After the three of them finished eating, Lu Jingyan paid the bill and the three of them left the western restaurant together. Lian Qingyan smiled happily at him and said, “Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Lu. I’ll always remember this hard-to-come-by dinner. It’s done! I’ll go back first.” With that said, she waved at him and glanced at the expressionless Su Yanxi from the corner of her eye. She raised her eyebrows and added, “Oh, right! When we left the hospital in the afternoon, Yanxi’s car was driven back to the law firm by her assistant, Yi Yao. So, I’ll have to trouble you to send Yanxi back.”
Lu Jingyan glanced at Su Yanxi and replied succinctly, “It’s fine. It’s on the way.”
“Hehe! That’s good.” Lian Qingyan nodded in satisfaction and looked at Su Yanxi again, “Yanxi, I’ll go back first. See you next time. Bye.”
“Okay, drive carefully.” Su Yanxi nodded.
The night sky was dark, and the dark blue sky was decorated with a few scattered stars. A gentle breeze blew past, bringing with it a slight chill. Su Yanxi instinctively rubbed her arm and looked up at the night sky. Her calm expression gradually relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.
“Let’s go!”
The cold voice beside her pulled her back from her thoughts. When she turned to look, she saw that the man had already walked to the black Bentley and skillfully opened the door to get in.
Su Yanxi’s footsteps paused for a few seconds before she walked over. She reached out to open the door of the front passenger seat and got in. She fastened her seatbelt out of habit.
Lu Jingyan glanced at her, started the engine, and drove the car into the road illuminated by the neon lights.
They passed by a small supermarket nearby when the car was about to reach the riverside villa and Su Yanxi suddenly thought of something. She glanced sideways at the man and hurriedly said, “Stop the car. I want to buy something.”
Lu Jingyan frowned and looked at her when he heard that. He stopped the car by the roadside and asked coldly, “What are you buying?”
Su Yanxi pursed her lips as an unnatural look appeared in her eyes. She unbuckled her seatbelt and said, “Um… Wait for me here! I’ll be right back.”
Lu Jingyan narrowed his eyes as he watched the woman push open the car door and leave. His hands on the steering wheel slowly tapped rhythmically as he quietly watched her leave.
After five to six minutes, the phone on the dashboard suddenly rang with a pleasant ringtone. Looking at the string of numbers on the caller ID, Lu Jingyan’s eyes flashed with an unfathomable light, then he picked up the call. “What?”
“Um… Lu Jingyan, can you come over? I left my bag in the car when I got out of the car just now, so I didn’t take any money…” It was not hard to imagine how awkward and embarrassed Su Yanxi looked on the other end of the phone. After all, even her tone sounded a little weak and embarrassed.
After hearing her words, Lu Jingyan’s thick eyebrows could not help but twitch. If he did not remember wrongly, this was the first time she took the initiative to call him and also the first time she sought help from him.
Lu Jingyan leaned lazily against the back of the chair and sneered leisurely, “Did you forget your brain in the car before getting off the car? Do you need me to bring it along too?”.
Su Yanxi was speechless. The embarrassment and embarrassment on her face instantly vanished as she replied unhappily, “Forget it if you don’t want to come.”
“Wait for me.” Just as Su Yanxi was about to hang up the phone angrily, three extremely magnetic tones came through the sound waves. The call was hung up instantly, leaving only a beeping sound.
His words were like a small stone that was gently thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in her heart.
