Chapter 191 - The Secrets Hidden in Memory (22) (1/2)
Jin Xiangdong got into the car and backed it up a few meters. When he was about to take the turn to the main road, he looked back at the door of the house. Lu Jia’er was waving him goodbye. This scene filled his heart with an upsurge of warm sentiment. At that moment, Lu Jia’er was like his wife who was seeing him off to work.
Jin Xianglan noticed the glimmer of a smile that could not be hidden in his eyes. She could not help but exclaim that love was really magical. In the old days, he knew nothing but work. She had to look at him with a new perspective now that he appeared to be so deeply in love. That being said, she wondered, would this relationship last?
Jin Xiangdong did not ask her about the destination and just drove. “Aren’t you going to ask me where we are off to?” Jin Xianglan said.
Jin Xiangdong kept his eyes on the road and his hands on the steering wheel. “The research center.” He gave a brief reply.
The siblings were still in sync. Jin Xianglan did not really mean to have him chauffeur her around for half a day. Her true intention was to get him checked.
Jin Xianglan smiled. “It’s been almost a year since your last check-up. I want to keep tabs on your physical condition.”
“I am in a perfectly good condition.” Jin Xiangdong answered.
However, Jin Xianglan did not buy it. “I must see the data.”
Jin Xiangdong smiled. “Actually, we could take Jia’er with us,” he said.
Jin Xianglan kept her eyes on her brother. “Being honest with each other is the most basic requirement for a couple. Yet, not everything should follow this principle. To present everything to the other party in a completely unfiltered way may be counterproductive and can be detrimental to the growth of that relationship.”
The corners of his mouth lifted up slightly. “Oh, I see! From now on, sister, please give me more advice like this.”
While Jin Xiangdong put on an expression of asking for guidance, Jin Xianglan had no interest in being his love tutor. She moved on to the next subject. “Are you on a business trip or just visiting home?”
“What if I say neither of them?” Jin Xiangdong asked with a smile.
