Chapter 262

The assistant was stunned . Lu Jinnian stood up . As he put on a jacket, he said in a cold tone, “I’m taking the car . Come directly to the office tomorrow morning . You don’t have to go to Mian Xiu Garden . “

Without waiting for his assistant to react, Lu Jinnian pulled open his office door and left straight away .

–

Perhaps it was because Qiao Anhao had drank a lot of juice, she had to go to the restroom . On her way there, she dug through her bag for tissue . While searching, she realised that she forgot to bring her phone . She hastily turned back . But as she needed to go, she hesitated for a moment, then turned right back into the restroom .

Just two minutes after Qiao Anhao left, the phone on the table started to ring .

Qiao Anxia looked up and saw the three words “Lu Jinnian” appear on the screen . She hesitated for a moment, not picking up the call .

The phone automatically hung up, but after thirty seconds, Lu Jinnian dialled again . Qiao Anxia raised her head and looked at Qiao Anhao’s phone a few times . The fourth time Lu Jinnian called, she finally reached for it and picked it up, “It’s me . “

Hearing Qiao Anxia through the phone, Lu Jinnian creased his brows and didn’t say a word .

Qiao Anxia waited for half a minute before saying, “Qiao Qiao’s in the restroom . If there’s something urgent, I’ll get her to call you back when she gets back . “

“No, it’s fine . ” Lu Jinnian’s voice sounded neutral through the phone . “I’m already at parking block B on the lower floor of the mall . In a bit, come down . “

“Okay . ” Qiao Anxia stopped for a moment, then said, “Goodbye” . With that, she hung up . Just as she was about to put Qiao Anhao’s phone back on the table, she saw two shipping notifications from Taobao pop up on the phone screen .

Qiao Anxia instantly thought about how ecstatic Qiao Anhao looked sitting there just now and couldn’t help her curiosity about what she bought, and so she casually clicked it .

A bunch of cake baking equipment and a bunch of balloons, and candles .

Was this the surprise she wanted to give Xu Jiamu?

Qiao Anxia couldn’t help but chuckle, she then swiped down to Taobao’s chat log . As a result, she saw the name “Lu Jinnian” . Qiao Anxia furrowed her brows and scrolled right to the top and took a serious read at Qiao Anhao and the seller’s conversation . When she saw Qiao Anhao send the seller the phrase, “Lu Jinnian, Happy Birthday”, she finally understood . So it turns out, these things that Qiao Anhao bought weren’t for Xu Jiamu’s birthday, but to celebrate Lu Jinnian’s birthday . . .

Qiao Anxia couldn’t help but glance over at the two gift boxes opposite her . She thought about what Qiao Anhao had said to her about a friend in the crew celebrating their birthday in two days . That friend . . . was it Lu Jinnian?

The hand Qiao Anxia used to clutch Qiao Anhao’s phone couldn’t help but clench harder . With her fingers on the screen, some other apps repeatedly popped up and closed endlessly .

As Qiao Anxia calmed down, she lowered her head and looked at Qiao Anhao’s phone . She realised that her finger was randomly hitting things on the phone . Qiao Anhao’s photo gallery unexpectedly opened .

There weren’t many photos in Qiao Anhao’s photo albums, but one of them caught Qiao Anxia’s full attention .
