Lu Jinnian leaned against the back of the car and shut his eyes. Qiao Anhao's Weibo post was still on his phone screen.
Lu Jinnian didn't let his assistant drive the car in, stopping it at the entrance of Mian Xiu Garden. He got out of the car and walked in alone.
The door to the villa was tightly locked. He searched his pocket for a long time before pulling out a key. It was the key she had left in his car on the day she left. He could still remember clearly that when he had given her the key, they hadn't known each other that well. He had tried his best to maintain a cold expression, afraid that he would accidentally reveal the excitement in his heart in front of her.
He unlocked the lock and pushed the metal door open. Lu Jinnian stepped in. Without Madam Chen, the courtyard hadn't been cleaned for half a month. On the day Qiao Anhao left, the garden was full of blooming flowers, but now, they were all withered.
Lu Jinnian stepped on the fallen flowers and walked to the door. He keyed in the password, pushed the door open, and entered.
The house was empty, just like his heart. He walked up the stairs. The bedroom was still the same as the day Qiao Anhao left. The windows weren't closed. A few days ago, there had been a storm, and the rain had splashed onto the balcony, leaving patches of mud behind.
The silence in the room made Lu Jinnian's heart feel stifled. He looked at the bag on the floor of the changing room and remembered what Qiao Anhao had said before she left. Inside were the clothes she didn't want.
Lu Jinnian paused for a moment, then walked over and opened the bag. He took out the clothes one by one, and used a hanger to hang them up next to his own clothes.
The bag was filled with Qiao Anhao's toiletries. He washed them clean and placed them back in their original positions.
Once he was done, Lu Jinnian felt slightly better. The things she didn't want had returned to the distance, as though she was still living in his villa.
After Xu Jiamu was discharged from the hospital, he was trapped in the Xu family mansion for half a month. Even when he went for a walk in the courtyard, the housekeeper or Han Ruchu would make a fuss and order the servants to follow behind him, afraid that something would happen to him.
Even though he lived a life of luxury and was protected by everyone, he felt like he was in prison. It was depressing. Finally, one day, he couldn't take it anymore. While Han Ruchu was at the office and the housekeeper was cooking in the kitchen, he snuck out of the house.
Xu Jiamu slipped out of the door and called for a taxi. Once he got in, he started to make calls, trying to find friends he was close with to hang out.
Since Xu Jiamu couldn't drink, after thinking for a while, he decided to hold the gathering at the villa in Mian Xiu Garden. He even promised that he would show off his skills and cook a scrumptious dinner.
Before going to Mian Xiu Garden, Xu Jiamu specially went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of ingredients. He left his address for someone to deliver them to his door.
The Xu family would send people to clean the villa in Mian Xiu Garden every day, so it was very clean. Less than two minutes after Xu Jiamu arrived, Qiao Anxia and Chen Yang came over. Xu Jiamu invited them to sit, but before he could pour them a glass of water, his phone rang. The delivery from the supermarket had arrived.
Xu Jiamu pointed at the water dispenser, gesturing for Qiao Anxia to help herself. Then he pulled the door open and walked out. Standing at the door, Xu Jiamu and the delivery man were checking the list of items when he saw Lu Jinnian standing on the second floor balcony of the villa next door.
