Professor An's incense quickly took effect. Ji Yan's condition had improved significantly after just two days of use. However, she was too concerned about her reputation to admit in front of everyone that she had used the incense Lu An Ning had given her. She insisted that it was Aunt Zhao who had ordered it without her knowledge.
Gu Yu didn't say anything, but tried to persuade her a few more times. Ji Yan agreed reluctantly and then agreed to let Gu Yu help her get more spices.
Even if Gu Yu went to find Professor An in person, he did not have the confidence to ask Professor An to make incense. After thinking about it, the easiest way was to go back to Lu An Ning and Tang Jingyuan.
Lu Anning didn't know where Gu Yu got two boxes of fresh hairy crabs in the middle of winter. When she saw him and Tang Jingyuan standing at the company door waiting for her, Lu Anning felt that she was extremely happy at that moment.
Both my brother and husband are so handsome. This is a life that many sisters envy.
Lu Anning walked over with a smile, and saw through Gu Yu's purpose at a glance, but did not say it out loud.
Seeing that it was gradually about to rain heavily and the wind was cold, the three of them greeted each other briefly, and Lu Anning's eyes fell on the hairy crabs that Gu Yu was holding.
"You suddenly sent me such good food?"
"When was I not okay?"
"Then I'll let you come to my house for dinner!"
Gu Yu laughed and gave Lu An Ning a blank look. The three of them got into their cars and drove towards Bixi Bay.
At home, Wang Ma had already prepared the meal, waiting for them to come back and adding a dish of hairy crab, which Lu Anning liked.
As the weather was getting colder, I returned home and felt warm, and I felt a lot more energetic.
As usual, Aunt Wang brought out the hot tea she had prepared, and the three of them sat around the fireplace by the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking tea and chatting. It was such a pleasant moment.
Gu Yu was wondering when to explain his purpose, and Lu An Ning no longer hid it.
"I know why you came to me! I gave you two boxes of hairy crabs in exchange for the professor's tranquilizing incense. I'm at a loss!"
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Okay! If you like anything later, I'll pay for it."
"That's not necessary. This was originally prepared for her, waiting for you to come and pick it up. If I give it to her, she might drop it again, and I'm too lazy to bring bad luck upon herself."
Gu Yu heard the displeasure in Lu Anning's words and was obviously still angry about what happened last time.
He sighed softly, "Mom was wrong about what happened last time. I apologize to you on her behalf. I know you won't take it personally, but my brother and I are still on your side. Ayue, this is the last time. From now on, if she targets you like this again, I'll ignore her, okay?"
Lu An Ning didn't believe what he said: "Among the brothers, you are the closest to her. I don't believe this."
She smiled, a hint of bitterness flashing in her eyes.
It was because she knew that Gu Yu had the softest heart that he could tolerate Lu Yunxi. If he knew that Ji Yan was the murderer who killed their biological mother, she wondered how he would accept it.
"Mom's attitude towards you was indeed a bit too much. I will communicate with her when I have the chance."
"Collusion doesn't mean change. Besides, you can't change her. Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore. The incense is ready. You can take it back later. If you're not sure, check it again."
Gu Yu quickly said, "No need! How could there be any problem with your things?"
"You think so, but others may not."
Lu Anning smiled slightly, not afraid that Ji Yan would investigate the problem with Xiang, because there was nothing wrong with Xiang itself, the one with the real problem was herself.
That day, Gu Yu stayed at Bixi Bay until very late. They were still drinking tea when Ji Yan called. From a distance, Lu Anning could vaguely hear Ji Yan asking about the tranquilizing incense.
Gu Yu responded in a low voice: "I got it. I'll be back later."
"Check it out to see if it's the same incense as last time. I'll feel relieved only after you've checked it."
Gu Yu patiently agreed, fearing that Lu An Ning might be upset by hearing something unpleasant, so he quickly hung up the phone. Looking up, he saw both Lu An Ning and Tang Jing Yuan looking at him, so he had to smile to cover up the awkwardness.
Tang Jingyuan smiled faintly and said, "I heard everything! Actually, if she doesn't believe it, there's no need to force it. After all, this thing was made by Ningning herself, and it wasn't an easy task. If she doesn't use it, it's okay to keep it for when Ningning needs it. It just so happens that Grandpa hasn't been sleeping well recently, so I think..."
As Tang Jingyuan spoke, he reached out for the box of incense, and Gu Yu subconsciously pressed it.
"Jingyuan, Mom doesn't mean to distrust you."
"Then just now..."
"These incense sticks all look the same, she's afraid I'll be careless and pick the wrong one."
"Okay. Take your stuff back. It's so late, I won't keep you any longer. Let's chat for a while, or the phone will ring again."
Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan sent Gu Yu to the door together. Watching him drive away, Lu Anning took a deep breath. After a while, a white mist dissipated from his sight.
Tang Jingyuan hid her hand in his pocket: "Come in! It's getting colder."
Lu Anning responded with a smile and was led into the house by Tang Jingyuan.
The weather forecast said it might snow tonight. She thought Ji Yan should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.
As she expected, snow had already begun to fall before Gu Yu returned home. Ji Yan was already waiting at the door. When she saw him return, she snatched the box from his hand.
“How long will this last?”
"That's enough for ten days. Mom, remember, don't order too many. Only one at night."
"Got it." Ji Yan waved her hand impatiently, opened the box lovingly, and took a deep breath. The familiar smell gradually calmed her restless heart, and she finally felt a little more at ease.
Tonight, she can sleep well again.
Gu Yu watched his mother happily walk away with the box in her arms, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. He felt that his mother seemed to be calmer, but something was a little off.
I hope he is just thinking too much.
