Chapter 28

Just as Qiao Anhao was hesitating on whether or not she should knock on the door to retrieve her things, the tightly shut door swung open . A series of loud swishes resounded as her things were rudely tossed onto the ground . Before Qiao Anhao could react, the door slammed shut .

Her bags weren’t zipped, the contents spilling out, littering the entire floor .

She stood stunned . After she managed to gather her senses, she knelt down and started filling the contents into her bag one by one .

After she packing, she took one last look at the tightly shut door . Pursing her lips tightly, she turned around silently, walking away with heavy steps .

Lu Jinnian returned to his room and, as he reached for the pack of cigarettes on the bedside table, he found a packet of fever medicine on the table . Qiao Anhao had bought him fever medicine . Lu Jinnian’s eyes dimmed . He took the medicine and dumped it in the trash bin before lighting up a cigarette . He walked towards the window, taking deep puffs . As the smoke entered his body, he started to relax .

From the window, he could see the back view of Qiao Anhao leaving . His fingers trembled . He lifted the cigarette, taking another deep breath . He then left the smoke in his mouth for a while before blowing it out slowly . Clouded by the smoke, he could still see Qiao Anhao entering her car . After about half a minute, the car started and left .

Lu Jinnian waited till the car was out of sight before lifting his hand to take one last puff . He then extinguished the cigarette on the ashtray . He stood on the balcony for a while longer before turning to his room to retrieve his phone . Entering a number, he waited for connection, then said, “Leave the second female lead role for ‘Alluring Times’ empty, I have someone in mind .

“Also, clear my schedule, I want to act the second lead role for ‘Alluring Times’ .

“There is nothing wrong . After acting in the lead role for so long, the second lead would be a good change . Besides, I didn’t intend to take up any more films .

“Okay, that’s it for now . Just do as I say . “

Before giving the other person a chance to speak, Lu Jinnian hung up the call .

After his high fever, his body was yet to fully recover . He threw the phone on the bed before lying down in fatigue . Somehow, his eyes would subconsciously look towards the trash bin at the side .

He stared at the bin for a long while before staggering to pick up the box of fever medicine inside .

Lu Jinnian stared at the box, a dim light flashing across his eyes .
