Her manager had forsaken her for a new artist ,and now, she relegated to selling herself to satisfy her material needs . All these was because of Qiao Anhao .

Lu Jinnian got his assistant to leave before he personally drove Qiao Anhao to dinner .
In the meeting, he seemed to have been paying attention to everyone's critique, but his mind had been actually wandering off .

"Peppermint Garden" was an open air restaurant in a vintage looking garden .
Lu Jinnian had booked the table beside the pond below the vines . The view was scenic and the company was one he was fond of, bringing a cheery spirit to the both of them .
Qiao Anhao had been to "Peppermint Garden" several times and had a preference for some dishes . Hence, when Lu Jinnian was ordering, she picked an additional two dishes that she preferred .
Lu Jinnian ended his meeting at 6 . 30 and they reached the restaurant at 8 pm, so Qiao Anhao was already starving . The dishes were served quickly, and the moment they were served, she held up her chopsticks .
Before Lu Jinnian could pick up his chopsticks, his phone rang . It was regarding business matters, so Qiao Anhao ate quietly, not disrupting him .
Lu Jinnian had ordered a set of sweet vinegar prawns, and Qiao Anhao really liked the sweet and strong taste, so initially, she ate with her chopsticks, but in the end, she placed them down to use her fingers . The sauce stained her entire hand, causing her to feel uncomfortable, so she decided to finish the whole lot . When there were only about seven prawns left, she realized that Lu Jinnian hadn't eaten .
