Chapter 225
Qiao Anhao’s dance was mesmerizing, captivating everyone’s attention . There weren’t many people that noticed Lu Jinnian’s unusual behavior
But that didn’t mean it went unnoticed . Qiao Anxia had been observing him, completely taking in Lu Jinnian’s actions . It was obvious that he had been in a daze due to Qiao Anhao, his fiery intense stare betraying him .
The suspicion that she had suppressed bit at her once again .
After touching up her makeup, Qiao Anhao accidentally spilled water onto her hand as she took a sip . She looked around for her bag, spotting it beside Qiao Anxia . “Sis, could you pass me the tissue in my bag . “
Qiao Anxia was in a daze, her face blank as she opened Qiao Anhao’s bag . The moment she opened the bag, she froze as she spotted a familiar looking medicine bottle .
“Sis? Found it?”
Qiao Anhao asked once again, bringing Qiao Anxia back to her senses . Qiao Anxia passed the tissue over before sweeping another glance over the medicine bottle . Nonchalantly, she pretended that nothing was wrong, zipping Qiao Anhao’s bag shut .
That medicine bottle belonged to Lu Jinnian .
She was familiar with that bottle . Two years ago, Lu Jinnian’s assistant had sent her back when she gotten drunk after a gathering . Before leaving the car, he had passed the bottle over to Lu Jinnian , reminding him to apply it on his wounds . At that time, she had asked about it out of curiosity . His assistant told her that it was a medicine specially brought from Yun Nan that removed scars .
She then asked where she could get it in Beijing .
Lu Jinnian’s assistant then told her that there was only one bottle in the whole Beijing and it belonged to Lu Jinnian .
But now Qiao Anhao had it too . She had never been to Yun Nan and couldn’t have bought the medicine there, so it could only mean that Lu Jinnian had given it to her . . .

The more Qiao Anxia thought, the more anxious she got . The second take had already began, but she still couldn’t stay calm, excusing herself to the toilet .
Standing in front of the mirror, she washed her hands in deep thought . She recalled the events from the past few days before coming to a conclusion that Qiao Anhao was the girl Lu Jinnian had been in-love with all these years .
Qiao Anxia was startled by her revelation, grabbing onto the basin . She looked down at the streaming water, seemingly in shock .
“Miss Qiao?”
Qiao Anxia looked to the side, seeing Lu Jinnian’s assistant come out from the men’s toilet . She hurriedly swept away her startled expression, smiling towards him as she continued to wash her hands . Casually, she asked, “When did you come back from the city?”
“City? Which city? I was in my room sleeping the entire day,” he replied .
“Really? I could have remembered wrongly,” she said calmly before smiling slightly once again .
“I’ll be leaving now . “
Qiao Anxia nodded, her lips curling into a small smile . Once he left, she clenched onto the basin tightly .
Lu Jinnian’s assistant was here the entire day . . . That meant that Lu Jinnian had lied this morning when he mentioned that his assistant had taken the car away . . .
