Lu Jinnian went upstairs to the study room to grab a document before heading back downstairs.
When Madam Chen saw Lu Jinnian come out of the elevator, she immediately stopped what she was doing. "Mr. Lu, are you leaving?"
Lu Jinnian nodded coldly, heading straight for the entrance. After changing his shoes, he picked up the car keys. He turned his head to look at Madam Chen, who was wiping the Qing dynasty porcelain in the living room. After pausing for two seconds, he finally asked, "How has Madam been these two days?"
When Madam Chen heard Lu Jinnian's question, she immediately replied honestly, "Madam's body was much better yesterday, but today, she seemed more energetic, so she should be fine..."
Before Madam Chen could finish, Lu Jinnian grabbed the car keys, opened the door, and walked out.
It was as though the person asking about Qiao Anhao's situation wasn't him, but Madam Chen who insisted on telling him.
Lu Jinnian pulled the car door open and sat in. He turned the steering wheel and drove to the side of the empty road. When he looked at the road through the rearview mirror, he saw Qiao Anhao in the flowerbed with a parasol in her hand. Lu Jinnian's eyes flickered slightly, and he slammed on the brakes, stopping the car on the spot.
Lu Jinnian stared unwaveringly at Qiao Anhao in the rearview mirror for a long time, then pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. His actions were smooth and noble, but his gaze never left the rearview mirror.
Only when the cigarette burned out and the heat reached his fingertips did Lu Jinnian snap back to reality. He continued to stare at the rearview mirror, and casually put out the cigarette in the ashtray. He then rolled down the window to disperse the smell of smoke in the car. He forcefully pursed his lips, forcing his gaze away from the rearview mirror. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and he fiercely stepped on the accelerator. In an instant, the car sped out of the entrance of the villa's courtyard.
Qiao Anhao picked a huge bouquet of flowers, happily returning to the house. She then asked Madam Chen to bring out the empty vase, and placed the flowers inside. She then used a pair of scissors to cut off the excess leaves. Satisfied, she placed the vase in the middle of the table.
When Qiao Anhao went to wash her hands, Madam Chen suddenly remembered that Lu Jinnian had come back and left. She said to Qiao Anhao, "Madam, Mr. Lu just came back, he took a document and left."
Qiao Anhao paused for a moment, then expressionlessly replied with an "Oh". She continued to lower her head and wash her hands at a steady pace. However, her originally relaxed mood from picking flowers instantly became downcast.
