Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 628

Chapter 628

Qiao Anhao's abrupt apology sent Lu Jinnian into confusion, and he just continued to look at her .  

She lifted her head and looked into his eyes with a bright, teary gaze .  "Lu Jinnian, I'm really sorry for making you wait so long and for things I said that day . . . " 

Qiao Anhao was referring to the words that she had said in his office .  

But Lu Jinnian had misunderstood, assuming that she was talking about the text .

His eyes darkened, he beat down on the table aggressively and growled, "How many times do you need me to tell you, I don't want to hear about that!" 

Qiao Anhao trembled, clearly frightened by his sudden outburst . She didn't even dare to look at him, hurriedly hanging her head down .

Lu Jinnian's aggressive act attracted stares from the other patrons, and Qiao Anhao could vaguely hear that they were discussing them . Instinctively, she clenched her fists and hung her head lower .  

A pressuring force continuously emitted from Lu Jinnian, and his chest was rising up and down furiously . Qiao Anhao was afraid that he would turn and leave just like before .  

Ignoring the fear deep in her heart, she reached out to grab his sleeve .  

Lu Jinnian sensed her move . He turned and saw her slender hand tugging at his sleeve, and deep inside, his anger started to fade . After about a minute, he exhaled deeply and passed a pair of chopsticks over to her .  "Eat . " 

Qiao Anhao lifted her eyes slightly to study him . When she saw that he no longer had that scary aura, she reached over for the chopsticks, though her other hand still held onto his sleeve tightly . Lowering her head, she started to eat obediently .  

Zhao Meng was right - He was indeed unwilling to talk about the past . . . But she could sense that deep inside he still cared about her . Was Zhao Meng's suggestion the only solution left? 

Qiao Anhao tightened her grip on the chopsticks . When she took in a mouthful of rice, she peaked over at Lu Jinnian . He was staring out the window in a daze .  

Qiao Anhao glance around the restaurant . When she saw the drinks located at the vending machine, she bit her lip and turned to Lu Jinnian .  "I want orange juice . " 

Lu Jinnian had been staring at Qiao Anhao's reflection on the window all this while . When he heard her, he turned and stared at her slightly before heading for the vending machine .  

Qiao Anhao stared at his back . When she saw him reach for his pocket to grab a new note while scanning the rows of drinks, she bit down on her lip and swiftly fished out the pill box and placed its contents in an empty cup .
