Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Qiao Anxia sat in the car . Through her mirror, she saw the faint figure of Lu Jinnian from afar . Her eyes finally couldn't help but become red .

-

When the elevator reached the top floor, Lu Jinnian walked out .

His assistant was hugging a few documents, waiting for him at his door . He said, "Mr . Lu, in the afternoon, the company's vice president sent someone to give us a few documents . They said they were urgent . Please look over them . If there aren't any questions, please sign them as soon as possible and send them back to the company . "

Lu Jinnian nodded lightly and pulled out the key card to his room . He removed his blazer and handed it over to the assistant . He took the documents over to the sofa, sat down, and examined them .

There were seven documents . Lu Jinnian looked through them all and signed them . By then, it was dark outside .

Lu Jinnian handed the documents over to the assistant and signaled for him to send them off to the company .

Seeing that it was already eight and Lu Jinnian still hadn't eaten, the assistant asked, "Mr . Lu, do you want me to call the kitchen for supper?"

Perhaps it was because he had read through all the documents in the afternoon, exhaustion came over Lu Jinnian . He waved at the assistant, hinting that it wasn't necessary .

The assistant got the hint . Hugging the documents, he said in a low voice, "Then, Mr . Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll be off . "

Lu Jinnian raised his hand to between his brows and massaged it, nodding slightly .

As the assistant turned away, Lu Jinnian suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Later, drop by Miss Qiao's room and ask her to stop by . "

"Yes," replied the assistant in a low voice . He gently opened the door and left .

Instantly, all that was left in the huge suite was Lu Jinnian . He laid down on the sofa, staring out at the starry sky beyond the window . His mind subconsciously thought about the words he'd said to Qiao Anxia in the farm-to-table restaurant .

When Qiao Anxia was younger and had failed to get with him, he had to still seen her because of Qiao Anhao and Xu Jiamu . But he tried his best not to interact too much with her .

Up until over four years ago . Back then, it had been seven whole months since he hadn't seen Qiao Anhao . Nor had he heard any news about her .

That night, Xu Jiamu's friends went singing at The Royal Palace . He turned up a little late . When he rushed in, there were hardly any seats left apart from the one next to Qiao Anxia . He went over and sat down .

At first, Qiao Anxia didn't initiate a conversation with him, nor did he want to talk to her . It was later, when everyone was playing a game, that she handed him a sieve and said something .

Compared to his usual self who never replied, this time, he said something to her .

The two of them chatted for a bit until he pretended to casually ask, "What happened to Qiao Anhao? How come she didn't come?"

Qiao Anxia didn't think much of it and replied, "Qiao Qiao caught a cold . She's not feeling too good, so she didn't want to come out . "

He nodded calmly as though it was nothing, but his heart clenched in pain .
