At that thought, Qiao Anhao couldn't help but pull her phone out . Seeing that she received no incoming calls or messages, her heart couldn't help but grow dejected .

She really did unintentionally make a mistake, but he was so angry . She chased him all the way to the parking lot, but he wouldn't listen to her explanation . Even until now, he hadn't contacted her . . . was he still mad?

After thirteen years of being in love with him, it was so difficult to spend a Valentines day together . With one fit of anger, was tonight's dinner plans thrown out the window?

At that though, Qiao Anhao suddenly became panic-stricken .

He may have been really angry in the afternoon, but she was the one who said the wrong thing . What if she was the first to apologize and clear the air . . . She would wait till dinner before she would calmly ask him why he did it . If it was really for revenge, she could try to persuade him to apologize to Xu Jiamu, then reconcile his relationship with his brother . . .

Otherwise, that'd really be a shame, and just like that, the dinner she had hoped for would no longer going to happen .

Qiao Anhao thought about it and instinctively turned her phone on . She found Lu Jinnian's number and wrote a message . She firstly typed [Hey], then felt like it wasn't sincere enough . She was afraid Lu Jinnian would ignore her message, so she deleted it . With a tilt of the head, she thought about it seriously and completely forgot about Han Ruchu beside her .

For about a good minute, Qiao Anhao collected her words together . When she lowered her head, she started to tap away at her phone . [I was too emotional this afternoon . I'm sorry, you said you'd meet up for dinner tonight . Can we talk about it then? I'm going home to wait for you . . . ]

"Qiao Qiao . "

Before she could type "All right?", Han Ruchu suddenly called her name .

Qiao Anhao replied absentmindedly . She tapped her phone screen twice, then came back to her senses when the housekeeper patted her on the arm . She looked over at Han Ruchu . "Aunt Xu, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing . I'm just thirsty . Could you please pour me a cup of water?" Han Ruchu smiled with a warm expression on her face . "But if you're busy, don't worry . I'll call Auntie Yun to get it . "

"No, I'll get it . " Qiao Anhao hurriedly locked her phone and shoved it back into her pocket . She grabbed the glass cup and quickly walked down the stairs .

She poured a cup of warm water . On her way back up to the room, her mind wandered to the incomplete message she hadn't sent and if there were any problems with it .

There was a turning on the stairs at the Xu family house, which was blocked by a wall . As Qiao Anhao carried the cup of water up the stairs, she didn't hold onto the railing . At the turn around that corner, the housekeeper suddenly popped out from behind the wall with large and small bags, squarely crashing into Qiao Anhao .

It all happened very suddenly . As Qiao Anhao held onto her cup, her mind preoccupied, she didn't notice that there was someone around the wall . The housekeeper bumped into her quite forcefully, and at an alarming speed . As her foot was ready to take a step up, the push made her miss that step . Without any warning whatsoever, she rolled down the stairs .

Qiao Anhao shrieked in fear . She heard the faint voice of housekeeper crying "Miss Qiao!", as her head hit the floorboards . The phone in her pocket fell out and dropped by her hands .

Qiao Anhao didn't feel the pain . Her face was stuck to the floorboards , but she just felt a little light-headed and had fresh, sticky blood oozing out
