After a pause, Mrs. Lin reminded her, "Remember to give Sergeant Lu a call."
Jiang Yao nodded and dialed Lu Xingzhi's number.
Coincidentally, when Lu Xingzhi received Jiang Yao's call, he was about to call her. He realized it was time for him to go back and make lunch, so he wanted to ask Jiang Yao if she would be home at noon. If she were not, he would not need to go back; he would go to the cafeteria to eat instead.
"You're not coming home at noon?" Lu Xingzhi's heart sank when he heard Jiang Yao say that she had an appointment with Luo Ruoran at noon. It was his birthday, but his wife had to accompany someone else's wife.
Even though he felt aggrieved, Lu Xingzhi did not show it. He told her to drive carefully on the road before they hung up.
Jiang Yao met Luo Ruoran in the restaurant an hour after she finished her call with Lu Xingzhi. She suspected that Luo Ruoran had driven all the way there.
