Qiao Anhao snapped back to her senses and shook her head. She smiled softly at the camera and said in a soft and innocent voice, "No."
Then, she changed the topic. "Are you done with work?"
"Yeah... I had a twelve hour meeting and just returned to the hotel. I still have a meeting at three in the afternoon." Qiao Anhao's question was exchanged for a detailed report from Lu Jinnian.
He had been running around for so long and he still hadn't rested... He still had a meeting at three in the afternoon... Qiao Anhao let out an "Ah" before saying with a pained expression, "Then why aren't you resting?"
"Wait a while more." Lu Jinnian's tone was gentle. After replying to her question, he looked at the empty street behind her and asked worriedly, "Are you in a bad mood? Why are you alone on the street? "
"No." Qiao Anhao shook her head again before shifting the phone down to record her gown. "I just came out from a meeting."
Qiao Anhao wore a low-cut gown with a winter coat over it. When she was filming the gown, Lu Jinnian happened to be able to see half of her fair chest from the screen. He instantly turned his head away, his voice slightly hoarse. "It's so cold, you'll get sick. Hurry, get in the car, let's go home."
"Wait a while more..."
Lu Jinnian turned slightly to see that Qiao Anhao's phone was still facing his chest. His throat tightened, and with a lot of effort, he squeezed out, "Be good."
Why did it sound like he was coaxing a child... She wasn't a child...
Qiao Anhao pouted, but deep down, she realized that she was enjoying his tone. She originally wanted to stay for a while longer, but now, she couldn't control herself and obediently got into the car.
Because he was driving, they couldn't have a video call. Even though Beijing was safe, he was still worried that something might happen to her, so he cut the video call and switched to a normal call.
Lu Jinnian was afraid that his words would affect Qiao Anhao's concentration while driving, so he remained silent.
In America, he could hear the sound of her car passing by. Through her Bluetooth earphones, she could hear the sound of his TV. On the way home, even though they didn't talk, they felt at ease.
She parked the car in the courtyard of Mian Xiu Garden, unplugged the Bluetooth earpiece, and hung up the phone. She gave him a video call, and when he picked up, she said, "I'm home."
"Yes." Lu Jinnian replied. Qiao Anhao heard some rustling sounds coming from the phone. Then, she saw that the sound from the television had been muted. His calm voice came through the phone. "There's milk in the fridge, remember to heat up a cup to drink. It'll help you sleep better at night."
When Lu Jinnian was at home, this was what he did. Even when he was out on a business trip, he would still hang it up.
Qiao Anhao replied with an "Mmh". She changed her shoes at the entrance and walked into the kitchen. While waiting for the milk to heat up, she saw that Lu Jinnian was staring at the silent TV channel. She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Lu Jinnian turned his head, glancing at her. "Wait a little longer, I'm not sleepy yet."
