Chapter 54: Red Ears

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

I remember. Why?

I still remember that day. I was squatting by the roadside and was about to cry when you descended from the sky like a G.o.d. Jin Nian smiled. Thinking back to that time, she was really childish.

Lu An chuckled and could not help but scold her. You still have the cheek to laugh?

Its such a coincidence that you ran into me when you went out to buy water. On the other end of the phone, Lu An was smiling meaningfully. What Jin Nian was unaware of was that he had almost searched the entire Binhai city that day before he found her by the roadside. At that time, he thought that she had such a small frame, what if she was blown away by the typhoon? Even if there was no typhoon, the lightning and thunder outside would probably scare her out of her wits.

The images in his mind became more and more miserable. He made all the servants, security guards, and drivers go out to look for her. When the family members saw that the eldest young master who usually got what he wanted seemed to have gone crazy, they did not even dare to breathe loudly. In the end, Lu An finally found the pitiful little girl squatting by the roadside.

He did not care how heavy the rain was outside. He pushed open the car door and ran away. He put his coat on her head. He was so anxious that his voice was hoa.r.s.e, but his expression remained calm. What are you doing here? I was just pa.s.sing by to buy something.

The girl thought it was a coincidence, but this cold-faced but warm-hearted young man in front of her had searched the streets and alleys for an entire day to find her.

Lu An had been in Binhai city for a few hours. Thinking back to how Jin Nian had warned him not to send flowers to the company, he tactfully did not go to the company to disturb her. He waited in the corridor of her house for more than an hour. He watched as the rain outside grew heavier, but she was nowhere to be seen. He could only call her.

Lu An, is this white jeep yours?

Its me.

After the call ended, the white car stopped in front of Jin Nians car. Lu An was dressed in black. He pushed open the car door and got out of the car. He walked towards her in the rain. Jin Nian suddenly thought of the Korean drama she watched last year. Was Lu An a soft-hearted G.o.d?

Jin Nian looked at him through the window. In the dark of the night, his expression revealed a faint sense of alienation, and his clothes were quickly soaked. He was tall and walked very quickly. The man in front of her gradually overlapped with the domineering young man in her memory. His appearance did not change much, but his eyes had become much deeper with the catalyst of time. However, something suddenly appeared in Jin Nians mind. Every time this person appeared, it seemed to be to save her.

Lu An quickly walked to Jin Nians car and opened the car door for her. Water droplets were dripping from his well-defined fingers, but he did not seem to care. He opened a black umbrella and placed it on Jin Xiangsi, signalling for her to get out of the car.

But what about the car? Jinnian was still in a daze. Just leave it here?

Ive arranged for someone to come over. You dont have to worry. The two of them were close to each other, so Lu Ans voice was not loud and low. She was thankful that it was dark now, or else the other party would have discovered that her ears had turned red.

She got out of the car and subconsciously used her hand to support Lu Ans arm. She said in a soft voice, Youre so fast. It hasnt even been fifteen minutes.

Lu Ans eyes were pitch-black, and he focused his gaze on her face calmly. I was just pa.s.sing by. Do you believe me?

Jin Nian snorted. Do you think Im a three-year-old kid?

She went on saying, You lied to me, Lu An. That time, you were out looking for me for an entire day. Your grandmother told me personally afterwards.

The rain did not stop. Jin Nians drenched clothes clung to her body and she was s.h.i.+vering from the cold. Fortunately, Lu An had turned on the heater in his car, so she was able to recover a little.

When she finally got home, Jinnian saw herself in a sorry state in the mirror at the door. Her clothes were wet and stuck to her body. The outline of her light-coloured underwear was revealed through the thin fabric. The makeup on her face was ruined, and her hair was dripping. She was as ugly as she could be.

What was even more terrifying was that Lu An had already seen her ugly appearance before she did. No wonder Lu An insisted that she put on her coat when she got into his car. She declined, saying that she was not cold, but Lu An insisted. She wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

Jin Nian could not care less about Lu Anans presence. She grabbed a change of clothes and ran into the bathroom. Theres food and water in the fridge. If youre hungry, go get it yourself.

Of course, Lu An would not stand on ceremony with her. The last time she came over, Lu An could not stand her house. It was not that Young Master Lu was being pretentious because the place was small. It was just that when he thought about how other men had stepped foot here before, he felt inexplicably unhappy..
