Chapter 509
Qiao Anhao headed to the room . She pushed the door open, but before she entered, she heard Lu Jinnian's voice .
"What do you mean the things we heard in Hong Kong might not be true? I just saw him eating with another woman . . . "
Qiao Anhao paused, taking in Lu Jinnian's frustrated voice .
"Didn't I tell you? I won't be going to the company these few days, if there's anything, send it to my email, I will settle it tonight . "
"Meeting tomorrow? I'm not free, I won't be able to make it . . . . The other party insists I make it? Then forget about the deal . . . . Payment for breaching the contract? Whatever . "
Previously, Qiao Anhao had asked him why he was back from Hong Kong a day early when there was a meeting the next day . He had assured her that the matter was assigned to someone else and that Beijing office had something important so he came back .
But from the conversation, she could tell that he probably heard about Xu Jiamu's affair which provoked him in rushing back .
That night, he was drenched from the rain . When she had opened the door, he just stood and stared silently . At that time, she had sensed his abnormality, had even asked why he was so anxious, but he didn't explain himself . Now she knew, she knew everything .
The very next day, he said that he was on leave and asked if she wanted to have a vacation . At that time, she had agreed happily, naively believing that she was accompanying him for his vacation, but now she knew that it was never a vacation, he just wanted to clear her mind, knowing that she was about to be abandoned .
It explained everything . When they were in Hainan, they stayed in a double room apartment . When she walked to the restroom in the middle of the night, she saw that his room's lights were still on and the doors weren't tightly shut . Inside, she could hear someone typing .

When she returned from the restroom, she could even hear him talking to someone on the phone in a low voice . At that time, she was too tired to bother, heading back to her room in a daze to sleep, but he, he was actually rushing his work . . .
How many things had he done for her that she never knew about?
Her heart clenched .
"That's it, I understand . I'll hang up now . "
When Qiao Anhao heard the last sentence, she hurriedly released the door handle, walking down the corridor . Raising her head, she took a deep breath before turning around . Just then, Lu Jinnian anxiously exited the room with the phone in his hand .
"Lu Jinnian?" Qiao Anhao shouted with a faint hint of tremble in her voice .
When he heard her voice, he heaved a sigh of relief and swiftly strode toward her . "Where did you go? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the room?"
"I went to the restroom," Qiao Anhao replied with a faint smile . "Have you paid?"
"Yea . "
"Why did you take so long?"
"The queue was a little long and the machine malfunctioned . "
"Oh . " Even though Qiao Anhao was clear about what had happened, she acted clueless, not exposing his lie . With a warm smile on her face, she asked, "Can we go now?"
