Chapter 4: Bringing the ‘Nation's Husband’ Home (4)
Editor: DarkGem
"Mr. Lu, I've already booked the 12 am flight to Rome. After touchdown, you can rest up for almost fifteen hours before your next shoot."
Lu Jinnian didn't say a word whilst his assistant gave a run-down of his schedule. Instead, he stared at the WeChat message for about five seconds before lifting his head indifferently. He nodded towards his assistant, acknowledging his report.
Lu Jinnian's assistant had been working for him for many years, hence he was well acquainted with his boss' aloof personality. Unperturbed by Lin Jin Nian's lack of concern, he continued, "Mr. Lu, there are about six hours before the airplane takes off. Would you like to have dinner in the city or at the airport?"
"In the city," Lu Jinnian replied faintly. Before his assistant could ask about the location, he continued, " Jing Chen hotel."
When Lu Jinnian and his assistant finished their meal, it was already 8.30 pm. They footed the bill before proceeding to the main door. Just as they reached it, Lu Jinnian stopped.
His assistant stopped immediately as well. "Mr Lu, is something wrong?"
Lu Jinnian remained silent for awhile and just when his assistant was started debating whether or not to repeat the question, he replied, "Wait for me in the car, I have something to do upstairs."
He stood at the main door for a few more seconds before turning towards the lift.

As part of the crew in 'To the End of Time', Qiao Anhao was naturally at the dinner. The minute she reached the city, she had hurriedly bathed, changed her clothes, done her hair, and applied light makeup before rushing to Jing Chen hotel. Despite preparing in record time, Qiao Anhao was still late for the dinner. When she reached, 'To the End of Time' director was already on the stage, addressing the crowd, expressing his gratitude.
Since everyone was focused on the director, no one noticed Qiao Anhao's late arrival. She stood in the crowd, looking around before making a beeline for her manager Zhao Meng.
After the director's brief speech, the dinner began.
Since it was a banquet, socializing and alcohol were customary.
Qiao Anhao wasn't an A lister in the industry but her pretty face, perfect figure, good personality, and eloquence allowed her to shine, so she fit in perfectly.
Qiao Anhao was starving by the time she greeted everyone in the banquet. Without hesitation, she pulled Zhao Meng towards the buffet area. She filled her plate before randomly sitting down near a window. After a few bites, the originally boisterous banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
As Qiao Anhao swallowed a mouthful of food, she lifted her head up in curiosity.
She clutched tighter onto her chopsticks. Her heart started to race. Then, her eyes followed the crowd's gaze, and spotted Lu Jinnian.

Chapter 5: Bringing the ‘Nation's Husband’ Home (5)
Editor: DarkGem
The memory from three months ago resurfaced. She remembered getting strangled by Lu Jinnian after climbing into his bed...
"Qiao Anhao, are you trying to play with me?
"Good, Qiao Anhao, you want to play? I'll play till the end!"
He must have been very angry that day to have said such things.
For the past three months, she had been hiding from him. Despite her efforts, she still met him in the end.
Dressed in a well-fitted black suit, Lu Jinnian's tall and trim physique was accentuated. As the bright lights in the banquet hall fell on his face, his originally exquisite facial features became three-dimensional. His sharp nose bridge, thin lips, strong brows were dazzling.
The entertainment industry was saturated with good looking people. One could easily pick out an entertainer that would stand out in the crowd. However, Lu Jinnian was not just that, he possessed a unique charisma that would capture anyone's attention, easily making him the focal point anywhere.
Silence fell in the room the minute he arrived. 'To the End of Time' director was the first to come back to his senses. With a glass of wine in hand, he enthusiastically welcomed Lu Jinnian, "Mr. Lu..."
The atmosphere gradually heated up after the director had spoken. Even though it was clear to everyone that their greetings wouldn't be reciprocated, it didn't stop them from greeting him.
Lu Jinnian strolled towards the seating area as though no one had spoken to him. Even though it was just a short stroll, he was still able to captivate everyone's attention.
The director held onto the wine, fawning all over Lu Jinnian with a smile plastered on his face.
Qiao An was eating in the seating area. Initially, when she was still a distance away from him with the crowd shielding her, she had the courage to look at him. But as he came closer, she only dared to sneak occasional peeks.
When Lu Jinnian was finally about to reach her, she didn't even dare to lift her head. Cautiously, she remained in her seat, motionless, no longer moving her chopsticks, no longer as carefree as before.
"Chairman Lu, why didn't you inform us that you were coming? I could have gotten someone to escort you..."
When the director's words reached Qiao Anhao's ears, she distinctly felt Lu Jinnian walking towards her. Unconsciously, she tightened the grip on her chopsticks and straightened her back into a rod. As she focused on her plate of food, even her chewing started to slow, becoming careful.
When Lu Jinnian finally walked pass her and Qiao Anhao was preparing to heave a sigh of relief, she realized that he had sat down in a chair behind her.
