Chapter 1666: A New Beginning (6)
Qiao Yiyi glanced at the highway and lied through her teeth, in a timid tone that was in a complete mismatch with the look on her face, “I’m at the wedding venue. I- I’m not sure what to do now.”
She stuck her tongue out quickly after saying this.
After pretending for so long, even she was finding this character quite disgusting.
The assistant immediately said, “Mr. Lu is already on the way home. Why don’t you wait for a bit? I’ll have someone pick you up.”
Qiao Yiyi: …
She had already expected that Lu Nanze, the dumb*ss, would probably have forgotten about her. Unless she was an idiot, why should she be still waiting at the wedding venue for him?
Qiao Yiyi rolled her eyes and then said, “How long are you going to take? Everyone has left. I don’t want to be here alone. Sob, sob, sob.”
The assistant hesitated. “What do we do then? I’ll need at least an hour before someone gets there.”
Qiao Yiyi went silent.
Then she said, “In this case, I’ll just grab a cab.”
The assistant sighed in relief and replied, “Alright then. Madam Lu, do you have any money with you?”
The moment she heard this, Qiao Yiyi’s eyes lit up instantly. She patted her fat and full purse, and said, “No, I don’t!”
“I’ll transfer some to you then. Make sure you hire a reliable car to take you home.”
“Alright.”
After she hung up, she noticed that the assistant had already transferred a sum of 10 000 to her through WeChat.
She raised an eyebrow happily and tossed her cell phone on the passenger seat.
Then she looked ahead.
Lu Nanze had not only hit her today, he had forgotten her. She was going to get even once she got home.
At this thought, she floored the accelerator.
–
When Lu Nanze got home, it was already 10 p.m.
He got out of the car and headed upstairs straight away.
Then he entered his study and sat quietly on the balcony.
After a while, he walked back into the study, got out the bottle of Lafite that he had kept for years and started sipping the wine.
Qiao Lian’s painful childbirth cries echoed in his ears ceaselessly, causing him to be restless.
Perhaps now was the time for him to let Qiao Lian go and start his own life afresh.
But he reckoned that, for the rest of his life, he would never find another woman that he would love as much as he did Qiao Lian.
As this thought crossed his mind, he raised his wine glass and took another sip.
Pale from the blood donation, ruddiness instantly began to return to his cheeks after a few glasses of red wine.
He stood at the balcony, staring out into the distance.
Soon, he started to feel a little weak. It could have been from the blood donation, or it could have been from the alcohol. He sat on the reclining chair on the balcony and leaned back. Slowly, his eyes shut.
Soon, he was fast asleep.
In his sleep, he had a dream. He dreamed that he and Qiao Lian were back to a time when they were young. He took her hand and asked her, “Qiao Lian, will you go back in time with me?”
Qiao Lian looked at him and leaned into his embrace. She said, “Second Brother, yes, take me.”
He couldn’t resist bending over and kissing her.
But the moment his lips were about to meet hers, he heard a soft sound.
His eyes snapped open and he turned around sharply to look.
As he did so, he saw that there was a silhouette in his study. He had no idea when it had come in, but that silhouette appeared to be looking for something.
