"After all, Lin Shiyiâs boyfriend invested so much money, which goes to say, he must be quite a big deal..."
"Whether her boyfriend is a big deal or not, is that something you should be worrying about?" Lu Jinnian picked up a piece of fish. As he deboned it, he interrupted Qiao Anhao in a nonchalant voice, cutting off her words. "What if I caused you to have an enemy in the business industry? Then what?"
Qiao Anhaoâs words were left stuck in her throat, and she gulped, staring at Lu Jinnian for about five seconds. She then realized what he had meant. Her eyes suddenly twinkled, and she drew her face closer. "Lu Jinnian, are you acting jealous?"
Lu Jinnian turned his gaze from the fish to Qiao Anhaoâs face, and stared at her with a neutral look. "Do you really think that a man who set his eyes on Miss Lin is worthy of my jealousy?"
Ayah... She was clearly being looked down on, so why did it make her feel so good?
Qiao Anhaoâs eyes were curved as she pouted her bright red lips from the hot chillis. "Youâre clearly jealous... Itâs because I said that her boyfriend was a big deal that youâre acting jea..."
Before she could say her final word âjealousâ, Lu Jinnian suddenly picked up the deboned fish and shoved it into her mouth, stopping her from talking once again.
When Qiao Anhao swallowed the fish, she clearly saw Lu Jinnianâs pale face gain a slight tinge of pink. She couldnât help but laugh whilst eating, which made him glare at her even more intensely. She hurriedly bit her lip and held her laughter in.
She then her eyes into a crescent moon shape. Like this, she looked the most charming and attractive self. Lu Jinnian couldnât help but turn his head towards the window, and the tint of red on his face grew even more evident.
However, even with Lu Jinnianâs nonchalant words as guarantee, Qiao Anhao still felt uncertain. She was afraid that he would judge her for what sheâd said, and so after eating the last shrimp, she asked in an obedient voice, "Lu Jinnian, did I go a little overboard this afternoon?"
Lu Jinnian took the last peeled shrimp and shoved it into Qiao Anhaoâs mouth. Then, he grabbed a napkin and slowly wiped his fingers. When he spoke, his tone of voice was rather flat but there was also a mix of infinite affection and pampering. "I wouldnât mind if youâd went even more overboard."
I really donât mind if you went a little overboard.
On the contrary, I really like it when you go overboard.
It gave me a sense that in your world, I am someone who you canât be without.
I love you, I like you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you... Those were the worldâs most sentimental terms of endearment. To randomly spit any one of those lines would touch someone.
But, Lu Jinnian had said "I donât mind if you went a little overboard".
Qiao Anhao thought that those words were the most beautiful words sheâd heard in the world. The warmest of sweet words couldnât even compare.
Even though she didnât believe Lin Shiyiâs words, her one line of "after marriage, he hadnât even bought you a wedding ring?" had prodded the softest part of her heart.
On their way off set, she had told herself over and over again that Lin Shiyi was just saying it to upset her. She mustnât get upset, or sheâd fall for her trap.
Whatâs more, wasnât it just a wedding ring?
