Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 644

Chapter 644

Lu Jinnian lifted the cigarette towards his mouth to take a deep breath . Exhaling slowly, he looked at the two names behind the smoke for a long while . In the end, he still couldn't resist reaching towards his thigh to pinch himself . When the sharp stinging pain pulsed through his veins, he was reassured that the past twenty four hours—the flight back from America all the way till now—had really happened .

Qiao Anhao was really married to him, she was his wife .  

"Lu Jinnian . . . " Qiao Anhao's voice suddenly sounded from the staircase . Soon, he could hear her hurried footsteps .  

He came back to his senses and extinguished the cigarette instantly, stuffing the marriage certificate back into his pocket . He turned to walk out of the study room . Qiao Anhao had just showered and was dressed in a cotton night dress and had a towel wrapped around her head . With a cleanly scrubbed face, she ran up the stairs with her hands on the railing as she shouted continuously, "Lu Jinnian, Lu Jinnian . . . " 

"Here . " Lu Jinnian frowned, he shut the study room door and walked down the stairs towards her .  

The moment she heard his voice, she lifted her head in its direction . The moment his face came into sight, the obvious anxiousness and anxiety etched on her face faded away, turning into a warm smile . Rushing up the staircase once more, she panted slightly, seemingly out of breath .  "I filled the tub with hot water for you . " 

Was she worried when she couldn't find him? 

His heart increased in tempo, the drumming clear in his ears, and his gaze turned fiery . After a while, he nodded his head silently . Grabbing her hand, he walked her back to the bedroom .

When Lu Jinnian came out of the shower, Qiao Anhao was already lying on the bed, chatting in a low voice . He didn't pay attention to the content but when he heard her say "Brother Jiamu", he froze slightly before returning to the bathroom and closing the door behind himself .  

Qiao Anhao didn't talk for long, it was about two minutes before the conversation ended . Lu Jinnian tossed the towel he had in his hands before returning back to the bedroom .  

Qiao Anhao sat on the bed . When she heard him, she turned asking gently, "Done showering?" 

"Yea," Lu Jinnian replied coldly . He switched off the bedroom lights and laid down on the bed .  

Nothing happened on the first night after they got married, they just laid on the bed silently .  

Qiao Anhao inched slightly towards him . He didn't avoid and even brought her into his embrace .  

Since they came back from America, they had gone straight to get their marriage license . They never once stopped to rest, so by then they were exhausted . Qiao Anhao nestled in Lu Jinnian's arms and fell asleep after a short while .  

Lu Jinnian waited till her breathing became deeper before he lowered his head . With the faint glow from the night lamp, he looked at her face for a while . Reaching out with his arm, he lightly caressed her face . The feeling was real . Glancing back at the ceiling, he stared for a while more before gently removing Qiao Anhao from his arms . Silently, he put on a sweater before going to the study room .  

He sat at the same spot he was in previously . Picking up the box of cigarettes in front of him, he lit a stick .
