Chapter 419

Qiao Anhao was abruptly stunned on the spot .

When Lu Jinnian saw who opened the door, his pupils clearly widened . As he finally went back to normal, he stared straight at Qiao Anhao . However, it was like his stare had frozen over, giving off a cold feel .

It had only been half a month without seeing each other, but Qiao Anhao felt like it had been as long as a century . His complexion was still outstanding, but his expression looked even colder than before . Between his brows, the heartlessness and remoteness was as thick as the fog .

“Bro, you’re here?”

Xu Jiamu’s words suddenly woke Qiao Anhao up, and she realized that Lu Jinnian was staring at her chest . She was wearing a strappy nightdress, which completely revealed her delicate collar bone .

Her face grew hot . She lowered her head and quickly opened the door . Then she said to Xu Jiamu in a low voice, “You take care of them, I’ll go up and change . “

As she said this, Qiao Anhao turned, and ran all the way up the stairs .

Lu Jinnian stood at the entrance, without moving an inch until Qiao Anhao disappeared around the corner of the stairs . Then he swept his eyes over to Xu Jiamu’s cardboard boxes . Besides vegetables, fruit, and other ingredients, there were a few boxes of condoms . In that instant, it was like his whole body was struck by an electric shock, and his body shook .

“Bro, why are you just standing there? Come and sit!” After seeing Lu Jinnian standing at the door for so long, Xu Jiamu couldn’t help but remind him .

It was like Lu Jinnian didn’t hear Xu Jiamu’s words, as he stared transfixed at the small colorful square boxes .

Xu Jiamu furrowed his brows and called out, “Bro?”

Lu Jinnian snapped back to reality in a blink . His hands silently balled up into fists . Practically using all the power in his body, he forced himself to calmly stride over to Xu Jiamu’s side . As he walked over to the living room full of familiar faces, he responded to their greetings with an absent-minded nod . Then he found a armchair and sat down .

People in the room were happily chatting away and laughing, but Lu Jinnian sat aside and never said a word . His eyes stared outside the window, as though he was in a daze, until Qiao Anhao came back down after getting changed . His pupils then hovered over her body .

With Lu Jinnian in the living room, Qiao Anhao felt a little uncomfortable . She chit-chatted a little with Qiao Anxia and the others, then went into the kitchen to see if she could help Xu Jiamu .

She came out twice, once carrying a pot of tea, and once carrying a plate of fruit .

She even poured everyone a cup of tea . As she handed Lu Jinnian a cup, he spoke his first words since entering the house, “Thank you . “

Qiao Anhao lowered her eyes, and didn’t even look at him . She just gently twitched the corner of her lips and walked back into the kitchen .

–

Even though Xu Jiamu was a young master who lived a life of luxury, he had learned how to cook a table full of dishes during his university years .

Even though Qiao Anhao was in the kitchen, she couldn’t really do much to help . At best, she helped peel the garlic and wash a plate, all whilst Xu Jiamu repeatedly complained about her being in the way .

In the end, Xu Jiamu couldn’t take it any longer and turned the fire off . He pushed Qiao Anhao by her shoulders towards the kitchen door . He was about to kick her out when Lu Jinnian walked head on into them .
