As Lu Jinnian thought about it, he abruptly stood up from his seat.
When Lu Jinnian and Qiao Anhao left the crowded banquet, in order to look like a loving newlywed couple, Lu Jinnian held Qiao Anhao's hand the entire way to the sofa in the corner. After they sat down, Lu Jinnian closed his eyes to rest, never letting go of Qiao Anhao's hand. Qiao Anhao stared at Lu Jinnian's face in a daze, completely forgetting that he was still holding her hand. At that moment, Lu Jinnian abruptly stood up, pulling Qiao Anhao's arm up, instantly snapping her out of her reverie.
Qiao Anhao blinked her eyes in confusion. When she saw Lu Jinnian's displeased aura, she stood up from the sofa and instinctively said, "Lu..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw someone walk over. She immediately changed her words. "Brother Jiamu, what's wrong?"
Qiao Anhao didn't finish the word "Lu". The banquet was in a hubbub, so Lu Jinnian only heard the latter part of her sentence.
Brother Jiamu...
Lu Jinnian silently pursed his lips, then abruptly let go of Qiao Anhao's hand. He turned to leave.
Qiao Anhao hurriedly chased after him. "Where are you going?"
Lu Jinnian walked quickly. Qiao Anhao was wearing high heels, so it was a little strenuous for her to catch up. With much difficulty, she reached out to grab his wrist, but he didn't even turn his head as he flung her hand away and entered the restroom.
The restroom door slammed shut in front of Qiao Anhao. She stood there in a daze, her expression a little dazed, but deep down, she knew that Lu Jinnian was in a terrible mood.
Qiao Anhao thought back to everything that had just happened, realizing that she hadn't done anything wrong. She turned her head and looked over at the laughing crowd, as well as Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu, who were standing together with smiles on their faces. They were both children of the Xu family, but even though one was unconscious, he received such blessings, while the other had to suffer all sorts of supercilious looks and disdain. After their mother passed away, no one even remembered her birthday.
Lu Jinnian stood impatiently in the tightly shut bathroom cubicle, lighting up a cigarette.
Over the years, he had developed this habit. When he was in a bad mood, or when he missed that woman very much, he would smoke desperately.
Actually, he didn't like the smell of tobacco. It was a little pungent, but he had been alone all these years. Other than using this to numb his nerves, he really couldn't think of any other way.
There were people coming in and out of the restroom, and the sound of toilet water flowing could be heard from the other cubicles. There were even people standing in front of the men's urinals, chatting while urinating.
Lu Jinnian tried his best to suppress his emotions amidst the chaotic noises and the thick smell of tobacco.
He knew that he was jealous.
He knew that he was Xu Jiamu's substitute, but when he saw Xu Jiamu's reflection in her eyes, he was still agitated.
It turned out that if you really loved someone, jealousy was an innate instinct. The more you loved someone, the more sensitive you would be. It was not something you could control.
