Chapter 629

At that moment, Lu Jinnian bent down to reach for a bottle of orange juice and turned to get his change .

Qiao Anhao hurriedly stuffed the box back into her pocket . She held onto the empty cup, concealing the pill inside .

When he came back with her drink, he first unscrewed the bottle before passing it over to her .

She reached for the bottle and poured some into the cup with the pill, heaving a sigh of relief . Reaching for another empty cup, she poured the orange juice in .

Qiao Anhao placed the remaining juice on the table before passing the cup with the pill over to Lu Jinnian . Looking up at him, she fluttered her long lashes and said in a sweet tone, "Here's yours . "

Lu Jinnian usually opted for coffee, tea, or just plain water . He never touched sweet drinks . Glancing at the juice, he shook his head in rejection . "I don't want it . "

In hesitation, he added another sentence to sound less harsh . "You can have it . "

Inwardly, he laughed bitterly . Even after she had caused him so much hurt, he still felt an urge to cheer her up when she felt down .

Qiao Anhao held the cup in the same position wordlessly, staring at him with the same clear, harmless eyes .

Lu Jinnian couldn't handle the gaze any longer . He reached over and took the drink from her hands .

Qiao Anhao smiled, her eyes curving into crescents . Reaching for her own drink, she touched her cup to his before downing the whole juice in one go .

Lu Jinnian stared at her smile, mesmerized . Placing the cup back down, Qiao Anhao realized that he hadn't moved, so she asked him about it . At that moment, he lowered his lashes and took a sip .

It was sweet, sickeningly so, and a little sour . It wasn't a taste that he enjoyed, but just when he was about to place the cup down, he noticed her gaze . After just a moment of hesitation, he downed the entire cup .

Qiao Anhao stared at him till he finished the entire cup, only then did she pick up her chopsticks to resume eating . Deep down, she was starting to get anxious .

Zhao Meng told her that the pill would take effect in half an hour… This meant that she had to return to the hotel soon . . .

Qiao Anhao hurriedly finished the entire bowl of rice . Turning to look at Lu Jinnian who was staring out the window, she said, "I'm done . "

Lu Jinnian averted his gaze . He wordlessly reached for his wallet and headed to the cashier .

Once they left the restaurant, Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian entered a cab and returned to the hotel .

As they entered the elevator going to the top floor, Lu Jinnian's face started to redden, and his breath started to get uneven . His gaze started to get fiery, as though suppressing an overwhelming inner desire .

When the elevator finally reached the top floor, Lu Jinnian took large steps forward, as though trying to get rid of Qiao Anhao .

Qiao Anhao could sense his abnormality . Without allowing him any opportunity, she ran after him . Just when he was about to open his room's door, she dashed forward into his embrace .
