The office was silent. After some time, Lu Jinnian's phone rang. He pulled it out from his pocket and glanced at the caller ID. He instinctively put out his cigarette before picking up the call.
Qiao Anhao's heart trembled slightly when she heard that the call had been picked up. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before saying, "Lu Jinnian..."
The moment she called Lu Jinnian's name, Qiao Anhao instantly fell silent.
Ever since their relationship had warmed up, she had never called him "Mr. Lu" again. However, she knew that their relationship wasn't so good that she could call him by his name, so every time she spoke, she would deliberately avoid calling him by his name. Perhaps because of Zhao Meng's WeChat messages, her mind was in a mess, and she had actually called him by his name without thinking.
Qiao Anhao's palms started to sweat as she held onto the phone.
Lu Jinnian waited for a long time, but he didn't hear what she was going to say. His brows twitched slightly, and even though his voice was cold and emotionless, there was a layer of gentleness between his stunning eyes. "What's wrong?"
When Qiao Anhao heard his voice, she instinctively wanted to tell him about Han Ruchu's call, but just as the words were about to leave her mouth, she remembered that she wanted to see Lu Jinnian. Her lips quivered, but after a moment of silence, she asked in a gentle voice, "Are you free tonight?"
Lu Jinnian didn't understand what she meant. After a moment, he cleared his throat and asked again, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Anhao raised her finger and scratched on the glass window. Then, as though she had made up her mind, she gathered her courage and said what she wanted to say. "If you have nothing to do tonight, can you come home for a while?"
Thinking about it, they had been married for almost half a year, but this was the first time she had taken the initiative to call him home. In the past, the two of them had always treated each other with respect. Aside from the occasional time they shared a bed, they were no different from strangers.
In that instant, Lu Jinnian really felt like a little wife calling her husband home. It was a little blissful and an indescribable throbbing in his chest. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, not making a sound for a long time.
Qiao Anhao waited for a while, but he didn't reply. She wasn't confident in his reply, and now, she felt more and more uneasy. Even though he didn't reject her, his silence made her cheeks flush red. She bit the corner of her lips and swallowed her saliva before continuing in a soft voice, "I have something to tell you... If you don't have time, then..."
"I'll be home in about half an hour." Before Qiao Anhao could finish her sentence, Lu Jinnian's cold voice was heard.
Qiao Anhao was momentarily stunned. Before she could snap back to her senses, he had already hung up.
Qiao Anhao lowered the phone from her ear, clutching it tightly in her palm. She let out a long sigh, realizing that her heart was beating so fast that it was frightening.
Lu Jinnian had said that he would be back in half an hour, but in reality, in less than twenty minutes, Qiao Anhao heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs.
She walked to the window and glanced down. Lu Jinnian's car was already slowly entering the garage.
