Lu Anning didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, there was still a trace of Chinese language on the seat next to him. There was the sound of running water in the bathroom. It should be Tang Jingyuan.
She opened her phone out of habit and saw a notification in the new friends list that someone had added her.
It’s Bailu!
Lu Anning frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then accepted the friend request.
Could it be that she couldn't help showing off to herself?
Tang Jingyuan came out after washing up. Lu Anning put down her phone as if nothing had happened, got up and got ready. Bai Lu didn't contact her until she left for work.
Lu Anning curled his lips and stopped paying attention.
The time at work passed very quickly, but once he stopped, Lu An Ning lost his original energy and spirit. Zhong Ling vaguely noticed that Lu An Ning was in a bad mood, but did not dare to ask more questions.
At noon, Lu Anning, who was feeling listless, asked Zhong Ling to go out for lunch and talked about Bai Lu.
"Isn't this obviously fake? She even dared to add you as her friend. What? Is she trying to provoke you? Mr. Lu, you're the wife, so don't be nice to her. She's just asking for trouble!"
In the restaurant, Zhong Ling couldn't help but complain: "All men are the same!"
Lu An Ning was stunned and looked up at her. Zhong Ling suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and smiled awkwardly.
"Mr. Lu, I was just saying it casually. Don't take it to heart. Maybe Mr. Tang is different. He's so smart, it's impossible that he can't even tell a green tea girl apart."
Lu Anning heaved a sigh of relief. Even Zhong Ling, a bystander, had noticed it, and Tang Jingyuan was even more aware of it. He simply thought it was harmless, so he acquiesced.
She hadn't done anything, yet Bai Lu still found her angry. If she really did something, she would probably commit suicide.
It’s not that Lu An Ning was afraid, but she felt that this kind of thing would affect her mood and she didn’t want to get too entangled in it.
Lu Anning didn't say anything, and Zhong Ling was a little worried.
"Mr. Tang has been so good to you. I've seen him all along the way. He definitely won't do anything rash."
“It’s a dead end.”
It's not easy to solve it.
As long as Bai Lu could seize Tang Jingyuan's guilt towards her, she might really haunt him for the rest of his life. However, the fragile relationship between her and Tang Jingyuan could only withstand a few more twists and turns.
For a moment, Lu Anning even imagined the worst possible outcome.
if……
She is not the kind of person who will cling to others. If it really comes to that, just like what we agreed upon when we got married, she will tell you in advance and she will never pester you.
Zhong Ling was browsing her phone and said casually, "It must be..."
She suddenly froze and looked at Lu Anning with some worry.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhong Ling's eyes moving back and forth between her and her phone, Lu An Ning pursed his lips and took her phone away.
On the screen was a photo of a man carrying a woman towards the hospital. It was Tang Jingyuan and Bai Lu.
The photo stung Lu Anning's eyes. His heart seemed to be suddenly tightened and his breathing stopped.
"Mr. Lu, are you okay?"
The news had not spread yet, but everyone below recognized that it was the person in charge of JK, the third master of the Tang family, Tang Jingyuan.
Yesterday, JK released a statement claiming Bai Lu was just an intern assistant, but today, photos of the two of them intimately entering the hospital have surfaced. Netizens are saying all sorts of things, automatically imagining hundreds of Cinderella comeback stories.
Occasionally, a few sober people would remind everyone that Tang Jingyuan was married, but they were soon overwhelmed by the news that came with pink bubbles.
Lu Anning returned the phone to Zhong Ling, but when she opened Weibo to look for the photo, she couldn't find it.
"Hey! Why is it gone?"
So quick!
"Don't look for it, it won't appear again."
The photo hadn't been there for more than an hour. Something Tang Jingyuan didn't want to see wouldn't appear. If they hadn't accidentally seen it just now, she probably wouldn't have known it existed.
Lu Anning's mind flashed back to the scene at that time, which coincided with Tang Jingyuan's explanation. However, the photo and his explanation seemed to be two completely different pictures.
The food in front of her was clearly her favorite, but when she put it in her mouth, she couldn't taste anything.
Having eaten little at noon, Lu Anning relied on strong tea to survive the afternoon. Feeling bored, she casually opened her phone to kill time. In her circle of friends, she saw that photo again.
Caption: I feel at ease when you are around!
Lu Anning couldn't help but laugh out loud, bitterness spreading in her heart. She tossed her phone aside and immersed herself in her work, completely forgetting the time.
At night, the street was brightly lit. Lu Anning was still busy. She picked up the cup again only to find it was empty. She was about to pour water when the office door was pushed open and the aroma of food hit her face.
"Why are you here?"
Tang Jingyuan smiled bitterly: "It's so late, let me ask when Mr. Lu can go home."
He walked over with a gentle smile on his face, and naturally pulled Lu Anning to the sofa next to him and sat down. He opened the lunch box, revealing steaming wontons. Lu Anning's stomach growled twice, which was particularly noticeable in the spacious office.
"Assistant Zhong said that you have a poor appetite today. Are you feeling unwell?" He said, putting his palm on her forehead and touching his own.
Lu Anning watched him do all this quietly, and the photo in Bai Lu’s circle of friends appeared in his mind.
It’s great to have you!
Her heart was suddenly stabbed, and she said calmly: "I'm fine, I just forgot the time."
"Eat quickly! No matter how busy you are, you must eat on time from now on. There's always work to do. If you keep going like this, I'll regret letting my second uncle hand over the company to you. No matter who it is, it's not worth it for you to hurt yourself. Including me!"
Lu Anning was stunned and looked up at him.
It was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing. She really wanted to ask Tang Jingyuan what was going on with that photo, but she swallowed it back.
She silently took a bite of the wonton. The shrimp inside was fresh, sweet and smooth, not something that could be made by ordinary people.
"How does it taste?"
Lu Anning nodded, and a smile appeared in Tang Jingyuan's eyes: "As long as you like it! Starting tomorrow, I will order lunch for you from Uncle Yang. No one else can cook as well as Uncle Yang."
Tang Jingyuan's gentleness seemed more like a reminder to Lu Anning that he would take care of Bai Lu in the same way.
For some unknown reason, she asked a disappointing question: "Didn't you go to the hospital to see Bai Lu today?"
The sounds around suddenly stopped!
