"It's okay." Qiao Anhao rejected him bluntly, but when she saw Lu Jinnian pursing his lips, her heart clenched. A wave of pain spread through her entire body, and she gripped the glass of milk tightly. Lowering her eyes, she fell silent for a moment, then said slowly, "I don't really like bird's nest, Auntie Xu brought it for me when I went to the Xu family a few days ago. I gave some to Zhao Meng and brought the rest back."
As expected, Han Ruchu was the one who brought the bird's nest for Qiao Anhao... When he was downstairs, he had already guessed it, but he just wanted confirmation from her. Besides, she had just said that she didn't have a bad sleep quality...
Suddenly, a bold hypothesis appeared in Lu Jinnian's mind, but he wasn't sure. After all, all these years, his relationship with Han Ruchu had always been like fire and water, so maybe he was just overthinking it.
Lu Jinnian maintained a calm expression, nodding at Qiao Anhao, replying naturally, "So that's how it is..."
"Mmh," Qiao Anhao replied softly, not knowing what else to say.
The room suddenly became silent. Qiao Anhao only cared about drinking the milk. When she was done, Lu Jinnian reached out to take the glass, pulling the pillow behind her back, then said faintly, "Sleep early."
Qiao Anhao didn't say a word, lying down obediently and closing her eyes. She could clearly feel Lu Jinnian standing by the side of the bed, watching her for a while, before turning and walking out of the bedroom.
Lu Jinnian filled the glass with half a glass of water, placing it in the kitchen sink. He pulled out a napkin and wiped his wet hands. He didn't go upstairs, instead, he leaned against the kitchen wall, pulling out his phone to send his assistant a message.
It was just a few simple words: Come to Mian Xiu Garden now.
Not even a minute after sending the message, Lu Jinnian received a reply from his assistant. Without batting an eyelid, he slipped his phone back into his pocket, acting as though nothing had happened, and went back upstairs.
Qiao Anhao laid on the bed, seemingly asleep. Lu Jinnian turned off the lights in the bedroom, leaving only a dim yellow nightlight on. He walked over to the bed and pulled the blanket over her. He even considerately dimmed the nightlight before tiptoeing to the balcony.
The entire time, Qiao Anhao hadn't fallen asleep. The bedroom was extremely quiet, and even though his footsteps and movements were extremely light, she could still feel him approaching and distancing himself. Especially when he pulled the blanket over her, she felt every cell in her body tense up.
After an unknown period of time, when Qiao Anhao had completely fallen asleep, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He fished it out and glanced at the screen. It was a message from his assistant. Instinctively, he glanced out the window to the main entrance, where he could faintly see the lights of a car.
He turned around, walking over to the bed to check on her before leaving the bedroom. He went downstairs to the dining room, grabbed a bottle of salt from the fridge, and slowly walked out of the house.
His assistant was already waiting in the courtyard.
In the dead of the night, the slightest sound could travel far. Lu Jinnian gestured for his assistant to keep quiet, walking out the door. His assistant tactfully followed.
