The moment Qiao Anhao left Qiao Anxia's house, it started to rain.
Qiao Anxia stayed in an area where it was difficult to get a cab, and now that it rained, Qiao Anhao had to wait a long while before a one finally arrived.
When the cab reached Mian Xiu Garden, the rain had escalated to a huge downpour. After paying the cab driver, Qiao Anhao rushed towards Xu Jiamu's mansion. In less than five minutes, she was thoroughly drenched.
She ran into the house and stopped on the carpet by the entrance, ignoring her dripping clothes, as she fished for her phone in her bag. On the screen, there were multiple missed calls, all from Lu Jinnian.
The earliest one was three hours ago when she was still in Royal Palace, accompanying the hysterical Qiao Anxia. The room was filled with loud sounds back then, drowning out the sound of her phone, and afterwards she was preoccupied with chasing after Qiao Anxia, neglecting her phone.
