The chauffeur drove steadily, and the colorful neon lights on the roadside shone through the car window, changing into various lights as the car moved.
Xu Dingjun had been quietly accompanying Su Lingwei in the car. He didn’t say much, nor did he inquire curiously about Xiao Zhenyu.
He just occasionally glanced at Su Lingwei to see if she was uncomfortable or if she needed anything.
However, since getting in the car, Su Lingwei had closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat, her face calm.
She didn’t make any other movements, as if she was just tired and wanted to rest after drinking.
Seeing Su Lingwei like this, Xu Dingjun naturally didn’t want to disturb her, but he couldn’t help but look at her.
Su Lingwei, with her eyes closed, cast a shadow with her long eyelashes under her eyelids. Her nose was small and straight, her lips painted with red lipstick, lightly pursed, and her small face, the size of a palm, was delicate and beautiful.
Su Lingwei, who worked during the day, was more competent and decisive, while Su Lingwei, who was resting with her eyes closed at the moment, seemed much more gentle and fragile, just like any other woman who needed protection.
At this moment, Su Lingwei suddenly opened her eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Dingjun quickly asked, “Are you feeling unwell? Do you want some water?”
Su Lingwei waved her hand, “No need.”
She just seemed to have fallen asleep for a while with her eyes closed, and then dreamed of some unpleasant things, waking up suddenly.
She didn’t know if what she had just dreamed of was a warning, but she planned to check it carefully to be prepared.
Half an hour later, the chauffeur drove the car to the entrance of the Emperor Grand Court apartment building.
When Su Lingwei was about to get off the car, she asked Xu Dingjun, “Can you drive?”
Xu Dingjun nodded, “I can drive, and I have a driver’s license.”
Su Lingwei was relieved and said, “Tonight, let the driver take you back. The car is parked at your house. You can drive it to the company tomorrow morning.”
At three in the morning, Xu Dingjun kindly offered to take her home, and Su Lingwei didn’t want to let him take a taxi back by himself.
Her home was too far from the Red Star Community in the suburbs. Taking a taxi would cost a lot, and Xu Dingjun had also drunk. It was safer to let the driver take him home.
“When you get home, give me a call.” Su Lingwei got off the car and reminded Xu Dingjun. She was like a responsible boss, caring for her employees, but this was also necessary. Xu Dingjun was the male lead she had chosen, and she was counting on him to make a fortune with the movie “Overnight Riches.”
After hearing Su Lingwei’s words, Xu Dingjun repeatedly said, “Thank you, President Su. Get home and rest early.”
Su Lingwei waved her hand and said, “Go quickly.”
“Bye, see you tomorrow.” Xu Dingjun also waved to her and left in the car.
Back home, Su Lingwei changed into fluffy slippers at the door and slowly walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of mineral water.
She closed the refrigerator door, leaned against it, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water, tilted her head back, and gulped down two mouthfuls.
At this moment, her phone rang with two message notifications.
Su Lingwei put the mineral water aside and took out her phone to check the messages.
The first message on WeChat was from Xiao Zhenyu, who hadn’t replied to her messages for a long time.
The second message was sent by Xu Dingjun, whom Su Lingwei added on WeChat because of work.
Su Lingwei skipped Xiao Zhenyu’s message and clicked on Xu Dingjun’s message below.
Xu Dingjun: I forgot to give you hangover medicine and mineral water. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?
Seeing this caring message, Su Lingwei smiled.
In her previous life, for a long time, she had never received such a warm text message.
After being reborn, she was living diligently, and everything was slowly changing.
She replied to Xu Dingjun’s message: I feel much better after taking the hangover medicine. Thank you tonight.
Xu Dingjun replied instantly: Rest early.
Su Lingwei thought for a moment, then replied with “Okay.”
After exiting the chat with Xu Dingjun, Su Lingwei saw the message still at the top, realizing she forgot to unpin Xiao Zhenyu’s message.
Now that she remembered, Su Lingwei simply unpinned it.
When she unpinned it, she saw the message Xiao Zhenyu sent: Have you safely returned home?
Seeing this, Su Lingwei wanted to laugh.
She used to care for Xiao Zhenyu in the same way.
When he was away on business, she would always send him various messages, such as wishing him a safe journey, to be careful, to wear warm clothes in the cold weather, and so on.
If she learned he was back from a business trip, she would ask when he would be home.
‘Have you arrived home? ‘
However, she had never received a response from Xiao Zhenyu to such messages.
So, what was the meaning of him sending such a message to her now?
Su Lingwei thought for a moment and replied, “When are you free? Shall we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate?”
After sending the message, Su Lingwei put her phone aside, leisurely walked back to her room, took her pajamas, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
By the time Su Lingwei finished her shower and came out, it was already more than twenty minutes later.
But there was still no reply from Xiao Zhenyu.
Su Lingwei was wondering if Xiao Zhenyu hadn’t seen the message or what was going on when she received a call from Xu Dingjun.
Staring at the jumping name on the phone screen, Su Lingwei paused before answering the call.
Xu Dingjun’s smiling voice came through the phone, “President Su, I have safely arrived home.”
Su Lingwei responded with a “Hmm” and said, “That’s good. It’s late now, you should rest early too. I’m already prepared to sleep.”
There were sounds of opening and closing doors from the phone, and Xu Dingjun, hearing Su Lingwei say she was ready to sleep, didn’t want to say much more, just said, “Then you rest, good night.”
“Good night.” After saying that, Su Lingwei hung up the phone, put her phone on the bedside table, took off her shoes, got into bed, buried herself in the soft blanket, and closed her eyes contentedly.
That night, Su Lingwei didn’t have any strange dreams and slept well.
The next morning, Su Lingwei went to the hospital to see her father first. The doctors and nurses at the hospital said that Father Su’s condition was recovering very well, as long as he persisted in treatment, he would be able to leave the hospital soon.
Father Su still couldn’t speak very clearly, but he was very happy to see Su Lingwei, and he kept smiling happily.
“Dad, I’ve handled everything at the company. You don’t have to worry. With me in the company, you can rest assured. Take good care of yourself and strive for a speedy recovery.” Su Lingwei peeled an apple for her father while chatting with him.
Looking at Su Lingwei, Father Su’s eyes were full of tenderness and love. He had many things to say, but in the end, he could only slowly say, “Wei Wei, good, I, I, know, you, are, great…”
Su Lingwei fed the peeled apple to Father Su and said, “Dad, when you get better, I’ll give you an even more glorious Jiahe Entertainment.”
Father Su took a bite of the apple, filled with joy. In his heart, his daughter was always the best.
