Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 223

Chapter 223

"It was just a rear-end collision . "

Lu Jinnian asked nonchalantly, "Was anyone hurt?"

"We're fine . " Qiao Anhao blinked, looking in the direction of Lu Jinnian's line of sight . From that angle, the lighthouse appeared magical with the lights reflecting off it .

She stared for a long while before remembering Lu Jinnian's back injury . "What about you?" she asked softly .

"Ah?" Lu Jinnian made a questioning sound .

"Has the injury on your back recovered? How is it?"

"It's good," he replied lightly, not letting any emotion show .

Even though he had helped her because of Xu Jiamu, she hadn't thanked him . There was a moment of silence before she spoke again . "Thank you . "

Even though it was abrupt, he understood . Without replying or looking at her, he stuck his hands into his pockets, quietly looking ahead, his lips curled upwards into a slight smile . Only after a long while did he reply . "You're welcome . "

Qiao Anhao didn't respond , instead, she held onto the white marble fence in front of her . As she looked ahead, a wide grin stretched across her face .

The night breeze blew softly, and the the lights flickered . Neither said a word, cherishing the silence . Deep inside, warm and indescribable happiness filled their hearts .

After a seemingly long while, Lu Jinnian shifted his attention away, saying faintly, "It's about time, lets go . "

Qiao Anhao nodded, tuning to leave first with Lu Jinnian following behind her .

Just like that, they walked quietly down the rocky path, enjoying each other's company .

Only when they reached the set did Qiao Anhao know Cheng Yang and Qiao Anxia were back from the city .

The filming was about to begin, and before it started, the director instructed them again, emphasizing on the key points, leaving no time for Qiao Anhao to greet her cousin .

Qiao Anxia was discussing with Cheng Yang their plans for the future, what they would do when he finished filming the movie . When she saw Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian entering from the forest, her face fell instantly, losing all her enthusiasm . She lost herself in thought, ignoring Cheng Yang .

The scene today included Song Xiangsi, Lu Jinnian, and the other important characters of the movie . They had gathered to enjoy the dance Qiao Anhao had prepared for the finale of the company's annual dinner .

The script required everyone except Lu Jinnian to be mesmerized by Qiao Anhao's dance . He would be in a daze from a text he received from his girlfriend and forced to decide whether to leave or to stay . In the end, when Qiao Anhao was at the height of her performance, he would turn to leave .

Qiao Anhao had a background in dancing and had even received training from a dance instructor from the crew . The actions weren't difficult, especially not to her .
