Chapter 63
When the papers fell down, a gush of wind swept across Qiao Anhao’s face . Her long lashes trembled slightly and she opened her eyes . Lu Jinnian was pointing at a box at the bottom right of one the paper’s with his long fingers . In a cold voice, he commanded “Sign here” and left for the changing room .
Once the changing room’s door closed, Qiao Anhao sat up and picked up the stack of papers . After just a glance, her brows furrowed .
It was a cosmetics endorsement contract .
And it was one of the top luxury brands that only took foreign models who were globally acclaimed .
Lu Jinnian wanted her to sign the papers . . . Did that mean he was giving her this endorsement?
It was so unreal that Qiao Anhao felt as though it was a dream .
Lu Jinnian came out of the changing room in a fresh set of clothes . Holding onto a tie, he stood in font of a full length mirror . Through the mirror, his deep yet distant gaze swept accross Qiao Anhao . In an emotionless tone he asked, “Have you signed it?”
Qiao Anhao snapped out of her daze, shaking her head . After much struggle, she lifted her head to look at Lu Jinnian, her eyes filled with disbelief and doubt .
“Are you giving me this endorsement?”
Lu Jinnian replied with an non-committal “yea” .
He was really giving it to her . . . Happiness started spreading through her heart, but it was soon overshadowed by doubt .
Why would he give her an endorsement deal out of nowhere?
Lu Jinnian knotted his tie skilfully before turning to face Qiao Anhao . With an indifferent expression, he glanced at the contract she held, noticing the blank box . He frowned and asked with a frosty tone, “Why aren’t you signing? Aren’t you interested in a cosmetic endorsement?”

Hearing Lu Jinnian’s voice, Qiao Anhao once again snapped back to the present from her running thoughts and reached for a pen . But before she signed the papers, she couldn’t help wanting to clear her suspicion .
“Why are you giving me this endorsement?”
“You deserve it,” Lu Jinnian replied again without any warmth .
She deserved it? Qiao Anhao couldn’t understand his words .
Lu Jinnian stared at her confusion . Silence fell on the room until he threw out another five cold words, “Your reward for yesterday night . “
Reward for yesterday night . . . so it was a reward for using her body yet again .
Qiao Anhao froze for about five seconds before comprehending Lu Jinnian’s meaning . She tightened her clasp on the pen she held, the tiny bit of happiness she felt vanishing in an instance .
