Chapter 407

Qiao Anhao lowered her head to look as Lu Jinnian treated her wound with seriousness . She looked away, for her eyes started to sting, tears threatening to form .

Only after he covered her wound with a plaster did he stand up . Qiao Anhao hurriedly took in a couple deep breaths, suppressing her unstable emotions, turning to face Lu Jinnian with a smile . “Lets eat, it’s going to get cold . ”

“Yea,” Lu Jinnian agreed lightly . He raised his hand to ruffle her hair, tossing the cotton wool he had used into the bin before retrieving a wet tissue to clean his hands . Returning back to his seat, he took up the chopsticks .

Before he could take anything, Qiao Anhao beat him to it, picking a water spinach and placing it into his bowl . Lu Jinnian was startled . When he raised his head to look at her, she met his gaze with a bright smile on her face, cheekily teasing him, “It’s the first time I cooked . I don’t even have the courage to try it, as the guinea pig, you should try some . ”

Lu Jinnian’s lips curled into an indulgent smile . Without another word, he placed the spinach into his mouth .

“How is it?” Qiao Anhao asked, anticipation visible in her eyes .

Lu Jinnian swallowed the vegetable before replying seriously, “Not bad . ”

“Really?” Qiao Anhao picked up a piece suspiciously, placing it into her mouth . After chewing twice, her face scrunched up into a wrinkled frown . Using all her will power to stop herself from spitting it out, she swallowed the vegetable, then chucked down a glass of water . “SALTY!”

Lu Jinnian smiled silently . He didn’t coax her like how other men did, he didn’t try to praise her with sugarcoated words . Instead, he continued to eat the dishes she had made silently .

Qiao Anhao’s first meal was not fantastic . It was edible at most, but Lu Jinnian continued to eat it as though it was the finest meal in the world .

Qiao Anhao couldn’t help feeling moved by his silent actions .

He was indeed good to her, but this wasn’t love . . . was it?

When Lu Jinnian was half full, he realized that Qiao Anhao hadn’t touched her chopsticks; she had been staring at him the entire time . His chewing gradually stopped . Without saying a word, he returned her gaze, seeing his reflection in her eyes . This was the first time in his life that he had found himself stunning .

The dinning area was silent, the sunshine from outside spilling in . In that instance, Lu Jinnian suddenly remembered what his assistant had told him the day before, “Even if she had once loved Mr . Xu, that doesn’t mean that she can’t fall for you now . It’s clear that she genuinely cares for your well being . . . ”

Lu Jinnian’s heart started to turn . When he had come back the previous day, he had been debating whether or not to ask her about her feelings .

His hesitation was because he was afraid that if he didn’t hear what he wanted to, they couldn’t even be friends .

Lu Jinnian had struggled for a long time until he finally decided . “Qiao Qiao . . . ”

The exact moment he spoke, she spoke as well . “Lu Jinnian . . . ”
