Chapter 38
Qiao Anhao made small talk with producer Sun and, before they parted ways, he asked for her contact number so that he could liaise with her for suitable productions in the future .
Qiao Anhao didn’t find anything amiss, giving him her contact number .
After exchanging numbers, producer Sun put away his phone, then said, “Xiao Qiao, I have something on later, I’ll head off first . ”
She hurriedly reached out to help producer Sun open the car door . Once he was well seated, she shut the car door . Waving at producer Sun, she bid him farewell sweetly, “Goodbye Mr . Sun . “
Producer Sun waved back and the car left .
She still had her smile even after the car was far off into the distance . Just then, it dawned on her that Zhao Meng was not back yet . She reached for her phone and dialed Zhao Meng’s number while looking around in search for her . But she was nowhere in sight .
Before Qiao Anhao could make the call, she saw Lu Jinnian walking towards her . Unconsciously, she froze and lowered her lashes .
Qiao Anhao thought that Lu Jinnian would ignore her, walking by as usual, but this time, he had stopped directly in front of her .
Her heart beat rapidly . Anxiously, she lifted her head to look at Lu Jinnian .
He remained impassive, his gaze focused on her mobile phone without any emotion .
Qiao Anhao was already immune to Lu Jinnian’s cold manner, but she didn’t understand why he would stare at her phone with such intensity .
Her fingers froze from Lu Jinnian’s frosty gaze . She moved them unnaturally, clenching the phone tighter . Since Lu Jinnian showed no intention of speaking, she tried to shield her embarrassment by changing the topic .
“Err, thank you for helping me out back there . “

Truthfully, the fact that Lu Jinnian would help her out in that kind of situation left her totally and utterly flattered . In that instance, she felt as though her heart had blossomed into a mini garden . She was left in pure happiness . Even though it had been an hour, warmth and sweetness still squeezed her heart whenever she thought of it .
He had actually helped her . . . Did that mean . . deep inside his heart, he didn’t hate her that much?
Lu Jinnian heard Qiao Anhao, and his gaze slowly shifted from her phone to her face .
As the dim street lighting hit her white porcelain skin, her features softened, making her look sweet and gentle .

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive.

Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.
