He knew that there were some things that couldn't be wrapped up in paper, but when he personally witnessed Xu Jiamu's intimate actions with another woman, a sliver of panic rose from the bottom of his heart.
He clearly wasn't the one who cheated, and the one who let Qiao Anhao down wasn't him, but he still panicked.
Because he was more afraid than anyone else. In the depths of that woman's eyes, he could see the devastation and pain.
Lu Jinnian straightened his messy clothes from his fight with Xu Jiamu, and let out a few breaths of frustration. He suppressed his anger, and made himself look as calm as usual. Then, he walked away.
Qiao Anhao couldn't explain why she hid, but when she heard Lu Jinnian's footsteps coming out of the restroom, she instinctively hid.
She was the only one in the luxurious restroom. She leaned against the cold, heavy door, and could hear Lu Jinnian's angry voice. "Wait for about twenty minutes, then release the person inside." Then, his footsteps gradually faded into the distance, until they completely disappeared from her ears. Only then did she raise her head to look at herself in the gold-rimmed mirror. Her heart raced, and her blood boiled. An uncontrollable emotion flooded her like a tidal wave.
Actually, she was puzzled as to why Lu Jinnian would suddenly fall out with Xu Jiamu, but when she came over and heard their conversation, she realized that it was because of her.
"I'm not trying to criticize you, but Xu Jiamu, you really have bad taste. How can that woman compare to Qiao Anhao?!"
"That woman can't even compare to Qiao Anhao's toes. You're blind!"
In her memory, Lu Jinnian was usually cold and arrogant. Even when he was angry, he could maintain his composure and say the most hurtful words in a dignified manner.
But today, he was clearly out of control. When he scolded Xu Jiamu, his voice trembled slightly.
He thought that Xu Jiamu had found a new lover and abandoned her. That was why he was so angry, to the point where he hit his brother, who always seemed cold but cared for her.
Xu Jiamu did it to make it easier for them to break off the engagement, to make him owe her, so that she wouldn't be blamed by the Qiao family after they broke off the engagement.
Lu Jinnian, who didn't know the truth, misunderstood Xu Jiamu and caused such a blunder.
However, even though it was just a mistake, it was still a beautiful one.
Lu Jinnian mistakenly thought that she had been wronged and wanted to help her vent her anger. He locked Xu Jiamu in the bathroom for twenty minutes because he was afraid that she would be upset if she saw him eating with another woman...
He did all of this for her sake.
That man was clearly cold and quiet. He had never said anything to her that moved her, but he had done many, many things that moved her.
How could she not love such a man?
Qiao Anhao's eyes reddened.
After a long while, she finally calmed down. She walked to the sink and washed her face before leaving the bathroom and going upstairs.
When he returned to the room, he didn't see Qiao Anhao. Just as he was about to give her a call, his phone rang. It was from his assistant.
