Chapter 90

Since Qiao Anhao was sleeping in an uncomfortable position on the sofa, she woke up after over an hour . When she opened her eyes, she looked around the room in a daze . The memory of where she was rushed back, and in that instant, she became truly awake .

She slowly got up from the sofa .

The blanket draped over Qiao Anhao fell to the ground when she got up .

The room was silent . The TV that was on earlier had been turned off . The sounds from the photocopier had stopped . Perhaps the script had already finished copying .

Qiao Anhao took a few steps forward towards the bedroom when she noticed that she stepped on something . She looked down to find a thin blanket . She dazed out for a moment before bending down to pick it up . She clutched the blanket with a stunned look on her face .

Did Lu Jinnian cover her when she fell asleep?

Knowing full well that there wasn’t anything behind his actions, deep down inside, Qiao Anhao still felt a slither of happiness . The corner of her lips couldn’t help but gently arch upwards . She tightly hugged the blanket and briskly stepped towards the bedroom .

The bedroom door was open, its lights illuminating the room . Qiao Anhao didn’t rush head first in but stood at the door .

At first, from the living room, Qiao Anhao couldn’t smell the cigarettes, but once she stood at the door, the smell rushed up her nostrils . She discreetly creased her eyebrows . She peered into the room to find Lu Jinnian sprawled on the table, lying motionless .

Out of courtesy, Qiao Anhao reached out to knock on the door . Seeing that Lu Jinnian didn’t respond, she knocked again and called out, “Mr . Lu . “

He still didn’t respond . It looked like he’d fallen deep asleep, spread out on the table .

Qiao Anhao hesitated for a moment before tiptoeing into the room . She went over to the window and opened it .

The gentle night breeze wafted in . Qiao Anhao saw that Lu Jinnian wore short sleeves, and after thinking about it for a moment, carefully went to his side and put the thin blanket over him .

Lu Jinnian’s face was completely covered by his arms, so she couldn’t see his face . As Qiao Anhao was covering Lu Jinnian, she stared at his head for a while . Without making a single sound, she reached over, hoping to pick up the script and leave .

But as her hand reached for the script, Lu Jinnian suddenly lifted his head . Stunned, Qiao Anhao hurriedly pulled her hand back and explained, “I knocked but you didn’t respond, so I came in . “

Lu Jinnian didn’t say a word . He turned to look at the open window and back at the blanket draped over him .

Qiao Anhao noticed his actions and grew a little nervous . She quickly explained, “There was a lot of smoke in the room, so I opened the window . It was cold and I was afraid you’d catch a cold . “
