It was almost half past nine. Two hours had passed since their agreed time. Did she mean that she wasn't coming?
Thirteen years... He had waited for thirteen years for this day. He really didn't want to die before achieving success, he really didn't want to end up like this.
Lu Jinnian pulled his gaze back from the bright lights in the distance. He picked up the phone on the table and called Qiao Anhao once again. This time, the phone rang three times before it was picked up. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but just as he called out the word "Qiao", the phone was hung up and the busy tone came from the other end.
When Lu Jinnian called again, just like before, no one picked up.
Why did she hang up after picking up? Was she still mad at him for buying Xu Enterprises? Was she still mad at him for throwing a tantrum in the afternoon and leaving her behind?
But she picked up, which meant that she could see the phone... Lu Jinnian suddenly felt as though he had seen a glimmer of hope. He hurriedly lowered the phone and sent a message to Qiao Anhao: [Qiao Qiao, I was in a bad mood this afternoon. I shouldn't have left you behind. I'm sorry.]
As Lu Jinnian sent the message, he saw the words "This message has been delivered" on the screen. He knew that Qiao Anhao had seen his message, so he hurriedly sent another one: [Qiao Qiao, I know you can see my message. I'm still waiting for you at Lijing Xuan. Come over now, let's talk, okay?]
No one replied to his message. He held onto his phone and waited for a while before calling her again. Still, no one picked up, so he sent another message: [Qiao Qiao, I will wait for you. I will wait for you until you come.]
After another long wait, Lu Jinnian sent another message: [If you don't come, I'll keep waiting.]
After sending the message, Lu Jinnian raised his hand to rub his face. Then he stood in front of the balcony railings, staring at the lights in the distance.
He didn't know just how long he had been standing there, but halfway through, the phone in his hand vibrated. He picked it up excitedly, only to see that it was a weather report from 10086.
Lu Jinnian dropped his arms in disappointment.
At eleven o'clock, the manager of Lijing Xuan came to inform Lu Jinnian that it was time to close.
The assistant glanced over at Lu Jinnian, who was stubbornly standing in front of the balcony railing, not moving for a long time. He gestured to the manager and walked out of the room. He gave the manager a number and asked them to wait a little longer.
Perhaps it was Chinese Valentine's Day tonight, but it was already eleven o 'clock in Beijing. Although they were on the top floor of Lijing Pavilion, they could still faintly hear someone singing on the overhead bridge, "Do you know I'm waiting for you? If you really cared for me, why would you spend the endless nights with me... "
Waiting was the best way to hone one's patience, but it was also the best way to exhaust one's patience. As the clock struck midnight, the originally bustling city of Beijing instantly became exceptionally quiet.
In this silence, Lu Jinnian could clearly hear his own heartbeat, panic, uneasiness, and fear.
He was afraid to lose her...
