Chapter 697

Qiao Anhao removed the heated milk and placed a straw into the cup . After taking a sip, she blurted, "Are you getting insomnia from missing me too much?"

The moment the question left her mouth, she realized how shameless she was . . .

Qiao Anhao lowered her head, not able to face Lu Jinnian through the screen . Her eyes rotated nervously before finally lifting slowly to sneak a peek . Lu Jinnian’s dashing face was staring at her through the screen .

Qiao Anhao could feel her heart race and her face flush, and she couldn't help lowering her head once more to gulp down more milk . Before she could swallow the milk, she heard his reply . "Yea . "

She couldn't understand his single word . "Uh?"

Lu Jinnian glanced at her adorable and confused expression, his lips curling upwards slightly . He slouched back on his pillow lazily and added, "I said, yea, I miss you . "

After being married for so many days, he hadn't said anything sweet to her .

This was the first time .

Qiao Anhao's heart tightened, warmth engulfing her as she bit down the straw . After a while, she replied with a soft "Oh" to acknowledge his words .

Lu Jinnian remained silent as he continued to stare at her, his long lashes seemingly motionless .

Qiao Anhao lowered her lids, not looking at him . They were surrounded by silence . After taking a gulp, she released the straw she was chewing . "I miss you too . "

After her confession, her heart raced instantly .

After loving him for such a long time, even after causing a scene in America when she confessed, she had never said anything so seriously before .

This was the first time .

Time seemed to stop as the world froze around them .

In the end, it was Lu Jinnian who changed the topic . He lifted his finger, waving it in front of the camera . "Look, it's bruised . "

Qiao Anhao glanced up to look at the finger he was waving—there were several tooth imprints on it and it had turned a deep shade of purple .

Yesterday at daybreak when she had dug for the marriage certificate, she had bit him . . . At that time, she was upset and afraid . . . and had bit down with all her strength, but she didn't know it was that bad . . .

Qiao Anhao pouted in embarrassment .

Lu Jinnian shifted on the bed to find a more comfortable position before he continued warmly, "During the meeting, everyone saw it, they even asked how I got it . "

"Ah?" Qiao Anhao’s eyes went wide . "What did you say? Did you say it was me?"

"No," Lu Jinnian assured her, and Qiao Anhao heaved a sigh, but just then, he continued, "I told them the puppy at home had gone crazy yesterday and bit me . They even advised me to get a rabies vaccine . "

Qiao Anhao burst out laughing, but then her face darkened . "Lu Jinnian, did you just call me a puppy?"

Amusement tainted his face . "I guess you aren't that dumb . "

Qiao Anhao growled . "Lu Jinnian, are you calling me a dumb puppy?"
