Chapter 140

Qiao Anhao placed the food neatly in front of Lu Jinnian before helping him open a pair of disposable chopsticks . Passing them over, she added, “I don’t know what you like so you can just have a little of each . . . “

Lu Jinnian stared straight at her, seemingly studying her .

Just like that, their gazes collided .

Stunned, Qiao Anhao couldn’t continue her sentence . With widened eyes and her head slightly lifted, she returned Lu Jinnian’s gaze .

He no longer had a complicated and distant look in his eyes, it was replaced by something deeper; his eyes were shinning .

As she stared, her heart rate quickened uncontrollably, her face reddening slightly . Not until she felt her face burn did she come back to her senses, averting her gaze . Nervously, she passed the chopsticks, “Chopsticks . “

Qiao Anhao’s voice jolted Lu Jinnian back to reality . He blinked a few times before arranging a cold and distant expression back into place . Wordlessly, he took the chopsticks . Lowering his eyes, he started to eat casually .

Lu Jinnian ate gracefully, not making any sound .

The entire room was silent .

Qiao Anhao knelt in front of Lu Jinnian for a long while before managing to collect herself from the eye contact . Lifting her eyes slightly, she peaked at the man in front of her .

After sneaking a glance several times, she realized that Lu Jinnian was focused on the food in front of him . Hence, she mustered more courage and started to sneak longer stares at him .

Lu Jinnian was still wearing the same set of clothes he had on for lunch . He had removed his jacket , undid his tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons, exposing his exquisite collar bones . He had his cuffs rolled up, revealing a small section of his strong muscled arm, adding a hint of casualness to his elegance .

He focused on his food, his long lashes fluttering slightly from time to time .

The first time she had seen him, she was mesmerized by his looks . After thirteen years, regardless of how many times she had dreamed of him, she would still get mesmerized and awed by him .

To her, he was the only one is this world whose looks could stand the test of time .

Qiao Anhao stared in a daze . After some time, Lu Jinnian seemed to have noticed and suddenly looked up . Qiao Anhao looked back down in shock, her heart beating rapidly once again .
