Jiang Qiao hurriedly tried to dispel the rumors, "No, no, I was just saying it casually—" He then added, "Just saying it casually. We're going to buy out that Taoist, and I thought, you can't just leave, right?"
"Why don't you call me that?" Lu Kaiyun asked again.
Jiang Qiao was also stunned for a moment. What did she call him just now? How could she have forgotten?
"Maybe—maybe we're eating hotpot. Hotpot is more down-to-earth, not that fancy." Jiang Qiao smiled wryly. "So, I won't call you fancy anymore."
"Go to Dubai. I'll pick you up later?" Lu Kaiyun asked again.
"Just let Zhou Xiao take me across the river."
"I'm nearby and on my way. Zhou Xiao, there's no need to take a detour." Lu Kaiyun said again.
"Okay, alright." Jiang Qiao said.
After finishing the call, Jiang Qiao felt his face flush and his heart beating faster.
Zhou Xiao's mind seemed to be completely distracted from Jiang Qiao, and she didn't care who called. Even when Jiang Qiao said someone would come to pick her up later, she nodded, obviously absent-minded.
Lu Kaiyun called and said that his car had parked at the door and asked Jiang Qiao to go out.
It was a pity that Jiang Qiao didn't bring an umbrella. It started to rain on the road after Zhou Xiao picked her up.
"You wait." Lu Kaiyun said on the phone.
Then, he got out of the car with a huge black umbrella, came to Jiang Qiao's side, held the umbrella closer to her, and the two of them got into the car together.
Jiang Qiao, wearing a white organza dress that revealed a section of her graceful calves, looked incredibly charming standing next to Lu Kaiyun. After getting in the car, she asked, "Mr. Lu, why are you nearby?"
It's back to you again.
"There are many hotels in the west of the city, and all the social events are held there," Lu Kaiyun added.
Maybe it's an occupational disease for lawyers. Jiang Qiao wanted to ask again, what are the social engagements? But he was afraid that he would think he was meddling too much, so he didn't ask.
It was raining heavily, the wipers were blowing quickly, and Jiang Qiao looked to the side.
At a red light intersection, Jiang Qiao looked to the side and saw a young couple hugging each other tightly. The boy was holding an umbrella over the girl's head. The two were kissing passionately and looked like they were in love. Jiang Qiao thought, why don't these two kiss anywhere else? Why did they have to come here? She was watching with someone who was not suitable to watch with.
Obviously Lu Kaiyun saw it too, but he didn't say anything. Perhaps he was no longer surprised by this kind of behavior. After all, he was married, and he had done it with his wife hundreds of times, maybe even thousands of times.
Unconsciously, they arrived at Jiang Qiao's house. Lu Kaiyun drove directly to the basement to avoid getting wet. He said to Jiang Qiao, "This basement is yours. Number 89. Remember."
Jiang Qiao looked around and said, "I'll remember that."
"Didn't you know this garage belonged to you before?" Lu Kaiyun asked again.
"Well, I haven't been down yet. I'll give it to you after I get the key." Two people got out of the car.
"You really don't care about City A!" Lu Kaiyun said.
Jiang Qiao always felt that there was something else behind these words, but he didn't understand what the voice-over was.
The two took the elevator upstairs and Lu Kaiyun opened the door.
As soon as I opened the door, an unpleasant smell of opium hit me in the face. It was a brick house where people had just finished cleaning during the day, and the smell was still very strong.
Jiang Qiao quickly covered his nose and took a step back. Without even entering the door, he coughed and frowned, saying, "No, no, the smell is too strong. This is not a job for humans."
"Don't you want me to do this kind of work?" Lu Kaiyun said.
Jiang Qiao still covered her nose and stood there motionless, without letting go of her hand. She stood next to the elevator at the door, not saying a word.
Lu Kaiyun stood at the door and looked at her.
Jiang Qiao's heart was beating very fast. He didn't know what to say. He covered his nose with one hand and brushed away the dust in front of his eyes with the other hand, pretending not to look at Lu Kaiyun.
Lu Kaiyun stood at the door for a long time and then went in. He seemed to want to see how the renovation was progressing today.
After he came out, Jiang Qiao wanted to say, "I'll go to my aunt's house by myself," but it started raining again.
He could only get into Lu Kaiyun's car, and Jiang Qiao's face was burning.
Fortunately, the collar of her clothes was a high collar, and she pulled it up to cover half of her face.
"Are you still feeling embarrassed because of the last incident?" Lu Kaiyun asked.
Jiang Qiao just remembered that he said it was probably the last time when he threw her transfer letter.
"No."
"Hasn't it been that long since you last came to City A?" he asked again.
"Our law firm is already in Fengcheng. We have a branch there, and we also have a private branch."
"What private?"
"Are you in charge too?" Jiang Qiao asked.
Lu Kaiyun smiled and said, "You are the only one allowed to take care of me, but I am not allowed to take care of you?"
Jiang Qiao's heart was beating very fast again. She sat down in her seat again, looked out the window, and said, "Married girls are coming."
Lu Kaiyun stopped talking.
After sending Jiang Qiao home, Lu Kaiyun drove ahead and left in a cloud of dust.
Jiang Qiao's heart was about to burst out, but she restrained herself from turning her head.
After returning home, Jiang Qiao took a shower and went to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried!
Lying in bed, all that came to mind was Lu Kaiyun's expression when he said every day, "Didn't you let me do this kind of work?" Thinking of his father's death and his mother's serious illness, he couldn't help but feel a wave of heartache in his heart.
Jiang Qiao was in so much pain that she could hardly speak. She turned her body to the side and her tears fell on the pillow.
This was the first time Jiang Qiao felt so vulnerable, the first time since he was a child.
Jiang Qiao had been thinking about what he had said, and didn't realize that the light in the living room was on and Zhou Xiaoyu had arrived.
After Zhou Xiao came, he pushed the door of Jiang Qiao's room and came in.
After coming in, she got on Jiang Qiao's bed, then rested her head on Jiang Qiao's forehead and started crying very miserably.
Jiang Qiao also wanted to hug Zhou Xiao and even kiss him.
She didn't know where this sudden emotion came from, nor did she know if it was due to lust or because of her sexual orientation. In short, she wanted to hug Zhou Xiao and kiss her. She even wanted to kiss Zhou Xiao on the lips.
But she finally restrained herself.
"I always thought Fan Cong liked you, so I silently followed him. I didn't expect that someone would steal your girl away just like that! If I had known this, why didn't I become the one who stole your girl away? Why did I wait until now and run to City A?" Zhou Xiao said while crying.
Jiang Qiao ruffled her hair and asked, "Did you come to City A just for me?"
"What else? If you let me come, I will come." Zhou Xiao complained.
They used to be two impetuous women, but now they have become two little girls.
Jiang Qiao kept crying, and Zhou Xiao always thought she was crying for him, and had no idea what Jiang Qiao was thinking before.
