The room's color was her favorite minimalist style, and it had a separate bathroom and cloakroom. An Li excitedly took her to the cloakroom, and when the door opened, the dazzling array of things almost dazzled Lu An Ning's eyes.
"You bought so much?"
"Girls should buy more. These are all gifts that your mother prepared for you every year and every holiday. I can't be with you, so these things are nothing."
Dresses, shoes, bags, and a dedicated area for hanging dresses—many of them were limited editions created by the master. Even the cosmetics had unique designs.
"These are the latest things I bought. Mom has everything you need. You're always welcome to stay with us."
"Mom, if you're like this, I won't be able to bear to go back."
An Li smiled. "Silly child, that's nothing. Mom wants to give you the best of everything in the world. When I'm not busy anymore, I'll take you on a trip. How about seeing the Northern Lights? Or if you want to travel around the world, that's fine. The world is so beautiful. You're a girl, don't think about making money, you should enjoy life. The most important thing for you is to love yourself, okay?"
An Li knew that Lu An Ning had suffered a lot and often thought of others first. She hoped that her children could love her more.
Lu Anning looked at An Li, not knowing what else to say. She could only hug her tightly and pray that this was not a dream.
If it really is a dream, then let her never wake up.
Gu Yue saw the mother and daughter hugging each other, reluctant to part, and couldn't bear to interrupt them.
He coughed twice and said, "How about you stay here? Talk to Jing Yuan."
Lu An Ning then let go of his hand and looked at An Li without saying a word.
An Li smiled and said, "There will be many opportunities in the future, but today is your return home day, so you should go back and stay. Later, if you want to come, you can come anytime. Or, you can make an appointment and come together."
"That's a good suggestion. I'll ask them to adjust the time later."
An Li's eyes lit up, as if she had already seen the lively scene when everyone lived at home.
The car slowly left the villa. An Li stood at the door until the car completely disappeared from her sight. Then she reluctantly returned to the house.
Lu Anning smiled foolishly all the way and didn't even realize when he arrived at his doorstep.
Gu Yue looked at the situation in the yard and exclaimed.
"It seems Jingyuan hasn't come back yet."
Lu An Ning finally came to his senses, exclaimed "Ah", and looked towards the yard. Standing at the door was Aunt Wang, waiting for them.
After saying hello to Gu Yue and telling him to be careful on the way back, Lu Anning went back to the house.
Wang Ma handed over a hot towel and was puzzled when she saw that she was alone. "Madam, the master hasn't come back yet."
Lu Anning hesitated for a moment, took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was half past ten, and there were no calls or messages from him on the phone. Normally, he would not be like this.
Did something happen?
Lu Anning was a little worried and called Tang Jingyuan again. This time the number went through, but no one answered for a long time.
Lu Anning was a little anxious. Tang Jingyuan would never be like this. However, she was with her fourth brother at work. Perhaps there was something urgent that hadn't been dealt with yet?
She was wondering whether to contact Gu Feng when she heard the sound of a car parking outside.
It was Gu Feng who sent the person back!
Seeing Gu Feng helping the person out of the car, Lu An Ning hurried forward to help. As soon as he approached him, the smell of alcohol hit him in the face.
He not only drank, he got drunk.
"Fourth brother, this is..."
"Let's go in first."
The drunk Tang Jingyuan felt heavy, and perhaps he smelled a familiar smell. He subconsciously leaned towards Lu Anning, but he didn't press her too hard. After finally getting her back to the master bedroom, Lu Anning was a little out of breath.
"Fourth brother, what happened?"
Gu Feng glanced at the person on the bed and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Things are a bit complicated, so I'll tell you in person after he wakes up! He wasn't in a good mood today and drank a little too much, and I couldn't stop him. I'll have to trouble you to take care of him tonight!"
Lu An Ning responded, remembering that when they left, his fourth brother mentioned that Bai Yue had returned alive.
The person who once went out on missions on his behalf, Bai Lu’s brother!
I thought that after Bai Lu was sent abroad, she ran away again and there has been no news since then, and the relationship between the Bai family and Jing Yuan would also be over. Unexpectedly, Bai Yue, who was believed to be dead by everyone, is now back alive and appeared at their wedding banquet.
First he gave her the ring, then he showed up at work!
Is she overthinking it?
Why do I always feel that the Bai brothers and sisters came back with some force this time?
Lu Anning came back to her senses and smiled as she walked Gu Feng downstairs, hiding her worry in her heart. As she walked him to the car, Gu Feng saw through her worry.
"Don't overthink it. Bai Yue's incident had a big impact on Jing Yuan. But now that he's back, things will slowly get better. He just suffered a bit of a shock today. He'll be fine after he recovers."
Lu An Ning vaguely realized that even her fourth brother was unwilling to say more about Bai Yue.
Seeing this, she didn't ask any more questions. After watching the car drive away, she also went into the house.
In the room, Tang Jingyuan was lying on the bed in a daze. Aunt Wang brought him some hot tea and left on her own accord.
Lu Anning looked at the person on the bed, sighed softly, and called him twice. Only then did Tang Jingyuan slowly open his eyes.
"How are you feeling? Would you like some warm water?"
Tang Jingyuan forced himself to sit up, and Lu Anning reached out to caress him, asking him to lean back on the bed and make himself as comfortable as possible.
After drinking half a cup of warm water, Tang Jingyuan became a little more sober.
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have drunk so much."
"Why would you apologize for no reason? It's just that if you have anything, you can tell me. You don't have to keep it in your heart and make yourself sick."
Tang Jingyuan looked at Lu Anning for a long time, then suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms and took a deep breath.
"Ningning, I...saw Bai Yue!"
