Three days have passed since that night when the whole city was ablaze with light.
Qin Huai still did not appear.
Lu Qingxue waited expectantly, her mind elsewhere.
Distracted, the Lu Group's work was neglected.
Fortunately, such a large group company has many helpers, and the company's operation has not been affected even in the short term due to the absence of Lu Qingxue as the chairman.
Moreover, this 'shining incident' unexpectedly brought great benefits to the Lu Group.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
However, some directors still clung to their minor faults and were always trying to stir up trouble.
Lu Qingxue couldn't care less about all that.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of Qin Huai every day, and also of her missing father.
Unfortunately, her abilities were limited. So many influential people in the world couldn't find Lu Zenian's whereabouts, so where could she look for him?
This world is not changed by anyone's will.
The sun still rises and sets every day.
Night fell, and the stars disappeared.
The temperature in Chongcheng dropped to only five or six degrees Celsius, and people on the street were wearing thick cotton-padded coats.
Even the most beauty-loving woman has to cover herself up completely.
For men, it is ultimately a regret.
On an unnamed mountain near the city, a figure descended along the winding mountain road and stood by the deserted roadside.
He was carrying a patched backpack, wearing a thick military overcoat, and had a handsome and resolute face, exuding masculine charm.
Especially those deep eyes, like the deep sea or the stars, arouse curiosity and a desire to explore and understand them.
This person was none other than Qin Huai, who had fully recovered from his injuries.
boom……
A purple sports car, its headlights blaring, sped past.
Qin Huai gave a thumbs up, wanting to hitch a ride.
But the sports car didn't slow down at all, and roared past, bringing with it gusts of cold wind.
Qin Huai was not disappointed and continued to wait.
He didn't have to do this, but he chose this more difficult way.
It's all just for show.
He should at least make himself look a bit travel-worn, otherwise how could Lu Qingxue see how difficult his journey back was?
The saying goes, "If it's difficult, we should tackle it; if it's not difficult, we should create difficulties and still tackle it."
The same principle applies.
This is the wisdom of life; those who understand it will understand, and those who don't won't understand even if you explain it.
boom……
The blinding headlights came on again.
It was that purple sports car that had returned and parked by the roadside.
The car window rolled down, and the person in the driver's seat beckoned to Qin Huai with a finger.
Qin Huai crossed the road and came to the car. Under the lamplight, he paused slightly.
This is a beautiful woman.
Her long, brown hair was slightly wavy and very silky.
Her oval face, both charming and pretty, exudes a natural allure.
With her peach blossom eyes, cherry lips, and a slight smile at the corners of her lips, she looked like a fox spirit who had stepped out of a painting.
Qin Huai never expected to encounter a woman whose beauty rivaled that of Lu Qingxue so late at night.
The woman was also sizing up Qin Huai.
After a moment's hesitation, he chuckled and asked, "Where are you going?"
Her voice was like heavenly music, languid and captivating, making one's blood boil the moment they heard it.
How can one word, "flattery," possibly describe it?
"Uh, I need to go to the city center. If you don't mind, could you give me a ride?" Qin Huai pursed his lips slightly, speaking cautiously with a hint of shyness and embarrassment.
His expression and tone were like those of a naive, innocent boy next door.
"Get in the car."
The woman smiled again.
"Is it really possible?" Qin Huai asked anxiously.
"What? I'm not afraid you're a bad person, so why are you afraid I am?" the woman asked with a light laugh.
Upon seeing this, Qin Huai felt his bones go weak.
He was secretly amazed.
What a naturally alluring woman!
The sports car he drives is worth millions, clearly indicating that he comes from a wealthy and influential family.
Strangely, a woman like this shouldn't be unknown in Chongcheng.
But Qin Huai had absolutely no recollection of it.
Seeing that Qin Huai did not respond, the woman said again, "Get in the car quickly, don't waste time."
"oh."
Qin Huai hesitated for a moment, but eventually got into the passenger seat.
Then he scratched his head and asked weakly, "How do I open the car door?"
There were no handles on the car doors.
The woman found it amusing but didn't answer; instead, she reached into the car and pressed a button.
The car door slowly lifted up, like a bird's wing.
Qin Huai was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"
"Get in the car."
"Oh... thank you..."
After Qin Huai got into the car, the door slowly closed.
"Fasten your seatbelt."
"good……"
Qin Huai nodded awkwardly and fastened his seatbelt.
The woman lightly presses the accelerator and turns the steering wheel all the way to the left.
boom!
The sports car spun 180 degrees on the spot and then shot away like an arrow.
The immense centrifugal force startled Qin Huai, and the sudden surge in speed terrified him, causing him to close his eyes in fear.
After a while, Qin Huai cautiously opened his eyes and found that everything outside the car was blurry, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
The woman was a truly skilled driver; she drove at breakneck speed with an exceptionally calm expression, and proactively asked, "What's your name?"
“Chu…Chu River,” Qin Huai replied.
"What a coincidence, my name is Chu Ke, which is three strokes less than yours," the woman said with a smile.
"Yes...it is quite a coincidence..."
Qin Huai glanced at the woman, and seeing that she was also looking at him, his face flushed red, and he immediately lowered his head.
