Chapter 7

“What’s most unbelievable is that when Huai Ying Chuan entertainment company was facing bankruptcy issues, he took out all his savings to buy it . Everyone thought that he would go down together with the company, but in just three short years, he actually developed Huai Ying into the biggest entertainment company in the country . Which A lister in the industry isn’t from Huai Ying nowadays?”

“But I heard that he has an aloof personality, doesn’t like interacting with others and likes to do everything by himself . Though in terms of looks, ability, and acting skills, he’s definitely at the top . He’s no doubt worthy of the “Nation’s Husband” title bestowed on him . I wonder who this “Nation’s Husband” will marry in the end…”

“Now that you mention it, he debuted at 18… so he should be 28 now . Reasonably speaking, even if he doesn’t get married, he should at least have a girlfriend, why haven’t there been any gossip?”

“Yes! Girlfriend aside, he doesn’t even have a female that he’s intimate or close with . Such a mystery! Or maybe he doesn’t like girls…”

. . .

Listening to their endless chatter, Zhao Meng couldn’t hold back her curiosity . Lifting her head, she asked Qiao Anhao, who was directly in front of her, stirring her cup of coffee, ” Why is he back in Bei Jing? Isn’t his movie still ongoing?”

Even though their marriage was kept a secret, Qiao Anhao still told Zhao Meng, who was not only her manager but also a long time best friend . Hence, Qiao Anhao immediately understood who she was talking about even though Zhao Meng didn’t specifically mention Lu Jinnian . Her hands stopped momentarily . Looking up and into her friend’s eyes, she shook her head, saying honestly, “I don’t know . “

“You don’t know?!” Zhao Meng looked incredulous . “Miss Qiao Anhao, are you even his wife? He didn’t even call to notify you when he came back from Rome?”

Qiao Anhao continued to shake her head . “He didn’t . “

Just then, Zhao Meng suddenly remembered that when her friend had bumped into Lu Jinnian, he didn’t even bother looking at her . At that time, she had thought that they were trying to cover up their marriage, but now, she realized that it wasn’t the case . Zhao Meng frowned, continuing, ” Are you guys like that in private? How often do you two talk?”

Qiao Anhao looked down, not speaking . She and Lu Jinnian weren’t interacting in private . In the five months they had been married, they spoke three times, the last time being the scolding from three months ago when she climbed into his bed .

Thinking of that, her lips curved upwards slightly . Ignoring Zhao Meng’s first question, she answered the second one, “We haven’t talked in three months . “
