The assistant had worked for Lu Jinnian for many years, so he could tell what he was feeling from Lu Jinnian's subtle expressions and actions.
When he tightened the corners of his lips, it was most likely a sign that he was in a bad mood.
However, when he had finished dinner, his mood had been lukewarm. How did he end up like this after going upstairs alone?
Even though the assistant was confused, he didn't have the guts to ask Lu Jinnian what had happened. Just as the car drove onto the main road, he asked in a business-like manner, "Mr. Lu, are we going straight to the airport?"
Lu Jinnian didn't make a sound.
The car became even quieter.
Lu Jinnian's personality had always been cold, giving people a feeling that it was difficult to get close to him. At this moment, there was an icy aura mixed with a sense of oppression emanating from his body, causing the atmosphere in the car to become oppressive and cold.
The assistant stared straight ahead, not saying a word. He just focused on driving, but deep down, he was getting more and more nervous.
When the car drove from the second ring road to the third ring road, it suddenly started to rain out of nowhere.
To ease his nervousness, the assistant said again, "It's raining."
As the assistant's voice fell, the rain started to get heavier. The car was filled with the pitter-patter of raindrops, but Lu Jinnian's voice still didn't ring out.
The assistant tried to speak twice, but he didn't get a reply. This time, he completely gave up and fell silent.
The rain got heavier, and the visibility got worse, so the car slowed down. Just as the car was about to turn onto the road to the airport, Lu Jinnian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Stop the car."
Lu Jinnian's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the assistant to hear. Then, the car came to a sudden stop.
The assistant turned his head and looked over at Lu Jinnian. "Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Jinnian didn't make a sound for a long time, his eyes fixed on a man and woman in school uniforms outside the car window. The man and woman were hurriedly running in the heavy rain, and in the end, they hid under the roof of a building by the side of the road. They only hid for two minutes before a taxi drove over. The two of them got into the car and left, but Lu Jinnian's gaze was still fixed on the roof where the man and woman had just hidden from the rain.
The assistant didn't understand what Lu Jinnian was looking at, but when he saw that Lu Jinnian didn't give any instructions, he couldn't help but ask again, "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Jinnian still didn't say a word, but he seemed to be in a daze. Many years ago, on a rainy day like this, he and Qiao Anhao had run into a run-down building to hide from the rain. That was the first time they had met. Neither of them had spoken to the other, they had only glanced at each other, and from their uniforms, they had known that they were from the same school.
"Mr. Lu?"
After some time, his assistant's voice rang out in the car again. Lu Jinnian's brows twitched slightly. He turned his head indifferently, his pitch-black eyes emotionless.
