CHAPTER 574: 511, YOU WOMAN, REALLY DISAPPOINTED ME SO MUCH!

Lu Xiaoer sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling bay window.

She had never been as quiet as she was today.

Quietly watching the night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

The Kasi Hotel was located in the city center of Anlin City, the top floor of one of Anlin’s landmark skyscrapers.

Having worked in the hospital all day, she had almost forgotten how long it had been since she had truly relaxed.

Even when with Zhongli Wuzhi, she might not have really put her heart into him.

He... should be coming, right?

Lu Xiaoer glanced at the time, and it was only seven o’clock.

Time passed... so slowly.

She took deep breaths over and over again.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Coming so early?"

She hoped he would come earlier, but being an hour early, Lu Xiaoer was still quite surprised.

However...

Lu Xiaoer pursed her lips, thinking she had given Zhongli Wuzhi a key card. He could have just come in directly...

She pouted, thinking that since he had arrived, there was no need to be so reserved.

Could it be... he wanted to put on his Young Master Zhongli airs and have her politely invite him inside?

Her thoughts were scattered as Lu Xiaoer walked to the door, and upon opening it, she saw that it wasn’t Zhongli Wuzhi standing outside, but a courier,

"Is this Miss Lu Xiaoer?"

"...I am."

Lu Xiaoer blinked.

"This is from a gentleman for you."

Lu Xiaoer looked at the bunch of Blue Roses, stunned for a moment, "A gentleman? What gentleman? What’s his name?"

"Miss, I’m just responsible for delivering the flowers. If you are Miss Lu Xiaoer, please sign for them."

The courier said with a smile.

Lu Xiaoer also smiled, took the pen, and signed for the flowers.

She took the flowers, closed the door, and hummed to herself softly, this Zhongli Wuzhi...

She smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and it was very rich.

She thought for a moment, then took apart the bouquet, cut a few roses, and put them in a glass vase on the dining table.

Lu Xiaoer looked at the few Blue Roses, pursing her lips lightly...

The closer it got to the agreed time, the more composed Lu Xiaoer became.

Especially with this bunch of Blue Roses, it anchored her previously anxious heart quite a bit.

She hadn’t thought it over much. It had always been Zhongli Wuzhi following her, pursuing her relentlessly, risking his life for her, doing so much for her...

The previous unpleasantness was actually just him waiting for a step down.

Now, she had given him that step down, how could he possibly not take it?

Besides, she had done everything she could do.

She had let go of her self-esteem, her pride, the right and wrong in her heart, and just acted on her feelings.

Zhongli Wuzhi...

You dare not to come and see!

The short hour seemed purposefully prolonged by Father Time.

Lu Xiaoer would glance at the time now and then, barely making it through half an hour.

She rubbed her head, her mind had relaxed quite a bit, but her head was still throbbing... not knowing what was wrong.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

The doorbell rang again.

Lu Xiaoer was startled for a moment, seven thirty.

It shouldn’t be Zhongli Wuzhi, right?

However... it must be Zhongli Wuzhi up to some trick again.

She went to open the door.

Upon opening the door, she was very surprised to see the person standing outside,

"Song... Jing?"

Her somewhat dizzy head suddenly cleared up.

She blinked.

"Why are you here?"

Song Jing adjusted her delicate gold-rimmed glasses,

"I saw you come in while having dinner downstairs with a friend. Now that we’ve finished eating, I thought I’d come up and say hello."

"Oh, what a coincidence..."

Lu Xiaoer propped herself against the door, feeling extremely dizzy.

She felt very uncomfortable as her body slowly started to feel strange...

"You’re dining here too."

She murmured.

Song Jing, dressed in a crisp suit, asked Lu Xiaoer, "Are you alone?"

Lu Xiaoer looked at Song Jing. "Well... it’s just me for now, another friend will be arriving shortly."

"A friend? A... boyfriend?"

Song Jing asked again.

Lu Xiaoer blinked, feeling her eyes getting warm,

"Um... I’m sorry, Song Jing, but I might not have the time to talk right now, can we meet at work tomorrow?"

"It seems... it really is a boyfriend. Sorry for my presumption in coming to see you, it seems I’ve bothered you."

"Don’t say that, you haven’t disturbed me."

"Lu Xiaoer..."

"Yes?"

"I actually have something private to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Lu Xiaoer felt her body shaking and burning up, possibly with a fever.

This was what she thought, yet thankfully her mind was still clear.

Song Jing looked around and then asked earnestly,

"May I come in to talk? Your friend isn’t here yet, right? Just two minutes. Is that okay?"

With sincere tone from Song Jing, Lu Xiaoer didn’t think much of it,

"Okay, come on in then."

Lu Xiaoer stepped back, unconsciously leaning against the wall.

She no longer had the strength to stand.

Song Jing stepped in and immediately closed the door.

"Song Jing, whatever you have to say, just say it. Do you need my help with something?"

Lu Xiaoer still managed to ask him energetically.

However, Song Jing didn’t reply, instead, he walked straight into the room, surveying the carefully decorated space, from the tulips at the entrance to the red rose petals on the carpet, and the western-style dining table in front of the balcony window.

The delicately crafted candlesticks, the tall red wine glasses, and so forth...

"Song Jing?"

Lu Xiaoer frowned and called out to him, but Song Jing didn’t respond; his eyes stayed cold as he continued to walk further in.

Beneath the lenses, his sharp eyes scanned everything in the hotel room.

He was about to step into the bedroom, and Lu Xiaoer became completely alert, hastily grabbing Song Jing,

"Director Song, what are you doing?"

Lu Xiaoer’s frown deepened, furious at Song Jing’s impolite behavior.

Song Jing stopped right at the bedroom door, clearly seeing the large bed strewn with petals.

The half-open wardrobe contained two sets of pajamas, one male and one distinctly alluring female set.

Song Jing’s voice was cold,

"Dr. Lu, wouldn’t happen to be expecting Mr. Zhongli Wuzhi this evening, would you?"

This question made Lu Xiaoer acutely aware of the danger.

She pursed her lips, involuntarily swallowing, "That... has nothing to do with you, Song Jing."

Lu Xiaoer leaned against the wall,

"Song Jing, you said you saw me going upstairs, but... how did you know which hotel room was mine?"

She steadied her thoughts and quickly asked.

Song Jing stared at Lu Xiaoer,

"You... you really disappoint me."

"..."
