Even someone as perceptive as Lu Anning was shocked by Tang Jingyuan's reaction.
Is she overthinking it?
Why did she feel that Tang Jingyuan was not as happy as she imagined, and seemed a little unhappy?
She looked at Tang Jingyuan carefully and asked, "My plaster has been removed. If I don't go back to Bixi Bay, do I have to stay in the mountains forever? Don't you want me to go back and live there?"
“How could it be!”
Tang Jingyuan quickly smiled and added, "It's just that you've been injured so badly, I hope you can recover. A leg injury is no small matter. I'm just worried that you're too impatient and it might lead to a serious illness."
"It's been over a month, and didn't the doctor say I'm recovering well? Don't worry too much."
Lu Anning didn't think much about it, he just thought that Tang Jingyuan was too nervous, which was why he reacted like that.
The doctor beside him smiled and said, "The recovery is going well. However, since the plaster has just been removed, you still have to be careful. Avoid overexertion or strenuous exercise. It's best to rest for a while."
"Did you hear what the doctor said? In that case, why don't you stay in the mountains for a while and come back after you've fully recovered. As you can see, I've been very busy lately, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you and affect your recovery."
Lu Anning pursed her lips and didn't respond.
From what she knew about Tang Jingyuan, he was the one who was most reluctant to be separated from her. Even if it was just the distance between the city center and the suburbs, he still felt that they were very far apart. But what was wrong with him today? He repeatedly insisted that she continue to live in the mountains.
Or, is there something going on in the villa that you don't want me to know?
In front of the doctor, Lu Anning didn't ask any more questions. After asking the doctor in detail about the precautions, Lu Anning followed Tang Jingyuan out of the hospital. On the way back, they didn't mention returning to Bixi Bay again.
Watching the car driving towards the suburbs, Lu Anning felt a little uncomfortable. He looked around from time to time, worried that it was because they had been separated for a while recently and he had too much free time, so he became a little sensitive.
"Aren't you very busy? Today is Friday, do you still have time to take me back?"
"No matter how busy you are, you won't miss this little bit of time. I'll feel more at ease if I take you there."
"Are you hiding something from me?" Lu Anning looked at Tang Jingyuan with a smile that did not reach his eyes. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense.
Tang Jingyuan glanced back at her and smiled faintly: "What can I hide from you? If you really don't want to live in the old house, I'll come to pick you up in two days. You've lived in the mountains for so long, you can't just leave after the plaster is removed. At least tell grandpa in advance. I'll be back after I'm done with my work tonight!"
Lu An Ning responded without delving into the matter further. Perhaps he was just a little busy and was afraid that he couldn't take care of himself.
She wanted to say that she had actually recovered and he didn't need to be so nervous.
When they returned to the old house, it was time for lunch, and Tang Jingyuan also stayed. When the old man heard that she had recovered well, his face was full of smiles.
"Even though I've just recovered, I still can't let my guard down. I roughly know the whole story. I heard the perpetrator is dead, leaving no evidence. Jingyuan, you know the truth. If it's difficult to resolve, then I..."
"No need! Why would Grandpa bother to step in for such a small matter? This involves the Bai family siblings, and the situation is a bit complicated. It's not as simple as dealing with Bai Lu alone."
The old man immediately understood what Tang Jingyuan meant: "It's okay as long as you know what to do! An Ning girl, are you still staying here for a few days? Since the situation down in the mountain is not peaceful, why don't you stay up there to accompany me, an old man?"
"Grandpa, I've been raising the baby for over a month. There are still many things at the company waiting for me to deal with when I get back."
The old man suddenly understood and laughed out loud: "It's my fault. I got confused all of a sudden."
He looked at Tang Jingyuan and said, "Then go back and protect the people. Do you understand?"
Tang Jingyuan responded: "Grandpa, I will take Ningning down the mountain again on Sunday."
The old man nodded, and the return trip was finalized. Lu Anning finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to go back, but she was worried that the old man would be unhappy. She could feel that when she was in the mountains, the old man had a companion, and his mood improved a lot.
However, she couldn't live here forever.
Just after lunch, Tang Jingyuan received a call and left in a hurry without even having time to drink tea. Lu Anning looked at Tang Jingyuan's back as he hurried away. Before he could say the words "be careful on the road", the car had disappeared from his sight.
She looked at the empty asphalt road, and her heart felt empty as well.
It's not like she had never seen Tang Jingyuan busy before, but it was never like this. She remembered that no matter how busy he was before, he would never avoid her when answering the phone, but recently, he would often walk away before answering the phone.
It's not that she has no sense of boundaries, but her intuition keeps reminding her that Tang Jingyuan is hiding something. This feeling only came after Liu Quan got into trouble.
She suddenly remembered the note with the black rose on it. Neither Jingyuan nor her mother told her what was written on the paper. It was from that day on that she realized that something was wrong with Tang Jingyuan.
Because of this, Lu Anning wanted to go back even more.
That night, Lu Anning failed to wait for Tang Jingyuan to come back for dinner. Looking at the empty seat beside her, her uneasiness gradually grew, and even the delicious food became tasteless.
There was a cold text from him on the phone: Something urgent happened and I may not be able to return to the old house tonight, so don't wait for me.
She stared at the phone screen several times, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but she couldn't sleep at all. She hesitated several times but still didn't call Tang Jingyuan.
Wouldn't this make her seem too suspicious?
Just as she was tossing and turning in bed, her cell phone rang. It was a message from Ding Wan.
She subconsciously clicked it, and when she saw the content of the photo clearly, she sat up from the bed. In the photo, an enchanting and sexy woman was sitting astride Tang Jingyuan's legs, and the two were very close.
Ding Wan exclaimed: Sister, you are cheating!
