Lu Jinnian remained nonchalant, but his fingers curled into a fist. He returned a frosty gaze, still not willing to say a word.

"Lu Jinnian, I know that you like Qiao Qiao, and I know that there's something between the two of you, but she is Jiamu's wife, Xu Enterprise lady boss, you can never be with her!

"If you really like her, please stop harassing her. If this carries on, you're going to destroy her!

"And you aren't just going to destroy Qiao Qiao, the Qiao family and Xu family will also be implicated!

"As her sister, I can't just see her walking into the flames!

"Besides, you should know that you're the third party in this right?"

Qiao Anxia's words unknowingly agitated Lu Jinnian, a sharp glint sparked in the depths of his eyes. He turned and stared at her ferociously, before brushing past to leave the room.

Qiao Anxia was angered by his lack of respect, and her whole body trembled in fury. She couldn't help reaching out to grab his arm. "You're charming, and even though she is involved with you right now, it may not be her true feelings. She might just be confused or infatuated momentarily. Don't forget that Qiao Qiao and Jiamu grew up together, their bond will definitely be tighter and stronger than yours..."

"Said enough?" Lu Jinnian interrupted, his hands clenched into tight fists, suppressing the urge to hit her. He stayed silent for another two seconds before speaking in a calmer tone, "Qiao Anxia, there isn't a point in telling me this. Besides..."

Lu Jinnian stopped, his breathing pausing as well. After a long while, he took a deep breath and continued in a calm tone, "I have always been clear that she doesn't love me."

Qiao Anhao opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, he spoke. "About me destroying her and pushing her into the flames..."

Irony flashed past his eyes as though mocking Qiao Anxia's ignorance. He spoke in a clear, direct voice. "Let me tell you truthfully, even if I destroy myself or throw myself into the flames, I will never hurt her. Don't you worry!"

Lu Jinnian's voice became desolate towards the end. He swallowed his saliva, sorrow clouding his face as he continued in an almost inaudible tone, "I willing love her, never expecting anything in return."

Suddenly, he pulled his hand out of Qiao Anxia's grip, taking large strides away.

Qiao Anhao applied a light and elegant makeup, deliberately choosing a peach-colored long dress and pumps.

She wanted to give Lu Jinnian a surprise, so she didn't want him to enter the house. After tidying up the place, she stopped in front of a mirror to do a final check, and then moved to wait by the door with her bag.
