Chapter 95

Lu Jinnian came out the shower and changed into a clean set of clothes . He turned around to see Qiao Anhao in bed .

She lay curled up . Her white, bouncy skin had patches of blue and purple, and the bite marks had hardened into scabs . He had given her those a few days ago . Perhaps because of the pain, her body still trembled .

Seeing Qiao Anhao like this, Lu Jinnian felt the urge to go over and hug her in his arms . But in the end, he only balled up his fists and forcefully pushed the thought to the back of his mind .

As he made his way to the bedroom door, he stopped and stood there for a while before turning to the bedside .

Qiao Anhao felt Lu Jinnian nearing closer and held her breath .

Lu Jinnian reached his hand to touch Qiao Anhao’s face . Her face seemed to be in pain, revealing a mild paleness in color .

Lu Jinnian pushed down the pain in his heart and enunciated every word in an abnormally frightening tone, “Qiao Anhao, I warn you . The deal that we have between us, I say when we start and when we end . It’s not up to you to decide!” He forcibly pursed his lips and continued, “And don’t you worry about spending your whole life with me . Once I’m done playing with you, I won’t let you stay even if you beg me . When that happens, you’ll have to rely on yourself to work in the entertainment industry!”

Qiao Anhao’s eyes were pitch black . The light in her eyes had darkened and her complexion grew pale, as though she had been drained of blood .

Lu Jinnian glared straight at her lifeless face, then turned to leave with a look of indifference .

Qiao Anhao didn’t stay in Lu Jinnian’s room for long . Ten minutes after he left, she pushed herself off the bed and went back to her room, enduring the aching pain in her body .

Zhao Meng hadn’t went to slept yet . She sat in bed playing games . Seeing that Qiao Anhao came back, she excitedly dropped her phone, but then, she fell silent . When she saw how roughed up her friend looked, her smile disappeared .

After a long while, she asked, “Lu Jinnian, that b*stard . Did he hit you again?”

Exhausted, Qiao Anhao laid down in the bed . Her pale white expression stared up at the ceiling for a long while . Then, she broke into a smile and intentionally said in a chilling tone, “Zhao Meng, did you know . . . I got the leading female role in Huan Ying Entertainment’s upcoming historical drama . Leading-female-role! I’m going to be a star!”

Zhao Meng didn’t say anything . She only gazed at Qiao Anhao . Under her gaze, Qiao Anhao finally stopped laughing . She slowly turned around, facing away from Zhao Meng, and closed her eyes .

The room stayed silent for quite a while until Zhao Meng said, “Qiao Qiao, half a year ago, when you suddenly made such a fuss about joining the entertainment industry, as the daughter of an influential family, what was your real reason for getting in the entertainment industry?”
