Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo Jinyan looked at her and said in a low voice, “You don’t like me sitting beside you?”
Lu Ning was startled for a moment. Before she could say anything, Huo Jinyan had already stood up. Looking at her, he silently let go of her hand and turned to leave.
Lu Ning began to panic a little—that was not what she meant.
It was just that she had a guilty conscience…
“I wasn’t… I didn’t mean that…
She said that towards Huo Jinyan’s back, but Huo Jinyan did not stop and walked straight out. It was unclear if he had heard her.
However, even if he heard it, he did not know if he could believe it. After all, Lu Nings previous actions seemed to confirm something.
However, it was impossible for Lu Ning to rush up and explain this matter to Huo Jinyan so directly.
She could only stand there, frozen, and watch Huo Jinyan walk out.
Gu Chen looked up at her, then lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand. As though speaking to nobody in particular, he said, “It’s better if some things are explained clearly.”
Lu Ning knew this as well, but how was she going to explain it to him? She could not tell him everything, could she? She could not just tell him that it was because she had secretly kissed him and she felt guilty…
Lu Ning tousled her hair in frustration.
Lu Ning had been thinking about how to explain this to Huo Jinyan the entire afternoon. She had thought of several excuses, but none of them were satisfactory
She had thought that Huo Jinyan would come over to change his dressing after school in the afternoon.
When school ended, Lu Ning started to get nervous. She had not thought of what to say yet, and she did not know how to explain it to Huo Jinyan when he arrived.
When Gu Chen saw her sitting on the sofa and staring a hole at the door, he roughly knew what she was thinking.
“He’s already had his dressing changed at noon.”
Hearing that, Lu Ning was startled for a moment. Then, Gu Chen’s words flashed through her mind once more, and she was stunned.
“He’s already changed his dressing today?”
She asked again to make sure she did not hear wrongly.
Gu Chen nodded.
She was no longer nervous, but she suddenly felt a little disappointed.
After sitting for a while, Lu Ning got up from the sofa.
Gu Chen looked up at her. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m not feeling well, so I’m going to sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up if you’re leaving.”
Gu Chen looked at her and nodded. He watched her dejected figure disappear behind the curtains.
Gu Chen sighed slightly and continued with his work.
Huo Jinyan did not come because he went to look at some new lodgings.
He left not long after school ended.
His original address had been exposed. In order to avoid being ambushed again, Chu Ting had been busy with finding new lodgings for them today, and had found a secluded residential area.
The area was very quiet and there were very few people around. It was specially built for rich people who preferred peace and quiet.
Chu Ting drove Huo Jinyan to the residence.
After observing Huo Jinyan’s expression in the mirror a few times, he realized that he did not seem too happy today.
After experiencing that attack, nobody could be happy, but in the past Huo Jinyan would simply be expressionless. However, today Chu Ting could clearly feel his unhappiness and that he was in a very bad mood.
He made a bold guess that it might be related to Lu Ning. After all, there were not many people who could make Huo Jinyan emotional. Old Master was one of them, and Lu Ning was another.
He really could not think of anyone else who could affect Huo Jinyan’s mood.
However, even if he had guessed it, Chu Ting did not dare to say anything rashly. It would be tragic if he ended up being implicated.
They arrived at the location silently..
