Translator: Paperplane Editor: DarkGem
"Zhao ng, I’ve decided! Crash your car into mine, but you have to act convincingly. Lu Jinnian will definitely run out to save , and then, I can grab him and never let go..."
With a single pack of cigarettes, how could she be sure that Mr. Lu had been the one there?
Zhao ng looked at how enthusiastic Qiao Anhao was, and didn’t say a word in the end, because she couldn’t bare to trigger her. Even though these days she didn’t look any different from before, filming and having als as she was supposed to, Zhao ng knew sothing was off. After being friends with her for so many years, she could tell that Qiao Anhao was unhappy every single day. So much so that she would wake up in the middle of the night and hear her secretly crying in bed on her own.

No matter what Zhao ng thought, Qiao Anhao was certain that Lu Jinnian had been there last night. She was certain that this pack of cigarettes belonged to him.
She had finally found a clue after four whole months of looking for him. She felt like the weight of a mountain had disappeared from her chest and her breathing beca a lot smoother.
After she packed her suitcase, she carefully placed the treasured pack of cigarettes into her bag.
On her flight back to Beijing, Qiao Anhao didn’t know just how many tis she pulled out the pack of cigarettes and stared at it.
-
The day after Qiao Anhao returned to Beijing, she received a call from Qiao Anxia.
Qiao Anhao consistently told herself not to bla her sister for not telling Lu Jinnian about her being in the hospital when he was looking for her. She knew that, if Qiao Anxia realized that Lu Jinnian liked her, then she definitely would feel uncomfortable about it.
But understanding was one thing. She still wandered if her sister had told Lu Jinnian that she was in the hospital in the first place, would the end result have been the sa or would it have been different now?
She really didn’t resent Qiao Anxia, but she still felt devastated from the bottom of her heart. And so, every ti her sister called her, she would always hesitate for a long ti. When she finally composed herself, she picked up the call.
"Qiao Qiao, what took you so long to pick up the phone?" The sound of Qiao Anxia’s voice was crystal clear as always.
Qiao Anhao quickly ca up with an excuse. "I was just in the shower."
"It’s twelve in the afternoon. Did you just get up? You haven’t had lunch yet, have you?"
Qiao Anhao replied with a single "Uh huh", then said ,"Sis, did you call for sothing?"
"Can’t I call you if it’s nothing serious?" asked Qiao Anxia in return. She then continued with a cheerful smile, "Qiao Qiao, I’m calling to remind you that tomorrow night is Aunt Xu’s birthday. Don’t forget to co over."
When Qiao Anhao heard this, her eyes instantly beca cold, for she rembered that it was Han Ruchu who had killed her baby.
Qiao Anxia waited on the phone for a while, but didn’t hear anything from the other side. "Qiao Qiao?"
Qiao Anhao snapped back to her senses. "Got it."
Perhaps it was the overly cold tone in Qiao Anhao’s voice, but Qiao Anxia felt an indescribable sense of unease creep into her heart. In that instant, she rembered the image of Lu Jinnian waiting three whole days and nights at the doors of the Qiao family estate for Qiao Anhao.
When she first woke up, Lu Jinnian had already went missing. Qiao Anxia knew perfectly well that Qiao Anhao didn’t know that Lu Jinnian had asked her for her whereabouts. Yet whenever she faced Qiao Anhao, she could hear a flatness in her tone of voice, which made her feel randomly guilty.
