Chapter 323

Madam Chen stood at the foot of the stairs, looking at Lu Jinnian in confusion, standing in a daze .

Lu Jinnian was walking past the bathroom door when he saw Qiao Anhao on the sofa . He froze, his gaze observing the entire bedroom .

The television on the wall was currently showing an advertisement .

The window wasn’t closed and cold wind kept blowing in, sending the curtains flying .

Qiao Anhao was fast asleep on the sofa with a white blanket covering her .

The entire bedroom was the same as usual, there was nothing different . The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful .

Lu Jinnian’s uneasiness finally settled, he took a long deep breath before walking to the sofa softly . Once he reached it, he bent down to remove the remote control from Qiao Anhao’s hands, switching off the television . Turning back to face her, he stared for a while before reaching out to caress her long hair that fell across her face . His slender fingers touched her soft, silky skin . It was smooth, and he knew it was real, which calmed his anxious heart .

His anxiety was due to her treating him so coldly for the past few days, or maybe it was because of Xu Jiamu . He was confused, his heart was in a mess, causing him to feel that way .

Just then, he realized that somehow his entire back was soaked in cold sweat, and his heart relishing in the comfort of her presence . He couldn’t help breaking into a smile as he gazed at her, longing in his eyes .

Perhaps she was the only one in this world that was able to send his mind and heart into a frenzy .

Lu Jinnian’s fingers slowly rubbed against her cheeks . He lowered his head and kissed her forehead before carrying her towards the bed, tucking her in .

After sweating so much, Lu Jinnian felt sticky and uncomfortable . He casually tossed his jacket onto the sofa and loosened his tie . After taking few steps to the bathroom, he paused, frowning slightly . He looked towards the sofa that Qiao Anhao had been lying on . That’s when he realized that there was a hint of red on the white blanket that she had used to cover herself .

Lu Jinnian frowned, retreating back to the sofa to grab the blanket . It was clearly a blood stain, and the blanket was slightly warm . The blood was fresh!

And the blanket was on Qiao Anhao . . .

Lu Jinnian’s calmed feelings started to run wild once again . He pulled his tie open, tossing it onto the floor before running to the bed to inspect Qiao Anhao . He turned her around and found a small trace of blood on the bed sheet, there was also a trace of blood on her panties .

Lu Jinnian’s mother had died young, and as a man, he didn’t interact much with women, hence he forgot that women had their period every month . The moment he saw blood, he started feeling anxious, reaching out to tap her face . “Qiao Qiao? Qiao Qiao?”

Qiao Anhao’s eyes remained shut, without any sign of movement .

“Qiao Qiao?” Lu Jinnian shouted once again, shaking her shoulders . When there was still no reaction, he rushed downstairs, shouting, “Madam Chen! Madam Chen!”
