Chapter 16: Going Home

Actually, Lu Zhichen did not have anything special to do. He just wanted to give himself a day off.

Then, he would attend a race.

Many outstanding racers had gathered for this competition, but not many had been invited to attend it.

He heard that someone had controlled the quota.

However, if Lu Zhichen wanted an invitation, it was naturally possible for him to get one.

He had asked for this invitation a few days ago and fully intended to take a look.

Nothing would change that decision.

He could also set his work aside a little.

His life wasn’t just about work.

He touched his left wrist and a gentle look flashed across his eyes.

It had been a long time since they’d last met. He wondered if the little girl still remembered him.

She probably didn’t remember. After all, she was still so young back then. It had been so many years and they had not met since then.

A child’s memory wouldn’t last long.

It was also because Lu Zhichen had heard that the young lady he had been thinking about for a long time was joining this competition that he had chosen to set everything aside and go.

His personal assistant had never seen such a gentle expression on this icy President’s face. It was as if there was something he treasured very much.

…

Xing Jiuan took a plane back to the place where she grew up.

After leaving the airport, she found her own car nearby and drove to the foot of the mountain. By this time, the sky was already dark.

She turned on her phone and received a call from Mu Qing.

“Senior Brother…”

“Jiuan, where are you?” Mu Qing sounded a little flustered. He did not understand why his little junior sister had disappeared after he had only gone out for a while.

He thought he’d lost the little girl. He was so panic-stricken that he didn’t look like himself anymore.

Xing Jiuan glanced at her phone. Mu Qing and the rest had sent her many messages and made countless phone calls. She suddenly felt extremely guilty.

Toward the end of her previous life, no one cared about her anymore. Therefore, she hadn’t needed to tell anyone where she went. She was already used to being alone and had forgotten that the current her was loved and pampered by others.

Hearing Mu Qing’s anxious and worried voice, she apologized softly and obediently. “Senior Brother, I’m sorry. I just wanted to come back to see Master. I’ll go back tomorrow.”

“I didn’t mean to make you worry.”

“I just forgot…”

She had forgotten that her senior brother would be worried.

Only then did Mu Qing feel slightly relieved. He did not have the heart to scold her, so he only asked, “Have you arrived? Did everything go well on the way? Did you eat anything?”

With a string of words thrown at them, no one would know which question to answer.

Xing Jiuan, on the other hand, answered every question seriously and obediently. “I’ve already reached the foot of the mountain. The journey had been very smooth. I’ll eat once I’m home.”

Mu Qing finally calmed down. “Then hurry and head up. It’s getting dark now. It’s cold at night on the mountain. Remember to wear more clothes.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Xing Jiuan walked up slowly.

She was not feeling anxious.

She had seen every blade of grass and every tree on this mountain when she was young. It was clearly the place she grew up in, but now, it looked especially unfamiliar.

It was a little dark on the mountain now, and it was much colder than before. Xing Jiuan was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a thin jacket, so she was still a little cold.

Someone seemed to have walked over. They held a torchlight and shone it in her direction, asking, “Who is it?”

It was her eldest senior brother.

Eldest Senior Brother was in his thirties or forties, and he could almost be Xing Jiuan’s father.

In fact, if Master and everyone else had not stopped him, he would have wanted to adopt Xing Jiuan as his child.
