This year's winter was exceptionally cold.
Su Nian'an tightened her grip on the coffee cup, her amber eyes as calm as water.
She was clad in a khaki turnover coat, her slightly curled hair hung down, perfectly covering her delicate earlobes.
Her lips were slightly pursed due to the cold, her delicate skin was flawlessly pale without a hint of blush, her eyes occasionally glancing at her wristwatch.
The flight was delayed by three hours.
The man who had promised to pick her up at the airport the night before had not shown up.
"The weather was fine yesterday, how could it suddenly start snowing heavily today. Young Master Lu is really indifferent," Xiao Mei grumbled, her brows furrowing as she spoke.
However, her words fell on Su Nian'an's ears. She laughed lightly, raising her coffee cup for a sip. Perhaps, to her, it didn't matter whether that person showed up or not.
Suddenly, there came a flurry of footsteps outside the glass window, mixed with a man's low grumble about the unpredictable weather.
"Master Lu, the flight was delayed, my apologies." Su Jin'ian, who was wrapped tightly in a coat, shrunk in response, yet her half-closed eyes were filled with a shimmering light.
Mrs Su, who was trailing behind, carrying luggage, had an apologetic smile on her face while her gaze searched for her daughter's figure in the room.
Upon spotting the two frosty figures near the table, Su Jin'ian knitted her brows, exchanging a glance with her wife next to her, the smile on her face suddenly freezing.
"Nian Nian, didn't he come?" Mrs Su was the first one to break the silence, her gentle tone filled with inquiry.
Su Nian'an naturally knew who the "he" in her mother's mouth referred to.
"He had some affairs to deal with," Su Nian'an replied nonchalantly, reaching out to take the luggage from her mother's hand.
"Yes, yes, yes, work is indeed important." Mrs. Su sensing the tense atmosphere, quickly gave Little Mei a sidelong look.
Being disgruntled, Little Mei pushed the luggage out, still looking back at Su Nian An from time to time.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already late.
Stepping out of the hotel where her parents were staying, Su Nian An stood by the jade pillar at the entrance, just in time to see a familiar limousine in the distance, heading this way. Without thinking, she leaned towards the pillar. Her brows tightened slightly, just as expected.
The car smoothly stopped at the entrance, and the first to get down from the backseat was a tall figure. Su Nian An's pupils darkened instantly.
Lu Zichen dressed in a suit, standing by the car, his chiseled jaw tense. His dark gaze revealed nothing of his inner world.
The woman in the car didn't dare to delay, hastily opened the door. Her pretty face with delicate makeup was full of coquettish smiles. The figure wrapped in a tight little dress was outstanding, protruding where it should, and curving attractively where it needs to. Couldn't deny, the woman was really stunning.
As she got off the car, it was unclear if the shoes were too high causing her foot to twist, or if she's putting on an act, Han Sisi's petite body seemed to be blown over by the wind, leaning towards Lu Zichen without any strength to support herself.
Yet, Lu Zichen didn't reject her, instead, he hugged her waist tight. Corner of his mouth curved into a smirk, whispering in her ear, "Next time you play this farce, beware I might feed you to the sharks in the sea."
Meeting a gaze as dark as the starry sky, Han Sisi bit her lip and nodded blankly after hearing his gloomy words.
The next second, Lu Zichen whispered a few words into her ear again, causing Han Sisi to cover her mouth and let out a charming laugh, her face blushing even brighter.
Quietly watching from behind the pillar, Su Nian An saw her husband, laughing and joking while holding another woman. She inhaled deeply, her chest finally calmed down after a while, and unknowingly her hands were tightly clenched into fists.
