Chapter 674
Qiao Anhao woke up at 12 pm . When she entered the bathroom, she saw the note that Lu Jinnian had left .
He had actually gone on a business trip . . .
After brushing her teeth, she walked out to grab her phone to give him a call .
Lu Jinnian picked up instantly . Through the phone, she could hear the airplane boarding announcement .
"You're awake?"
"Yea," Qiao Anhao replied softly . "How many days will you be gone?"
"I'll probably be back on Friday after I finish the work here . "
"Oh . " Qiao Anhao looked at the calender on her phone, it was only Monday .
Lu Jinnian heard her disappointment . He chuckled lightly before reminding her to have her meals on time and to tuck herself in at night . . .
Although he had already written the reminders on a post-it he had stuck on the bathroom door .
Only when the air stewardess came over to rush him to switch off his phone did he finally hang up .
Qiao Anhao saw that her battery was low, so she charged her phone before heading to the kitchen . After opening the fridge, she was about to prepare some food when the doorbell suddenly rang .
She switched off the stove, and turning to the door, she saw through the CCTV outside that it was a woman . She knew her as well, it was Lucy, and beside her stood a blond-haired man that she had never seen before .
Qiao Anhao frowned, and opened the door with confusion . She greeted the both of them before using simple English to ask, "Are you looking for Lu Jinnian? He’s out on a business trip . "
"Really? That's a pity," Lucy replied, smiling brightly at Qiao Anhao before pointing into the house . "Can we go in for a seat?"
"Of course . " Qiao Anhao hurriedly stepped aside, grabbing two pairs of slippers .
After bringing them to the sofa, she ran to the kitchen to bring a hot pot of coffee .
"Thank you . " Lucy seemed to love to smile, every sentence of hers was followed by a bright smile . "Are you Nian's wife?"
Qiao Anhao nodded .
Lucy pointed to the man sitting beside her, introducing him, "He's my husband, he was also in the hotel yesterday . "
Qiao Anhao was suddenly reminded of the night before, when she had accused Lucy . Her face blushed a deep shade of red . She lowered her head to apologize . "I’m really sorry for yesterday night . "
"It's fine . " Lucy smiled brightly once more, praising the coffee as she sipped on it slowly . "Is this your and Nian's house?"
"Yea," Qiao Anhao pointed upstairs, "Care for a tour?"
Lucy’s face brightened from surprise . "Can I?"
Qiao Anhao nodded her head . She stood up and gestured for the couple to go ahead .
Mian Xiu Garden was a European style building . A famous designer from Europe had been hired to design it so it suited the tastes of the couple .
They toured the house, the guests constantly praising the furnishings as they passed . When they came back down, Lucy smiled to her husband . "I have something to tell Mrs . Lu . Dearest, do you want to go back to the hotel first?"
Lucy's husband agreed readily, giving her a quick kiss and an enthusiastic wave to Qiao Anhao before leaving .
