Chapter 39
Right then, the image of Qiao Anhao’s placating manner in front of producer Sun flashed past Lu Jinnian’s mind . His expression closed up and in a tone without any warmth, he said, “You’re thinking too much . “
Qiao Anhao lifted her head in doubt . Thinking too much?
Lu Jinnian’s mesmerizing lips curved into a sardonic smile and the frosty voice continued, “I wasn’t helping you, I just didn’t want to bring trouble to myself . A newbie acting as the second female lead in this tv series would definitely stir gossip and, since you’re acting alongside me, I didn’t want any of your bad reputation to affect me . “
He wasn’t trying to help her, he was just trying to save himself from trouble . She was thinking too much after all . . . Qiao Anhao lowered her lashes, shielding her disappointment . Her lips trembled as she wordlessly tightened the grasp she had on her skirt .
Lu Jinnian glanced coldly at Qiao Anhao, then brushed past her in long strides .
For a long time after Lu Jinnian left, Qiao Anhao remained motionless . Only when a sharp honk pierced the night did she blink, coming back to her senses . Zhao Meng had arrived with the car .
Qiao Anhao entered the car and sat down .
“There was a car accident that jammed the road for 30 mins,” Zhao Meng explained while driving .
Qiao Anhao remained silent, tilting her head to the side, looking out the window .
Zhao Meng took one glance at the back mirror before making a turn . “Qiao Qiao, thank goodness for Lu Jinnian . I didn’t expect him to actually help you out . “
The minute she heard that, Qiao Anhao clenched her lips, shutting her eyes .
Zhao Meng continued, “I guess Lu Jinnian still remembers past ties . After all, you have known each other for so many years, saying a few words should be nothing . “

Past ties . . . That wasn’t his intention at all . He was just worried about gossip . She had been too naive, feeling as though she had struck the lottery with just a few words .
She should have known that Lu Jinnian would not have helped her . . . She was indeed thinking too much .
How could she forget, he had once used a resolute tone to inform her: no matter who he liked, it wouldn’t be her .
Noting that Qiao Anhao wasn’t speaking, Zhao Meng couldn’t help reaching over to nudge her . “What is it? Something wrong?”
“No . ” Qiao Anhao didn’t open her eyes, afraid that she would tear up in front of Zhao Meng . “The alcohol is making me tired . “
“Oh, then you should sleep, I’ll wake you up when we reach your home . “
Qiao Anhao agreed lightly, and the car sank into silence .
