Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 334

Jiahe’s eyes widened, and her jaw dropped in disbelief as she repeated, “A-Are you saying… y-you’re outside of my home in Qinghe?”

“You have one minute to come down.”

Jiahe was at a loss for words.

Her parents’ voices echoed from the kitchen. “The dumplings are ready, honey. Come and take the dumplings out to the dining room. What type of sauce do you fancy?”

Jiahe answered in hushed tones, “B-But I’m having dumplings now.”

“Maybe you want me to go upstairs to get you?”

Although Xinghe responded in a flat tone, Jiahe could pick up the threat behind his words.

The call ended before she could say anything else.

With the disconnected tune playing in the background, Jiahe was caught between helplessness and horror.

Why did Hades Jiang come all the way to Qinghe during the New Year? Was he visiting family again?

Jiahe was afraid he might just knock on the door. It was awkward enough that her parents mistook him for Chi Jun the last time. She did not want to lie to her parents again.

By the time her parents brought out the dumplings from the kitchen, Jiahe was no longer in the living room.

“Huh? Where did Jiahe go?”

“Yeah, she was here a minute ago. Honey? Honey?”

…

Jiahe put on a long, black down jacket before running down the stairs at record speed.

As expected, Xinghe’s black Audi was parked outside.

The man wore a black windbreaker, standing amid the chilling night. A cigarette rested between his slender fingers as he smoked away with grace.

Jiahe’s breath was taken away.

It was not as if she had never met a man with looks before. Back when she was a student in North City Medical College, she enjoyed a lot of eye candy in her class, on campus, and from the basketball team. However, they did not have Xinghe’s charms. There was something different that Jiahe simply could not put her finger on.

Perhaps… it was what Shirley would call a charm of a mature man.

Sticking to a distance from him, Jiahe scratched her head and awkwardly inquired, “W-What brings you to Qinghe?”
