Chapter 623: Suppressing the Surging Emotions (2)

Of course, Shen Nian knew her three dorm mates had followed her down, but she didn’t object. After all, she knew they would be worried about her.

As soon as she stepped out of the dormitory building, Shen Nian saw a figure standing under a large tree not far ahead.

Even though she was some distance away from the figure, it didn’t stop Shen Nian from recognizing the person under the tree at a single glance.

’How could it be? Why would he come at a time like this?’

Shen Nian’s eyes filled with joyful surprise. She stared at the person under the tree, unwilling to even blink. After standing frozen for a moment, Shen Nian ran toward him.

"Hey, Xiao Nian, where are you going?"

When Wang Chunhua saw Shen Nian dash forward, she tried to go and pull her back. It was so late; running out like that was dangerous!

However, Wang Chunhua had barely cried out before Chu Lingxiu and Qi Yunzhi grabbed her from behind.

"Don’t go over there."

"Why not? What if Xiao Nian is in some kind of danger?"

Wang Chunhua looked at the two of them, completely baffled. ’Usually, whenever anything happens with Shen Nian, these two are always more worked up and concerned than I am. Why are they acting so strangely today?’

"Just take a look at who’s standing over there!"

"Huh? Who is it?"

Wang Chunhua glanced ahead, then looked back at Qi Yunzhi and Chu Lingxiu, her expression even more bewildered.

"Oh, right, I forgot you’ve never met him. Quick, remember this: the man under the big tree is Xiao Nian’s husband!"

Both Chu Lingxiu and Qi Yunzhi had met Lu Cheng before. While they hadn’t recognized him as quickly as Shen Nian had, they figured it out as soon as they saw her reaction.

That just left Wang Chunhua, naively worrying that Shen Nian was running into danger.

"Oh, so that’s Xiao Nian’s husband?"

After Qi Yunzhi’s reminder, Wang Chunhua stopped trying to go forward. But as she looked toward the large tree, she was filled with curiosity about Lu Cheng.

She had only heard that Shen Nian was married, but she had never met her husband and had no idea what he looked like.

She had thought it would be a long time before she’d get the chance to meet Shen Nian’s husband. She never expected it would be so soon!

"But, I thought Xiao Nian’s husband was at work. Why is he here at this hour?"

Wang Chunhua was merely curious about what kind of person Shen Nian’s husband was. Now that she had seen him, her initial excitement quickly faded, and she began to ponder this important question.

Of course, Wang Chunhua wasn’t the only one with this question. It wasn’t just her friends; Shen Nian herself had the very same thought the moment she saw Lu Cheng.

"Ah Cheng, why are you here?"

Shen Nian ran up to Lu Cheng and stopped. After catching her breath, she looked at him and asked.

She had already called Lu Cheng to tell him that she wouldn’t be going to the Group this weekend. Lu Cheng hadn’t objected when he learned she was going to the Gu family to treat a patient. ’So why would he suddenly show up in the middle of the night?’

Of course, Shen Nian had no idea what Lu Cheng had been doing before he came here. In fact, even if she tried, she could never have guessed that he had gone to see Gu Hengzhi, much less what topics they had discussed.

Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian standing before him, and it took a monumental effort to suppress the emotions surging within him.
