Han Ruchu gestured for Qiao Anhao to take a seat while instructing the housekeeper to prepare tea. She had no intention of inviting Lu Jinnian to take a seat. She turned her head and smiled warmly at Qiao Anhao, asking out of concern, "Qiao Qiao, how have you been recently? Are you tired from filming? "
"Nope." Qiao Anhao curved her lips, thanking her politely.
"That's good. If you're tired, you don't have to film anymore. If you don't want to work in the Qiao family, I can arrange for you to work in the Xu family..." Before Han Ruchu could finish her sentence, the housekeeper brought over a tray with three steaming cups of tea.
The housekeeper first placed one cup in front of Han Ruchu, then another in front of Qiao Anhao. The last cup was placed on the table, but she didn't ask Lu Jinnian to drink it, as though it was just for show.
Qiao Anhao thanked the housekeeper softly, then continued Han Ruchu's words, "I just like to film, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Since you like it, then do as you please." Han Ruchu curved her red lips into a smile, raising the cup on the table.
Qiao Anhao smiled warmly, and from the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Jinnian standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. His aura was faint, his eyes staring out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qiao Anhao furrowed her brows slightly. Only then did she remember that ever since they entered the house, Han Ruchu had only been circling around her. She hadn't even bothered to acknowledge Lu Jinnian. Even the servants in the house hadn't even invited him to sit down.
At this moment, there were no outsiders in the house, so everyone knew that Lu Jinnian was pretending. Qiao Anhao didn't put on an act, but directly called his name. "Lu Jinnian?"
Lu Jinnian, who was staring out the window, heard her voice. He didn't turn, but slightly tilted his head. His gaze fell on Qiao Anhao, and he didn't say a word, but his eyes revealed a hint of suspicion.
Qiao Anhao waved at Lu Jinnian, then patted the empty seat beside her, and said in a clear and gentle voice, "What are you standing there for? Come and sit? "
When Han Ruchu heard Qiao Anhao's words, her expression froze for a moment. A hint of disgust and disgust flashed across her eyes, but it was only for a moment. With a smile on her face, she leisurely took a sip of tea.
Even though Han Ruchu's expression had only lasted for the blink of an eye, Lu Jinnian still saw it clearly.
It was the same look he had seen on Han Ruchu's face when he was young, the first time he met her. It was a look of hatred and disdain.
It had been so many years, and it had never changed.
Lu Jinnian's expression didn't change in the slightest, as though he was already used to it. He calmly shifted his gaze away from Han Ruchu's face and stared into her pitch-black eyes. He gently blinked and said in a low voice, "No need."
Without waiting for Qiao Anhao to say anything, he turned to look out the window.
When Han Ruchu heard Lu Jinnian's words, the corners of her lips curved into a cold smile. She continued to take two more sips of tea, then turned her head and continued to chat with Qiao Anhao with a smile.
Out of politeness and respect, Qiao Anhao continued to chat with Han Ruchu, but from the corner of her eyes, she would occasionally glance at Lu Jinnian.
He had been very quiet, so quiet that if she hadn't taken a look, she wouldn't have noticed that there was someone standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
