Chapter 20 - She Hated It And She Loved It. (1/2)

It is often said that there are two things in this life that cannot be looked at directly; one is the sun and the other is the human heart. The human heart is also known as human nature, which equates to emotions plus gains. Whenever Lu Jia’er saw through the hearts of everyone around her—she yearned, even more strongly, for the world of ordinary people.

While Lu Jia’er was thinking of these matters, Jin Xiangdong’s figure emerged in her mind. So far he was the only man whose heart she had failed to see through.

Li Lin saw that she was absent-minded. “What were you thinking?”

Lu Jia’er terminated that line of thought and stopped her mind from wandering. “Nothing. Get back to your work!”

Li Lin bowed her head and went on with her own business. Lu Jia’er did the same. But she was wondering whether she should pay Jin Shengping a visit as she had hit his car.

So Lu Jia’er took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Jin Xiangdong. “Ace, which hotel is Academician Jin staying at. I want to visit him!”

But even after a few minutes passed she didn’t get a reply, so she had to focus her attention back on her work.

An hour later during her lecture, Jia’er’s mobile phone, which was resting on the desk, received a WeChat message replying to her question.

…

At 3:30 p.m., the heat from the sun made it hot enough to cook an egg on the ground. Lu Jia’er got out of a taxi. As her shoes pressed against the pavement, she could clearly feel the heat radiating from the ground.

With a bunch of flowers in hand, she quickly adjusted her hair, and then walked into the hotel lobby.

Two minutes later, Lu Jia’er came to the door of Room 1808.

It would be her second time meeting Jin Shengping. Lu Jia’er still couldn’t tame her nervousness. She took out a mirror from her bag, checked her makeup, lowered her head to check her dress before she finally took a deep breath as she reached out for the doorbell.

After a few seconds, the door opened.

What appeared in front of Lu Jia’er was not Xiao Shengping’s assistant Xiao Dong, but a cute Amy-like robot, who stared at her with blinking eyes.

For a split second, Lu Jia’er thought that she had knocked on the wrong door, but she quickly ascertained that the robot in front of her was definitely produced by BUA Technology.

“Excuse me, is Academician Jin Shengping in?” Lu Jia’er politely asked Ike.

“Yes, please come in!” Ike said with an after-you gesture.

Lu Jia’er went into the room and saw Jin Shengping seated on the sofa in the living room, still wearing a cervical collar.

“Hello, Mr. Jin!” Lu Jia’er smiled.

Jin Sheng Ping gazed at Lu Jia’er cheerfully. “Professor Lu, here you are!”
