He came out of the building, and the driver Han Xijin had given him was waiting.
Because he came back without bringing anything, it was very inconvenient.
Han Xijin would always specially prepare a driver and a car for him to use when he was in the country.
As he sat in the car, Wang Juhuai was still happy; the smile on his face was not going away at all.
His two hands were trembling a bit. He felt an excitement he could not control.
He could finally be with Xia Qingwei again.
Xia Qingwei was someone he could never let go of his whole life.
***
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, which was the next day, Lu Man did not feel at ease leaving Xia Qingwei alone, so she returned home with Han Zhuoli.
Yesterday night, she did not dare to call Xia Qingwei, scared that she was troubled and that seeking her out would disturb her.
So she came very early.
She did not expect that when Xia Qingwei opened the door, her mood would appear to be quite good.
At least, she was much more relaxed than she was yesterday.
How she looked like yesterday scared Lu Man a bit.
Seeing that Xia Qingwei was well again, Lu Man let out a breath of relief and did not mention what happened the previous day. She pretended that those strange things had never happened in order to prevent Xia Qingwei from feeling uncomfortable if they were mentioned.
“Why did you two come today?” Xia Qingwei asked as she smiled.
“No real reason. I came over to take a look. I can’t come tomorrow, so I came today,” Lu Man explained as she entered and changed her shoes. “It’ll be the second round of publicity for Classic X Files tomorrow.”
Xia Qingwei made to go into the kitchen to help them make tea and prepare snacks.
“Mom, let me do it,” Lu Man said, followed her into the kitchen.
Lu Man boiled the water and Xia Qingwei prepared the snacks and fruits.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Xia Qingwei was nervous. It couldn’t be that Wang Juhuai really came, right?
“I’ll go open the door,” Lu Man said and walked out.
Xia Qingwei was not in time to stop her.
Lu Man opened the door and was shocked.
“Mr. Wang?” Lu Man was stunned. She felt that Wang Juhuai and Xia Qingwei had a story between them. She just did not think that Wang Juhuai would come so fast.
Lu Man did not know that Wang Juhuai had come even earlier. Yesterday, as soon as they left, he came, and he stayed all the way into the night!
“I’m sorry, I did not know that you were coming today. Am I disturbing you?” Wang Juhuai looked apologetic.
“No.” Lu Man instantly made way. “Please come in.”
Wang Juhuai entered, and Lu Man prepared slippers for him. Just as he was changing into them, Xia Qingwei came out.
She did not think that he would really come, and certainly not so early.
“Xiao Xia,” Wang Juhuai called, not hiding the familiarity he had with Xia Qingwei.
Xia Qingwei coughed dryly. In front of Lu Man, she felt a little uneasy.
Lu Man looked at Wang Juhuai, then looked at Xia Qingwei, then smiled and asked, “Mr. Wang came yesterday?”
Xia Qingwei: “…”
Her daughter was too smart. It was really headache-inducing.
Lu Man smiled and looked at Wang Juhuai. After all, in the family house yesterday, the atmosphere between the two of them was not as relaxed.
It was as if whatever had troubled them before, they had already solved it.
Wang Juhuai confidently said, “Yes, I came yesterday. There were some misunderstandings before this, and I explained it clearly to Xiao Xia yesterday.”
The delayed truth was a bit cruel, and it was not easy to accept it.
But the good thing was that there was no longer any wall between the two of them.
Lu Man understood and politely said, “Quickly enter, Mr. Wang.”
Wang Juhuai smiled and looked at Xia Qingwei, then entered the living room and was unsurprised to see Han Zhuoli there as well.
Han Zhuoli found it interesting and smiled. “Uncle.”
Wang Juhuai also found it quite interesting, and he sat down.
Lu Man saw that the two of them were chatting about something. It came to her that someone whom Han Xijin and Han Zhuoli interacted with was probably not bad.
