C17 Different Treatment

His body lazily leaned back, his elbow on the back of the chair, and his other hand was on the table, his slender fingers rhythmically tapping on the table.

After a while, Ann Xiaoxi felt that he was not tapping on the table. His fingers were tapping on her heart.

Bang, bang, bang...

"It's a private matter." The smile on Ann Xiaoxi's face was somewhat stiff. "Director Lu, then I will go back first. I wish you and Miss Ann a happy meal!"

Lu Xiucheng's eyebrows slightly raised. What did she just say?

Wishing him and this so-called Miss Ann a happy meal?

Could he eat together with this woman surnamed An?

If he could change his surname to An, for example, her, he could still consider it.

"Xiaoxi, is the matter urgent?" Ann Sitong tried her best to make herself look like a big sister who knew her heart. She got up and walked forward. "Do you need my help?"

Ann Xiaoxi,... ""

Lu Xiucheng looked at the two of them lazily just now.

Ann Xiaoxi said with a fake smile, "No need. I can handle it by myself. No problem."

It was good that they left!

In any case, she could not sit here at all. She could only watch Ann Sitong like a peacock, continuously opening her tail at Lu Xiucheng, this man.

She could not do it!

"Be careful on the way back. If you have anything to do, remember to call me." Ann Sitong patted her shoulder.

"Ah..." Just as Ann Xiaoxi turned around and was about to leave, she did not notice her feet and tripped. Her body subconsciously fell forward and she closed her eyes.

Lu Xiucheng, who was originally sitting in the middle of Ann Xiaoxi and was two seats away from her, quickly stepped forward. His eyes were anxious as he quickly pulled her arm and used force to pull her into his embrace.

The pain that she imagined did not come after a long time. Ann Xiaoxi opened her eyes and what entered her eyes was Lu Xiucheng's enlarged handsome face.

She looked up and saw Lu Xiucheng's deep eyes.

All of a sudden, they looked at each other.

Ann Xiaoxi saw herself in his eyes. It was full of her. The heart in her chest was beating uncontrollably and jumping with joy.

She wanted to hug him back and not leave his embrace.

But she had no choice but to leave his embrace.

He suppressed the reluctance in his heart and took two steps back, leaving his embrace. "Director Lu, thank you."

If it wasn't for him, she would have fallen to the ground just now.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Lu Xiucheng raised his wrist and looked at the time. "It just so happens that I finished eating too. I'll send you back."

"There's no need to go through so much trouble." Ann Xiaoxi had her own worries.

She was afraid that if he sent her back, she would meet Anan again. If he asked about it again, she would not be able to explain it clearly.

She thought about it and decided not to.

"Ouch."

Lu Xiucheng and Ann Xiaoxi looked at the direction where the sound came from at the same time. They only saw Ann Sitong, who was still standing properly just now, fell to the ground without them knowing when. She kept crying out in pain.

"It hurts! Director Lu, it hurts!"

Ann Sitong tried to stand up and moved her legs. Because of the 'pain', she had no choice but to sit down again. She touched her calf and said, "Director Lu, I can't even stand up now. Can you send me home?"

She could not watch the opportunity slip away in front of her. If she did not seize it, she could not let Lu Xiucheng send Ann Xiaoxi back just like that!

She... must fight for the opportunity to be sent home!

"You drove here by yourself when you came?" Lu Xiucheng stood where he was without moving.

Ann Sitong nodded and looked pitiful. "Yes, I can't drive back now. Director Lu, can I trouble you to take me home?"

Lu Xiucheng's thin and cold lips pursed into a straight line. He took out his phone and pulled out a number, "Send a driver over."

Very quickly, in less than fifteen minutes, someone knocked on the door and walked in.

He bowed and greeted respectfully, "Director Lu!"

"Send Miss Ann home." Lu Xiucheng raised his head slightly and gestured to Ann Sitong, who was still sitting on the ground, with his chin, "Make sure Miss Ann is safe and sound."

"Yes." The driver walked forward and first slightly nodded to Ann Sitong and politely said, "Miss Ann, excuse me. I will send you home."

He helped Ann Sitong up from the ground, half hugging and half hugging, "Can you walk by yourself?"

"I... Ah..."

Before Ann Sitong could finish speaking, the driver bent down and picked her up.

" Director Lu, Director Lu, I... "

The driver did not give Ann Sitong a chance to speak. He carried her out of the room.

Ann Sitong,... ""

In an instant, only Lu Xiucheng and Ann Xiaoxi were left in the room.

"I'll send you back." When Lu Xiucheng spoke, it was very obvious that he was not questioning her, but stating that he was affirming her words.

"Director Lu, there's no need. It's convenient for me to take a taxi back myself. I don't want to trouble you. Drive carefully when you go back." Ann Xiaoxi smiled.

Lu Xiucheng raised his eyebrows slightly. "Secretary Ann, what are you afraid of?"

"No... No!" Ann Xiaoxi couldn't just tell him that she was afraid that he would find An An!

We can't let the father and son meet!

As long as they met, everything would be exposed!

Lu Xiucheng didn't say anything else and pulled Ann Xiaoxi out of the room.

Ann Xiaoxi looked at his hand and the hand that held her arm. Suddenly, her eyes turned red. She had imagined this scene many years ago.

The two of them ate together and after dinner, the two of them were like a normal couple. They held hands, walked together, and went home together.

Although the hand that held her arm was different from what she had imagined, his hand was still holding her arm tightly.

It was as if... it would not let go.

It was as if... they were like normal couples!

Ann Xiaoxi sniffed and forced the heat in her eyes back. When she came back to her senses, she was already "stuffed" into the car by Lu Xiucheng.

Taking a deep breath, Ann Xiaoxi did not continue to resist and struggle. She obediently put on her seatbelt and allowed Lu Xiucheng to take her away!

Lu Xiucheng did not even ask for the address. He drove the car steadily to the building where Ann Xiaoxi lived.

"We're here!"

"Thank you, Director Lu." Ann Xiaoxi thanked him as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

Lu Xiucheng held the steering wheel with his clearly defined fingers and lightly tapped the steering wheel twice. He looked from the window in front of the car to the residential building not far away. "I have already sent Secretary Ann back. Aren't you going to treat me to a cup of tea?"

"I'm really sorry, Director Lu. There are very few people in my house. I really did not prepare tea. Another day... I'll treat you to a cup of tea another day." Ann Xiaoxi didn't want him to send her back, so she wouldn't stupidly treat him to a cup of tea.

An An was still waiting for her upstairs!
