"Mr. Lu, thereâs something Iâm not sure if I should remind you..."
"Remind me what?" replied Lu Jinnian callously. He casually grabbed the notes heâd asked his assistant for that morning and flipped through them. They were from yesterdayâs meeting about him going after a woman.
The assistant carefully said, "Mr. Lu, before I remind you, can I ask you a personal question?"
Lu Jinnianâs eyelids didnât raise when he said, "You may."
"Mr. Lu, in yesterdayâs meeting, the woman you said you were going to chase, was it Miss Qiao?"
"Besides her, do you think I would have anyone else in mind?" Lu Jinnian finally raised his eyes up and glanced over at his assistant with eyes full of caution, as though to warn him not to test his limits.
The assistant was frightened by his look, and hurriedly shook his head. "No, no one else."
The assistant was afraid Lu Jinnian would look deeper into it, and so hastily cut to the point. "Mr. Lu, donât forget, when Miss Qiaoâs child died in the womb, you kept that from her. She and the Xu family are very close. Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu watched her grow up. If she finds out that you defeated the Xu family... If she falls out with you, then what will happen?"
When Lu Jinnian heard about Qiao Anhaoâs miscarriage, he thought back to the accident whilst filming "Heavenly Sword". At the thought of Qiao Anhao already knowing that she had a miscarriage, his expression immediately fell.
The assistant was so scared, his legs shivered, as he thought it was because he had insinuated that Miss Qiao would fall out with him. Afraid that Lu Jinnian would get angry, and would get back at him, he hurriedly changed his words. "Mr. Lu, I believe Miss Qiao would believe you. Sheâd definitely believe you. She absolutely wonât fall out with you!"
Lu Jinnian seemed like he was long used to his assistantâs grovelling after sharing his honest words of advice, so he just continued with no regards, "She already knows about the child."
"Eh? Ah? Miss Qiao knows?" The assistantâs eyes were practically going to fall out, as he looked at Lu Jinnian in disbelief. "How did Miss. Qiao find out?"
The assistant remembered that only he and the doctor knew about Qiao Anhaoâs miscarriage and swiftly cleared himself. "Mr. Lu, I promise you, I didnât tell Miss. Qiao!"
"It was Han Ruchu," Lu Jinnian revealed, calm as ever.
The assistant secretly sighed in relief. Thankfully, Mr. Lu didnât doubt his loyalty.
Lu Jinnian carried an auspicious air between his brows. "If Qiao Qiao hadnât gotten into an accident during filming, Iâd never have jumped down after her, and she mightâve misunderstood me forever!"
"Han Ruchu is truly despicable!" The assistant firstly expressed his anger, but then sill reiterated what he had just tried to remind him. "Mr. Lu, even if Miss Qiao had a miscarriage, we donât have sufficient evidence to prove it. To solely rely on the sleeping pills in the swallowâs nest, it wonât be enough to convince her. If she doesnât believe Han Ruchu could really do it, then we still..."
This time, the assistant learned well to leave some words be.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Iâll handle this." Indeed, Lu Jinnian had already though of a plan. When Qiao Anhao and he were in danger, the only reason why he didnât tell her the whole truth was because Han Ruchu was her future mother-in-law and her fianceâs mother. He didnât want to ruin the perfect imagine she had of her.
But now, things were different. Now, he had a chance to be with her.
