With Little Ear’s temperant, would she turn tail and run the instant she saw Chinian in the car?
They said it would only take a few minutes, but those minutes were enough for Zhongli Wuzhi to endure.
Waiting and waiting, Lu Xiaoer was nowhere to be seen—instead, it was Song Jing who appeared!
Zhongli Wuzhi’s eyes narrowed for a mont, and at the sa ti, Song Jing also saw Zhongli Wuzhi.
Their eyes t, and neither looked away.
Zhongli Wuzhi stood up straight, and as Song Jing approached, he chuckled softly,
"Mr. Zhongli, hello."
Zhongli Wuzhi held his chin high, looking at Song Jing without speaking. His gaze swept over him from top to bottom, finally resting on his ticulously wrapped right hand.
Following Zhongli Wuzhi’s gaze, Song Jing looked at his bandaged right hand and couldn’t help but chuckle,
"Thanks to Mr. Zhongli."
"What does Doctor Song an by that? I don’t understand," Zhongli Wuzhi quipped, his lips curling.
Song Jing smiled, "Mr. Zhongli is a man of many affairs, so forgetful—never mind, let’s not ntion it."
"If Doctor Song is smart enough, he probably wouldn’t bring up his injured right hand in the future?"
Song Jing simply smiled and didn’t continue on Zhongli Wuzhi’s topic. Instead, he asked on his own,
"Mr. Zhongli, did you co looking for my Xiaoer?"
Upon hearing "my Xiaoer", Zhongli Wuzhi beca like a lion with its fur bristling!
The corners of Song Jing’s mouth twitched slightly. Zhongli Wuzhi’s presence was indeed terrifying, but Song Jing neither dodged nor retreated, seeming instead to be provoking him on purpose.
"Didn’t I say, never lay a finger on my woman again!"
Zhongli Wuzhi enunciated right into Song Jing’s ear, every word seeming to pop out through his teeth.
Song Jing smiled lightly, "Really? I truly don’t recall that."
Zhongli Wuzhi took a deep breath, "Song Jing, rember what you said just now. I’ll find a way... to make sure you rember it vividly, so much so that you’ll never dare forget it in this lifeti."
Song Jing wasn’t the least bit afraid; on the contrary, he took a step closer to Zhongli Wuzhi and whispered,
"I, too, have a way to make your life a misery."
Zhongli Wuzhi’s eyebrows drew together, his narrow eyes fixing intently on him!
Zhongli Wuzhi’s fist was clenched so tight it crackled, and it seed that the next second, he wouldn’t be able to resist throwing a punch. At that mont, Lu Xiaoer ran over,
"Song Jing!"
Song Jing stepped back a little, looking at Lu Xiaoer with a gentle smile,
"I went to the research institute to get a materials report, and on my way back, I saw Mr. Zhongli."
Lu Xiaoer nodded.
"Is he here... waiting for you?"
Song Jing asked sowhat doubtfully.
Lu Xiaoer looked embarrassed, but she quickly nodded, "Song Jing, you go inside first. I’ll be there in a mont."
Song Jing nodded and patted Lu Xiaoer’s shoulder,
"Don’t forget, we have a eting later."
After patting her shoulder, he withdrew his hand.
Lu Xiaoer nodded, "I rember."
Zhongli Wuzhi’s gaze fell on Song Jing’s left hand, almost itching to chop off the man’s hand!
Lu Xiaoer glanced at the car behind Zhongli Wuzhi, where Princess Chinian was clearly sitting.
Zhongli Wuzhi snapped back to reality, his gaze coldly shifting to Lu Xiaoer,
"You said you had sothing for ? Give it to , I have other matters and can’t delay."
Lu Xiaoer looked at Zhongli Wuzhi...
Their eyes t, silently staring at each other.
After a long while, Lu Xiaoer handed him an envelope, "Here you go."
Zhongli Wuzhi took the envelope, tauntingly saying, "It’s not a love letter you wrote for , is it?"
Lu Xiaoer chuckled, "If it were a love letter, would it be what you wanted?"
"If it’s a love letter, I’m actually quite keen on getting one." Zhongli Wuzhi, whose face was cold just a mont ago, softened considerably after receiving the letter.
"It’s not a love letter."
Lu Xiaoer didn’t like to get people’s hopes up, so she stated it directly.
Zhongli Wuzhi blinked, his face filled with confusion again.
He stared at Lu Xiaoer, only to see her smile warmly,
"Although it’s not a love letter, this is what you’d want even more."
"..."
"Eight o’clock tonight."
"..."
"I’ll wait for you."
Lu Xiaoer said these three words firmly.
Little did he know, at this very mont, the words "I’ll wait for you" stirred up thousands of waves in his heart.
He hadn’t opened the envelope, but he had already felt what was inside... a room card?
Zhongli Wuzhi stood frozen in place.
He watched Lu Xiaoer, dressed in a white lab coat, stride into the hospital.
The wind lifted her white coat...
She said... although it’s not a love letter, this is what he wanted even more.
Zhongli Wuzhi stood there, swallowing hard, his heart pounding rapidly and fiercely.
Lu Xiaoer wasn’t playing with him, was she?
Could it be... could it be a trap?
At eight tonight, it should be her coming... this woman wouldn’t be planning so trick to play on him, would she?
What he wanted was her.
It had always been her!
Just thinking about it now drove him mad.
Lu Xiaoer! What ga are you playing with fire!
At this mont, Zhongli Wuzhi was entirely bewildered, with no space left for thought, lost in a haze.
Little Ear was never one to be trifled with.
They had almost broken up, and he deliberately found another woman to make her jealous... would she not settle the score?
Giving him a room card, arranging a rendezvous at eight, giving him what he wanted most.
Zhongli Wuzhi felt like he was going insane; his mind was consud by one single thought, the only thought.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Princess Chinian could only see Zhongli Wuzhi’s profile, but watching him stand by the car door, restless and fidgeting...
Princess Chinian’s heart beca as agitated as Zhongli Wuzhi’s.
What on earth did Lu Xiaoer give him?
While Zhongli Wuzhi was conflicted outside the car, Princess Chinian was struggling inside.
She didn’t like this feeling, really didn’t...
To Zhongli Wuzhi, it was love at first sight when she pinned him down in the porch, his drunken state not irritating her at all.
In that mont, she believed in her country’s legend.
A black bracelet, given to the person who captivates your heart at first glance, to bind the mont of love at first sight, ensuring that person never escapes your sight again.
She had done so, and felt that everything happening between her and Zhongli Wuzhi was following that legend of her country.
But why then did soone else have to co in between?
The first ti Princess Chinian learned of Lu Xiaoer’s existence, her heart filled with a sense of crisis.
She knew very little about Lu Xiaoer, and Zhongli Wuzhi ntioned her only in two or three sentences.
Yet, she had this strong sense of crisis.
The way Lu Xiaoer had looked at her just now.
That look... completely disregarding her presence, made Princess Chinian feel terrible.
It was like two warriors about to enter the arena, who haven’t even started their fight to the death, but just with the eye contact before going on stage... the outco was already determined.
