Chapter 1665  : A New Beginning (5)

Scenes of the recent years flashed through Lu Nanze’s mind. He narrowed his eyes and lowered his head.

He gave a bitter laugh, looked at the doctor and asked, “And how is her health now?”

“She’s out of danger and will be fine. She’ll be a little weak after the blood transfusion, but she can rest and recover for the next month.”

Lu Nanze nodded.

He was silent for a moment before he said, “Could you not tell her about the transfusion?”

The doctor paused.

Without saying another word, Lu Nanze turned around and walked out of the hospital.

He felt truly unnecessary there.

He didn’t even have the courage to take a look at the newborn now.

He only hoped to leave quickly and not be affected by the happiness of this new family of three.

Since Lu Nanze had given away some of his blood, he looked a little pale.

When the driver found him, he was already in a rather drowsy state.

As he got into the car, the driver asked, “Mr. Lu, to the hotel?”

“No, home,” Lu Nanze said after a long pause.

The driver was taken aback and asked again, as if he hadn’t quite understood the instructions, “Mr. Lu?”

“I said we’ll go home! Didn’t you hear me?”

The driver got scared and didn’t dare speak another word. He did not even dare breathe as he started the car. Soon, they were on the highway to Suzhou.

Lu Nanze leaned back into the seat. Resting his head on one hand, he stared out of the window.

This was Beijing. Where she had lived in hiding for a few years.

This place did not belong to him.

He was silent as he endured the unease, waiting for it to go away.

After about two hours, Lu Nanze looked up. At this point, he noticed that the driver had been throwing glances at him every now and then through the rear view mirror. Obviously, the man had something to say, but did not dare to do so given Lu Nanze’s serious mood.

Lu Nanze frowned and said, “If there’s something you want to say, then say it quickly!”

The driver spoke up cautiously, “Mr. Lu, you- you’ve left Madam Lu behind at the restaurant.”

Lu Nanze: …

Lu Nanze immediately recalled that, because of the situation earlier, he had followed the ambulance to the hospital in his anxiety and had then called the driver to pick him up afterwards. But now he had gone home by himself and had left Qiao Yiyi behind at the wedding venue.

He massaged his forehead with impatience. Oddly, he could not remember what Qiao Yiyi looked like.

He could only remember being very worried that she would harm Qiao Lian, so he had swept her aside?

Given the sort of weak and soft personality that she had, she had to be crying and waiting for him to return to the wedding venue to pick her up.

At this thought, he picked up his cell phone gloomily and opened up his address book.

After searching it from end to end, he did not manage to locate Qiao Yiyi’s contact number.

Then he remembered that, ever since they got married, he and Qiao Yiyi had not spoken more than a few sentences. They didn’t even have a way to contact each other, not to mention a phone number.

Lu Nanze drew in a deep breath, called his assistant and said, “Give Qiao Yiyi a call and ask her to come home on her own.”

“Roger,” said the assistant.

–

When Qiao Yiyi got the call, she was whistling a tune and coasting along in a sports car.

Her exuberant and triumphant expression was far from the timid and plain front that she always put up in front of Lu Nanze.

Her cell phone rang for a long time before she heard it. She turned around and connected the call. She heard the assistant’s voice saying, “Madam Lu, where are you now?”
