After a loud "Pa!", the office fell into a long silence. The assistant stood to one side, not daring to make a sound.
Lu Jinnian's chest heaved up and down. He walked around the office desk, pulled open the drawer, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Just as he was about to smoke one, he suddenly threw it into the trash can and strode over to the floor-to-ceiling window. With his back facing the assistant, he stared out the window without moving an inch.
After some time, the hostility on Lu Jinnian's body dissipated by quite a bit. He turned his head and said to his assistant, "A while ago, I asked you to investigate the situation of all the shareholders in Xu Enterprise. How's the investigation going?"
The assistant replied, "It's more or less cleared up."
Lu Jinnian nodded, not saying a word.
The assistant asked again, "Mr. Lu, have you really thought it through and decided to do this?"
Lu Jinnian still didn't say a word. He turned his head again and looked out the window.
After a long while, Lu Jinnian replied with an "Mmh". His voice was as calm as usual, without a hint of emotion. "Just do as I told you in the beginning."
The assistant didn't have any intention of persuading Lu Jinnian. "Yes, I will prepare everything."
Lu Jinnian didn't say a word. The assistant picked up the documents on the table and was about to leave silently, but after taking two steps, he stopped and asked anxiously, "Mr. Lu, are you really going to separate from Miss Qiao just like that?"
Lu Jinnian remained silent, and a layer of sadness appeared on his back where the hostility had faded.
The assistant raised his hand and rubbed his nose. "I feel that Miss Qiao and Mr. Lu have been getting along pretty well recently. Even if Miss Qiao used to like Mr. Xu in the past, who knows if she likes you now. I see that Miss Qiao clearly cares for you a lot. So I feel that Mr. Lu, you can actually try to ask Miss Qiao what she thinks. What if she doesn't want to be with you anymore? When the time comes and you suddenly break up with Miss Qiao, wouldn't that be a wasted opportunity? "
The assistant said so much, but when he saw that Lu Jinnian didn't react, he raised his hand to rub his nose. "Erm, Mr. Lu, forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Lu Jinnian didn't move. Behind him, he heard his assistant's footsteps leaving and the sound of the office door closing. He stared out the window at the dirty sky with a calm expression, but in his mind, his assistant's words were playing over and over again.
Qiao Anhao placed the empty bowl on the table beside her. She picked up a wet wipe and wiped the corners of Xu Jiamu's lips. Then, she lifted her eyelids to look at Xu Jiamu and asked, "How exactly did you get into a car accident? You weren't even drinking, how did you get hit so badly?"
There was a flash of anger in Xu Jiamu's eyes, then he chuckled lightly and said half-heartedly, "I didn't react in time, so the accident happened. But aren't I fine now?"
"Fortunately, you're fine." Qiao Anhao grumbled in a low voice, her expression turning serious. After a moment of silence, she said, "Brother Jiamu, did you already know that we were engaged?"
Xu Jiamu let out an "En" sound, but didn't say anything.
The bedroom was silent for a long time, then Qiao Anhao said, "Sorry, Brother Jiamu, I can't marry you."
