Chapter 36 - Meeting Again
Of course, Mu Qing could tell that it was not just that, but he did not ask further.
"If you don"t like them, then don"t meet them anymore. Don"t feel unhappy because of this from now on, alright?"
Xing Jiuan lowered her head in silence and acknowledged his words softly.
Then she said, "Senior Brother, I"m sorry."
"You don"t have to ever apologize to me.
"Jiuan, there"s no need for this between us."
In her heart, Xing Jiuan was apologizing for her cold treatment and her willfulness in her previous life.
Senior Brother was so good to her. How hurt must he have been to break off ties with her?!
Why was she so foolish in her previous life?
She already had the best treatment in the world, yet she still wanted things that did not belong to her.
She made her life a mess.
"I got someone to bring that cat over. It should arrive tomorrow. Jiuan, do you want to take a look?"
"Okay." Xing Jiuan suddenly remembered the cat that Mu Qing had mentioned. She had forgotten about it because she had been thinking about her previous life.
However…
"Senior Brother, I"m worried that I won"t be able to raise it well."
Xing Jiuan loved small animals, but she couldn"t even take care of herself. She was afraid that she wouldn"t be able to take care of that cat.
They raised animals in the mountains, but Xing Jiuan only played with them. Although she knew a little about their care, she had never raised a cat.
"It"s fine. I"ll help you raise it. It"ll be fine."
The red light lit up when they arrived at the intersection. Mu Qing stopped the car and patted Xing Jiuan"s head.
Her short hair was soft and smooth.
When they arrived at the airport, they b.u.mped into a familiar person.
It was Lu Zhichen, whom she had met last night.
Lu Zhichen came to pick someone up early in the morning. It was his uncle, who had been on a vacation for a long time. When he was returning to the capital, he designated Lu Zhichen to pick him up.
It wasn"t easy for Lu Zhichen to get a day off, yet he had to come to the airport early in the morning to pick someone up.
He was sitting in the car when he saw Xing Jiuan and the others coming over.
He had some recollection of what the Old Master said, but the little girl didn"t seem to recognize him anymore. She didn"t seem to remember much about the past.
Lu Zhichen was not someone who liked to wait for opportunities. Not to mention, that opportunity he was waiting for was not even running toward him.
If he didn"t take the initiative, this might end here.
In the past, he had treated Xing Jiuan like a little sister. It was impossible to say that he had fallen in love with her immediately. However, it was inevitable that he would want to get close to this beloved little sister whom he had not seen in a long time.
He was distant and cold to others. He was decisive in business and firm in his methods. He was known to be n.o.ble and cold by everyone. It was rare for him to act differently.
When Mu Qing saw him, his expression did not look good. When he saw Lu Zhichen walking toward them, he became even more unhappy.
Ou Qi and Lu Mingxi did not know much about their childhood, but they had an impression of Lu Zhichen. He was the current head of the Lu family and the famous Ninth Master in the circle. Even if they had not worked together before, they knew a little about him.
But why was this person walking toward them?
Xing Jiuan looked at him doubtfully. "Do I know you?"
"Of course." Lu Zhichen smiled. "It"s been a while, Jiuan. Let me introduce myself again. I"m Lu Zhichen." His voice was low, husky, and attractive.
Xing Jiuan still looked at him in confusion.
"I"m sorry, I don"t have any impression of you at all."
Mu Qing looked at Xing Jiuan appreciatively, as if he was very pleased with her answer.
