Naturally, the assistant knew what was going through Lu Jinnian's mind, and so he didn't even wait for him to choose. He paused for a while, and then continued, saying ”Mr. Lu, you had a little clash in the past at the Capital Club with Chief Lin who you are meant to have dinner with tonight, and so would you like to go to the Royal Palace?”

Though the assistant had clearly said the words on Lu Jinnian's mind, his face didn't reveal a hint of happiness. Instead, after listening to the assistant's words, he remained silent for a while, then gently nodded as though he didn't care.

Of course, the assistant didn't dare expose Lu Jinnian's hypocrisy and went on with official business, pulling out his phone and booking a booth at the Royal Palace.

The car fell silent again, but the atmosphere didn't feel as tense as before.

Through the rear view mirror, the assistant looked over at Lu Jinnian again. His head was turned again as he stared out the window. However, the gloom that accumulated between his eyes for the past few days seemed to have dissipated a little.

Because of Lu Jinnian's overly good skills at masking his criticism, the assistant randomly felt a hint of sadness just now.

He clearly didn't like places like the Royal Palace, nor did he like to play cards. Above all, he hated women who he didn't know throwing themselves at him. Yet, tonight, because that woman will be at the Royal Palace, he was going too.

Even if they were clearly in the same place, the two of them might not even bump into each other, but just by getting closer to her, even like this, improved his mood.

The assistant had studied science and technology, a serious degree with incredibly technical language, but at that moment, for some reason, his mind boggled over Eileen Chang's famous tragic but beautiful quote, ”Loving somebody is being humbled to the dust, and then from there blooming into a flower.”
