Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 299

The journey back to Crystal River Town was neither too long nor too short.

They came out of the hospital and got stuck in a traffic jam in the city center.

By the time they reached the elevated highway, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Lu Jiahe was bored sitting in the passenger's seat so she browsed on Weibo and WeChat Moments on her phone.

Jiang Xinghe was always quiet but Lu Jiahe had always been a chatterbox. While holding her phone, she asked Jiang Xinghe casually, “Master, where do your relatives in Crystal River Town live? Maybe it's someone I knew.”

Crystal River Town was not very big so Lu Jiahe knew almost everyone in that town. Even if she didn't know their name, she would know the face somehow.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinghe replied coldly, “Does it have anything to do with you?”

Lu Jiahe was speechless.

Tch, petty piece of shit! I can't even ask a question.

Lu Jiahe's phone rang. It was her mother.

After answering the phone, Mrs. Lu asked on the phone, “Honey, where are you?”

“I just got on the elevated highway. I guess I'll reach in half an hour.”

“If that's the case, I will start cooking then.”

Lu Jiahe answered, “Yeah, go ahead. By the way, Mom, I want to eat braised prawn.”

Lu Ma laughed as she said, “I know that you love prawns so I went to the market and bought some early this morning. Is Chi with you? This is his first visit to our house for dinner, so I don't know what he likes. Can you please find out from him.”

“Huh? F-Forget it.”

Mrs. Lu said, “What do you mean? Just ask him. It's not like I'm asking you to cook.”

Lu Jiahe bit her lip, hesitated for a while and said, “Um, Mom, Chi Jun didn't come back with me.”

“Huh? What? Didn't you agree to bring Chi over for dinner this weekend? Why didn't he come suddenly?”

“He—”
