Chapter 493

When Lu Jinnian was about to pass the security gates, he heard his phone ring . His steps paused slightly, but in the end, he ignored it, passing though the gates .

After the security checks, Lu Jinnian stuffed the items he had emptied back into his pockets, deliberately leaving his phone the last . Originally, he hadn't wanted to look, but in the end, he couldn't keep it in and glanced at the screen . Indeed, there was an unread text, Qiao Anhao had sent him a question mark .

Lu Jinnian stared at the screen, his throat tightening . He lowered his lashes, shielding the emotions that flickered past his eyes . Tensing his jaw, he placed the phone back into his pocket .

When they reached the airport, they only had about half an hour before the take off time, so the air stewardess led them towards the VIP path .

When the plane played the safety video, Lu Jinnian was already seated with his seat belt fastened .

While his assistant switched off his phone, he turned to look at Lu Jinnian who remained stationary . He reminded, "Mr . Lu, you need to switch off your phone . "

Silently, Lu Jinnian reached for his phone, but just before he switched it off, he once more saw the text that Qiao Anhao had sent over .

The head air stewardess walked over over with the menu . Smiling politely, she asked, "Hello sirs, would you like any drinks later?"

The assistant replied, "Two cups of coffee, thank you . "

"Sure . " The woman recorded the order, but just then, she saw the light from Lu Jinnian's phone . "Sir, please switch off your phone, thank you . "

Lu Jinnian fingers caressed the phone screen slightly before switching it off decisively .

–

Qiao Anhao curled up on the sofa, watching the television as she waited for Lu Jinnian's phone call .

As time trickled by, she started to feel impatient . She glanced up at the clock—it was about midnight but Lu Jinnian hadn't replied to her yet . Frustrated, she dialed his number, wanting to ask how he was doing .

When the call went through, an automated voice answered her . "I'm sorry, the person you have called has switched off his phone . "

Switched off?

Qiao Anhao frowned, did Lu Jinnian's phone ran out of battery?

She dialed his assistant's number instead .

Both their phones ran out of battery?

What a coincidence . . .

She called the office number, and yet, no one picked up .

Qiao Anhao drummed her cheeks before tossing her phone on the sofa . She stared at the television while her thoughts ran wild .

After a seemingly long time, she fell asleep on the sofa .

But since she was curled up, she wasn't able to sleep well . Halfway through the night, she woke up to look at the time on her phone . It was already 2 am, but there were still no new notifications on her phone; he hadn't called her or replied to her text .

Qiao Anhao stared at the phone screen in a daze, her heart empty . She rose to head to the toilet .

When she was out, as she was washing her hands, she gazed at the beautiful dress that she had deliberately worn for Lu Jinnian . Her mood fell while her fatigue disappeared .
