Sitting in the car, Yu Hui had not yet recovered. Thinking of what happened in the box, she couldn't help but feel scared and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
A cup of hot coffee was handed to her. Yu Hui looked up and met Lu Anning's calm gaze. Only then did she realize her loss of composure.
She forced a smile and reached out to take the coffee. The warm feeling slowly seeped into her body through the cup, and Yu Hui slowly found herself again.
The driver started the car slowly. As Yu Hui watched the restaurant gradually move away from her sight, she secretly let out a breath.
Lu Anning saw all of this and said calmly, "You're clearly scared, yet you still agreed to help me trick Wang Qin. Aren't you afraid that I might disregard your own safety for the sake of that answer?"
"Didn't you show up at the critical moment? I know you're not that kind of person."
Being stared at firmly by Yu Hui, Lu An Ning frowned and quickly looked away.
"Yu Hui, I'm not as good as you think. I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goal."
"I know. It doesn't matter! At least I'm safe while you're using me. I'm a very content person."
The experiences during this period were enough for her to see the world clearly. No one would be willing to be nice to her anymore, so how could she dare to ask Lu An Ning to help her unconditionally?
"I need you to help me, so I want you to see my value."
As the shadows of lights flashed across Yu Hui's body, Lu Anning felt more and more that Yu Hui at this moment had her own shadow. At this moment, something in her heart seemed to be touched.
"You did a great job tonight."
"Thank you for getting the life-saving talisman for me. Wang Qin won't dare to do anything to me from now on."
To ensure safety, Lu Anning asked the driver to take Yu Hui to the entrance of the community and watched her go in before leaving.
Lu Anning leaned back in her chair, thinking back to the person Wang Qin had mentioned, and began to search through her memories. After arriving in Kyoto, she had attended many banquets, but she had never heard of anyone named Gong in the Kyoto circle.
From what Wang Qin said, it should be a simple profit-making relationship. The other party actually wants to acquire a domestic pharmaceutical company. With their deep pockets, could it be that they want to monopolize the market and make money?
Wang Qin's tone was full of fear of Mr. Gong. After returning, she would remind Jing Yuan and her elder brother to take precautions early.
Traditional Chinese and Western medicine have always been at their own separate ends, and although there has been some secret competition, the conflict has never been brought to the surface. This time, they are preventing my mother from opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Is this a clear move?
No matter what, she still had to find out the other party's situation before deciding what to do next.
Lu An Ning had just arrived home when a sound was heard in the yard again. Tang Jingyuan had also returned, but he was supported by Lin Tao when he came in.
When entering the room, Tang Jingyuan wanted to push Lin Tao away, but his feet felt a little weak. Lu Anning hurried forward to support him and also smelled the strong smell of alcohol on him.
"What's going on?"
Lu Anning rarely saw Tang Jingyuan get so drunk during social events. Normally, he would not easily pick up a glass of wine.
Lin Tao was at a loss for words: "The clinic issue has been resolved, but Third Master also drank quite a bit. I'll have to trouble Madam to take care of him tonight!"
Lu Anning was shocked and felt a little distressed. She didn't ask any more questions and told Lin Tao to be careful when he returned, while helping Tang Jingyuan upstairs.
"I'm fine! Just ask Aunt Wang to prepare a cup of sobering tea. I'll drink it after I take a shower."
Judging from the tone of his voice, he wasn't drunk, but just a little high.
Lu Anning blamed himself a little: "If I had known, I wouldn't have asked you to come out. You'll feel uncomfortable tomorrow after drinking so much."
"If I don't put pressure on you, there's no telling how long it will take to get things done. And I didn't drink this wine tonight for nothing."
Lin Tao only finished half of his sentence. Tang Jingyuan had drunk quite a bit, but the other six or seven people all walked out sideways. This meal also gave them a glimpse into Third Master Tang's drinking style, which was unforgettable.
To the extent that, when someone later mentioned the social interactions with Mr. Tang San, they were still frightened and didn't dare to respond.
Lu An Ning helped him to lean on the bed and brought him some hot water to relax. Seeing him like this, Lu An Ning did not mention the matter of what he had said to Wang Qin.
By the time Auntie Wang came up with the sobering tea, the bath water was already ready.
Lu An Ning felt a little worried when she saw him walking towards the bathroom with unsteady steps.
"Can you do it alone?"
Tang Jingyuan turned around and smiled at her: "Then, will you help me?"
Lu Anning didn't notice the impropriety in Tang Jingyuan's eyes at all, and walked forward to support him with a worried look on his face.
"Okay! Be careful."
She had seen news reports before about people who got drunk and took a bath in the bathroom and had accidents, some even losing their lives. This was no joke.
However, as soon as the bathroom door closed, she was pressed against the wall. The hot kiss was so urgent that Lu An Ning could hardly resist.
After finally getting a chance to catch her breath, she pushed Tang Jingyuan away and hung on him with her weak legs.
"Aren't you taking a shower? You drank so much, why are you still..."
"I can drink a lot, this is just a small drink to liven things up."
A deep voice sounded beside my ears: "Ningning, take a shower with me..."
The heat blurred Lu Anning's vision. Before she could answer, he picked her up and walked towards the jacuzzi.
With his clothes scattered all over the floor, Lu Anning's mind stopped working. He kept wondering if he was pretending to be unsteady when he walked in.
This bath lasted an unusually long time. Lu Anning didn't even know when she was taken out. She just felt exhausted and had no strength left. However, the man beside her seemed to have endless energy and was tireless...
It was not until the next day that Lu Anning was woken up by Gu Yu's phone call early in the morning and heard his excited voice.
"Little sister, the procedures for the clinic have been completed. I received a notice this morning asking me to pick it up in the morning."
Lu Anning suddenly woke up: "Really?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, his hoarse voice seemed to reveal something, and Gu Yu could tell something was wrong.
"Little sister, what's wrong with your throat? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lu Anning cleared his throat: "No. It might be because the weather has been a bit dry recently. I haven't gotten up yet, so I'm a little hoarse. I'll be fine after drinking more warm water."
She was speaking in a serious and guilty manner when she finally felt an arm hanging from her waist. A broad hand was resting on her waist, caressing the flesh there.
Lu Anning frowned as he felt a tingling sensation. He slapped his restless hands away, said a few simple words and hung up the phone. Looking back, he saw the man next to him still had his eyes closed.
"Third Master, do you also have the habit of staying in bed? Still pretending, get up now."
Tang Jingyuan didn't listen and pulled the person back into his arms.
"It's still early! Sleep with me for a while longer, as compensation."
Lu Anning blurted out: "Didn't I compensate you last night?"
"Last night? Didn't you enjoy it too?"
Lu Anning blushed, buried her head in his chest, and quietly pinched his muscular waist. Tang Jingyuan took a deep breath and hugged him tighter.
"Don't make a fuss! I'm afraid you can't handle it."
