"Have you heard? Project Team Leader He is pursuing the newcomer Lu Anning. I don't know when they hooked up."
"I knew she was restless from the beginning. She'd only been at the company for a short time, and she'd already caused such a big commotion. She's now a contributing member of the company. If you dare to criticize her, be careful she'll tell Mr. Tang and have you fired. Don't you know this? Mr. Tang is also very concerned about her. We can't afford to offend someone like her."
"No way! She still dares to think about President Tang?"
"She comes from a wealthy family, has lived a good life, and has big ambitions! She might have joined the company just to be with Mr. Tang."
Two female employees left the restroom, chatting and laughing, completely unaware that their conversation was clearly overheard by the person in charge. Lu Anning emerged from the cubicle, her expression normal. A tall tree attracts the wind, so she didn't take these rumors to heart.
Lu Anning continued working as usual, ignoring the gossip. But at this moment, He Xun came to her again.
When the bright red roses were delivered to Lu Anning's workstation, they caused quite a stir. The entire department looked over curiously. Lu Anning glanced at the signature on the card and frowned. She glanced in He Xun's direction and saw him busy with his own affairs as if nothing had happened. She curled her lips.
Lu Anning kept quiet and was about to contact He Xun privately when he got there first. He sent a WeChat message asking, "How's it going? Do you like the bouquet? The new music restaurant on the commercial street is delicious. Should we go try it tonight?"
Lu Anning's slender fingers danced across the screen as she texted: "I'll return the flowers to you after work. Team Leader He, no matter what your intentions are, please don't do things like this that could easily lead to misunderstandings. This won't happen again!"
He Xun's expression changed when he saw Lu Anning buried in her work. He thought it was Lu Anning's reservedness as a woman. Maybe it scared her, but he thought that at this moment, he couldn't back down.
He didn't bother Lu An Ning anymore, but just blocked her at the corner downstairs of the company building when she was getting off work.
Lu Anning stuffed the flowers back into He Xun's arms and looked at him expressionlessly: "Team Leader He, please don't do this kind of thing again in the future to avoid embarrassment."
"The company doesn't explicitly forbid office romances. Can't you see that? I like you and I want to pursue you. What's so embarrassing about this?"
"Sorry! You're not my type. I think there's no chance of a relationship between us." Lu Anning took a half step back and distanced himself from He Xun.
He Xun was unwilling to give up and approached with flowers in his hands: "How do you know it's impossible if you don't try! Feelings can be cultivated. If you get to know her more, you might fall in love with her. I'm still quite popular in the company."
Lu Anning smiled slightly and politely declined: "Since Team Leader He has so many options, why does he have to look for me? I think there should be many female employees who are willing to date you. You can try to find them. I can't do it."
He Xun didn't expect to be rejected. His inner desire to conquer was aroused. He asked unwillingly, "Why can't you? I don't like other people. I really like you."
"I really don't like you either." Lu An Ning maintained a polite smile, his patience almost running out.
He Xun frowned. "You're not really into Mr. Tang, are you? I know you grew up in a wealthy family and your standards are higher than those of ordinary girls, but you have to face the facts now. You've been kicked out of the Lu family and are now just an ordinary person with no background. You'll never be able to reach a man like Mr. Tang, who stands tall in the clouds. It's better to be more realistic."
Lu Anning looked at He Xun in surprise. He had thought he was a nice guy, but unexpectedly, he thought the same as those people.
"It doesn't matter who I fall for. No matter who I am, I won't like someone like you. Get out of the way!"
Lu Anning lost his patience and no longer cared about He Xun's face. He pushed him away and left without looking back.
He Xun angrily threw the rose to the ground and looked at the direction where Lu An Ning left. He became more and more unwilling to give up and chased after her.
At the intersection, he saw Lu Anning get into a black Maybach from a distance, and he subconsciously took a picture of the scene. The car door closed and drove away. He deliberately enlarged the photo, staring at the familiar license plate number and frowning. This was Tang Jingyuan's car.
He stood there with a gloomy face. No wonder he was rejected. It turned out that he really hooked up with the boss.
Bah! He's blind.
In the car, Lu Anning leaned against the back seat and let out a long breath. He didn't expect He Xun to pester him. A man's sarcastic voice came to his ears: "You're panting like this, are you guilty?"
Lu Anning was stunned and looked up at him: "What did I do?"
"The flowers have been delivered to the company, why are you still pretending?" Tang Jingyuan raised his eyelids slightly, suddenly turned over and pressed towards Lu An Ning, supporting her with his long arms and holding her under him. His deep eyes looked back and forth at Lu An Ning, as if he wanted to see through her.
A cold voice came out of his mouth, and even the temperature in the car dropped suddenly.
"Lu Anning, have you forgotten your identity?"
Tang Jingyuan frowned and stared at the woman under him. Is this the reason why she refused to disclose her marriage in the company?
"I don't even have a wedding ring. Who would believe me if I said I was married?" She smiled and hooked her arms around Tang Jingyuan's neck. "He Xun said that you are the man I can never reach in my life, right? Third Master!"
