Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 137

Chapter 137

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 .

At that time, she was already someone he could not love, even if he was worried, he had no right to visit or care about her . In the end, he drove through the silent night, sitting outside the Qiao family's mansion, guarding till the next morning before driving off .

He knew that Qiao Anhao would always be a burden he could not carry but yet he could not let go .

Even though at that time they no longer were in contact, he still wanted to know how she was living .

Just like that, he continued to talk to Qiao Anxia to get snippets of information . . . Unknowingly, it lasted for four years, until the day Xu Jiamu's mother Han Ruchu came to him . She wanted him to act as Xu Jiamu and marry Qiao Anhao . . . Only then did he stop talking to Qiao Anxia .

Ever since the incident five years ago, he knew that Qiao Anhao was someone he could never love, so he started to treat her coldly, but his love never wavered . He never thought of trying to love someone else or settling with someone more suitable .

Hence, when he heard Qiao Anxia telling Qiao Anhao that he might be interested in her and could even potentially become her boyfriend, he wasn't just infuriated but worried as well .

He was worried that Qiao Anhao would misunderstand him, think he liked her sister .

That day, he didn't return back to the set but waited directly at the hotel . Once Qiao Anhao went it, he immediately joined Qiao Anxia in her car .

He was at the peak of his fury then, saying harsh and offensive words to her . But it was all for the best, if he couldn't get together with her, he wanted to make it clear to her .

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

The sudden knock on the door jolted Lu Jinnian out of his daze . He arranged his expression before gracefully standing up to open the door .

According to Lu Jinnian's instructions, his assistant had gone to find Qiao Anhao, telling her that Mr . Lu wanted to see her upstairs . Before leaving, the assistant hesitated before adding, "Miss Qiao, Mr . Lu hasn't eaten since afternoon . . . He has been working the entire time and only now got some free time . I asked him if he wanted to eat but he refused, yet he'll have a long day tomorrow . Could you get him to eat a little later?"
