Chapter 500

Lu Jinnian got off the phone and then ignored his assistant's cries of "Mr . Lu" . He raised his hand to hail a taxi, got in, and left his assistant with the words, "Check out of the hotel and pack up everything in the room" . Then he said to the taxi driver, "To the airport . "

The assistant stood outside the car with an anxious expression . He called out "Mr . L . . . ", but in the end, he hadn't finished speaking when the tail lights of the taxi flashed . The car started up and drove into the traffic .

The assistant stamped his feet and helplessly clutched his hair as he glanced back at the hotel behind him . Then, he pulled out his phone and called director Wang, who Lu Jinnian had originally come all the way to Hong Kong to meet but randomly canceled on .

On the way to the airport, Lu Jinnian pulled out his phone and called Qiao Anhao several times, but in the end, no one answered . He then left her a slew of WeChat messages, but didn’t receive a reply either .

Perhaps he was really affected by what he'd just heard, but his intuition told him that Qiao Anhao already knew about Xu Jiamu's business .

For her to not pick up her phone, or reply to messages, was she hiding in a corner somewhere, crying?

At that thought, Lu Jinnian started to become restless in his seat . He wished for nothing more than to be like one of those characters from xuanhuan novels and instantly teleport to Qiao Anhao's side .

When he reached the airport, he paid the taxi driver as he got out and checked into his flight . He passed security and boarded the plane . . . Lu Jinnian made no stops during this process, smoothly getting everything done .

The plane took off and the announcements reached his table . As he stared at the night lights of Hong Kong out of the window, his erratic anger simmered down .

He distinctly ran off on a business to Hong Kong just to avoid her for her own good . Who would of thought that he'd hear bad news about her so far away!

He never thought about being a hero, but he always wanted to protect Qiao Anhao from harm .

He knew that perhaps, right at this moment, Qiao Anhao possibly had no idea that Xu Jiamu loved someone else . That was just his guess and what he worried about, but no matter if she knew or not, he still had to go back .

Because he didn't want that woman to be alone at her saddest, most desperate time .

So he needed to hurry over to her as fast as possible, to be with her whilst she was sad, and to cheer her up .

Two hours later, the plane landed steadily at Beijing International Airport .

It was already late at night in Beijing and raining heavily when Lu Jinnian got off the plane . He bolted straight for taxis . The queue was a little long, so whilst lined up, Lu Jinnian called Qiao Anhao until his phone ran out of battery . Yet still, she never picked up .

While burning with anxiety, Lu Jinnian eventually left the queue, braved the heavy rain, and ran straight out of the airport .

Not long after, his clothes were completely soaked . There were around five kilometers from the airport terminal to outside the airport . He ran until the rainwater all over his body had mixed with the sweat on his back .

With great difficulty, he finally saw a black taxi, and without any hesitation, he waved his hand, got in, and gave the driver the address to Mian Xiu Garden .

When the car reached his home, Lu Jinnian paid the driver, and rushed over to Xu Jiamu's mansion . His breath was unstable when he raised his hand and pressed the doorbell a few times .

Qiao Anxia kept crying, unable to stop for a very long time, before she completely calmed down . With the Royal Palace's staff's help, Qiao Anhao was able to drag her into the car and take her home .
