Once Lu Jingyuan was done washing up, she called one of the housekeepers in charge of cooking and summoned her over to prepare lunch for them.

Of course, she knew how to cook, but she was too lazy to do anything that day. “Let's go sit in the courtyard. We can come back in when lunch is done.”

She brought a plate of snacks and fruits as well as a pot of tea as she invited Ning Ran out to the courtyard.

There were various kinds of greenery in her courtyard, and the floral scent was pleasant. It was the perfect spot to sit down and rest.

Ning Ran sat down on the chair and grabbed herself some snacks. After taking a bite, her mood was lifted, and she immediately felt relaxed.

Lu Jingyuan poured some tea for Ning Ran. “I knew you would come looking for me today, but I didn't think you'd be here so early. No, actually, you're not early. I just got up too late.”

“How did you know I would come?” asked Ning Ran.

“You're here because of the online drama, right? To tell the truth, I hardly pay attention to trivial things that happen on the internet, but since this is related to you, I found out about it,” Lu Jingyuan explained.

Ning Ran picked up her cup and took a sip of tea. The aroma of the tea was incredibly fragrant.

She felt that Lu Jingyuan was a shrewd woman who could understand things even though they weren't explicitly stated.

Thus, she wanted to hear what Lu Jingyuan had to say before responding.

“I don't know who took those pictures. Do you know?” Lu Jingyuan questioned.

In response, Ning Ran shook her head. “No. The bar was in a state of chaos at the time. Nobody would have expected someone to secretly take photos.”

“I bet Mr. Nan suspects foul play on my part. After all, most of the photos with me in them have been erased and replaced with photos that don't include me. It's such a hot topic right now, but I've suddenly been excluded from it. It's no surprise that he would suspect me,” said Lu Jingyuan.

Sure enough, Lu Jingyuan's straightforward attitude made their communication easy.
