Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 108

Chapter 108

Lu Jinnian's actions were swift and decisive, not giving Qiao Anhao any room for objection . He pushed her into the front passenger seat and returned to the driver seat .

He fasten his seat belt and slammed the accelerator . From the corner of his eye, he could see that Qiao Anhao had not fastened her seat belt . His fingers played with the steering wheel for a while before leaning over to her .

Qiao Anhao was shocked by his sudden closeness and since she couldn't tell his intentions, she moved backwards instinctively .

Seeing her actions, Lu Jinnian couldn't help feeling ridiculed . She hated his closeness so much?

His eyes dimmed instantly, his lips clenching tightly . He yanked the seatbelt beside her roughly and fastened it before retreating back swiftly . Back in his seat, his feet slammed into the accelerator once more . The car shot forward and if Qiao Anhao hadn't had a fastened seatbelt, she would've toppled over .

This was the first time they had been alone after the night she had tried to stop their deal .

Qiao Anhao was at a loss . She remained silent and in the same position even after the car had went driven for a long time .

Silence fell in the car, only the rain drops against the windows and the radio advertisement breaking it .

Qiao Anhao didn't dare to look at Lu Jinnian, so she turned her head slightly, observing him through the blurry side mirror . She could tell that he wasn't in a good mood and her originally shaking nerves grew even more shaky . She gripped onto her bag and even her breathing became careful .

The tight atmosphere suffocated her . She desperately thought for a topic . In the end, she asked in a single breath, "You . . . didn't go to Song Xiangsi's birthday dinner? Why are you back here?"

Lu Jinnian never expected Qiao Anhao to speak to him . Momentarily stunned, he paused for a bit before blinking slowly . With a slightly warmer expression, he continued to look ahead . He replied in a clear voice, a hint of softness in it, "I came back earlier . "

After a while, Lu Jinnian remembered that Qiao Anhao had asked two questions . Ever since young, he had always been alone, not interacting with others much, hence he grew to have few words . But every time Qiao Anhao asked him a question, regardless of whether it was before or now, he would try his best to reply as fully as possible .
