Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 435

Chapter 435

The next morning, Lu Jinnian set out early to work as usual . As he passed by Xu Jiamu's mansion, he deliberately slowed the car, glancing at the mansion through the car’s windows .  

Maybe because he had spoken to Qiao Anhao the night before, he was in an exceptionally good mood . After settling his documents, he stood in a corner of his office in front of the floor length window, reminiscing about their conversation the previous day .

Even though their conversation didn't hold much meaning, it still managed to place a smile on his face .

Deep inside, he was starting to find the short distance between his mansion and the entrance of Mian Xiu Garden adorable .  

Lu Jinnian pondered it for a long while before lowering his head to drink some coffee . Just then, he heard knocking on the door . He swallowed the coffee in his mouth before replying faintly, "Come in . " 

His door opened slightly and his assistant came in with a document in his hands . "Mr .  Lu, you need to sign this . " 

Lu Jinnian walked back to his desk, placing the cup down . He reached for the document and flipped it slightly before signing his name, returning it back to his assistant .  

The man reached for the document with both hands before continuing, "Oh, Mr .  Lu, there’s one more thing . I have contacted the variety show that you assigned to Qiao Anhao previously, they would be recording on the ninth if this month . If there’s nothing wrong, I’ll get someone to inform her . " 

"Yea . . . " Lu Jinnian replied naturally, but when his assistant was about to leave, he suddenly spoke again .  "Wait . " 

His assistant turned back in confusion .  "Mr .  Lu, do you need me for anything else?" 

Lu Jinnian hesitated slightly before replying, "I'll inform her myself . " 

The assistant paused slightly, not knowing how to respond . After about a second, his mind seemed to have processed Lu Jinnian's words . He nodded politely, replying, "I understand, Mr .  Lu . " 

Lu Jinnian waited for his assistant to leave and closed the door before reaching for his phone . He keyed in the numbers that he had keyed in so many times these past few days but never dared dial .

Qiao Anhao would often feel uncomfortable on the first day of her period, staying in bed till it was afternoon .

There was a mini home theater in Xu Jiamu's house . After lunch, she decided to watch a movie out of boredom .

Halfway through it, Xu Jiamu called her, apologizing for his absence the previous night .

He sounded weird through the phone, but Qiao Anhao didn't ask much, and call was quickly cut off .

She placed the phone back down on the sofa, but just then it rang once again . She originally thought it was Xu Jiamu since the call had cut off abruptly, so she waited for it to ring a few times before picking up .

When she saw the phone screen and Lu Jinnian's name, she froze slightly before answering with a soft "Hello" .  

"It's me," Lu Jinnian's usual frosty voice came through .  

Qiao Anhao gripped the phone tightly, acknowledging with a soft "yea" . Continuing, she asked politely, "What is it?"
