Qiao Anhao's face was covered in a thin layer of pink. Her eyes fluttered, and with a hint of shyness, she said in a clear voice, "Brother Jiamu, happy birthday."
Qiao Anhao's warmth and scent lingered on Lu Jinnian's lips. He stared at her for a while, moving his lips. He lowered his eyes to hide the raging emotions in his eyes, and his lips curled into a smile. He elegantly took the knife from the helper and started to cut the cake.
After eating the cake, the guests started to leave one after another. Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian stood at the entrance of the Xu family's house, politely sending the guests to their cars. One after another, the luxurious cars drove out of the Xu family's courtyard. Not long after, the courtyard became empty, and the originally noisy and lively scene suddenly became exceptionally quiet.
Servants came in and out of the villa, cleaning up the mess from the banquet.
Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian followed behind Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu. When they reached the steps in front of the villa, they stopped. Qiao Anhao called out to Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu, who were half a meter in front of them. "Uncle Xu, Auntie Xu..."
Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu stopped and turned their heads at the same time. Perhaps Xu Wanli had drunk a little too much, his face was red.
Qiao Anhao pursed her lips into a smile, then politely said goodbye. "We won't be going in, it's getting late, so we'll be heading back first."
Lu Jinnian didn't say a word. He strode over to his car, opened the door, and got in. He drove the car in front of Qiao Anhao and rolled down the window. He didn't say a word, but just pressed the car horn. His gaze was straight ahead, and he didn't even look at Xu Wanli or Han Ruchu.
Qiao Anhao immediately waved at Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu, pulled open the car door, and sat in. She stuck her head out of the window, and said, "Goodbye."
Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu also said "Goodbye" to Qiao Anhao, and then gave her a few warm and friendly reminders. Lu Jinnian didn't say a word as he stared straight ahead, waiting for them to say their goodbyes. Only then did he step on the accelerator, turn the steering wheel, and leisurely drive out of the Xu family courtyard.
The path from the Xu Residence to Mian Xiu Garden happened to be the busiest street in the capital.
The night watering truck had just passed by this road. The road was wet, and under the illumination of the street lamps, it reflected a bright light.
Lu Jinnian rolled down the car window, letting in the humid night breeze. It was especially comfortable.
The birthday party had been going on for a few hours, and with the alcohol, she was a little tired. She wanted to give him a surprise when she got home, so the moment she got in the car, she leaned against the car and closed her eyes to take a nap.
In his car, the music was turned on, playing an emotional song with a magnetic female voice. Lu Jinnian couldn't tell what song it was, but he felt that the tune wasn't bad. After listening for a while, he turned to look at Qiao Anhao. Seeing that she was asleep, he raised his hand to turn off the music.
In an instant, the car fell silent, with only the occasional honk coming from outside the window.
Qiao Anhao wasn't asleep, but she closed her eyes to rest. Suddenly, she realized that the song had stopped, so she opened her eyes. Coincidentally, through the rearview mirror, she saw Lu Jinnian's profile as he focused on driving.
