Chapter 203

Lu Jinnian had woken up early in the morning to come to the Mount Yi villa . As he still had a slight fever, he never slept well, and so listening to Qiao Anhao’s chatter, he unwittingly nodded off .

That nap, he fell into a particularly deep sleep . When he woke up again, sky outside his window was already dark . As the lights were off in his room, it was pitch-black .

Lu Jinnian felt around for the remote control . He turned on all the lights in the villa . Seeing that he was the only one in the room, he instinctively raised his arm to rub the bandage on his back . With this, he confirmed that Qiao Anhao had really been here this afternoon . He then flew off the bed and left the room .

The villa was very quiet . Apart from his footsteps, no other sounds could be heard . The floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor wasn’t shut, and so the cold night air blew the curtains, fluttering them endlessly .

Lu Jinnian went around the whole villa but couldn’t see Qiao Anhao at all . A hint of disappointment couldn’t help but appear in his heart . She had already left . . . Lu Jinnian stood in the large empty living room on his own for a long while before pursing his lips and striding up the stairs . He circled the bedroom once more before finally taking a few pills from the cabinet by the bedhead .

Lu Jinnian’s line of sight instantly paused . He quietly stared for a long time, and then pulled out a cigarette from the side-drawer, sitting down . He lit it up but didn’t take a hit, as he heard a faint sound coming from downstairs .

He furrowed his brows and listened carefully . There was in fact a faint sound of footsteps . Thereupon, he put out the cigarette in his hand in the ash tray, then quickly got up and left the room . Just as he reached the stairs, he saw Qiao Anhao panting, carrying a large bag into the dining room .

Lu Jinnian strode over, casually going down the stairs towards the dining room .

The dining room’s door was open, and he saw her taking one dish out after the other from her bag of takeaway and place them neatly on the dining table .

Lu Jinnian didn’t say a word to disturb her, leaning on the dining room doo as he quietly watched .

Qiao Anhao nicely packed everything away, looked at the table of food, and clapped her hands in satisfaction . She turned around then, ready to call Lu Jinnian for dinner . When she saw him posed leisurely at the door, she jumped in shock, but then smiled at him . “You’re up? Then go wash your hands for dinner . “

Lu Jinnian didn’t move but stared into Qiao Anhao’s eyes for a while, then asked, “You went out just now to get take out?”

Qiao Anhao nodded, then said with a hint of an anger in her voice, “You live too far . They wouldn’t deliver here, and so I had to drive over there myself to get it . “

So she didn’t leave after all . . . Lu Jinnian’s heart relaxed a little . He slowly stood upright, turned towards the first floor, and went to the communal bathroom to wash his hands . When he came back, Qiao Anhao already sat obediently at the dining table, waiting for him .

As she saw him come in, she said, “I can’t cook, and I don’t know what you like to eat, so I bought some rather bland food . “

Lu Jinnian pulled out the chair in front of Qiao Anhao and sat down . He glanced over five dishes and one soup . The meat and vegetables suited each other well, and nutrition was well balanced . He nodded at Qiao Anhao and picked up the chopsticks that she’d prepared for him earlier and started to eat .

After a few bites, Lu Jinnian raised his head and looked at Qiao Anhao, who was eating in silence . He stopped for a moment, thinking of a topic for conversation . He asked, “How did you get in?”
