Chapter 139

Lu Jinnian directed his attention to the coffee table . There was indeed a box of food there . His brows furrowed slightly and his gaze deepened .

He continued to stare at the food, not moving . Qiao Anhao thought that he didn’t want to eat so she struggled slightly before adding, “Your assistant mentioned that you’ve been working the whole afternoon, you must be tired . If you don’t eat, how can you last till tomorrow?”

Lu Jinnian continued to stay silent, his gaze falling back on Qiao Anhao .

Her fingers tightened on the documents she held . Weakly, she added, “Besides, even if you have no appetite, you should still eat a little, it’s better than not eating . . . “

Qiao Anhao was almost defeated at this point .

If she were to do away with the “married couple” title, they were practically strangers . On their marital night, she had even mentioned that she would not interfere with his life and he had told her “better remember your words . ” Hence, after their marriage, she had never questioned his lifestyle, not even said a simple word of care or goodnight . . . But now, she was insisting that he eat his meal . Was that considered breaching their agreement . . .

Qiao Anhao felt increasingly more uneasy the more she pondered . But till the end, she weakly insisted, “It won’t be good for your stomach if you skip meals often . “

Lu Jinnian remained silent, staring unwaveringly at her .

Just when she was about to give up, he suddenly walked forward, sitting down on the sofa . He pointed to the box of food, asking, “What’s there?”

Qiao Anhao looked at Lu Jinnian in shock, and after a while, she still couldn’t process his words .

Lu Jinnian seemed to be amused by her slow reaction, his lips curling upwards slightly . Continuing in a calm voice with no expression, he asked, “I thought you brought me food?”

Qiao Anhao finally understood that he was referring to the supper . Her eyes curled slightly before she placed the stack of documents on his desk . Walking back to the supper, she opened the box and reported the food she had ordered, “One box of Yanzhou fried rice, one bowl of winter melon soup, a set of chicken wings and one stir fried Kailan . . . “

Lu Jinnian continued to remain silent, staring at Qiao Anhao, his expression gentle .
