In the dead of night, neither of them spoke inside the car. The silence was eerily broken only by the sound of the car tires crushing the ground beneath.
At this time, very few cars remained on the road, leading to unhindered traffic. Aside from two red lights, it was a smooth drive home.
They returned to the villa.
Jing Yiren was about to enter the bathroom when she placed her hand on the doorknob. Lu Ming, who had entered the room with her, grabbed a pillow without pause and abruptly left.
With a 'thud', the door slammed shut, echoing loud as thunder.
"..." Jing Yiren was confused. Was he not sleeping here tonight?
Jing Yiren took a bath in the bathroom.
Lu Ming returned to the study. No sooner had he opened his computer than his phone rang.
Anyone who called him this late into the night could only be from the Jing Family—with some urgent request—or the world must be ending. Otherwise, no one dared to disturb him without his permission at this hour.
