Chapter 156 This is A Date
Luke still looks expressionless, but his eyes fall on the couple in distance.
The young man is probably angry with his girlfriend and sees that Luke staring at him. He gives them a fierce stare, "What are you staring at?"
Jenny feels astonished, thinks that how dare this guy...
Luke is still staring at that young man coldly.
The girl pulls the young man, "what's wrong with you? Did they bother you?"
The young man sees Luke's eyes, frowns, and then takes a step back along his girlfriend's pulling, and leaves with murmuring.
The dialogue between the two people goes in Jenny's ears, sounds very strange.
"That girl, just when I wait for you, she is also waiting at the door, until the opening, that man didn't come. Although the man looks not bad, he make his girlfriend wait in the cold wind for more than two hours!" "Really? Is that true? The man looks gentle."
"You can't judge a man by his appearance. Not everyone is as easy-going as I am."
"Come on," says the girl, but she puts her hand in his arm. For a moment she realizes something and pinches him. The voice goes faint. "Hum... Are you just staring at that girl? You have watched her for more than two hours..."
"Ouch, ouch... Don't screw me..."
When the couple walks away, Jenny raises her head and looks at Luke. "Let's go."
It's getting late, the clock tower is about to ring the midnight bell, and the whole city is brightly lit and beautiful.
Walking on kerb, Jenny looks cautiously at the side face of Luke, feeling that he is not happy with the the man's words. So she explains.
"In fact, you don't have to mind what they say. Nobody says that boys must have to wait for girls."
Jenny herself is not such a person. She always doesn't like to keep others waiting. Instead, she is comfortable if wait for others.
"Dating?" Luke twists his face and looks at Jenny, and his tone seems to be somewhat surprised.
"Well, doesn't it count?" Jenny is nervous and touches her cuff. Isn't watching drama together a kind of dating?
Seeing Luke doesn't speak, she feels a little embarrassed and tries to relieve the situation incoherently. "ha ha, that's right, just watching a drama is not a date certainly. I haven't dated with others before, so I have no experience. I just see other boys and girls who are watching movie as dating, so since we watched drama together, I thought it is dating..."
What she says when nervous or embarrassed makes her words more meaningless.
With that, she even wants to give herself a slap in the face.
What a fool.
"On a date, there should be something else to do in the evening." Luke's voice breaks the embarrassing mood in her heart. She raises her head and looks in surprise at his handsome face.
She suddenly feels warm in her palm, she subconsciously lowers her head to look her hand. Luke's big hand quietly takes her hand, leading her toward the front.
She is at a loss after being pulled by Luke.
"Where shall we go?"
"The fireworks."
"Ah? But the time..."
At midnight, the city's most famous fireworks square is already empty. Usually, the fireworks show ends at 10:30. Only the evening of New Year's Eve and New Year's Day is delayed until 12:00. Luke is not concerned about these things, and Jenny has just returned to China and has been very busy, so after they arrive at the Fireworks Square, they are stunned.
Except stray cats and dogs, the whole square is just empty.
Fallen leaves rustling and rustling, a gust of wind blowing, makes people feel extremely cold.
"There must be no fireworks today."
Jenny looks at the sign of Fireworks Square, which clearly states that fireworks display is held from 8:30 to 10:30 every Monday to Friday night, then 11 p.m. on weekends and 12 p.m. on holidays. Today is neither weekend nor a holiday. Looking at the empty square, the fireworks seems finishing already.
Luke's face reveals a trace of embarrassment. "Or, let's go to see the sunrise."
Jenny shrinks her neck. "I have an appointment with the designer of Eshmour tomorrow. If I watch the sunrise with you, I might not be able to do my job tomorrow."
Hearing this, Luke feels a bit disappointed.
Jenny has been living in her own apartment during this period of time, while Luke's mother has been living in Flower House. She feels not comfortable if she moves at this moment, so she finally gives up the idea.
As for the wedding, the Lu's family has been preparing it for quite a while. Luke's mother seems to be in a hurry. She hopes the wedding will be held early so that no one will gossip.
"You should go to granny's to have a meal with her some time these days. Do you have any suggestions about the time of our wedding?"
On the way home, Luke reminds Jenny.
Jenny feels astonished and she hesitates. "I will probably have to join the team soon since I have a play, and I don't know how long it will take to shoot. There is still a play that was shot six months ago, and I will need to attend the promotion and go to several cities. It's probably not good in these two months..."
Seeing that Luke is not happy. She lowers her head and her voice gradually diminishes.
She has her own ideas. The problem of Jin's has not made any progress so far, and it is not clear whether it is related to Lu's. In case of that, problems of her own family will inevitably be involved in their marriage. She does not want the marriage relationship to become so complicated.
She's a public figure, and if their wedding doesn't go well, she does not want others to pay too much attention to their lives, what she wants is just a good ending after a good beginning.
She has left a road for her to return even from the beginning, and by delaying the wedding now, she is setting herself a way out.
Luke looks at her deeply, as if he can see through her, and for a moment he drops a word,
"Up to you."
Jenny gathers her coat collar, stands at the gate of the residential area with her bag and looks at the taillights of Luke's car in a daze, she feels hard.
She seems to have stuck herself in a dead end.
Clearly in the beginning, she just wants to investigate her family's case with Luke's position advantage, but now she just hopes Luke can't help her anything. It's best that the things of the past have nothing to do with his family, and the things that she is investigating also has nothing to do with him.
A blast of cold comes over her, and she sneezes and goes upstairs rubbing her nose.
Outside the community, under the huge camphor tree, there is a car with lights off, and there is a pair of cold eyes behind the window of the car. Luke does not restart the car until she goes upstairs safely and lights up lamps.
There is a unread message on the phone. With a "tick", the white message shows up.
"Luke, although what Jessica said sounds make sense, you can't believe it in total. You can not misunderstand Jenny. You have to look into this matter about Jenny by yourself. If you are not convenient to intervene, I can help you check it out."
Luke looks down at the message on his phone and frowns.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
