Chapter 253

Qiao Anhao seemed to have remembered something, her fingers paused before she slightly nodded . She hurriedly finished applying her eye cream and turned to look at Lu Jinnian .

Pressing her lips together, she said, “Mrs . Xu called just now, she mentioned that its Jiamu’s birthday next Friday . They would be holding a celebratory party . . . . “

Qiao Anhao paused, not able to finish her sentence . . . She had wanted him to act as Xu Jiamu, for him to act as a couple with her, but she just couldn’t continue, and so she stopped .

Even though she didn’t finish her sentence, Lu Jinnian knew instantly the moment he heard that it was Xu Jiamu’s birthday . Nonchalantly, he nodded towards Qiao Anhao before hesitantly replying with a “oh” .

In that instance, the warm rays from the ceiling light fell on Lu Jinnian, blurring his handsome features .

Qiao Anhao stared for a while, making sure that he wasn’t unhappy; her tensed up muscles finally relaxed . Turning back to face the mirror, she started detangling her hair . Half a minute later, she suddenly said, “Zhao Meng told me about yesterday, thank you . “

Lin Jinnian continued to watch the television, his face calm . He only murmured a slight “mhm” .

“And regarding Lin Shiyi and producer Sun, thank you . “

Lu Jinnian seemed surprised that Qiao Anhao had found out about that, his hands trembling slightly before he turned the remote control, nodding slightly .

After she had finishing combing out her hair, she hesitated slightly before adding, “Actually, there isn’t a need for Producer Sun to remove his investment, I’ll just avoid him in the future . If ‘Alluring Times’ doesn’t do well, your money would be wasted . “

Lu Jinnian’s stopped playing with the remote control, but his eyes were still fixed on the television . He stared ahead for a while before turning to look at her . “I’ve already settled that issue . “

“Oh,” Qiao Anhao replied softly and stoop up to take one last look at Lu Jinnian . Turning, she climbed into the bed .

Lu Jinnian seemed to have heard her . He turned to look at the bed . Qiao Anhao was already lying there, but this time she didn’t have her favourite large teddy bear with her . He paused slightly, seemingly surprised, before turning back to switch off the lights and lower down the volume .

The world seemed to have quietened instantly . Qiao Anhao shut her eyes under the blankets, her mind starting to run wild . After a long while, she felt Lu Jinnian’s side of the bed sink when he laid down beside her . Just like before, the two of them lay on the edges of the bed, far away from each other . Now that the bear wasn’t between them, the bed seemed too big and empty .

As the night deepened, Qiao Anhao could clearly hear the tempo of Lu Jinnian’s breathing . His familiar scent reached her, flooding her senses .

She remained motionless, anticipating his next actions .
