Chapter 1036: The strange car owner (2)
Translator: DaoistLUbAbJ
It was a little difficult to wait for a taxi, which led to Leng Nuan returning to the entrance of the residential area. It was already 10:30 pm.
After paying the fare, Leng Nuan held the umbrella and hurried to the building where she lived.
When she was almost in front of the building, Leng Nuan noticed a car parked beside her. The lights were on, but the engine was still running.
Who had just come back from work?!!
Leng Nuan was just reacting. She glanced at the car. Through the dense rain, Leng Nuan felt that the car was very familiar. However, she didn’t think too much about it, so she glanced at the top of the car, then, through the windshield that was constantly dripping water, she saw the person sitting in the driver’s seat clearly.
Leng Nuan subconsciously stopped walking into the building.
It was… Lu Benlai… what was he doing downstairs in the middle of the night?
Leng Nuan instinctively clutched the umbrella in her hand.
Fortunately, Lu Benlai was on the phone and did not notice her.
It had been almost a month since they last met. In this month, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight and looked a little haggard… had he been busy with work recently?
While Leng Nuan was thinking, she realized that she seemed to be thinking too much. She quickly retracted her gaze and pretended not to see anything. She went straight into the building, put away her umbrella, pressed the elevator button, and went home.
Because she came back too late, Coco had already gone to bed.
The Auntie heard the noise and walked out of the bedroom.
Leng Nuan chatted with the Auntie about Coco. Then, Leng Nuan went into the bedroom. When she saw Coco sleeping soundly on the bed, Leng Nuan’s eyes softened a lot. She did not stay for long and went into the bathroom with her pajamas and towel.
After taking a shower, Leng Nuan took the hot milk from the Auntie. After drinking half a glass, she seemed to have thought of something. She walked to the window and looked down. Lu Benlai’s car was still there.
It was already past eleven o’clock. Why wasn’t he back yet?
After Leng Nuan finished the milk, she saw that the car downstairs did not show any signs of leaving, so she did not move.
After the Auntie came out of the shower, she saw Leng Nuan standing in front of the window, staring blankly out of the window. She walked over curiously.
The Auntie followed Leng Nuan’s line of sight and looked down. When she saw the car with its headlights on, the auntie said, “Is this car here again tonight?”
Hearing the Auntie’s voice, Leng Nuan glanced at her.
When the Auntie saw Leng Nuan looking at her, she knew that she was interested in this car, she started chattering non-stop. “I remember this car because this car is the most expensive among the cars downstairs. About twenty days ago, I saw this car every day at this time after I took a shower and washed Nan Nan’s clothes. When I came to the balcony to dry them, I could see this car… speaking of which, this car’s headlights are always on. This means that there’s someone inside. Who Do you think is sitting in the car in the middle of the night every day? Moreover, there were a few times when I woke up in the morning and took Nan Nan’s clothes, I could see this car. Moreover, the headlights were still on. This means that I’ve been sitting in the car all night…”
As the Auntie spoke, she craned her neck to take another look downstairs, then, she turned to look at Leng Nuan. “Do you think the owner of this car is strange? If he can afford such a car, he must be able to afford a house. Why is he not at home at night? Why does he have to stay in the car…”
When Leng Nuan heard the Auntie’s question, she snapped back to her senses and replied indifferently, “I’m not sure.”Then, she passed the Milk Cup to the Auntie and went into the bedroom.
