Goodbye My Youth, Goodbye My Love (15)

The mansion was silent and no matter how good the soundproof walls were, she could still hear Lu Jinnian talking to Madam Chen. 

As his footsteps became louder, the bedroom door suddenly opened. Qiao Anhao’s eyes remained shut as she pretended to be asleep.

Lu Jinnian's footsteps were light. He seemed to have stood at the side of the bed observing her for a long while before going to the bathroom. After about ten minutes, he came out and climbed lightly onto the bed, careful not to wake her up.

The light scent from the soap mixed with his familiar scent and flew towards Qiao Anhao. She inhaled slightly, the warm heat from his bath entering her system. Her eyes started to sting slightly, tiny droplets framing her lashes before falling onto the pillow.
