Qiao Anhao awkwardly pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands dry. She walked out of the bathroom, grabbing her phone and lying on the bed. She stared at the WeChat messages she had shared with Lu Jinnian over the past few days. She read through every word and sentence, and her heart started to ache. For some reason, tears started to form in her eyes.
In the past, when Lu Jinnian treated her so coldly, she wasn't as upset as she was now. Didn't he just stand her up? Was she really that upset?
The more she thought about it, the harder her tears fell.
When he reached the hotel, it was already two in the morning. Lu Jinnian took a shower and laid on the bed. Qiao Anhao's silhouette flashed before his eyes, and he couldn't help but pull out his phone. When he saw the missed call notification, his heart instantly sank.
Lu Jinnian tossed his phone aside and shut his eyes. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned on the spacious hotel bed. In the end, he picked up his phone and stared at the two messages he hadn't replied to. After a while, he reached for the pack of cigarettes beside him and lit one up.
Lu Jinnian's assistant's phone ran out of battery yesterday, so he went straight to sleep when he reached the hotel. The next morning, he was woken up by the hotel service. As he washed up, he switched on his phone. He received a few messages, and when he opened them, he saw that Qiao Anhao had called him.
The assistant hurriedly called Qiao Anhao. After a few rings, the call was picked up. Miss Qiao's familiar and gentle voice came through the phone. "Hello?"
The assistant hurriedly spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, shouting, "Miss Qiao, please wait a moment."
He then gulped down a large mouthful of water to rinse his mouth. Using a towel to wipe the corner of his mouth, he asked politely and seriously, "Miss Qiao, did you call me last night?"
Qiao Anhao had slept late last night, and when she was woken up by the phone in the morning, her head hurt from the lack of sleep. She didn't even look at the caller ID before picking up the call. Now that she heard Lu Jinnian's assistant's voice, she abruptly woke up. She sat up on the bed and grabbed her hair. "Mmh." Then, she heard Lu Jinnian's assistant's respectful voice again. "Miss Qiao, is there anything you need?"
"I called Lu Jinnian yesterday, but his phone was switched off."
"Maybe Mr. Lu was on the plane when you called."
"Plane?" Qiao Anhao asked curiously.
"Yes, there's a collaboration in Hong Kong. Mr. Lu came over last night." The assistant paused for a moment, then asked, "Miss Qiao, didn't you know?"
"He didn't mention it to me."
The assistant could hear the disappointment in her voice, so he hurriedly added, "I guess Mr. Lu didn't have time to tell Miss Qiao. Mr. Lu got off work late last night and rushed to the airport. He didn't get into bed until three in the morning. I think he was too tired and busy."
After a pause, the assistant asked, "Ms. Qiao, are you looking for Mr. Lu now? I'll go to his room to find him, but I don't know if Mr. Lu has woken up yet. "
Qiao Anhao listened to the assistant's report about Lu Jinnian's schedule and the fact that he had slept at three in the morning. The slight annoyance in her heart instantly turned into heartache, and she immediately said, "It's okay, let him rest first."
