After the downpour, the streets were slightly flooded. Lu Jinnian sped through, splattering water every time his car sunk into the puddles. Several droplets had fallen onto Qiao Anhao's arms when he had driven off.
Once Lu Jinnian left, Mian Xiu Garden's street was empty, with only Qiao Anhao in sight.
The street lamps from both sides of the street shone dimly, their rays hitting Qiao Anhao's thin figure, making her seem all the more lonely.
She stood at the same spot for a long time until she stopped crying. She opened her bag to take out a packet of tissues to dry her face. Turning, she walked into the mansion.
When Qiao Anhao opened the doors with her keys, stopping at the entrance to change her shoes, Madam Chen came out of her room, not at all surprised to see Qiao Anhao who hadn't made prior notice of her arrival.
"Mrs. Lu, I've prepared dinner, do you want to have some?"
