Qiao Anhao pulled out a wet towel from her bag and took out her phone. Using it as a mirror, she wiped away the tears on her face. Just as she was about to put her phone back into her bag, a call came in...
Lu Jinnian fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, the sun was unusually bright outside the window. He raised his hand to block the sunlight. Turning his head, he saw that half the bed beside him was empty.
Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows, but didn't pay much attention to it. He assumed that Qiao Anhao had woken up downstairs, so he pulled off the covers and entered the bathroom. After a quick shower, he casually found a set of clean clothes to wear. When he walked out of the changing room, he habitually patted his pants pockets, realizing that they were empty. He then remembered that his wallet was still in the clothes he had taken off yesterday, so he bent down and picked up his pants from the dirty clothes bin. He felt around for his wallet, but just as he took two steps out of the door, he suddenly remembered that he had shoved the follow-up report in. He stepped into the bathroom and pulled out the paper from his wallet. He tore it into pieces and threw it into the toilet. After flushing it clean, he felt at ease and went downstairs.
Madam Chen had already prepared breakfast. When she saw Lu Jinnian come down, she greeted him happily, "Good morning, Mr. Lu."
"Morning." Lu Jinnian replied lazily, then stepped into the dining room. When he saw that there was no one inside, he asked, "Where's Madam?"
Madam Chen looked at Lu Jinnian oddly. "Isn't Madam still asleep?"
Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows. "When I came down, Madam was already up."
Madam Chen let out an "Ah", then looked around the entire villa. In the end, she couldn't find Qiao Anhao, so she ran to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the garden. Before she could say "Madam doesn't seem to be home", Lu Jinnian had already pulled out his phone and called Qiao Anhao.
Qiao Anhao looked at the caller ID, her emotions fluctuating. After a while, she picked up the phone. Before she could say anything, Lu Jinnian asked, "Qiao Qiao, where did you go?"
Qiao Anhao lowered her eyes and lied, her voice no different from before. "I came to see Brother Jiamu."
When Lu Jinnian heard this, he forcefully pursed his lips. After a while, he asked, "How is Jiamu?"
"Much better." Qiao Anhao thought back to what Han Ruchu had said to her, and added, "In another week, Brother Jiamu can be discharged."
Lu Jinnian didn't linger on the topic for too long. With a soft "En", he naturally changed the topic. "Are you coming home later?"
"No, I asked Zhao Meng to take me back to the set."
"Okay." Lu Jinnian added, "Then be careful."
"Got it." As usual, Qiao Anhao obediently responded to his concern. Her voice was soft, and it made his heart soften. "Then I'll hang up now. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Just as he was about to hang up, Qiao Anhao's voice came through again. "Lu Jinnian..."
Lu Jinnian didn't say anything, but placed the phone by his ear again. On the other end of the phone, Qiao Anhao was silent for a few seconds before saying, "There's a new Hollywood movie on Friday, let's go watch it together?"
