She walked out of the staircase, but she didn't go straight to the lobby. Instead, she turned into the women's restroom and stood in front of the sink. She turned on the tap and washed her face to calm herself down.
Qiao Anhao walked into the lobby, and the first thing she saw was Lu Jinnian standing at the entrance with his back facing the lobby. It was winter, and he was only wearing a thin shirt. However, he didn't seem to feel the cold, and his posture was calm and elegant.
Qiao Anhao forcefully grabbed her collar, took a deep breath, and said, "Lu Jinnian."
When Lu Jinnian heard her voice, he quickly turned his head. Even though such a big thing had happened, he wasn't the least bit nervous or panicked. Instead, his brows were relaxed, and there seemed to be a glimmer of joy in his deep, pitch-black eyes. He said in a relaxed tone, "Why were you gone for so long?"
He was caught red-handed by her in a woman's room. How could he act as if nothing had happened? Or was it fine for him to be seen by her? He didn't care at all?
Lu Jinnian's good mood made Qiao Anhao feel even more uneasy.
It wasn't until Lu Jinnian held her hand that she snapped back to reality. Looking at his profile, she could clearly see that his usually cold and stern face was in high spirits.
Qiao Anhao couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Her heart was in a mess, unable to calm down.
On the way back to Mian Xiu Garden, the two of them didn't talk much. From time to time, Qiao Anhao would sneak a few glances at Lu Jinnian as he drove. After a few times, Lu Jinnian would catch her. Lu Jinnian pretended not to notice, just staring at the road ahead. When he thought about what she had said to Lucy at the Four Seasons Hotel, his lips couldn't help but curve into a smile. Through the rearview mirror, he saw that when Qiao Anhao met his smile, her eyes had dimmed slightly. She clutched her bag pitifully, looking uneasy. This made Lu Jinnian feel even better.
It wasn't that he didn't want to explain it to her, but he really wanted to see her uneasy expression for a while longer.
How should he put it... It made his heart feel warm and sweet, as though he was deeply loved.
The car came to a steady stop in the courtyard of Mian Xiu Garden. He unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to open the car door for her, but she quickly pushed the door open and jumped out before rushing into the house.
Lu Jinnian chuckled lightly, walking casually behind her. Coincidentally, she had just changed her shoes and was about to head upstairs. As he put on his slippers, he called her name, "Qiao Qiao."
Qiao Anhao shuddered when she heard Lu Jinnian's name.
Why was he calling her? Was he going to have a showdown with her? He was caught in the act, but he was still so calm. Did that mean that he actually didn't care about their marriage? Was he going to tell her that he no longer liked her and that he liked that woman from the Four Seasons Hotel?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Without waiting for him to speak, she suddenly turned around and looked at him, interrupting him. "I want to drink water, Lu Jinnian."
Lu Jinnian nodded, immediately pouring a glass of water for her. He called out, "Qiao Qiao."
"Wait, let me drink some water first." Qiao Anhao lifted her head and drank all the water in one gulp.
