Qiao Anxia seemed to have been affected by the photo; she could sense a hint of anticipation on Qiao Anhaoâs face as she smiled.
Qiao Anxia arranged her expression before settling the bill. When they were both in the lift, she casually asked, "Qiao Qiao, is Jiamu treating you well?"
It was not the first time that Qiao Anxia had asked her this question. Qiao Anhao tilted her head to the side, her voice cajoling. "Sis, you have asked this question many times after I got married."
"Iâm just worried that you arenât happy."
Initially, she was indeed worried that because of something she did, she had caused her unhappiness, but this time, she had asked to find out if what was happening between her and Lu Jinnian was because she was mistreated.
Qiao Anhaoâs smile grew warmer with Qiao Anxiaâs concern. Even though she was well aware that she didnât marry Xu Jiamu, she still decided to lie to make Qiao Anxia feel better. " Why wonât I be happy? Jiamu has always treated me well, youâre a witness to that."
Qiao Anxia had wanted to ask her why she would betray him if he treated her well... but she wasnât able to say such harsh words to Qiao Anhao, afraid that she would feel embarrassed, harming their relationship. In the end, she asked once more, "Really?"
"Really." Qiao Anhao wasnât aware of Qiao Anxiaâs thoughts, so she smiled sweetly at her, reaffirming her doubts.
Qiao Anxia stared at Qiao Anhao for a long while, only when they reached the ground floor and the elevator doors open did she nod her head slightly. "Then allâs good."
She then couldnât help adding, "Qiao Qiao, I really hope that you have a happy marriage."
Qiao Anhaoâs marriage was just a show, a show that would continue till the day Xu Jiamu woke up. But who knew when that would be... Till then, she could only keep up the facade, pretending to be in a fake marriage.
She turned to smile at Qiao Anxia once more. "Sis, you donât have to worry about me, Iâll definitely live a blissful marriage. You should be worrying about yourself, you should really consider Cheng Yang."
Qiao Anxia curled her lips into a smile, remaining silent. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Lu Jinnianâs car.

Lu Jinnian chose the dinner location. They had light cantonese food in an exquisite restaurant with elegant decor. In the large room, there were only the three of them. Halfway through their dinner, someone came in with a violin to play a short tune.
After dinner, it was already 10 pm. There werenât many cars on the street and since both Qiao Anhao and Qiao Anxia didnât drive, Lu Jinnian sent Qiao Anxia home. Qiao Anxia had originally wanted to return back home, but Cheng Yang called halfway and she went to his apartment instead.
After dropping her off, Lu Jinnian started his car once more.
