Chapter 22
It didn't sound like something An Nuo would say, but it came out of An Nuo's mouth.
Every word he said was firm, even his eyes were firm, which made Lu Yunyan a little surprised and a little nervous.
Anno seemed seriously angry.
But An Nuo said it was the previous behavior?
Besides not replying to the message, did he do anything else that was extremely evil?
Lu Yunyan really couldn't imagine it.
"Can you tell me what your previous behavior was?"
Lu Yunyan looked at An Nuo and said sincerely, "I'm not really sure when you say that."
An Nuo was happy to clarify: "It's about you not replying to my message. You replied a day later, and your reply was very cold and heartless."
“…”
"After all, we were still together the day before, and you seemed to like me very much... But as soon as you left, you immediately became so distant and cold-blooded. I think this is a complete cold shoulder. To be honest, I can't stand it."
“…”
Cold and ruthless.
Alienated and cold-blooded.
Just from these words, one can feel Annuo's strong dissatisfaction.
Only then did Lu Yunyan realize that what he thought was a small test turned out to be so terrible in Annuo's eyes.
Although I got to know An Nuo a little better because of this, I found out that his young wife was more fragile and sensitive in her emotional needs than she appeared, and she needed a lot of patience and consideration.
But it was obviously too late.
He got out of his mind.
"Sorry, baby, I—"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by An Nuo's sneer.
"Oh, here you go again, calling me baby to my face, and then ignoring me when I leave."
“…”
With a little more understanding, I found that although my wife usually looks timid and introverted, she can be quite powerful when she gets angry.
"Don't call me baby, I'm just your healing bag."
"Of course not—"
"It's okay. It's okay if you admit it. We have always been in this relationship. This relationship only lasted for three years."
An Nuo looked serious, trying to look mature and calm, and trying hard to act like an adult.
"Anyway, I will do my best to cooperate with your treatment while you're feeling unwell, but we should keep our distance at other times. These boundaries are very important to me."
“…”
After saying this, An Nuo no longer cared about Lu Yunyan's reaction and turned to leave: "I'm also very tired today, I'm going to sleep first."
"From now on, unless you need treatment... we should sleep separately."
“…”
The advantage of a big house finally came into play, that is, there are many rooms, and Annuo can move whenever he wants.
After venting all his grievances and dissatisfaction to Lu Yunyan, An Nuo did not feel any regret or fear, only the satisfaction of venting.
Although I changed rooms temporarily, I slept soundly the whole night after locking the door, without even having any dreams.
…
It was not until the next morning that his mood returned to its previous calmness and the dissatisfaction that had accumulated in his heart was cleared out. When he saw Lu Yunyan again, An Nuo finally felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
If you think about it carefully, what I did last night was not only a temper tantrum, but also an argument with Lu Yunyan, right?
What does their quarrel mean?
Husband and wife quarreling?
But they are not a serious couple.
Colleagues quarreling?
That's even weirder, they aren't actually colleagues, are they?
If I have to say, it’s probably because of different work philosophies?
Um?
But something doesn't seem right?
In short, everything is wrong.
An Nuo lowered his head and said nothing, pretending not to see Lu Yunyan, and walked towards the restaurant in silence.
Anyway, let's have breakfast first.
You can't let yourself go hungry.
But Lu Yunyan was obviously waiting for him, and arrived at the restaurant a minute later.
An Nuo had already started eating breakfast. He couldn't just leave with the plate when he saw Lu Yunyan coming.
——The implication of avoiding like that is too obvious.
Am I not wrong?
Why hide?
An Nuo could only sit there with his head held high, his heart in turmoil, yet he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
In contrast, Lu Yunyan was truly calm. After sitting down in front of An Nuo, he spoke bluntly, "...Excuse me, is this baby who didn't let me call you baby still angry with me?"
“…”
What an outrageous prefix.
If it were last night, An Nuo would probably be even more furious, but now he just wanted to laugh.
Fortunately, there was nothing to drink.
After venting his bad emotions, he was no longer angry, but when he thought of what Lu Yunyan had done, he still felt a little bothered.
He didn't understand whether this emotion could be considered anger.
An Nuo didn't look up, but his tone was much calmer than last night: "...I'm fine."
Lu Yunyan seemed to be relieved. "I've thought of many explanations for what happened last night, but in the end, no matter how I explain this busyness, words alone are pale and unconvincing—"
"So I decided to invite you to be my assistant again."
An Nuo was taking a bite of bread when he almost choked.
Um?
What is the inevitable connection between the two?
Lu Yunyan continued, "This way you'll know what I'm doing every day, and you won't have to be angry if I don't reply. If you want to tell me something, you can tell me right then and there."
It is impossible for Lu Yunyan to admit that there was any intentional element in his previous behavior, and he can only insist that it was because he was "too busy with work."
After recognizing this point, and looking at it from this perspective, Lu Yunyan seemed to have seriously reflected on An Nuo's needs and provided a perfect solution.
"And I need you too, not just during my vulnerable period, but every minute of every day. I don't want to leave you at all."
“…”
Sudden sweet words.
An Nuo's heart trembled, and he still hesitated at such words, but after a pause, he muttered softly: "I don't believe it."
Because I believed it before and was confused by Lu Yunyan's behavior, which is why I was hurt in the end and felt a huge and uncomfortable emotional gap.
Lu Yunyan hadn't expected him to be so straightforward in his disbelief, and laughed for a moment: "...Okay."
Bit her lower lip.
It's not easy to fool you.
It seems that we really can't hurt the little beauty easily.
He seems soft and timid, but once hurt, he becomes extremely alert.
At least most of the previous efforts were in vain.
"Then I'll stick with my previous suggestion. If words are too inadequate to explain, you can come to me and let me prove it to you through my actions."
Lu Yunyan said: "Don't rush to refuse, think about it carefully, this is not a bad thing for you."
"Since you don't like your major and you don't have any other plans at the moment, why not just consider it as a chance to gain some work experience and see how you can do?"
"If you're doing well and are willing to continue, when we separate, I can transfer you to the area you want to go to. Isn't that great?"
From this perspective, it seems pretty good.
Annuo has always been a little confused and a little resistant about his future work.
An's father only wants to exchange his marriage for benefits and is unlikely to arrange anything for him, so he can only rely on himself.
But Annuo was very clear about his own abilities. His grades had always been mediocre. He was not the kind of person who was particularly good at studying, and he did not have the ability to start a business.
Now, Bai Wu and Luo Heng both have very glamorous and respectable jobs arranged by their families.
When An Nuo saw this, he actually felt envious.
Thinking about the proposal made by Lu Yunyan, if he is capable of doing it, then when the divorce comes, he will not only be able to completely break away from the An family, but also have a stable job... It seems really good?
"but……"
Lu Yunyan: "Hmm? But what?"
"But suddenly hiring an intern with no experience as your assistant... doesn't that seem reasonable? People will definitely think I have connections, right?"
Is it such an easy company to get into Lu Corporation, especially to be Lu Yunyan's assistant?
If An Nuo submitted his professional resume, he would probably have been screened out by AI before it even reached the stage of manual review.
If An Nuo really went in, everyone would be able to guess at a glance that he had a powerful backer.
"Is it not possible even if I have a backstage?"
"It's not impossible...but I still hope that our relationship can be kept secret to reduce any unnecessary suspicion."
Lu Yunyan had to admit it again.
The vigilance has indeed increased.
"Okay, then you can go to the internship group first."
"Um?"
"Actually, the company recruits a group of interns during graduation season every year, and this year is no different. You can join the internship group for a while, and then come back to me after a few months. That way, no one will suspect anything."
Put it this way, it sounds feasible.
"Anyway, you can try it first. If you really don't like it, you can quit at any time."
An Nuo thought for a moment and said, "...Well, I'll seriously consider it then."
In fact, when he said this, he was already inclined to agree in his heart, because this was really a good opportunity to try, and An Nuo felt that he should give it a try.
Just didn't want to appear too eager.
"Well, think about it carefully."
As the conversation ended, the atmosphere between the two improved a lot, and An Nuo finished the breakfast in front of him.
He picked up the plate, walked back to the kitchen and put it in the sink.
Lu Yunyan followed him all the time.
When An Nuo left her back to him, he knew how to seize the opportunity given by fate and hugged her from behind.
“…”
An Nuo's whole body froze, and his movement to turn around stopped.
"I know you're still angry, but—"
An Nuo interrupted: "I'm not still angry."
Lu Yunyan was delighted, thinking that An Nuo could forgive him and was willing to reconcile with him.
But Anno continued, “I am sad.”
“…”
Well, it seems the problem is still very serious.
Failure to distinguish between "anger" and "sadness" sounds like an even greater sin.
"It was my fault."
Lu Yunyan had no choice but to admit his mistake honestly and show his good attitude first.
"Remember what I told you earlier?"
"Don't be afraid of confusing your feelings for me. You can ask me for anything, you can be willful and throw a tantrum, and I will comfort you."
“…”
"If I ever make you unhappy again, you don't have to be patient. You can just call me and scold me."
An Nuo thought, if you don’t even reply to my message, will you answer my call?
An Nuo whispered, "Do you still remember what I said to you last night?"
"Um?"
"We should establish some necessary boundaries between us, and I mean it."
After saying that, An Nuo squatted down and got out of Lu Yunyan's arms.
Lu Yunyan: “…”
