Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 821

Chapter 821

Qiao Anhao subconsciously balled her hands into a fist, until Qiao Anxia walked in . Then she shouted out, "Sis!"

When Qiao Anxia heard her sister’s voice, she slightly lowered her eyes . After a while, she turned her head, and her eyes fell on Lu Jinnian . She stared at him for quite a long time, before she moved her eyes to Qiao Anhao . Then, she slightly lifted her chin, and sat in an empty seat next to Father Qiao without saying a word .

Even though Qiao Anxia only shot her a look, Qiao Anhao could clearly feel the cold and distant aura within her eyes .

Her body involuntarily stiffened .

Mother Qiao didn't know that Qiao Anxia tried to go out with Lu Jinnian, so when she saw her take a seat, she also sat down and said with a beaming smile, "I was just about to go upstairs to call you, when you came down . Also, Xia Xia, Lu Jinnian especially bought you those gifts over there . He's so considerate . He bought you all your favorites and they're all items from the new season . "

Lu Jinnian was so busy talking to Father Qiao about business, he didn't notice what was going on . As he was sitting next to Qiao Anhao, he clearly felt her body tense up . Deep down inside, he understood that it must've have something to do with Qiao Anxia .

Now that he heard Mother Qiao's words, he immediately politely and gently said, "Auntie, how would I know what Miss Qiao likes . Qiao Qiao personally chose them in the shopping mall . That Chanel bag . . . Qiao Qiao said Miss Qiao likes it in blue, and that she likes it in rose too . In the end, she even told me to just buy them both . "

In truth, Lu Jinnian was the one who wanted to buy both Chanel bags . At the time, Qiao Anhao was confused why he did that but now that he said this, she finally understood . Lu Jinnian did this so that Qiao Anxia would know just how much her sister cared about her .

Lu Jinnian's attentiveness warmed Qiao Anhao's heart for a moment, and she instinctively turned to look at Qiao Anxia .

Her sister acted as though she didn't hear what Mother Qiao and Lu Jinnian said . She didn't even bother sweeping a glance at the shopping bags in the corner, but stared straight at an advert on TV .

The atmosphere in the room instantly grew awkward .

Thankfully, Mother and Father Qiao were experts at pretending that all is well . Father Qiao scolded Qiao Anxia until she smiled apologetically at Lu Jinnian . They changed the subject, and Mother Qiao continued their conversation . Lu Jinnian acted as thought nothing had happened just now, and continued to chat with them .

In a spot people couldn't see, he secretly covered Qiao Anhao's hand .

Even though the two of them didn't say a thing, she understood he was trying to comfort her .

Qiao Anxia's cold attitude made her feel a little upset inside, but after Lu Jinnian’s silent actions, she loosened up .

The servants finished preparing lunch, so everybody walked over to the dinning table .

Mother Qiao knew Qiao Anhao was pregnant so she especially asked them to cook light meals . She waited till after everyone were in their seats before she brought over a bowl of chicken soup for her .

"Thanks auntie . "

Qiao Anhao received the bowl with both hands . Her eyes couldn't help but look over at Qiao Anxia sitting next to her . She hesitated for a moment, but brought the bowl over to her in the end and said, "Sis, you drink first . "
