Chapter 608

Lu Jinnian, after asking, felt as though he was caring too much, so before Qiao Anhao could reply, he added, "You're not needed here, you can go . "

Qiao Anhao paled, hurt by his words .

The nanny anxiously helped out . "Mr . Lu, Miss Qiao is here to visit granny . On the night before New Year's, granny got lost while trying to find you, it was Miss Qiao who brought her back . . . "

Lu Jinnian didn't seem interested in what she was saying . When she finished her sentence, he stated authoritatively, "Send her out . "

It was clear that he didn't want her here, it was as though another second with her was a torture to him . Qiao Anhao lowered her lashes in embarrassment, her hands gripping onto her skirt helplessly .

"Mr . Lu . . . " The nanny wanted to persuade Lu Jinnian, but he was clearly not interested, walking toward the bedroom with large steps .

When he was about to pass Qiao Anhao, she called his name, "Lu Jinnian . "

He hesitated slightly but didn't stop, brushing past her and entering the bedroom . Before he shut the door, he glanced at the nanny . "Stop dreaming, send Miss Qiao out . "

Miss Qiao . . . This was the first time she hated these two words .

She turned her head to look at him instinctively, but without giving her another glance, he shut the door .

The atmosphere in the room turned awkward .

The nanny smiled in embarrassment before attempting to comfort her . "Miss Qiao, don't take it personally, Mr . Lu always had a bad temper . "

Qiao Anhao lowered her lashes, replying softly, "I'm fine . " Afraid to implicate the nanny anymore, she smiled . "I'll go now . "

The nanny sent her all the way to the door, repeatedly apologizing on the way out .

After sending Qiao Anhao to the elevator, she returned to pack the things that Lu Jinnian had bought . Heading to the kitchen, she poured a cup of water, then headed to the bedroom and knocked on the door .

The old granny was already asleep, so Lu Jinnian sat by the bed, staring out the window in deep thought .

The nanny came forward to pass him the water . Softly, without disturbing the granny, she whispered, "Mr . Lu, have some water . "

Lu Jinnian reached for the cup and thanked her faintly .

After he took the cup, she added softly, "I have sent Miss Qiao out . "

Lu Jinnian paused slightly, his face impassive as he forced the water down his throat . Gracefully, he removed the cup from his lips and passed it over to her . He then nodded, acknowledging her words .

The nanny grabbed the cup and left the room .

Lu Jinnian sat in a daze for a while, before pulling the window open . Walking into the balcony, he lit up a cigarette .

The smoke surrounded him, and he stood there with a dazed expression .
