Chapter 184 Why is Lu Tingnian here?
Qiao Luo recognized Lu Tingnian's ringtone almost immediately, because his ringtone was very distinctive, consisting of only a few clanging sounds like striking a wooden fish, which she remembered very clearly.
But why is Lu Tingnian here?
Or is it just someone else inside who uses the same ringtone as him?
As Qiao Luo was wondering, Tang Shaoyu quickly reminded her, "Miss Qiao, didn't you want my number? I'll give it to you now."
Qiao Luo then snapped out of her daze. She wrote down Tang Shaoyu's phone number and made a note of it before asking him, "Mr. Tang, could you tell me who that sound was just now...?"
"Oh, that's my phone, my other phone."
Tang Shaoyu quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo stopped asking questions. It turned out that there really was someone whose phone ringtone was the same as Lu Tingnian's.
"Well then, Mr. Tang, I'll be going now. Thank you for tonight."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Watching her departing figure, Tang Shaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Lu Tingnian inside and said,
"Brother Nian, that really scared me to death."
Lu Tingnian remained silent.
His phone rang just now, and he deliberately hung up without answering it, worried that Qiao Luo would recognize his voice.
"she left?"
"Okay, I'm leaving," Tang Shaoyu said.
Lu Tingnian stood up. "Then let's go too."
As he spoke, he walked outside.
Tang Shaoyu quickly followed.
When they arrived at the restaurant entrance, Qiao Luo was waiting for a car by the roadside. Although they were still some distance from the entrance, there was still a chance that she would be seen.
Lu Tingnian didn't step forward; instead, he took out his phone and called Han Jian.
"Drive your car over here and take Qiao Luo home."
It was so late, and he was worried about her taking a taxi home.
Han Jian asked from the other end, "Then how will you get back, President Lu?"
Lu Tingnian turned around and glanced at Tang Shaoyu behind him, saying, "I have my own way."
With that, he hung up the phone and said to Tang Shaoyu, "I'll ride back in your car."
Tang Shaoyu was naturally eager to have it.
Qiao Luo called a ride-sharing service online. Tonight, she had drunk two glasses of wine at the urging of her colleagues. She couldn't drive home and couldn't find a designated driver, so she had no choice but to take a taxi.
The car that had just picked up her order was still some distance away, so she had no choice but to wait.
But just then, a familiar car suddenly stopped in front of her.
Qiao Luo recognized it as Han Jian's car, and sure enough, she saw Han Jian get out of the car.
"Miss Qiao, please get in the car."
Qiao Luo was quite surprised to see Han Jian. This wasn't the first time she had run into him outside; it seemed like she would encounter him every time she needed to take a ride.
At first, Qiao Luo didn't think much of it. After all, Jiang City was only so big, so it wasn't strange to run into someone like that. But after it happened a few times, she stopped thinking it was a coincidence.
Especially on a night like tonight, so late, the probability of running into Han Jian is very low, yet she did. This doesn't seem like a coincidence at all; it's as if Han Jian was already waiting here.
But Han Jian's profession is not that of a driver.
Once doubt arises in a person's mind, their thoughts become unusually clear. Qiao Luo couldn't help but think back to the phone ringing just now. Was it really just a coincidence? As she was pondering this, Han Jian spoke again, "Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Luo then came to her senses and looked at Han Jian: "Mr. Han, you're not on business nearby again, are you?"
He always gave this excuse whenever he ran into Han Jian.
Han Jian: "..."
