He carried her into the car and fastened her seatbelt before going to the driver’s seat.
Lu Ning turned to him and smiled. She looked like she was really trying very hard to hold back her excitement.
Huo Jinyan could not help but smile as he slowly started the car.
Lu Ning was sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, and was staring out of the window the entire time, as if anything and everything could attract her attention.
When the car eventually drove out of the city and the roads became more and more remote, Lu Ning was surprised for a while before she turned to look at
Huo Jinyan.
“Where are we going?”
She just wanted to go out somewhere, but she did not know where she wanted to go, so Huo Jinyan decided on his own.
A cemetery appeared in front of Lu Ning’s eyes.
She was stunned for a moment before she understood something. Huo Jinyan looked ahead coolly.
Lu Ning looked at him and knew that he did not want to come.
But she had mentioned it before, so he remembered it.
Perhaps it was because they came early that it was still weighing on his mind.
The car slowed to a stop.
Huo Jinyan got out of the car and unloaded the wheelchair. He carried Lu Ning into the wheelchair and pushed her in.
Jiäng Zhe’s tombstone was in a shady and remote place at the foot of the mountain. It really was not a good location.
Lu Ning looked at the words on the tombstone. There was no form of address, only his name.
She felt that it was quite ridiculous. What extent must a person go to, that there wouldn’t even be anyone willing to prepare a tombstone for them?
He’s probably the only person who had been bad enough to reach that threshold.
Lu Ning looked over and suddenly spat.
“Ptui!”
Huo Jinyan was taken aback.
Lu Ning looked at the name on the tombstone.
She would not be kind enough to come and pay respects to the person who had caused her parents so much pain for so many years, and put her and her brother in danger. She would not forgive him even after he died.
She had just been holding her emotions back; but now, she could not pull him out and give him a beating, so she could only vent her anger in such a childish way.
After staying there for a while, she turned to look at Huo Jinyan.
“Let’s go.”
Huo Jinyan looked at her, and smirked. He raised his hand to touch her head, then went around and pushed her away.
The car slowly drove off.
Lu Ning thought that Huo Jinyan was about to drive back.
She should not be able to go out for too long, though she was quite happy to be able to come out for a while.
Now that her worries had been resolved, she felt quite good.
She sat in the front pa.s.senger seat and looked around casually until she suddenly noticed a pendant hanging in Huo Jinyan’s car.
He had never been someone who would hang such things. The car had always been clean and maintained in its original plain appearance.
But, why’s there suddenly a pendant?
Lu Ning was stunned and looked over carefully.
She thought that it was a gift from a girl, but after taking a closer look, she realized that it looked like a piano. There was even a little girl in front of the piano, playing it. She turned to look at Huo Jinyan.
Huo Jinyan also turned to look at her.
“Did you buy this?”
She pointed at the pendant.
Huo Jinyan glanced at it and nodded. “Yes. Do you like it? If you like it, I’ll buy another one for you.”
Lu Ning was taken aback and smiled at him. “Can’t you give this to me?”
Huo Jinyan smiled. “l can’t just give away something which I fell in love with at first sight.”
His words obviously had a double meaning to them; Lu Ning was no fool, so she could easily tell. The tips of her ears reddened.
Huo Jinyan was becoming more and more capable of saying such sweet
nothings.
Lu Ning sat back down and did not say anything; she simply looked at him helplessly.
Huo Jinyan was in a great mood and even turned to look at her with a teasing smile in his eyes.
Lu Ning simply turned around and ignored him.
It was when she turned to look out the window that she realized that there was something off about the route..
