Chapter 519

[If you can't find anything or don't know anything, you can ask me . ]

–

Lu Jinnian didn't have much work the entire afternoon . When it was finally time for a meeting, he had even fallen into a daze . The night before had seemed like a dream, it was so surreal .

After enduring through the meeting, he returned to his office and reached for his phone to write Qiao Anhao a text . [Are you awake?]

Qiao Anhao was prepared to have the breakfast he bought . There were dough fritters in her hands, so she sent a voice message instead . She replied in a murmur, "I'm awake . "

[What are you doing?]

Qiao Anhao sent him a photo .

Lu Jinnian glanced at the familiar dining area and the breakfast he had bought earlier, his heart finally assured .

He wasn't dreaming, Qiao Anhao and Xu Jiamu had really divorced . She was single and living in his house . . . .

In an instance, mixed emotions clouded his mind . He had never dared to think of entering her heart, but now, he seemed to see the light to his long wait, but he still couldn't help feeling insecure .

She was the woman he had been loving for thirteen years, one he gave up on only when he realized that she was in love with Xu Jiamu . Now, that she no longer had anything to do with his brother, Lu Jinnian finally had the opportunity he had been waiting for . He was prepared to use his entire life to get her .

No one could know how much courage was needed to advance friendship into a relationship as any mistake would send one straight down to the dumps .

It was a gamble, and Lu Jinnian didn't have any confidence at all . Regardless, he was not willing to easily give up on her .

He had been waiting for thirteen years . . . Only after thirteen long years did he finally have this opportunity .

A lifetime was a long time . Even if he couldn't get her in a year, he could try for another one, or even three, or four years . . . Or even the next thirteen years . . .

Before the afternoon meeting, Lu Jinnian sent Qiao Anhao another text to ask what she was doing again .

Halfway through the meeting, she replied with a voice message . He placed the phone to his ear, gathering that she was watching television . He even heard the faint advertisement being played in the background .

He placed his phone back down and asked, [What are you watching?]

Qiao Anhao sent yet another voice message back, but this time, when he placed the phone to his ear, the marketing director had just finished his presentation . He faced Lu Jinnian asking, "Mr . Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Jinnian's lack of response caught the attention of the entire room . Everyone caught sight of him listening to his phone .

Even though he would faze out during meetings sometimes, this was the first time that he had done it so openly . The directors looked around at each other before finally the market research director asked again, "Mr . Lu?"

Lu Jinnian placed his phone down, and just when the directors were prepared to hear his comment, he started typing on his phone .

His assistant, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help coughing to remind him before discretely kicking him under the table .

But he seemed to have used too much strength, which startled Lu Jinnian, and he accidentally clicked onto the voice message .
