Chapter 335

Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows, and as though lightning had struck his mind, a series of thoughts flashed through his head . . .

He was clear that Qiao Anhao had been vomiting that morning, but he had simply assumed that she had gastric problems . He had even forced her to visit the hospital, but after she entered the car, she had received a call from Han Ruchu regarding Xu Jiamu . . .

After that day, her vomiting seemed to have subsided, so he assumed that she was getting better and had calmed down a little . . .

On hindsight, Qiao Anhao never seemed to have gastric problems, the nausea was because of the pregnancy and when she had a miscarriage, the nausea stopped as well .

“Mr . Lu?” Madam Chen looked at Lu Jinnian, who stood by the stairs in silence, his gaze focused on the lamp in the living room . He looked to be deep in thought .

When he came back to his senses, there wasn’t much expression on his face . In his usual calm, frosty voice, he replied, “Forget it, heat some milk for Mrs . Lu, she just ate an hour ago, she’s probably still full . ”

“Yes, Mr . Lu . ”

Lu Jinnian nodded .

Madam Chen walked back to the kitchen, and Lu Jinnian’s gaze fell back to the lamp .

When Madam Chen heated some milk and brought it out of the kitchen, she noticed that Lu Jinnian was still standing by the stairs . She was mesmerized for a heartbeat . The dim warm lights from above the stairs scattered across his face, blurring his features .

She froze slightly . “Mr . Lu? Why are you still here?”

“Yea,” he replied faintly before looking towards the milk in her hands . “Give it to me . ”

Madam Chen hurriedly brought the cup over .

Lu Jinnian turned and walked back up to the bedroom where Qiao Anhao was cuddled in, watching television . When she heard the door open, she took a quick look before focusing her attention back on the television .

Lu Jinnian walked to the bed and passed the milk over . “Madam Chen just heated it . ”

Qiao Anhao looked up at him, her gaze staying a while longer, seemingly in a struggle . In the end, she reached out and hugged the cup of milk with both hands, taking small sips as she watched the television .

Lu Jinnian didn’t leave . He stood by the bed, his gaze on Qiao Anhao . Then he suddenly asked, “Have you been sleeping badly?”

“No . . ” Qiao Anhao was confused by his random question, she shook her head and turned to look at him . “Why?”

“Nothing,” he replied faintly before taking two steps back to lean on the vanity table . After a while, he asked again, “I heard that you brought some swallow’s nest back home?”

Qiao Anhao took another sip of milk before nodding .

“You like it? There isn’t much left, I’ll get Madam Chen to buy more tomorrow,” Lu Jinnian said without emotion in his voice .

Lu Jinnian seemed to be trying to talk to her . . . Even though Qiao Anhao had been upset and had made up her mind to ignore him, she could no longer suppress herself after all his kind acts .
