Chapter 523

Lu Jinnian's beautiful eyes were deep and bright, with a hint of a mysterious glint . In just an instance, Qiao Anhao was mesmerized .

Just like that, the room narrowed in on them, and they could only see the other in their eyes .

Lu Jinnian's eyes deepened . He stared for a long while before leaning closer .

Qiao Anhao had a tingling suspicion for what was to come, and her lashes trembled, but she didn't try to hide .

Lu Jinnian's features magnified gradually, and just before his lips touched hers, she shut her eyes . She could distinctively feel his warm breath on her face, and her hands tightened on the sofa as she prepared for the kiss . But just before he reached her lips, her phone rang .

Lu Jinnian stopped, staring at Qiao Anhao for a while longer before forcing himself away .

Qiao Anhao flushed a deep shade of red . She glanced at her phone before walking to the window to pick up . "Sis . "

"Qiao Qiao, you moved out of Jiamu's mansion?"

"Yea . "

"Then why didn't you come back to stay?"

"I intend to get an apartment in the city, didn't you get one for yourself as well?"

"All right . . . " Qiao Anxia paused for a bit before adding, "If you see anything you like, don't hesitate to get it . "

Qiao Anhao hung up . When she turned, she saw Lu Jinnian walking out of the bathroom .

In the past, they would use their deal as an excuse, but now that they decided to be friends, their almost kiss seemed weird . Qiao Anhao averted her gaze, while Lu Jinnian remained at ease . He glanced at the time . "It's getting late, get some rest . "

The words seemed to be Qiao Anhao's saviors . She nodded, hurriedly threw a "Goodnight!", and ran up to her room .

Even though Lu Jinnian indeed wanted to do certain things, he was willing to wait till after his confession, when she accepted him and they became an official couple .

Yet even though that was his intention, that night at 1am, he was still reminiscing about what almost happened on the sofa .

At night, Qiao Anhao was awakened by thirst, probably due to the ice cream and chips that she had eaten earlier .

Using the glow from the staircase light, she ran down the stairs in her nightgown . She poured herself a cup of water before throwing her head back to down the water . Just then, the lights in the living room turned on .

Qiao Anhao jumped in shock, her hand trembling, spilling the contents onto her chest . She turned, seeing Lu Jinnian walk out of the study room on the first floor .

Qiao Anhao wore a white night gown, and now that it was wet, it was almost transparent .

Lu Jinnian's gaze fell on the wet patch on her chest .

Qiao Anhao froze for an entire minute before snapping back to her senses . She placed the cup down, and shielding herself with her hands, she ran towards the stairs . As she brushed past Lu Jinnian, he suddenly reached out to grab her hand, pressing her against the wall behind her . Lowering his head, he covered her lips .
