"Great minds think alike!"
"Alright, alright, so what gift do you plan on buying?"
Lu Jing didn’t know what to buy either, seeing that these things were too ordinary, suitable only for casual friends.
"What, you have any ideas?"
It had to be said, the two really did have an understanding.
The person on the phone suddenly became a lot more serious:
"Is it urgent?" Fresh chapters posted on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Lu Jing hadn’t thought much about Jiang Ye’s statement and answered reflexively.
Thus, he couldn’t possibly have known that the person on the other end of the line was already boarding a plane.
"It’s that urgent? Then go to a place."
Jiang Ye hadn’t specified exactly where, mostly because the plane was about to take off, and he had to turn off his phone.
"I’ll send you the address, gotta hang up now."
He really hadn’t caught on.
And then, a WeChat message arrived:
XX Road, XX number, along with the shop name—Galaxy.
Right, just those two characters.
So, for a moment, he really couldn’t figure out what kind of place it was.
But Lu Jing still trusted Jiang Ye; he wasn’t that unreliable.
He checked the address and entered it into the GPS.
Soon, the route showed up.
The distance wasn’t very far, just a fifteen-minute drive by car.
Along the way, Lu Jing occasionally glanced at his phone.
Unfortunately, it remained blank the whole time.
Until he parked, it didn’t light up even once.
Never mind, he must be busy.
He closed the car door and looked around, finding himself on an antique street lined with antique shops.
There were quite a few people, especially around the street vendors.
"Young lady, a Qing Dynasty porcelain vase, interested?"
As if ghosts would believe that.
If this was really from the Qing Dynasty, would you still be selling it at a street stall?
He firmly declined and walked away.
The stall owner kept calling from behind:
"A thousand bucks, lady, it’s a steal."
It’s not even worth a hundred bucks.
He walked further and soon saw the ’Galaxy’ sign from afar.
The shop seemed unassuming and low-key.
But upon entering, a sense of comfort hit him.
Even without much knowledge, he could tell that this shop indeed had some good stuff!
There was only a middle-aged man inside, lying on a rocking chair playing with his phone.
He seemed to notice the noise at the door and glanced over:
"Feel free to look around."
Lu Jing pursed his lips before finally speaking softly:
"Hello, sir, I am Jiang Ye’s... girlfriend; he sent me here."
The middle-aged man on the rocking chair nearly fell off in shock, staring at Lu Jing incredulously:
"Y-you said you’re whose girlfriend?" he stuttered.
The middle-aged man immediately straightened up a lot, standing and scrutinizing her carefully:
Hearing this tone, it seemed like Jiang Ye hadn’t even notified the ’Galaxy’ owner before sending Lu Jing directly here?
Upon realizing this, Lu Jing was at a loss whether she should just turn around and leave?
The middle-aged man seemed to notice and quickly called out:
"Ah Ye’s girlfriend, come come in."
Lu Jing then braced herself to enter, feeling extremely awkward and a bit nervous.
After all, she wasn’t clear about what kind of relation this person had with Jiang Ye.
