In the restaurant.
Lu Ming leaned back in his seat and looked out of the window. He was a picture of elegance. He kept looking at his phone, seemingly rather anxious. He had an important meeting later and did not have too much time.
“CEO Lu, the meeting is starting in half an hour,” the secretary reminded him.
“I know. Let’s wait a little longer!” Lu Ming put his phone aside and waited patiently. For some unknown reason, he found himself calling Vivian just as he was passing by. Although she kept a distance from him, he couldn’t ignore her. And although he had checked her identity and there was nothing suspicious about it, he did not believe it.
Outside the restaurant, Li An’an took a deep breath and walked in.
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up. In contrast to the bean-colored evening gown he had seen her in the other day, she was in a gray skirt and white shirt today. Her figure was exquisite and she looked energetic and radiant.
Lu Ming had a faint smile on his face. An’an would have been just like this after she started working. She wasn’t particularly capable and mature, but she was very likable.
“An’an!” he shouted passionately.
Li An’an sat down opposite Lu Ming, her back straight.
“CEO Lu, I’ve already said that I don’t know you. You’ve got the wrong person.
Also, don’t call me in the future. We’re not close.”
The smile on Lu Ming’s handsome face disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and sized her up. “I can’t be wrong!”
Li An’an called for the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee. “How do you prove that you’re not mistaken?”
Lu Ming was stumped. Her facial features were exactly like An’an’s. The only difference was the temperament. An’an was gentler, while the woman before him had an additional sense of confidence and pride! Such an An’an was even more irresistible.
Li An’an took a sip of coffee and saw that Lu Ming was silent. She asked, “Since you insist that I am, why don’t you describe that friend of yours? I’d like to get to know her as well, and see what’s so special about her that you can’t forget her.”
Lu Ming went back in his memories. “An’an was a very pitiful young lady. Her father was a murderer and no one knew where her mother was. However, after the Li family adopted her, Uncle, Auntie and Xinyi treated her very well. She was very happy and very kind. She was upset for a long time even when a stray dog was injured! The first time I saw her, I was attracted to her and wanted to protect her! At that time, she was very shy and timid, but she put up a calm front. I took the initiative to comfort her, so I became a part of her life. I wanted to accompany her all the time, like… like a big brother. Later on, she went to a hotel with Uncle and Auntie and something happened! We were all very sad! All these years, we have been living in sorrow!”
As Lu Ming spoke, he carefully observed Li An’an’s reaction. She would definitely be heartbroken over such a terrible thing, but to his disappointment, she showed no expression on her face, and even seemed a little bored.
“Oh, so that’s how it is. Are you done? If you’re done, I’m leaving. I’ve already paid for the coffee!” Li An’an threw down the money and smiled bitterly. It turned out that he only wanted to protect her like a big brother. He actually thought that the Li family was good to her. She often had wounds on her hands, but he didn’t notice them. What else was there to say?
Lu Ming’s eyes turned cold when he saw Li An’an walking away without hesitation. Wasn’t that right? She continued to feign ignorance. The man clenched his fists!
In a luxury car by the roadside.
Chu Yichen rolled up the car window with a gloomy expression. So it was the Lu familv? He had underestimated the Lu familv and Li An’an. Very good.
“Achoo!”
On the way back to the company, Li An’an felt inexplicably uneasy. She felt depressed and upset. She shouldn’t have met up with Lu Ming. Was he out to play a game of ambiguity, saying that he wished to be a big brother? So all those years, she had only been a ridiculous spare tire..
