Chapter 526

Qiao Anhao hesitated slightly before picking up the video call .

Lu Jinnian spoke without much emotion, but his voice wasn't as cold as usual . "You're awake?"

Qiao Anhao swallowed the porridge in her mouth . "Mmh, why?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to know if you're awake . " Lu Jinnian paused before adding, "I'll be going to the western suburbs later on to play gold with Mr . Zhang and Mr . Zhao . "

Was he reporting his schedule? Why was he telling her about it?

Qiao Anhao secretly complained in her heart . Lifting her head, she looked out the window at the bright sun . "The sun's really strong today, won't it be hot?"

"It's a indoor golf course . "

"Oh," she replied before taking a bite of bread . Just then, she heard knocks on the door coming from the phone . The next moment, Lu Jinnian responded, "Come in . " His face came back on the screen once again . "I'll get busy now . "

"Mmh, bye . "

When Qiao Anhao hung up, she pinched the bread as her mind wandered off .

After friends have sex, there are usually three scenarios—they pretend nothing happened and continue being friends, they become a couple, or lastly, they never meet again .

Qiao Anhao was quite sure that Lu Jinnian wouldn't choose the last option so it was either the first or the second one . . .

But was it the friend or girlfriend one? Even though the two choices were only a word apart, the status was worlds apart!

Qiao Anhao bit hard into the bread, remembering that Lu Jinnian had sought her permission the night before . "Qiao Qiao, can I continue?"

He was seeking her permission . . . So why did he leave her a bank card and why did he call to report his whereabouts . . .

Was he trying to test out being a couple?

Joy started to seep through her heart before it suddenly turned to worry . . . But he had a girl he had been loving for thirteen years . . . Now that he was interested in her, what if one day they grew apart?

While Qiao Anhao was fretting over her emotions, she finished her breakfast . Just then, she seemed to have figured her status: semi-girlfriend, a little closer than a friend but a little less than a real girlfriend .

Even though she always wanted to be with him, she had never dared to think of hat actually happening, so now that he was her semi-boyfriend, she was content . . . Maybe, if everything worked out, they would really get together . . .

The positiveness lifted Qiao Anhao's spirits instantly, and heading upstairs, she changed into a pretty set of clothes . Grabbing the bank card from her semi-boyfriend, she left for the mall nearby .

On her way, she received three calls from Lu Jinnian: one to tell her that he had finished playing golf, another to inform her of his meeting at 3 pm, and the last one to tell her not to wait for him as he would come back a little late tonight .

It was four in the afternoon . Qiao Anhao was tired from all the walking, so she found a cafe to take a rest . That was when she received her fourth call .
