Chapter 606

The two cars entered Beijing one after the other . When they reached the main road, Lu Jinnian didn't give Qiao Anhao any opportunity to react and suddenly sped up . By the time Qiao Anhao finally made the turn, the road ahead was already empty .

Qiao Anhao slowed the car gradually, stopping at the side . She looked at the road ahead in a daze, not knowing which lane to take .

In the end, she had still lost him . . .

She sat in her car for a long while before reaching for her phone to look at the time —it was already midnight . The New Year had arrived, and she first called the middle-aged helper that was taking care of the old granny to ask if it was convenient for her to go over now to return the car . The woman assured her that it was fine to return it the next day .

After hanging up, Qiao Anhao headed to her newly bought apartment unhappily .

When she reached it, she sat down on the sofa lethargically . Only then did the heartache slowly start to creep in .

She lowered her head to look at the faint bloodstains on her socks, pouting sadly . She carefully removed the socks from her feet to inspect the wounds – many tiny abrasions covered her white, flawless skin .

Qiao Anhao took out a box of antiseptic wipes from under the coffee table and removed a packet to clean her wounds . The stinging sensation sent her face into a crumpled frown .

After ensuring that the wound was clean, she lost all her energy . Hugging a pillow, she lay on the sofa .

After so much difficulty, she had finally found Lu Jinnian, but he didn't seem to want to see her .

In the past, she had always believed that when they reunited, it would be the start of her happiness, but as how things were now, she had clearly been naive .

But she could understand his behavior .

In the beginning, he had waited the entire night for her, something that must have been an extremely great torment for him .

Lowering her head, she saw the box of cigarettes and a piece of paper . She reached out and pick the paper, seemingly making up her mind . She stared at it with a determined gaze .

–

Qiao Anhao indeed didn't give up, she didn't intend to hide either . Even though she had lost him the night before, it didn't mean that she was never going to find him again .

The next morning, before the sun had risen, she climbed out of bed and headed to the Qiao house to celebrate the New Year's . After greeting her aunt and uncle, she accompanied them for breakfast before leaving with a random excuse . She then drove the car back to the old granny .

Once she returned the car, she didn't rush off but instead stayed behind to keep the granny company .

The old woman was one of the few people that Lu Jinnian held deep in his heart . After disappearing for such a long time, he didn't contact anyone, but on the night before New Year's, he had appeared at his mother's tomb . It meant that he would definitely visit the granny .

Hence, Qiao Anhao decided to wait it out .

Every morning, she would visit the granny and stay till it was late at night .

On the fourth night of the new year, just as she had predicted, Lu Jinnian appeared .
