After Lu Jinnian's assistant and Zhao Meng helped him stuff the things into the car, he said goodbye to the two of them and drove back to Mian Xiu Garden.
When Qiao Anhao climbed into the car, she saw a bouquet of flowers on the passenger seat. Just as she was about to ask Lu Jinnian where he got it from, she saw a card in the middle of the beautiful flowers. She picked it up and saw the simple words he had written: "For Qiao Qiao."
She smiled happily, took out her phone, and hugged the flowers to take a selfie. She raised her hands and pouted, acting cute. She was having a lot of fun.
Lu Jinnian, who was focused on driving, saw her actions through the rear view mirror. His expression was still cold, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Last night, Xu Jiamu drank until he passed out at the bar. When he opened his eyes, he didn't know what year it was. The bartender was fast asleep on the sofa beside him. He probably couldn't find his contact number last night, so he asked someone to pick him up and left him in the room.
Because of the hangover, Xu Jiamu had a terrible headache. He laid there dizzily for a while, then reached into his pocket. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find his phone. Then he remembered that he hated Han Ruchu for calling him all the time, so he left his phone in the car.
He rubbed his aching head, then stood up from the sofa. The position he had laid in last night wasn't right, so his whole body hurt like it was falling apart. The bartender was sleeping soundly, so Xu Jiamu didn't disturb him. He just reached into his wallet for a stack of money, placed it by his ear, and left.
When he walked out of the bar, Xu Jiamu realized that it was already evening. Even though he was sober, he was still in a daze. He walked a few circles around the parked cars outside before he found his own car. Sitting in, he picked up his phone. Realizing that it was out of battery, he switched it off automatically. Xu Jiamu laid on the steering wheel and closed his eyes for a while. When he heard the phone turn on, he turned his head, and saw that there was a string of messages and missed calls on the screen.
Most of them were Han Ruchu's calls and messages. They were densely packed on the screen, making him feel even more depressed. Then, he deleted all the missed calls and messages with one click. Only then did he feel a little better, and he started the car.
Xu Jiamu aimlessly drove around, then headed towards Mian Xiu Garden. He stopped the car in the courtyard of his villa, rolled down the window, and lit a cigarette. He stared blankly at Lu Jinnian's courtyard on the other side of the fence.
Xu Jiamu didn't know how long he had been staring for, but suddenly, he heard the sound of a car door opening. He snapped back to his senses and saw Qiao Anhao hugging a bouquet of flowers. She stepped out of the car with a warm smile on her face. Then, the driver's door opened and Lu Jinnian stepped out.
The moment Xu Jiamu saw Lu Jinnian's side profile, he didn't know why he was so flustered, but he abruptly retracted his hand from the car window and rolled it up.
Because his action was too hasty, the cigarette in his hand was accidentally thrown out, and it landed on the copy of the document on the passenger seat.
Xu Jiamu felt as though he had been electrocuted. As though he couldn't feel the heat or pain, he reached his hand out and forcefully extinguished the cigarette.
