Words:641Update:22/06/22 11:50:29
Qiao Anhao left Lu Jinnian's villa in Mount Yi and drove straight back to Mian Xiu Garden. She wasn't famous, nor did she have any work to do, so for the next four days, she stayed in Mian Xiu Garden's villa. In these four days, Lu Jinnian didn't return home even once.
It was late at night. Perhaps it was because she had slept for too long in the afternoon, but Qiao Anhao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She picked up her phone and glanced at the time. It was almost midnight. Qiao Anhao tilted her head and glanced at the empty side of the bed, thinking that he probably wouldn't be back tonight.
If he came home, she would be nervous, but if he didn't, she would feel a faint sense of disappointment.
Qiao Anhao lifted the covers and got out of bed. She casually put on a jacket and walked to the balcony. She stared out the window at the night sky, her expression a little lonely.
In his heart, he had never thought of her as his wife... So in the five months they had been married, she had been alone most of the time.
Qiao Anhao stood there for a while, when her phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Anhao walked back to the bedroom and picked up her phone. She saw a string of unfamiliar numbers on it.
Who would be calling her so late at night?
Qiao Anhao hesitated for a moment before picking up. In a gentle voice, she said, "Hello, may I know who you are?"
The person on the other end of the line didn't answer her, and went straight to the point. "Next week, officially entering the cast of 'Alluring Times' as the second female lead."
Qiao Anhao's grip on the phone tightened. She never imagined that Lu Jinnian would personally call to inform her. Qiao Anhao took a deep breath, and in a calm voice, she said, "I understand, thank you... Lu..." Qiao Anhao almost called out Lu Jinnian's name. She paused for a moment, then corrected herself. "Sir."
Qiao Anhao's words were like a stone sinking into the ocean, there was no reply.
If it wasn't for the buzzing sound coming from the phone, Qiao Anhao would have thought that he had hung up.
After a long time, so long that Qiao Anhao thought that Lu Jinnian had finished informing her, she accidentally pressed the button to hang up the phone. Thinking that he had hung up, she casually threw the phone to the side.
Just as she was contemplating if she should hang up, Lu Jinnian's voice came through the phone without warning. It was calm, cold, and with a hint of mockery. "Miss Qiao traded her body for it, you don't have to thank me. But Miss Qiao's body is quite valuable, to be able to trade it for 'Alluring Times'..."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Jinnian seemed as though he wanted to continue speaking, but he suddenly stopped. After about two seconds of silence, he hung up.
