She meant no harm and was just thinking on behalf of Qiao Anhao. She was hoping that her friend could ride on Lu Jinnian&#8217;s authority, rising in the industry so that she could still live comfortably even if she were to leave him in the future. It was not wrong for a woman to think for herself.  It wasn&#8217;t that Qiao Anhao was too dignified for the idea, but rather Lu Jinnian&#8217;s hatred was so strong that it didn&#8217;t interest him to touch her.  She lowered her lashes, shielding her darkened pupils. She curved her lips slightly. &#8220;He&#8217;s currently filming in Rome, don&#8217;t you know? You don&#8217;t expect me to sleep with him in Rome do you?&#8221;   Zhao Meng froze slightly.  Qiao Anhao&#8217;s brows furrowed and she asked, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong?&#8221;  &#8220;Qiao Qiao, don&#8217;t you know?&#8221;  &#8220;Know what?&#8221;  After a long while, Zhao Meng said, &#8221; Lu Jinnian came back from Rome two days ago, didn&#8217;t he come home?&#8221;  So he was back&#8230; and as his wife, she had no clue.  Qiao Anhao froze, before smiling nonchalantly. &#8220;It&#8217;s normal that he didn&#8217;t come back&#8230; The longest I went without hearing from him was three months, and it&#8217;s hardly been even half a month.&#8221;  Zhao Meng didn&#8217;t reply, silence engulfing the car. After a while, she couldn&#8217;t help saying, &#8220;Qiao Qiao, two days ago, I heard one of the board members from Huan Ying entertainment company say that Lu Jinnian fainted and was rushed to the hospital while having a meeting on the day he was back.&#8221;  Qiao Anhao took a while to digest the information before replying with an &#8220;Oh&#8221;.  &#8220;I also heard the board members say that even though he was burning with a high fever, he refused to let the doctors treat him, insisting on getting himself discharged. Ignoring all the persuasions, he drove away alone with his fever.&#8221; Zhao Meng then couldn&#8217;t help adding, &#8221; Do you think he&#8217;ll be okay? He left the hospital without any treatment with a high fever.&#8221;  Qiao Anhao remained indifferent but in a corner where Zhao Meng couldn&#8217;t see, her hands were tightly clenched, bunching up the edge of her shirt.    Zhao Meng stared at the road ahead intently. After a long time, she asked again, &#8220;Qiao Qiao, aren&#8217;t you going to visit him?&#8221;  Qiao Anhao was silent for a moment before shaking her head. &#8220;We agreed to not interfere in each other&#8217;s businesses.&#8221;  Zhao Meng was the one to reply with an &#8220;oh&#8221; this time and the car sunk into silence once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  Zhao Meng was definitely not a bad person but rather a practical one.
