Chapter 285

Even though those words only numbered to a brief dozen, he only paid attention to two: Qiao Anhao .

Back then, it had been a long time since he hadn’t seen her . People around him didn’t know her, and so those two words endlessly replayed in his mind . Suddenly, when he heard someone say the name that was engraved in his heart, he was startled . After a long while, his brain finally started moving again, but all he thought about over and over again was: “to pretend to be married to Qiao Anhao” .

He clearly knew Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu hated him, but after remaining silent for a long time, he still agreed to do it .

He agreed without making any requests or proposing any conditions .

It wasn’t for anything else, but those two words – Qiao Anhao .

Even if he had to endure any grievances and hate, it was worth it .

As no one knew about it . Back then, he had been so excited . He felt like it was the heavens finally giving him such a wonderful opportunity; a reason to appear by her side again .

“Jiamu!” Qiao Anxia saw Lu Jinnian first . She waved and smiled at him .

Qiao Anhao, who had her back to Lu Jinnian, immediately turned around . She walked closer to Lu Jinnian, before smiling sweetly and calling out, “Brother Jiamu . “

Brother Jiamu . . . the woman’s voice was soft and gentle . Those two words coming from between her teeth, it sounded like there were hints of real emotion there .

It wasn’t like how she called him . She would always sound distant and polite with “Mr . Lu” . But recently, she had made him extraordinary satisfied, for she’d called him by his name twice .

Lu Jinnian pushed down the sour feeling in his heart and stared at Qiao Anhao with a little warmth . He naturally pulled her over and hugged her soft hips .

Even though Lu Jinnian was dressed up as Xu Jiamu, his body odor didn’t change . When Qiao Anhao hugged his waist, her heart raced like crazy when she smelt the light scent of him . There were hints of shyness in her eyes .

The new married couple didn’t hold back with their love for each other, as the two of them acted so sweet and affectionate towards one another .

A person’s appearance could change, but not the voice, and so when Lu Jinnian approached someone both he and Qiao Anhao knew, he would do his best not to talk .

As time passed, everyone believed it was Xu Jiamu’s disfigurement by the car accident, which caused him to change in personality and not talk as much .

And so, Lu Jinnian only pursed his lips and nodded at Qiao Anxia who had just greeted him enthusiastically .

After the car accident, Qiao Anxia was very accepting of the silent “Xu Jiamu”, and so she pointed at Chen Yang next to herself . She introduced him, “Jiamu, this is my boyfriend, Chen Yang . “

Chen Yang kindly pulled out his arm . “Hello . “

As usual, Lu Jinnian didn’t say a word, just shook hands with Chen Yang .

Qiao Anhao was afraid that if they lingered for too long, they’d be caught out by Qiao Anxia, so she immediately found an excuse to leave . “Brother Jiamu and I are going to greet other guests . “

After waiting for Qiao Anxia and Chen Yang to nod, she held onto Lu Jinnian and left .

–

Xu Jiamu’s birthday party started at eight on the dot . Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu were also afraid to be caught out, and so they started the party off by giving their birthday wishes . Han Ruchu went up on the podium and spoke .

Lu Jinnian could only stand on the podium and wait for her to finish speaking . He raised a glass and drank with everyone .
