“Eh? Don’t! We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and you’re in a hurry to go home!” Liu Yi’s face was filled with disappointment.
“You’ll know when you get married.” Lu An waved his hand and smiled.
Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Lu An strode away.
The two women who had tried to seduce Lu An just now had desolate expressions on their faces. They had thought that they could take this opportunity to get close to Lu An. They did not expect that he would not even look at them the entire time. He did not even like them.
Although they were not top female celebrities, they were still very famous in the industry. This was the first time they had been ignored like this, and they could not accept it.
When Lu An drove back to the villa, Jin Nian was already asleep. She was lying on her side on the bed with the blanket covering her neck, only revealing her small head. She was as cute as a kitten.
Lu An quietly looked at Jin Nian’s sleeping face and felt a warmth in his heart.
The next morning, Jin Nian opened her eyes. Lu An was already dressed and had packed his luggage.
“Little lazy worm, you’re finally awake. Get up and pack up. We are going back to Binhai City in a while.” Lu An pinched her cheek.
Jin Nian opened her sleepy eyes and remembered that she was supposed to go back today, but she seemed to have woken up late.
After a moment of reaction, Jin Nian quickly got up and packed up. Fortunately, Lu An had packed everything. As long as she put on her clothes, she could go out.
The two of them successfully boarded the plane and had a simple meal on the plane. It was already noon when they landed in Binhai City.
The first thing Jin Nian did when she returned to Binhai City was to go to the company. Her three-day holiday had become five days because she went to Hong Kong. She still had a lot of things to deal with.
Jin Nian was so busy that her feet didn’t touch the ground for the entire afternoon. She had forcefully entered a high-intensity working state from the relaxed state of traveling, and she quickly adapted to it.
When it was time to get off work, Lu An’s phone rang at the right time. “Baby, are you off work? I’ll go pick you up.”
Jin Nian: “1 still have some work to do. It’s too crowded at night. Don’t come over yet.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for your news.”
Not long after he hung up, Jin Nian’s phone rang again. The caller was one of Jin Nian’s university classmates, Yang Mei. They had a good relationship when they were in school and she had attended Jin Nian’s wedding before, so she knew about Jin Nian’s marriage.
In the social circle around Jin Nian, she was a legendary figure. She successfully married into a wealthy family, founded her own company, gave birth to a cute baby, and had a husband who loved her dearly. It could be said that Jin Nian’s life was the envy of countless women.
At that time, Yang Mei attended the wedding. The luxurious wedding venue and the group of tall, rich, and handsome best men amazed everyone. Everyone thought that Jin Nian was lucky. However, the emcee later said that the two of them grew up together and liked each other since they were young. It took so many years for them to get together.
“Niannian, do you have time now? Can we meet?”
Although Jin Nian and Yang Mei were in contact, they just chatted. It was the first time that she suddenly called to meet. Jin Nian felt that she must have encountered some trouble, so she nodded and agreed.
Jin Nian quickly called Lu An back and said that she would be back later. She wanted to have a meal with her classmate first.
After finishing her work, Jin Nian hailed a taxi and arrived at the restaurant they had agreed on. A woman in a plain dress was already waiting at the table.
“Meimei.” Jin Nian greeted her with a smile.
When Yang Mei saw Jin Nian, she also smiled. However, her smile was mixed with some other emotions.
Speaking of which, the two of them rarely saw each other after graduation. Although they were both in the same city, they were both busy with work. Jin Nian was also very happy to see her good friend occasionally.
“Niannian, you got off work so late!” Yang Mei handed the menu to Jin Nian.
Jin Nian ordered a set meal and smiled. “The company has just started and there are many things to deal with. You got off work early today!”
Yang Mei nodded. “Yeah, my work hasn’t been going well recently. My salary has dropped. I really envy you. You started a company at such a young age, unlike ordinary people like us who can only work for others to earn some living expenses.”
Although Yang Mei’s expression was normal, the words she said made Jin Nian feel a little awkward.
“Starting a company isn’t as simple as you think. You have to take a lot of risks and put in more effort.”
Yang Mei sighed. “The salary is low now, and the housing policy has suddenly changed. My hubby and I want to buy a house, but we are still lacking the down payment.”
Jin Nian looked up at Yang Mei. She probably understood why Yang Mei had said so much. “Meimei, just tell me what you want..”
