But at night, when Lu Jinnian went to take a shower, Qiao Anhao couldn't help but pick up her phone and open Weibo. What greeted her eyes were pages and pages of scolding words. The news that had been around for a full twelve hours was getting more and more intense. Originally, Lu Jinnian's fans were just begging her to let Lu Jinnian off, but now, [Let Our Adonis Off] was the top trending topic.
She clicked on it and read through the hundreds of thousands of comments, but there wasn't a single one that spoke up for her. Oh, no, there wasn't even a single neutral comment. The entire screen was filled with words like "You're not good enough for our adonis", "You're a pest", "Get out of the entertainment industry", "Hope you get dumped by my husband soon", and so on.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Jinnian asked in his usual calm voice as the bed behind her sunk in.
Qiao Anhao hurriedly locked her phone, turned around, and burrowed into Lu Jinnian's embrace. "Nothing, I was just bored, so I casually browsed Taobao."
Even though Lu Jinnian hadn't personally seen what Qiao Anhao was looking at, he knew that she was lying. His eyes flickered, and he continued to ask, "Did you see anything you wanted to buy?"
"Nope." Qiao Anhao shook her little head that was resting on Lu Jinnian's chest, then slightly raised her head. She looked at his beautiful jawline, and her eyes curved. "I originally thought that I saw something I wanted to buy, but when I started to shop, I remembered that a certain someone had gone crazy and practically moved everything from ACR back home. Now, she doesn't need anything anymore. Sigh, I'm so disappointed."
Qiao Anhao was clearly smiling as she said this, but at the end, she pretended to be distressed, and sighed.
However, Lu Jinnian could still clearly see the helplessness and sadness in the moment she lowered her eyelids. Even though in the next second, she continued to smile brightly.
Lu Jinnian stared at Qiao Anhao's forced smile, and his heart started to ache. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reached out to caress her hair. "Qiao Qiao, if you're unhappy, don't smile."
Qiao Anhao was stunned by his words.
So, he saw through it?
In just a second, the smile on her face bloomed like a flower. "No, why would I be unhappy? Wasn't it just being scolded? Growing up, it's not like I haven't been scolded before. It's just that this time, I'm being scolded by a lot of people. Anyway, it's just scolding. It doesn't hurt or itch. It doesn't affect me at all. Why should I be unhappy … "
The more nonchalant she sounded, the more his heart ached. In the end, he couldn't take it anymore and sat up, pulling her into his embrace, hugging her tightly.
Qiao Anhao suddenly stopped speaking. After a while, she tried her best to sound relaxed, as though she was half-joking, and asked, "Why did you suddenly hug me?"
Lu Jinnian hugged her even tighter, saying in a low voice, "Qiao Qiao, I know you're upset."
The forced smile on Qiao Anhao's face froze.
Then, he said in a low voice, "If you're upset, just say it. You don't have to hold it in in front of me."
