Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Qiao Anhao waited for herself to fully calm down before raising from the sofa . Taking a set of clothes, she headed to the bathroom . She left the tap streaming into the bath while she removed her makeup in front of the vanity table . When she was about to squeeze toothpaste onto her toothbrush, she vaguely heard footsteps outside amid the splashing water .

She froze, her hand unconsciously tightening her grip on the toothbrush . She stood at the sink area for a long while before pushing the bathroom door open . Outside, Lu Jinnian was sitting on the sofa .

Qiao Anhao had felt uneasy the whole night, not knowing if he was going to come back . Only when she saw daybreak did she finally calm down, knowing it was too late for him to come back . At this moment, she was not prepared to face him . Her heart sank, the familiar sense of fear and anxiety creeping up on her, overwhelming her .

Hearing the door being pushed open, Lu Jinnian turned his head slightly, his gaze sweeping past Qiao Anhao without any emotion evident .

She trembled when he glanced at her . Unconsciously, she looked away, quickly lowering her head . Even though she knew that she would be ignored if she spoke to him, after a slight hesitation, she still asked warmly, "You're back?"

All she gave him was the tip of her head . . . She didn't even want to look at him . . . Lu Jinnian clenched his lips, looking away coldly . Ignoring Qiao Anhao's words, he lifted his hand to unbutton his suit .

Qiao Anhao was used to being ignored by Lu Jinnian, but this time, probably due to the events three months ago, she could distinctly sense the frost radiating off him . She grew increasingly more nervous . Wishing she could escape, she squeezed the toothbrush tightly . Finally, when she could no longer withstand the pressure, she blurted out an excuse, "Erm . . . my bath should be ready, I'll go bath now . "

Lu Jinnian continued to ignore Qiao Anhao, causally tossing his suit onto the sofa before taking long strides out the door of the master bedroom .

Only after a long while after Lu Jinnian had left did Qiao Anhao come back to her senses . She shut her eyes, taking in a deep breath before heading back to the bathroom .

If she could, Qiao Anhao would have hidden in the bathroom till Lu Jinnian left Mian Huan garden . However, despite that, she still came out .

When she opened the bathroom door, Lu Jinnian came into her sight, just having finished his shower . He was dressed in pajamas and was sitting on the bed, the side that he usually slept on . With both hands behind his head, he rested, eyes closed .
