Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Chen Rong is very busy today and can’t leave,…
10.
Jiang Nian nodded, checked the time, and asked Lu Zhao, "Mr. Lu, would you like something to eat?"
Lu Zhao looked over and Jiang Nian said, "You helped me before and even treated me to a meal at the shooting range. I didn't do anything except say thank you. It was really rude. How about I treat you to a meal today, please?"
He quickly added, "Next time there's a chance, I'll formally treat you to a meal."
Lu Zhao said, "Okay."
Jiang Nian asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Lu Zhao glanced at the plate in front of Jiang Nian and said, "Just the same as yours."
Jiang Nian's eyes lit up and he introduced enthusiastically, "This little rose honey cake is really delicious. I'll get it for you. You can try it later."
Jiang Nian returned quickly, carrying a pale pink cake decorated with rose petals. Lu Zhao took a bite and said, "It's delicious."
Jiang Nian had the look of someone who had found a confidant. He said happily, "I was talking about something delicious."
He said enthusiastically, "I'll get you another one."
Lu Zhao agreed.
Jiang Hao took some time out from socializing to visit Jiang Nian. When he arrived, he saw Lu Zhao and Jiang Nian sitting together, discussing food in a harmonious atmosphere. He was a little surprised and confused. Jiang Nian had been staying at home, so how did they know each other?
Jiang Nian had already thought of what to say and said to Jiang Hao, "Mr. Lu is a very nice person. We hit it off right away." He looked calm, as if he had really just met Lu Zhaocai.
Seeing Jiang Nian deceiving his brother without blushing or breathing heavily, Lu Zhao recalled Jiang Nian's lively eyes filled with nervousness and anxiety when they first met outside the wall of the Jiang family villa.
Lu Zhao looked towards Jiang Nian and saw Jiang Nian winking at him secretly, then pretending to lower his head to eat when his brother turned around.
Lu Zhao suppressed his smile and said to Jiang Hao, "Yes."
Since Lu Zhao said so, Jiang Hao didn't think much about it. He stayed for a while, ate some fruits that Jiang Nian brought, and left.
Soon, elegant music began to play, and handsome men and beautiful women began dancing on the dance floor. Jiang Nian naturally didn't want to join in the fun. He was well fed, the room was warm, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the decorative flowers. He felt a little lazy.
Jiang Nian turned to look out the window and was surprised to find that it was snowing outside. The snow had been falling for a while, and the ground was covered with a layer of white.
Jiang Nian couldn't help but walk to the window, his eyes flickering, and his unfulfilled wish of playing in the snow on Christmas Day came to mind.
It rarely snows in Jinhai, but this year it snowed twice for the first time. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and if you miss it today, you may have to wait until next year to see snow.
Behind him, there was a lot of activity and the dance would take a long time to end, which was a good opportunity to go out. Jiang Nian couldn't suppress his thoughts and couldn't wait to go out.
He soon discovered that Lu Zhao was standing beside him, watching the falling snow outside the window with him.
Feeling Jiang Nian's gaze, Lu Zhao looked over, his dark pupils holding a smile and a look of understanding, as if he knew what he was going to do.
It was strange, maybe because he knew Lu Zhao was Shen Rong's future partner and he treated Lu Zhao like one of his own, or because Lu Zhao knew he would secretly go out and have fun without telling his family, but Jiang Nian showed his true self when he was with Lu Zhao, just as relaxed and at ease as when he was with Shen Rong.
He leaned close to Lu Zhao and whispered, "I'm going to go out for a while, don't tell anyone."
Lu Zhao also replied in a low voice: "Okay, I won't tell anyone else."
The night was deep. In front of Jiang Nian was the drifting snow outside the window and the dim lights obscured by the snow, while behind him was the bustling banquet hall.
In order to facilitate their conversation, the two of them were very close to each other at the moment. Lu Zhao deliberately lowered his voice, which was magnetic and pleasant. There was a smile in his eyes and his expression was very gentle, as if he was telling a little secret that belonged only to them and that no one else knew.
Jiang Nian was first enchanted by the voice, then a little jealous. Lu Zhao not only had good looks, but also a great voice. He, a minor supporting character, really couldn't compare to the protagonist. But he was still happy. Having one more person know about his secret trips out without his family's knowledge felt like sharing the burden.
He clasped his hands together to express his gratitude to Lu Zhao, then took out his cell phone to send a message to his mother and brother, saying that he was a little tired and was going to the lounge to rest.
His mother replied quickly and asked if he wanted to accompany him. Jiang Nian immediately said no and told her to have fun with her friends, so Lan Xin didn't insist.
After sending the message, Jiang Nian checked the location of his brother and parents in the crowd. Seeing that they didn't notice him, he walked towards the back door with confidence along the corner.
After walking a few steps, he found Lu Zhao following behind him and couldn't help but look at him with confusion.
Lu Zhao looked calm: "It's snowing heavily and cold outside, and it's quiet. Chen Rong is very busy today and can't leave, so I'll look after you for him."
Jiang Nian didn't want Lu Zhao to accompany him. Lu Zhao was Shen Rong's future partner, and as Shen Rong's confidant, he needed to avoid suspicion.
But since Lu Zhao said that, he had no way of refusing.
In his heart, his opinion of Lu Zhao became better and better - he was rich, gentle and considerate, and he loved his friends' friends as well as their friends. What a perfect person he was.
Jiang Nian really didn't know how to thank Lu Zhao, so he habitually gave Lu Zhao a good guy card.
Lu Zhao was sure that the words "You are such a good person" were the highest compliment in Jiang Nian's heart.
He laughed and said, "How many nice guy cards have you given me?"
Jiang Nian blinked, as if he always gave Lu Zhao the "nice guy" card every time he saw him. He rubbed his nose, feeling a rare sense of embarrassment. Fortunately, Lu Zhao didn't continue to tease him about this issue.
The two quickly slipped out of the banquet hall and took the elevator to the first floor.
Jiang Nian's heart was about to jump out. He quickly came to the door and was about to go out, but was stopped by Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao motioned him to wait, and asked the hotel waiter to bring a brand new hat, scarf, mask and gloves, and then put the coat that the assistant had just brought over on Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian wanted to return the clothes to him, but Lu Zhao said in a gentle but unquestionable tone, "It's cold outside, put it on."
Jiang Nian's coat was given to the assistant by his brother. In such weather, he was weak and could not go out in a thin suit unless he wanted to go to the hospital.
But Jiang Nian had never worn clothes belonging to anyone else, and that person was Lu Zhao. Because of Shen Rong, he felt a little awkward.
The clothes on his shoulders seemed like a hot potato, neither to return them nor to wear them. Seeing him hesitate to move, Lu Zhao gave him a questioning look.
Lu Zhao's eyes were honest, devoid of any selfish motives. Jiang Nian suddenly felt a surge of shame. Lu Zhao was caring for him like a brother, and he was being so timid and fearful. It was really wrong. He put on his coat as calmly as possible.
