Chapter 6

When Qiao Anhao first fell in love with Lu Jinnian, her dreams were constantly filled with him . As time went by, she became afraid of seeing him . Whenever he was near her, she would be drowned in fear and anxiety . And these feelings only intensified after the events three months ago…

At this very moment, Lu Jinnian was sitting behind her . All her senses heightened as she grew aware of his voice and his breath . Her palms got soaked with sweat from her anxiety .

Lu Jinnian and the director’s conversation centered around movies and dramas . Even though Lu Jinnian didn’t say much, Qiao Anhao’s heart trembled at his every word .

No longer able to withstand the pressure, Qiao Anhao put down her chopsticks, threw the excuse of toilet to Zhao Meng, and stood up . But the moment she stood up, Lu Jinnian stood up as well .

Was it a coincidence or was it deliberate?

The washroom was behind Qiao Anhao and the dining hall exit was behind Lu Jinnian . Hence, just as she turned, he turned as well . Their gazes collided .

Just a glance at Lu Jinnian caused Qiao Anhao to frantically lower her head, avoiding his eyes .

The two of them now have been married for five months but the news had never been publicized . To the public, the two of them were strangers to each other .

Qiao Anhao clenched her fists tightly, trying to calm her rapidly pounding heart . Attempting to act like everyone else, as though they were indeed strangers, she greeted him politely, “Good evening, Mr . Lu . “

Lu Jinnian remained straight-faced, not moving, his gaze uncertain, giving the impression that he hadn’t heard Qiao Anhao’s greeting at all . After a long while, he suddenly blinked . Turning, he took a detour before taking long strides out the dining hall .

From the very beginning, he hadn’t taken a single glance at Qiao Anhao, as though the woman in front of him wasn’t the wife he had married five months ago .

Lu Jinnian had a cold and aloof personality that made it difficult for others to get close . His authority in the entertainment industry further instilled fear in others, forcing them to behave carefully around him . The moment he left the dining hall, the atmosphere gradually heightened, returning to the boisterous affair of before his arrival . But because he had come, people naturally started gossiping about him .

“Lu Jinnian is indeed a legend of the industry . “

“He’s not just a legend, he is an unbelievable miracle . For the past ten years since his debut, there wasn’t any gossip or backlash . “

“He has also built his own empire from scratch . It’s said that he entered the industry as a poor boy without any background . After four years, his fame skyrocketed, and he clinched the “Best Male Actor” award for six consecutive years . Out of the ten movies voted online as classics, he appeared in six, in only two of them not as the lead . “
