That evening, Ares insisted on taking Lu Xiao home first before he went out, a gesture that left Lu Xiao not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
When she saw Ares at the entrance of her office building, Lu Xiao thought she must have misremembered and that his dinner party wasn't tonight.
But after asking, she learned it wasn't her memory that was faulty. Ares had gone out of his way to pick her up and take her home.
His reason was simple: he was worried about her going home by herself.
Lu Xiao had a feeling that if she offered to go to the dinner party with him right then, Ares wouldn't have refused.
But she felt it was unnecessary. Ares deserved to have his own personal space.
After dropping Lu Xiao off at home, Ares was about to start cooking, but Lu Xiao quickly stopped him. "Ares, you should get going. Aren't you already late?"
Ares paused and looked at Lu Xiao. "There's no rush. They said they'd wait for me."
