Chapter 303
Though Qiao Anhao asked Zhao Meng to come over early to pick her up to go to the set, when she arrived, it was already late . The time was almost eleven in the afternoon .
Zhao Meng didn't drive in but stopped the car outside of the mansion's courtyard .
Qiao Anhao bid Madam Chen goodbye and walked over, grabbing her bag . Just then, Zhao Meng, who had already turned the car around, stopped by the pavement in front of the gates .
Just when Qiao Anhao was about to cross the road, a Mercedes-Benz stopped right in front of the mansion . She abruptly stopped in her tracks, about to go around the car, when she saw the car open . Lu Jinnian's assistant stepped out from the front passenger seat and stepped back to open the car door in the back .
Lu Jinnian stepped out of the car and walked forward two steps . He saw Qiao Anhao at the gates of the courtyard and immediately stopped walking .
The two of them stood about a meter apart . Neither of them spoke first .
The assistant didn't notice the situation behind him . He paid the chauffeur, then turned to see Lu Jinnian standing without moving . He couldn't help but call out, puzzled, "Mr . Lu?"
He took two steps forward and saw that Qiao Anhao was in front of Lu Jinnian . In that instant, he politely greeted her, "Hello, Miss Qiao . "
Qiao Anhao snapped back to reality and nodded slightly at the assistant . She tightly grabbed the bag in her hands and looked away from Lu Jinnian . Then she shifted two steps to the side, around Lu Jinnian, and rushed over to the street .
She walked away hurriedly, and didn't even notice that the car Lu Jinnian had called had already started up . She was dangerously close to being hit, but luckily, Lu Jinnian reacted just in time . He suddenly pulled her arm, which made her take two steps back, and the car slowly drove off in front of her .
The assistant jumped in fright . He looked over at Qiao Anhao, slightly pale, and asked, "Miss Qiao, are you okay?"
Qiao Anhao forced herself to calm down and shook her head at the assistant . Then she realized that Lu Jinnian had grabbed her arm . His palms were soft and warm .
Her body stiffened . She raised her head and looked at Lu Jinnian . His head was lowered, his pitch-black eyes staring directly at her . She instinctively lowered her eyes, and hesitated for a moment, before she struggled to pull her arm out of his grip . Without a sound, she lowered her head and walked off towards the streets .
Lu Jinnian's hand froze rigidly in the air, still seeming as though he was holding something . He held onto that pose, as he stared straight at Qiao Anhao's figure .
Qiao Anhao pulled the car door open, and Zhao Meng, who was on the phone, turned her head and blew a kiss . She hung up the phone, started up the car, and drove off .
The car took a turn up the road ahead . Even when they completely disappeared, Lu Jinnian was still standing, blanked out, on the spot .
After following Lu Jinnian for so many years, his assistant could smell that something was wrong . He instinctively stepped a few steps away from Lu Jinnian, and kept himself quiet, as he pretended to be deaf and mute .
After a long while, Lu Jinnian's handsome and refined eyes blinked gently . He pulled his eyes back from afar, then put his hand down . He calmly turned his head and strode over to the mansion without a sound .
The assistant waited for Lu Jinnian to walk ahead for some distance before he started striding in after him . According to many years of experience, he knew that though Lu Jinnian looked quite calm, at this moment in time, it was actually when his mood was the worst .
