it all the way but still couldn't come up with a definite answer. Now he asked Tang Jingyuan again. He always felt that his father had some purpose in asking them to go back for dinner.
Tang Jingyuan was confident: "Your identity has been revealed. Next, we will probably talk about the wedding of the two families."
Gu Zhiwei had revealed this idea as early as the banquet that day, but he did not say it to Tang Jingyuan specifically. Instead, he told several friends who were on good terms with him. It seemed like a joke, but it didn't seem completely fake.
After listening to it several times, Tang Jingyuan understood Gu Zhiwei's intention. In fact, those words were meant for him.
When it comes to weddings, the most important thing, of course, is the betrothal gift offered by the man.
Lu Anning understood immediately and frowned: "I'll refuse now and say I have something to do tonight."
If we talk about these things, she has no interest at all.
Tang Jingyuan stopped her and said, "If you decline this dinner invitation, you will find a chance to tell me next time. This is because the Tang family must give face to the Gu family, and it also shows our respect for you. We can't refuse. With so many eyes watching, how can we do it casually?"
Lu Anning was silent. To save face, he had to give out a lot of things.
