Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 322

Chapter 322

On the afternoon of the fourth day of Qiao Anhao’s break, she could feel a slight discomfort in her stomach, a pain similar to period cramps .  

Ever since young, she had always experienced period cramps . It was also not regular and would skip a few months, but the doctors had assured her that everything was fine . She had taken Chinese medicine to correct the problem and for half a year, everything had become normal . But soon after, it returned back to the irregular pattern . Too much medication was bad after all, so she went to visit another doctor who assured her once again that everything was fine .  

Qiao Anhao had mild discomfort in her stomach, but later that afternoon, it was fine .  

After having dinner, Madam Chen asked, "Mrs .  Lu, is Mr . Lu working overseas? Why hasn't he been back?" 

The question left Qiao Anhao startled, and after a while, she murmured an inaudible "Yea", then continued to eat her meal .  

After dinner, Madam Chen specifically heated up a bottle of swallow’s nest that Han Ruchu had given her . Qiao Anhao finished eating it and curled up on the sofa to watch television . Just then, she could feel discomfort in her stomach, she took a blanket to cover herself, afraid that she would get a cold . Gradually, she fell asleep .

These few days, Lu Jinnian had been back to Mian Xiu Garden, but he didn't leave his car .  

He had a dinner meeting earlier today, but when it ended, it was still early . The host had invited everyone to another location for some games, but Lu Jinnian refused, feeling uneasy the entire time .  

After his assistant drove the car up from the underground car park, he came out to open the door, but Lu Jinnian didn't enter . He stood for a while longer, then said, "Pass me the keys, you can leave first . "

He waited for his assistant to leave with the cab before entering the car, his heart beating rapidly . He tried to calm himself, but he couldn't stop a rush of anxiety from drowning him . He wind down the window, waiting for his breathing to calm, but the heaviness in his heart was still lingering . He started the car and slammed into the accelerator .  

After about ten minutes, he still felt the same heaviness in his heart, hence, he took out his phone and called Mian Xiu Garden .  

Madam Chen saw his number and picked up instantly, greeting him .  "Mr .  Lu . " 

Lu Jinnian replied with a faint "Yea" before asking impatiently, "How's Qiao Qiao?" 　

Madam Chen felt that the phone call was abrupt, so she paused for a bit, replying in confusion, "Mrs .  Lu is fine, she's watching television upstairs . " 

Lu Jinnian's anxious heart finally calmed down . He took a deep sigh before replying with a faint "Oh . " . He hung up after it .

Lu Jinnian had wanted to work overtime, but when he reached the crossroad, he seemed to feel uneasy, even though Madam Chen had assured him that Qiao Anhao was fine . Hence, he turned back to Mian Xiu Garden .  

When he reached the front yard, it was just 10 . 30 pm . Madam Chen was not asleep yet . When she heard his car enter, she came out to greet him .  

After alighting from the car, he didn't bother with greetings, brushing past her while he pressed the lock button on the car keys . Without even removing his shoes, he ran up the stairs into the bedroom, slamming the door open .
