Unlike Xia Yu’an, who was hopping up and down, Huo Jinyan was still sitting on the sofa, his fingers gently twirling around the bracelet.

‘Ifyou don’t fight for them, then others will really think that you don’t care for them.’

Ningning, what about you? Do you…

Lu Ning fell asleep after drinking too much.

As she slept, she had a dream.

It was not a good dream.

She awoke with a start.

When she woke up, she was shouting Huo Jinyan’s name.

She stared into her room in a daze, unable to come to her senses.

The blazing fires in her dream left her with a lingering fear.

A splitting headache pulled her back to reality.

Lu Ning frowned tightly. She felt as if her head was about to explode; it was so painful that she could hardly breathe.

She slowly crawled up, unable to recall a single thing about last night.

What happened last night…

Right, I had been drinking…

What happened next?

She really could not remember. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.

She sat on the bedside and rested for a while, but it was still useless.

She looked up sluggishly to check the time.

Shocked, she immediately bolted to her feet.

I’m going to be late!

The splitting headache struck her again, and she immediately brought her hand to her forehead.

This feels terrible. I’m never drinking again!

“Ningning, are you awake?”

Shen Yunci knocked on her door.

Lu Ning answered gloomily, “Yes.”

Shen Yunci pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her like this, she sighed and walked over.

“Drink this. It’ll make you feel better.”

Lu Ning drank it as she was told.

It seemed to have eased her headache a little, but her head still throbbed.

“Ningning, how about you don’t go to school today? Mommy will apply for leave for you.”

Lu Ning shook her head. “It’s fine, Mommy. I’m fine. I still have something on at school today.”

Shen Yunci’s heart ached for her when she saw how uncomfortable she seemed to be feeling. She smoothed her hair. “Then have Brother send you there. Mommy will get you something to eat, you can go after having some.”

Lu Ning nodded. In her current state, there was no way she could head out immediately.

After Shen Yunci left, Lu Ning went to wash up.

After relaxing a little, she seemed to have recovered somewhat.

However, after washing her face and closing her eyes in a daze, an image suddenly flashed in front of her.

She was hugging Huo Jinyan and crying.

It startled her so much that her eyes flew open, and she stared at herself in the mirror.

Was that a dream, or reality?

“Ningning, are you done? Mommy’s coming in.”

Shen Yunci opened the door and came in. Lu Ning walked out of the bathroom.

Seeing that she was feeling better, Shen Yunci handed her a bean paste bun.

Lu Ning took a bite of it.

“Your brother’s waiting for you downstairs.”

Lu Ning nodded. “Okay, thank you, Mommy. I’m not eating the rest of it. I’m heading off.”

After changing, Lu Ning picked up her bag and was about to leave.

Shen Yunci hurriedly pulled her back and reminded her, “If you feel unwell, take leave and come home, and have your brother pick you up. Don’t force yourself, alright?”

“Okav. I got it. Goodbvee Mommv.”

“Bye, Be careful on the road.”

Lu Ning went downstairs and quickly walked out of the alley.

Lu Qing was waiting at the entrance of the alley, standing outside his car. When he saw Lu Ning, he opened the backseat door for her.

Lu Ning got in; Lu Qing quickly got into the driver’s seat and started the car.

The car drove forward and passed by a black Rolls-Royce at the corner. Lu

Qing was unconcerned, but Lu Ning saw the car clearly through the window.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold and her expression changed. She turned around and looked through the glass behind her as the car sped away. She instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

“What are you looking at?”

Noticing that something was wrong with her, Lu Qing asked..
