Just as he reached the door, the assistant saw Lu Jinnian rummaging through the rubbish bin at the entrance.
Even though Mian Xiu Garden's rubbish was cleaned every day, it was summer, so the rubbish bin still emitted an unpleasant smell.
The assistant froze for a second, then hurriedly walked up to him. He covered his nose and said, "Mr. Lu, it's so dirty here, what are you looking for? I'll call someone to help you find... "
Lu Jinnian didn't seem to hear what the assistant said, silently searching through the rubbish bin. Then, his eyes lit up, and he pulled out a black rubbish bag.
The assistant hurriedly took a step back. Seeing Lu Jinnian open the rubbish bag, he stood motionless beside the rubbish bin as though he had lost his soul. His eyes stared straight into the rubbish bag.
The cake was so rotten that it couldn't be seen anymore. Cream covered the entire rubbish bag, and there were even balloons stuck inside, releasing a milky smell.
Lu Jinnian instantly lost his head, feeling as though a hand was clutching his heart. A piercing pain instantly spread through his entire body, and his fingers started to tremble.
The assistant didn't know what Lu Jinnian was looking at, but he saw that his expression wasn't right. He stood to the side, not daring to breathe.
Lu Jinnian maintained the same stiff posture he had when he first opened the rubbish bag. After standing there for a long while, he blinked slightly, then continued to stare at the mess inside the rubbish bag, as though he was trying to figure out what the cake originally looked like. After staring for about ten seconds, he blinked again, then slowly placed the rubbish bag back into the rubbish bin. As though there was no one around, he strode back into the courtyard.
When Madam Chen saw Lu Jinnian enter, she called out, "Mr. Lu." Lu Jinnian acted as though he hadn't heard her and strode up the stairs to the master bedroom. He closed the door and leaned against it. He raised his head, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling. His eyes were deep, and his expression was a little hazy.
So what Madam Chen said was true... Last night, she had actually prepared a surprise for him at home.
Madam Chen had also said that this was the first time she had made a birthday cake...
If only he had come home yesterday, all of this would have been his. Why didn't he come back? Why didn't he come back?
At that thought, Lu Jinnian's eyes started to sting. His throat was so blocked that he couldn't breathe. He reached out to cover his face, and a muffled voice came out of his throat. "Lu Jinnian, why didn't you come back?"
When Lu Jinnian came downstairs, he had already regained his usual calm and indifference. He took a shower and changed into a clean set of clothes. Without a word, he got into the car.
Along the way, Lu Jinnian maintained the same posture he had when he first got into the car. His eyes stared out the window, as though in a daze, but also as though he was thinking about something.
The atmosphere in the car was indescribably depressing.
The assistant didn't even dare to breathe heavily. He just stared straight ahead and drove the car swiftly towards the set.
Qiao Anhao didn't eat lunch at Mian Xiu Garden. She and Zhao Meng went straight to the restaurant at the hotel.
She hadn't slept well last night, so she wasn't in a good mood, so she was in low spirits. She took the plate and randomly picked some food, then found a place to sit down.
