"Mr. Lu, there's less than two hours before the plane leaves, we need to go and check in..."
Before the assistant could finish, Lu Jinnian interrupted him in a calm voice. "Get off at the nearest taxi stand."
"Ah?" The assistant asked in astonishment. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Lu Jinnian said in a flat voice, "We're not going to Rome today, change the flight to tomorrow morning."
After the assistant got out of the car, Lu Jinnian sat in the driver's seat. He placed his hands on the steering wheel, tapping it from time to time. In the end, as though he had compromised, he twisted the car key in frustration. Then, he skillfully drove the car, turning the corner in front of him, and headed towards the city.
After the party for "To the End of Time" ended, Zhao Meng drove Qiao Anhao back to Mian Xiu Garden.
Mian Xiu Garden was a famous high-class district in Beijing. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Lu Jinnian and Qiao Anhao's wedding house was located in the villa district of Mian Xiu Garden.
Zhao Meng parked the car at the entrance of their villa. At this moment, the rain had stopped, and the road was exceptionally clean. The dim yellow street lights shone on the puddles on the ground, reflecting a bright light.
Qiao Anhao said goodbye to Zhao Meng, and waited for her to drive off. Only then did she pull out the keys from her bag and open the villa door.
Because it had just rained, the blooming flowers in the courtyard had fallen to the ground. There was a lingering fragrance mixed with the dampness of the rain.
The distance from the main entrance to the house wasn't far, but she walked very slowly.
Lu Jinnian had returned to Beijing from Rome, so she wondered if he would return to Mian Xiu Garden tonight. Or perhaps, was he already in Silken Xiu Garden now?
After what happened three months ago, Qiao Anhao really didn't know how to face Lu Jinnian. The thought of bumping into Lu Jinnian made her entire body subconsciously tense up.
Qiao Anhao stood at the entrance of the villa with her eyes shut. After taking a few deep breaths, she picked up the keys and opened the door.
Aside from the two hourly workers who would come over to clean the villa at regular intervals, there were no permanent servants, so it was exceptionally quiet.
Qiao Anhao stood at the entrance and glanced around the living room. Seeing that there was no one there, she changed her shoes and slowly walked upstairs. Seeing that the second floor was also empty, she let out a sigh of relief.
He's not in Mian Xiu Garden … But I wonder if he'll come tonight?
Other than the fact that they hadn't seen each other for the past three months, during the first two months of their marriage, he would occasionally come to Mian Xiu Garden to stay. Even though he didn't come at a fixed time, it was never later than midnight.
It was 11 o 'clock at night, which meant that if he didn't show up in another hour, it was very likely that he wouldn't come over tonight.
Time passed slowly as Qiao Anhao felt uneasy. When the clock on the wall turned to one in the morning, her body, which had been tense the whole night, finally relaxed. She laid weakly on the sofa.
It was already one o 'clock in the morning. He definitely wouldn't show up tonight.
