His eyes lowered slightly. Exerting more strength, he pulled Qiao Anhao&#8217;s chin upwards. Lifting her face, he stared into her eyes. With a tone as cold as ice, he hissed, &#8221; Qiao Anhao, if I remember correctly, on our wedding night, like a lofty woman, the first sentence you said was not to touch you! Now what? Just two months into the wedding and you can&#8217;t wait to climb into my bed?&#8221;  Lu Jinnian remained expressionless, frost and indifference coating his gaze. As he spoke, he strengthened his arm on her neck, slowly emitting a dangerous air that left people trembling.  Qiao Anhao&#8217;s original anxious state intensified under his interrogation. Even her toes were trembling. She bit down on her lip, stunned for a long while, unable to say a word.  Lu Jinnian also stopped talking, seemingly patient.  Silence fell on the room, and Lu Jinnian continued to look unwaveringly at Qiao Anhao&#8217;s pretty face.  Qiao Anhao was a bundle of nerves as she felt her thoughts being read by Lu Jinnian. Her heart raced and just when she couldn&#8217;t withstand the pressure any longer, Lu Jinnian spoke, breaking the silence, &#8220;Or have you always wanted to be in my bed&#8230;&#8221;  Qiao Anhao trembled in shock. Had he found out about her feelings?  Panic flashed across her eyes. Trying desperately to hide her feelings, she blurted out, &#8220;I want a role in &#8216;To the end of time&#8217;!&#8221;  Lu Jinnian stopped mid-sentence, unable to continue.  Qiao Anhao may have spoken too fast, causing him to be lost in a trance. For a long while, he stood silent.  She felt as though her heart was about to leap out of her throat. She struggled to calm down, staring straight at Lu Jinnian&#8217;s flawless face. Keeping her composure, Qiao Anhao continued, &#8220;As you know, its been more than half a year since my debut but I haven&#8217;t taken on any substantial roles. Since you hold so much authority in this industry, just a word would definitely secure me a role in &#8216;To the end of time&#8217;.&#8221;  Qiao Anhao froze briefly. After about five seconds, she pressed her lips into a tight line. Slowly, she continued, &#8220;Yesterday night was my payment.&#8221;  Registering her words, Lu Jinnian&#8217;s pupils shrunk sharply. As though trying to suppress his anger, the fingers on her neck started trembling. The next moment, he burst into laughter, &#8221; Qiao Anhao, are you trying to play with me?&#8221;  Lu Jinnian chuckled, a short laugh no more than two counts, before the smile disappeared. He glared sharply at her, and with a cruel tone soaked in frost said, &#8220;So you want to play with me? Alright, I&#8217;ll make sure to break you!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  Just then, Lu Jinnian seemed to have remembered something. His eyes lowered slightly.
