Catching the seriousness on Lu Anning's face, Tang Jingyuan smiled and took the initiative to shake Lu Anning's hand, but was shaken off by Lu Anning.
"Are you angry? I was thinking about you. It's too dangerous to stay on the island. If anyone can leave, then leave. Besides, didn't I give you the ring? The facts have proven that everything was within my prediction."
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if your prediction was wrong? You know better than anyone that Rose is a lunatic, and you still use such a dangerous method."
Tang Jingyuan was helpless: "It's all in the past. Isn't everyone fine now? I was just acting for Rose at the time. Didn't you see that?"
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if I didn't react at the time and believed what you said? Tang Jingyuan, I can't always be so in tune with you. Do you know how desperate I was when I was sent off the island and alone on the boat, looking at the ring you gave me but unable to see through its meaning?"
At the end of her speech, Lu Anning's voice trembled uncontrollably. When she looked up at him again, tears couldn't be controlled and fell.
On the island, she hadn't cried despite all the things she'd encountered, but now she couldn't control her emotions. The two or three days she spent adrift on the sea were the hardest for her. Now, when she closed her eyes, everything was still vivid in her mind.
Until now, she couldn't even tell whether it was reality or a dream.
The emotions of the past few days could no longer be controlled and burst out completely at this moment.
“Ningning…”
"Luckily, I learned to swim and dive before, fortunately, I encountered such a stupid fish, fortunately, I found shells under the boat, and fortunately, Bai Yue specially asked someone to give me two bottles of mineral water, which allowed me to survive until Fourth Brother arrived. I dare not think about whether I would still be alive if I didn't know anything..."
As Lu An Ning spoke, he drank the entire glass of red wine in one gulp, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances of the past few days through the wine.
Maybe, it’s not just these days, but everything I have experienced in order to live a good life since I was a child.
In fact, she just wanted to live a peaceful life. She tried to be strong, but sometimes, she couldn't hold on.
When she saw Xiao Gao come to report that he was safe, she was filled with joy. But when she heard that Tang Jingyuan was injured, Lu Anning's heart was in suspense again. She knew that Xiao Gao was avoiding the important issues just to avoid making her worry.
Lu Anning knew that she often couldn't control her overthinking and was pretentious. She was just that shy and didn't expect to change.
In front of her family, she always kept a smile on her face, not wanting them to worry. But somehow, when she looked at Tang Jingyuan, all the grievances she had hidden came out.
Once I started crying, I couldn't stop!
Lu Anning suddenly broke down emotionally, which frightened Tang Jingyuan and even alarmed Wang Ma who was busy in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise, Wang Ma thought the two were arguing, so she quickly leaned out and saw Tang Jingyuan wiping Lu Anning's tears. Lu Anning was in high spirits, hugging Tang Jingyuan and crying loudly, her tears all rubbing against Tang Jingyuan's expensive shirt.
Tang Jingyuan agreed to everything, and was afraid that Wang Ma would disturb her crying, so he made a gesture to her to be quiet, waved his hand, and let Wang Ma go about her own business.
Tang Jingyuan patiently coaxed Lu An Ning as his broad palm gently patted her back. Lu An Ning leaned on him and cried like a child, as if she had suffered a great injustice. It was unknown how long it took before Lu An Ning slowly stopped crying.
Seeing the large wet spots on Tang Jingyuan's shirt, Lu Anning couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You don't mind the dirt."
"It's not dirty. It's my fault. I made you feel wronged."
A gentle kiss landed on her lips, and Lu Anning's heartbeat quickened. Tang Jingyuan took advantage of the situation and picked her up. Lu Anning exclaimed and hugged his neck.
"Your injuries have just healed, put me down quickly."
"I'm not made of paper. That little injury won't affect me."
Tang Jingyuan whispered in her ear: "Ningning, I miss you."
Lu An Ning blushed and buried her face in his neck. With evil intentions, she suddenly looked up and kissed his neck with gentle movements, like a kitten licking it carelessly.
His Adam's apple rolled, Tang Jingyuan's eyes darkened, and he quickened his pace.
The dinner to celebrate the survival moved from the dining room to the bedroom, which became the main battlefield, and then spread to the bathroom, where the battle became fierce.
Under the dim light, a gentle kiss landed on the pink scar, with some caution. The gentle gesture touched the man's heart, turning it into motivation and feeding it back to Lu Anning.
That night, Lu Anning slept soundly and happily, without being disturbed by nightmares.
The case was closed, and Lu Anning's life returned to normal. Back at the company, Zhong Ling led everyone to greet Lu Anning. Seeing how haggard Lu Anning had been these days, Zhong Ling was overwhelmed and hugged him.
"Mr. Lu, welcome back."
Everything in the company was the same as before. Without her, everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other. Several vice presidents and Zhong Ling worked together to manage the company in an orderly manner. No one gossiped about what Lu Anning had experienced these days. Just as Zhong Ling said, it was good that he was back.
A month later, Bai Lu surfaced in Country M. Unexpectedly, she turned herself in. With nowhere else to go and no hope of survival, she approached the police station and requested that she be sent back to her country for trial.
After hearing this news, Lu Anning's heart finally settled down.
The case was about to go to trial, and Gu Feng rushed Bai Lu back before the date. Returning to Kyoto, even sitting in the police car, Bai Lu was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She took the initiative to confess all her crimes and was surprisingly cooperative.
Two days before the trial, Lu Anning received news that Bai Lu wanted to see her again. Lu Anning couldn't help but laugh out loud. The brother and sister had a tacit understanding and both liked to chat with her.
Thinking of what happened between her and Bai Lu, Lu An Ning did not refuse.
It’s time for her to go meet Bai Lu!
When Lu An Ning saw Bai Lu in the visiting room for the second time, he almost thought he had come to the wrong place. The Bai Lu in front of him was no longer the same as before.
The loose prison uniform was worn on her body, and she was skinny with sunken eyes, looking like a female ghost.
"Are you scared by my appearance? Lu Anning, you should be very happy! I tried my best to make a comeback, but I still couldn't defeat you. I feel a little regretful. I shouldn't have brought you to the island. I should have killed you directly on the way. Hahaha!"
She gripped the edge of the table with both hands, her eyes filled with hatred.
"It's already this time, and you still haven't figured it out?"
"I just hate that this world is so unfair. Why are we all so different from the moment we're born? Why can I only be an ordinary person? I had the opportunity to cross the social ladder, but you destroyed my hope. If you hadn't insisted on sending me abroad, how could I have gotten to where I am today? Haven't you always been curious about how I met my brother? Now, I'll tell you."
