The cool breeze snuck through the gap, blowing on her face, alleviating both the heat and her guilty conscience to some extent.
The dinner tonight was truly unsatisfactory.
She had had unpleasant exchanges with the Jiang sisters. If Jiang Qimeng and Jiang Shanshan were close, it wouldn’t be long before Shanshan would come to know about her demand for compensation from Jiang Qimeng that afternoon.
Jiang Qimeng would soon learn from Shanshan’s mouth that her stepmother was her godmother.
Moreover, her relationship with her godmother was very good. If those sisters wanted to cause her trouble, and if they were a bit malicious, they might find ways to mistreat her godmother and make her miserable as a result.
Tang Su couldn’t help but overthink.
No matter what, when she got home later, she would have to tell her mother and godmother everything exactly as it happened. If the Jiang sisters were sensible, that would be best.
If they weren’t sensible and intended to make trouble for her godmother, then it was her duty to give her godmother a heads-up in advance.
It was better to prepare her godmother psychologically first, rather than let her be caught off guard and targeted by the Jiang family without understanding why.
Once Tang Su had figured out how to handle things afterward, she came back to her senses and, during a surreptitious glance at Lu Han, noticed his phone placed on the center console lit up for a moment before the screen went dark.
“Doctor Lu, your phone…” she said.
“It’s out of battery, don’t worry about it,” Lu Han replied.
“Oh.”
While Tang Su had been lost in thought, the phone had been lighting up continuously, she just hadn’t noticed.
That evening, when going to the Tang family for dinner, Lu Han had deliberately left his phone in the car, turned on silent mode, because he didn’t want anyone to disturb him and Tang Su during their first dinner at her place after their reunion.
At that time, he had no idea that this dinner would be a ‘Hongmen Banquet’.
Shortly after getting in the car, he discovered the phone was nearly out of battery, the battery icon had turned red. When Jiang Shanshan was in the car, he even pocketed his phone.
After Jiang Shanshan got out, he put the phone back in its place on the center console. The battery was surprisingly resilient, allowing that guy, Bai Dingxian, to keep calling until now when it finally gave up.
Soon, Lu Han’s car entered the underground parking lot of Tingzhu Building, and Tang Su, carrying the box of sugar hearts she hadn’t managed to give away, got out of the car.
The two of them rode the elevator upstairs together, and no one called the elevator on the way, so it smoothly reached the sixth floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, Tang Su heard a cat mewing at her doorway. She looked at Lu Han, “Doctor Lu, your cat is still at my place. Are you going to take it home tonight?”
“Let it stay with you for a few days. I’m going to be out for a few days starting tomorrow. I’ll come to pick it up when I get back,” he said.
“Ah?” Tang Su stood there dazed. Lu Han was leaving?
Why hadn’t he mentioned this earlier?
If she had known he was leaving tomorrow, she wouldn’t have bothered playing the lady earlier, but would certainly have become a chatterbox, talking with him nonstop.
Now that she knew Lu Han was leaving tomorrow, Tang Su regretted her earlier reserve deeply, so much so that her insides turned green with regret.
“I’m going back to Beijing to see my parents. I’m taking three days off starting tomorrow. You don’t think I popped out of a rock like the Monkey King, do you?” he joked.
Tang Su hurriedly shook her head in denial, “I didn’t think that.”
She didn’t feel that way at all. She wasn’t a three-year-old child; how could she be so naive?
“They’re in Beijing, do they like Peking duck? When I come back, should I bring a couple for you?” he offered.
“Well, that would be kind of you, Doctor Lu. This box of sugar hearts, since you like them, here, you can have them to eat on the road.” Tang Su handed over the box of sugar hearts.
“… Okay, thank you,” Lu Han accepted them.
He did want sugar hearts, but not the kind from her hand.
