Although she was smiling and greeting him, Lu Anning felt a little unhappy. Do people who eat together have to be boyfriends and girlfriends? Out of the corner of her eye, she accidentally glanced at Tang Jingyuan and met his gloomy eyes.
Lu An Ning took a deep breath. Since she couldn't leave, she might as well say goodbye. After all, she wasn't the one feeling guilty.
Is it true that he is only allowed to have lunch with his childhood sweetheart, but he cannot reminisce with his old classmates?
She stepped forward and greeted them openly: "Boss Tang, Director Ye, what a coincidence."
Ye Lingfei looked at Zhao Zheyan carefully with a smile, and smiled ambiguously: "Team Leader Lu and your boyfriend are really a match made in heaven, just like Jing Yuan and me."
Lu Anning laughed secretly. She didn't even know that her husband had a girlfriend outside.
Seeing Tang Jingyuan remained silent, Lu Anning smiled and explained, "I'm not lucky enough to be his girlfriend. This is my high school classmate, Zhao Zheyan. Director Ye, it's not good to say anything about something you're not sure about."
Ye Lingfei ignored Lu Anning's clarification and smiled to herself, "We're high school classmates, we know each other well, that's great."
She pushed Tang Jingyuan's arm and said, "Jingyuan, don't you think they are a good match?"
Tang Jingyuan raised his eyes and looked at Lu Anning with a half-smile: "Really?"
"Since we've met, why not eat together!" Ye Lingfei said, calling the waiter to prepare the tableware, not giving Lu Anning any chance to refuse.
Four people sat opposite each other in pairs, and the atmosphere that should have been relaxed and cheerful suddenly became tense.
The waiter handed over the menu, and Zhao Zheyan took it naturally and asked Lu Anning what he thought: "Has your taste changed in recent years? Is there anything you particularly want to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
Zhao Zheyan nodded, flipping through the menu and expertly ordering two steaks, emphasizing, "One medium-rare, one well-done. The mango sago is served at room temperature, and there's a double portion of mango. I remember you like mango the most."
Lu Anning smiled, feeling surprised. She didn't remember ever mentioning her preferences to Zhao Zheyan, but he actually knew that she only ate well-done steak and loved mangoes the most.
Looking up, Lu Anning met Tang Jingyuan's gloomy gaze, and instead became righteous.
Across from them, Ye Lingfei was thoughtfully preparing the meal for Tang Jingyuan, looking so virtuous, as if they were a loving couple.
After finishing the meal, Lu Anning felt like chewing wax.
It was unknown whether Ye Lingfei did this on purpose, but when the steak was served, she suddenly said in a pretentious manner that she couldn't cut it, staring straight at Tang Jingyuan. Without saying anything, Tang Jingyuan took Ye Lingfei's portion of food, carefully cut it into small pieces for her, and then returned it.
Lu An Ning couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he lowered his head to eat his own food, with a sarcastic smile flashing across his lips.
The meal was so unpleasant that Lu Anning started to feel a stomachache as soon as she returned to the company. She filled up with warm water and returned to her workstation. Just as she was about to take a break, Lin Tao personally came to the project department and asked her to go to the president's office.
"Mr. Tang is looking for you."
Lu Anning frowned. Shouldn't he be developing a relationship with Ye Lingfei during the break?
Enduring the discomfort, Lu Anning followed Lin Tao to the top-floor office. As soon as she was brought in, Lin Tao left and closed the office door.
Lu Anning glanced at Tang Jingyuan, who was sitting on the single sofa next to him. His shirt collar was untied, his long legs were crossed, and his gaze was as scrutinizing as that of an emperor, full of oppression.
"Mr. Tang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Tang Jingyuan waved his hand: "Come here!"
Lu Anning frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Seeing that she didn't move, Tang Jingyuan got angry and stood up and approached Lu Anning: "Now my words are useless? Lu Anning, you were the one who wanted to marry me because you had no other choice. Now you want to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
With a stretch of his long arm, Lu Anning was easily hooked into Tang Jingyuan's arms. She subconsciously put her hands against his chest, fearing that someone would push the door open.
"What are you doing? This is a company!"
"You're not allowing me to touch you because you're having another man? Lu An Ning, I didn't marry you to cheat on me. Who gave you the guts to have dinner with another man right under my nose? Do you think I'm dead?"
The force around his waist tightened, and the two of them were almost pressed together. Through the thin fabric, Lu Anning could even feel the heat from Tang Jingyuan's body, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
"You still know that I'm your wife! Mr. Tang only allows you and your childhood sweetheart to go out together, but I can't even have a meal with an old classmate? You can't be so hypocritical. I also have my own social freedom. Mr. Tang, please think about your own problems before you control others."
"I said, Ye Lingfei and I are not what you think."
"What's that like? She's hinted so clearly, almost saying she's your girlfriend. Tang Jingyuan, I'm still alive!"
Lu Anning also returned the same words to Tang Jingyuan.
Tang Jingyuan stared at her for a long time, and suddenly a smile flashed in his eyes: "Lu Anning, are you jealous?"
Lu Anning was stunned and denied it without thinking: "I didn't. It's impossible! You're overthinking it."
She pushed Tang Jingyuan away with force, looked away, and ignored her disordered heartbeat.
How could she be jealous!
"Stay away from that Zhao Zheyan!"
"It's none of your business."
Lu Anning snorted, turned around and walked out of the office, deliberately slamming Tang Jingyuan's door, and then she felt a little relieved. Thinking of what Tang Jingyuan had just asked, she was stunned again.
I shouldn't...
Frightened by her own thoughts, she shuddered, came to her senses, and left quickly.
Lin Tao watched all this silently, then shook his head helplessly when he saw the closed office door. "Madam is the first one who dared to slam the Third Master's door."
Coming out of the elevator, Lu Anning ran into Ye Lingfei who was waiting for her in the department corridor.
From a distance of several meters, the two women looked at each other.
Ye Lingfei said calmly: "Miss Lu, let's talk."
