...
After leaving the old house, it wasn't long before Han Jingnian received a phone call.
Xia Wan'an did not know who the call was from, but from Han Jingnian's tone, she realized there had been some urgent issue between his company and a client, and they were asking if he could come and deal with it.
The matter seemed quite thorny. Han Jingnian replied, "Got it," then put down his phone and looked at Xia Wan'an, "I'll drop you off at home first. I've got something else to take care of and need to head over there."
Xia Wan'an knew it was work-related, so she did not ask further but simply nodded her head a few times in understanding.
The old house was not far from Han Jingnian's apartment. In no time at all, they arrived at the underground parking garage.
Han Jingnian did not go upstairs. Once Xia Wan'an got out of the car, he pressed the gas pedal and left.
When she got home, she heard a "meow" and the plump little Mirror charged into her arms.
