Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 370

Chapter 370

The wetness at the bottom of Qiao Anhao’s eyes grew heavy . In the end, her vision became foggy, and the tears hung in the corner of her eyes, about to give way .

Qiao Anhao couldn't quite see, but through the blurriness she made out that there were many candles . She tried her best to curve the corner of her lips to say "Thank you", but just as her lips moved, tears uncontrollably flowed down her face .

Lu Jinnian held the cake with one hand, and with his empty hand, he reached out to wipe her tears . Then he said as though to lightly remind her, "Okay, make a wish . "

Qiao Anhao hurriedly nodded her head, and a few drops of tears fell . The corner of her lips curved up even more when she closed her eyes to make a wish . After she made a wish, she opened her eyes and a single tear fell . Taking in a deep breath, she blew out the candles, and gave Lu Jinnian a beaming smile with a face full of tears . She opened her mouth to speak, and said, slightly choked up, "Thank you . . . "

She wanted to say something, but the words didn't come out, and her tears fell even more intensely .

For all the years she'd loved him, she only cried in front of him once, and that was only a single tear . At the time, he glanced at her, then turned around and left . Ever since then, no matter how he treated her, even if she wanted to cry, she would hide away and secretly cry alone .

The night of his birthday had clearly happened so long ago . She didn’t even cried this hard that night, when she felt so wronged, but now, she didn't know what was wrong with her; the tears just wouldn't stop .

Lu Jinnian looked at Qiao Anhao, who was crying like a child, and his heart felt a little flustered . He put the cake aside, onto the coffee table . Even though he seemed calm and composed as he wiped her tears away, but his fingertips were trembling, which revealed his panic . In the end, his tone was tense when he said, "Don't cry . . . "

From the bottom of her heart, Qiao Anhao also felt that her crying was a little bratty, but sometimes women can be weird like that . When they encounter something heartbreaking, they're meant to cry but they don't shed a tear . When they should laugh, they're a sobbing mess .

Qiao Anhao tried her best to control her tears, but in the end, she just laughed . Then ended up suddenly hugging Lu Jinnian’s waist with her head in his chest .

His body froze, until he felt her tears soak into his shirt . When he felt lines and lines of trickling of tears, he reached out to gently stroke her back . His strokes were a little stiff .

Qiao Anhao gradually composed herself . Deep in Lu Jinnian's arms, she raised her head, and with a pair of red eyes from the crying, she gave him a beaming smile . "Sorry, my emotions are a little out of control . . . "

As she'd been crying, her eyes were particularly bright . When she smiled, there was a slight childish air about her tearful face .

She smiled again .  "I didn't want to cry . . . "

Lu Jinnian watched her, mesmerized . He originally wanted to wipe her tears with his fingertips, but his hand held her face still instead . Qiao Anhao didn't finish speaking . She suddenly stopped, opened her big bright eyes, and stared innocently and bewitchingly into his eyes .

The two of them held their gazes for a long time, their expressions transfixed . The atmosphere in the room surged with an air of romance .
