Gu Yu stared at the figure not far away and smiled bitterly.
"When did I ever say I'd go back to my ex? Liu Lin and I weren't meant to be married. If we were to force ourselves to be together, we'd have countless arguments in the future. It's fine the way it is now."
Lu Anning looked at him suspiciously: "But I see that you are a little depressed!"
He has been silent the whole time. Isn't it because he feels bad seeing his ex-girlfriend with someone new?
"I didn't say anything because I don't know as much about the lab as they do. Of course, I have to be more humble in areas I'm not very good at."
"You're a master of traditional Chinese medicine. I'm not used to you being so humble all of a sudden."
Gu Yu rolled his eyes at Lu An Ning. "Are you sure you're not making fun of me? Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine, compared to Professor An, I still have a lot to learn."
As he spoke, he looked towards the figure in front, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.
"You seem to have a very good relationship with Professor An! Did you notice that she seems particularly kind?"
Lu Anning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The professor is kind, and everyone probably feels that way."
"Maybe!"
Gu Yu just felt that seeing her would make him feel much better. This might be the professor's unique personal charm!
That night, Lu Anning received a video call from Ding Wan, who specifically wanted to show her the dress sent by the professor.
To be precise, it is a milky green fishtail cheongsam with pearl flowers on it.
Lu Anning laughed at her: "You successfully disguised yourself as a lady from a wealthy family."
If Ding Wan didn't speak, she would really look like a standard lady from a noble family. When she first met her, she was deceived by Ding Wan's disguise.
"Tell me, with my high collar and hip-hugging, doesn't it give me a unique sense of abstinence? If your brother saw it..."
On the screen, Ding Wan blushed suddenly, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Their laughter could be heard from the room. Lu An Ning jokingly said, "Why don't you put it on and show it to him first? It'll be enough to charm him away."
“Good idea!”
Lu Anning said it casually, but he didn't expect Ding Wanzhen to hang up the phone.
Lu Anning was stunned. Is he so proactive?
Tang Jingyuan just came out of the bathroom and saw Lu Anning staring at his phone in a daze.
"What are you thinking about!"
When Lu Anning came to her senses, she saw Tang Jingyuan walking towards her.
The light grey bathrobe was tied loosely on him, revealing a large area of honey-colored skin on his chest, with a few drops of water hanging on it just right. The open collar went all the way down, and the texture of his muscles could be vaguely seen.
Very tempting picture!
Lu Anning stared straight at it, his blood boiling and his breathing quickened.
He really didn't mean it?
"Does it look good?"
Lu Anning swallowed and quickly turned his face away: "I don't know what you are talking about."
A snicker came from above her head, and warm fingers gently brushed past her ear, lifting a strand of hair by her ear. Her red ears betrayed her.
"It's not like you haven't seen it before. Don't you like it very much?"
He smiled and took Lu Anning's hand and placed it on his chest.
"Tsk! Third Master, you seduced me on purpose."
"So you're not taking the bait yet! Are you not happy with me?"
Lu Anning smiled and hugged him: "It's okay!"
"Just okay? It seems I'm not trying hard enough."
Before Lu An Ning could explain, Tang Jingyuan had already covered her mouth.
Lu Anning held Tang Jingyuan in her arms and retreated all the way until she fell on the bed, her ears filled with his heavy breathing.
Lust filled his deep eyes, and Lu An Ning stopped him.
"I haven't tried on the dress yet!"
"No need to try, you look good in anything."
He hooked his lips and placed a warm kiss on her ear, his explicit words making her blush.
The room gradually darkened, leaving only a faint warm light, which gradually turned red in the night...
The next day, at the charity dinner, Lu Anning, wearing a cream-colored Chinese-style dress, walked into the banquet hall arm in arm with Tang Jingyuan. The venue was filled with aristocratic families and dignitaries. Those businessmen who usually loved to show up had to keep a low profile at this time, and each of them had a flattering smile on their face.
Everyone knew that charity was only one aspect of the equation; the most important thing was making friends with the powerful. At this level, money was no longer a big deal to those present.
In the crowd, Lu Anning spotted Fang Le and Zhou Yao, whom he hadn't seen for a while. They were chatting with their familiar uncles and aunts. Seeing Tang Jingyuan coming, everyone looked over at them.
Tang Jingyuan took Lu Anning over and politely greeted several elders.
Everyone respected Mr. Tang and admired Tang Jingyuan's skills. Although they were younger than him, they were all polite to Tang Jingyuan and no one dared to show disrespect in front of him.
Lu Anning smiled politely, thinking that the matter would be over. Unexpectedly, one of the uncles suddenly mentioned Lu Anning's name.
"I heard that Mrs. Tang and Professor An have a very good relationship. And she must be someone that the Third Master has set his eyes on. She is indeed completely different from an ordinary rich girl."
"Uncle Wang, you're so kind! I just got along well with the professor and chatted with him a few more times."
The other person laughed heartily. "Don't be so modest in front of us! We all know that Professor An is an excellent doctor. I heard she'll be coming tonight. I'm wondering if you could ask your niece to recommend a doctor or two. My wife has been suffering from insomnia for years. We've tried everything, but it's not getting better. I'd like to ask Professor An for help. You can ask for anything you want."
Lu Anning smiled awkwardly. With so many uncles present, she was afraid that if she agreed, the others would follow suit. She either agreed to all of them, or none of them.
Wang Guangyuan saw that Lu Anning was slow to respond, and there was some impatience in his tone.
"Niece-in-law, you won't refuse to do me this little favor, will you?"
Aside, Tang Jingyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, you think too highly of Ningning. How can she influence the professor's decision? You also know how busy the professor is every day. Ningning, is my second brother in Kyoto recently?"
Lu Anning immediately responded, "Yes! Uncle Wang, my second brother is away recently, and Auntie is feeling unwell. Let's make an appointment for my second brother to see her and prescribe some medicine for her. What do you think?"
