Chapter 613
Qiao Anhao could feel him pry her hands off, and she started to panic . In her anxiety, she started to blurt out what she wanted to say today . "Lu Jinnian, on the night of Valentines Day…"
She couldn't finish her sentence . The words "Valentines Day" seemed to be a curse, turning Lu Jinnian into a madman . The originally calm man turned aggressive, pressing her against the wall . His hands wrapped around her neck as though he was going to strangle her if she continued .
Qiao Anhao could distinctly feel the anger emitting from him as he tightened his grip on her neck . She started to feel breathless, and her face turned red .
When Lu Jinnian glanced down at her face, his gaze remained murderous, as though he could kill her at any moment . "You want to talk? Or are you here to mock me?"
Lu Jinnian remained silent for a second, and when he spoke again, his voice was much calmer and resolute, without any room for objections . "If you are here tonight to talk about the past, it's not necessary . Whatever happened was in the past and is no longer important to me . "
He loosened his grip on her neck, and after grabbing her wrist, he pulled her to the door without waiting allowing her to react . Opening the door, he violently pushed her out and slammed the door behind her .
Without her presence, Lu Jinnian's tensed body was finally able to relax .
He stood behind the door for a while before heading to the bedroom . He had originally wanted to shower, but now, he reached for the cigarettes in his luggage and lighted a stick .
Dangling the stick in his mouth, he caught sight of the phone that was lying silently in the corner of his luggage .
He stared at the phone for a long while before reaching for it .

The SIM card in the phone had already been thrown away . When he switched it on, it indicated that the battery was low . He stared at the photo of the conversation he had had with Qiao Anhao for a long while before enlarging one .
The first text was between the two of them and it was dated four months ago .
He paused for a long while before reading the words in it .
[Don't wait for me, I won't go . ]
He clearly remembered that the message was sent by her after he had waited three whole day outside the Qiao mansion . When he had received it, he was about to faint from fatigue .
That was after he had taken over Xu Enterprise and had waited the entire night on Valentines day . It was the first thing she had sent to him .
Even today, he could still remember how agitated he had been at that time .
When he read the message, he had found out that she knew that he had been waiting… She just didn't want to see him .
Despair engulfed him, but he didn't want to give up . In order to touch her, he replied, [Qiao Qiao, I love you . ]
[I have loved you for thirteen years . ]
The two texts seemed to have sunk into the sea, for it was only after two hours that he received a reply .
[Are you even worthy?]
[I would never accept you who hurt brother Jiamu . ]
