Qiao Anhao called Xu Jiamu more than ten times, but he didn't pick up. In the end, she gave up and sent him a text. Then she walked out of the Golden Lounge and waited for a taxi.
The Golden Lounge was located in the center of the city, and it was a high-end shopping area. People who came here were usually chauffeured, so there were rarely any taxis.
Lu Jinnian hurried to the lobby. As he put on his suit jacket, he looked around the lobby, but he didn't see Qiao Anhao. He practically jogged out of the revolving doors of the Golden Lounge.
The doorman recognized Lu Jinnian, and when he came out, he greeted him politely, "Mr. Lu."
Lu Jinnian didn't even bother with the doorman's greeting. He scanned his surroundings before walking towards the side of the road. Because he was walking too fast, his breathing was a little unstable. He breathed heavily, and then he saw Qiao Anhao standing under a street lamp about two hundred meters away from the main entrance of the Golden Lounge.
She was wearing a light blue floral dress with a white cotton sunscreen. Her back was facing him, and she waved at him from time to time.
Just looking at her back, his brows softened a little. He stood there in a daze for a while before he strode over to her with large strides.
Just when he was about a hundred meters away from her, a taxi suddenly stopped in front of her. As though she had found her savior, she quickly pulled the car door open and got in. The car then drove into the inner lane, drowning in the midnight traffic of the capital.
Lu Jinnian's footsteps came to a halt because of Qiao Anhao's sudden departure.
Originally, when his assistant told him that Qiao Anhao needed someone to send her home, the glimmer of hope that surfaced in his heart vanished into thin air.
The night breeze mixed with the sound of car horns whistled past his ears. He stood there for a long while before turning around. Dragging his slightly heavy footsteps, he walked back to the Golden Lounge. But before he entered the brightly lit lobby, his footsteps came to a halt. He hesitated for a while, then turned towards the car park by the side.
He started the car and drove around Second Ring Road. In the end, he drove towards Mian Xiu Garden.
Lu Jinnian drove on the main road, so there weren't any traffic lights, so he didn't waste much time. He drove through the entrance of Mian Xiu Garden. When he turned into his villa, he coincidentally saw Qiao Anhao standing at the entrance of Xu Jiamu's villa. She was bent over with her wallet in hand, paying the taxi fare. Lu Jinnian instinctively stepped on the brakes.
She took the change, turned around, and walked into the courtyard behind her. Not long after, the lights in Xu Jiamu's pitch-black villa lit up.
Lu Jinnian waited for the taxi to drive away before he gently stepped on the accelerator. He moved a few hundred meters forward, stopping between Xu Jiamu and his villa.
After playing so late, she was a little hungry, so she cooked some frozen dumplings to fill her stomach. She threw the bowl and chopsticks into the sink and headed upstairs.
After a simple shower, she laid on the bed. With her phone in hand, she aimlessly browsed Weibo for a while. It wasn't until one in the morning that she turned off the lights and prepared to sleep.
