Chapter 690: Only One Can Live

Lu Mian emerged from Hua Ying's room by the time it was already after 8 pm.

Her phone buzzed, and she opened the message.

Although it was unsigned, Lu Mian knew who had sent it, releasing a soft sigh as she walked composedly toward the back garden.

The conversation that needed to happen was inevitable.

She just hoped Director Qi wouldn't be angry.

There was only one stout phoenix tree in the back garden, so thick that not one person could wrap their arms around it. Relying on the yard's street lights, Lu Mian saw a tall man in a trench coat standing under the tree. The trunk hid most of his body, but that didn't prevent Lu Mian from recognizing who he was.

She walked straight towards him.

"Sikong."

Lu Mian called out gently, and the man straightened up and turned around, a flash of satisfaction passing through his phoenix eyes.

"You came," he smiled.

Lu Mian stopped a meter away from him; this was the first time the two of them were speaking alone at the office.
