Chu Ting glanced back at Huo Jinyan as he drove.
“President Huo, are you not heading back to the old residence?”
Huo Jinyan pinched the bridge of his nose.
“I’m not.”
Without saying anything else, Chu Ting drove towards Huo Jinyan’s residence.
When they were waiting for the traffic signal at an intersection in the commercial district, Huo Jinyan peered out of the window; he was suddenly taken by surprise.
Not knowing what it was about, Chu Ting continued to drive forward.
“Turn around.”
Chu Ting was a little startled when he heard this, but he still found space in front to make a U-turn.
Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi woke up almost at the same time. The two of them had slept for two hours.
They were woken up by hunger.
Lu Ning packed some things, slung her bag, and brought Lu Jingzhi out for dinner.
It was very chilly at night, so Lu Ning had Lu Jingzhi put on a jacket over his clothes. However, when they walked out of the hotel the two of them still shivered from the cold.
“Sister, let’s go that way.”
As the two of them had just woken up, their voices were nasally.
Lu Ning nodded and took Lu Jingzhi’s hand to lead him across the road.
He followed her obediently.
Without any destination in mind, the two of them simply walked down the street, having no idea what to eat. As they walked, they looked around.
Lu Ning took out her phone to check something.
“There seems to be a food street over there. How about I bring you to have some snacks?”
Lu Jingzhi nodded.
Lu Ning led him forward while looking at the route on her phone.
After crossing the intersection, they walked another fifty meters to the left and arrived.
Lu Ning glanced up at the signal light which had just turned green, and crossed the road with Lu Jingzhi.
“Are you cold?”
Lu Ning looked down at Lu Jingzhi and asked.
“Not cold.”
Lu Jingzhi shook his head obediently and looked at her.
Lu Ning smiled and reached out with her other hand to pull down his cap.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked forward. All of a sudden, someone patted Lu Ning’s shoulder.
At first, Lu Ning thought that someone had accidentally bumped into her, so she did not turn around. However, that someone then circled around to block her way, and she almost bumped into him.
She suddenly stopped and looked up, only to see Huo Jinyan.
Taking a a step back, she looked again.
She frowned slightly and stood rooted to the ground.
Looking at her, Huo Jinyan was about to speak when Lu Ning abruptly pulled Lu Jingzhi around him and ran forward.
Lu Ning ran without looking back until they reached the entrance of the food street. The two of them stopped to catch their breaths as they looked back.
Nobody was chasing them, and the both of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
Hence, they happily entered the food street to shop and eat.
There were also many small shops in the food street. While eating some skewers, the two of them walked into one of these shops.
Lu Jingzhi was also animated; there was a dazzling array of items in the shop, and he ran around picking gifts for Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi.
Lu Ning followed behind him, smiling.
As she stood by the shop window to wait for Lu Jingzhi, her attention was drawn to an exquisite brooch on the counter.
The brooch was in the shape of a sword. The handiwork was meticulous, and even the tiny hilt on the small brooch was carefully shaped.
Lu Ning took a few glances, her gaze fond.
Suddenly, a slender finger pointed at the brooch she was enraptured by.
“Wrap this up.”
Lu Ning was surprised when she heard that. She turned around and was met with Huo Jinyan’s jet-black eyes.
She spun around and wanted to dart away, but Huo Jinyan grabbed the collar of her jacket, making it impossible for her to escape.
Lu Ning was forced to face him.
“Why are you running?”
Huo Jinyan handed a black card over as he took the brooch from the shopkeeper.
The brooch was in a black velvet box, and Huo Jinyan presented it to Lu Ning.
“Here, a birthday present for you.”
Staring at the box, Lu Ning did not take it. She looked up at Huo Jinyan, his dark pupils dazzling her for a moment..
