Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 305

Chapter 305

Just as he reached the gates, he saw Lu Jinnian flipping through the rubbish bin by the gates, looking for something . . .

Even though the rubbish in Mian Xiu Garden was cleared daily, there was still a stench from the bin .  

The assistant froze momentarily before rushing forward with his hands covering his nose . "Mr . Lu, it's dirty here, what are you looking for? I'll get someone to find it for you . . . " 

Lu Jinnian continued searching through the trash wordlessly, as though his assistant hadn't spoken . Just then, a spark brightened his eyes when he spotted black plastic .  

The assistant retreated backwards, looking as Lu Jinnian opened the plastic bag . In a daze, he stood by the rubbish bin, frozen, looking straight into the bag .  

The cake was in ruin, the butter cream spilling over the bag . There was also deflated balloons inside that were emitting a horrible smell .  

In that instant, Lu Jinnian was at a loss for words . He stood there, a heart-wrenching pain exploding through his body . He stood trembling, with the plastic bag in his hands .  

The assistant didn't know what he saw, but he knew that something was wrong . He just stood silently at the side, not daring to even breathe .  

Lu Jinnian remained paralyzed in the same position for a long time before finally blinking his eyes . He continued to stare down at the mess in the bin, trying to decipher how the cake had looked like originally . After another long while, he blinked before placing the plastic bag back in the trash bin . He then brushed past his assistant, as though he wasn't there, heading for the backyard .  

When Madam Chen saw Lu Jinnian entering, she immediately greeted him "Mr . Lu", but he brushed past her as though she hadn't spoken, walking straight for the bedroom . He entered the room and shut the door, leaning against it, staring up at the crystal lights in deep thought .  

Madam Chen wasn't lying . . She had planned a surprise for him yesterday .

Madam Chen mentioned that it was the first time she had made a birthday cake . . .  

If he had come back home yesterday, it would have all been his . Why didn't he come back? Why didn't he come back? 

His eyes started to sting, his throat choked up to the point he couldn't breath normally . He reached to cover his face with his hands, a wrenching murmur escaping his throat, "Lu Jinnian, why didn't you com back?" 

By the time he came went down, he was back to his frosty, distant self . He had showered and changed into a fresh set of clothes . Without a word, he walked to his car .  

The entire journey, Lu Jinnian remained in the same position as when he just entered the car, his gaze staring out the window in deep thought .  

The atmosphere in the car was thick .  

The assistant focused on driving, his gaze staring straight ahead, not daring to make any sudden movements .
