Kapitel 413: Silent Companionship (5)

Lu Jinnian leaned back into his car seat with his eyes shut. His phone screen lit up with the post Qiao Anhao has just uploaded on Weibo.

He didn't ask his assistant to drive in, but to stop at the entrance of Mian Xiu Garden's neighborhood. He got out of the car, alone, and walked in.

The gates of the mansion were locked. He searched his pocket for ages before he pulled out a set of keys. They were the keys Qiao Anhao had left him in the car on the day she left. He still clearly remembered when he gave her the keys, when they weren't that close. He had tried hard to appear distant, afraid that he would reveal the excitement he felt inside.

He unlocked it and pushed open the steel doors, stepping in. Without Madam Chen, the courtyard hadn't been swept for half a month already. The day Qiao Anhao left, the entire courtyard was filled with blooming flowers, but now, they were all withered on the floor.
