Chapter 512

Xu Jiamu suddenly paused . He lifted his head to look into the mirror before turning to face Qiao Anhao . "Qiao Qiao, do you think i look good with the scar?"

Yesterday, when he came out of the washroom, he had bumped into Song Xiangsi . At that time, he was tending to his wound, so when he caught sight of her, he turned, facing her with the unscarred side of his face . He thought that she would brush past him, acting as a stranger, but she suddenly stopped, before walking in front of him .

Lifting her hands, she straightened his face to study the side that was bruised before chuckling . "Pssh! Hahaha! You look so much better like that!" Releasing his face, she entered the washroom .

Qiao Anhao replied simply, "No . "

"Not good?" Xu Jiamu asked persistently before staring into the mirror once more . "I think I look good though . . . "

" . . . " Qiao Anhao lifted her eyes, ignoring Xu Jiamu, before adding shortly after, "Brother Jiamu, thank you . "

Xu Jiamu, who was still examining his scar, suddenly turned serious . "Qiao Qiao, whatever I said just now was just a joke, I never took it to heart . . . "

"I know . " Curling her lips into a smile, she continued, "But still, thank you . "

Xu Jiamu was still busy, so he dropped her off at Mian Xiu Garden's entrance, not following her in .

Qiao Anhao started to pack the moment she reached his house .

Even though she hadn't stayed for long, she had many things, a large chunk bought when she went traveling with Lu Jinnian .

When she first came to Xu Jiamu's mansion, she had only brought one luggage, so there wasn't enough room for her newly bought things . In the end, she gave up, heading to the supermarket nearby to get a new suitcase .

Since Qiao Anhao didn't need company, Lu Jinnian headed to his office the next day .

After being away for so long, there was an accumulated stack of documents for him, even if he had been working every night . Lu Jinnian spent the entire afternoon buried in documents . After having lunch, he barely had time to rest before having to meet a client to sign a contract . Directly after, he had another meeting .

By the time he returned to his office, it was already 6 pm . He sat in his chair, finally able to calm down after the frantic day . Reaching for his phone out of habit, he scrolled through the long list of notifications, realizing that there weren't any news from Qiao Anhao .

After visiting the Xu family she didn't say anything?

Just when he was about to send her a text, an incoming call came in .

Qiao Anhao was calling .

Without hesitation, Lu Jinnian received the call . "Hello . "

Before the call could even ring, Lu Jinnian had already picked up . There was a moment of silence before Qiao Anhao asked, "Are you done with your work?"

Without even glancing at the documents that had piled into a mini hill on his desk, Lu Jinnian replied, "I'm done . "
