Qiao Anhao couldn't help but fall into Lu Jinnian's arms. After a while, she said, "Lu Jinnian, do you know what is the most touching word in the world?"

He smoothed out her long hair and asked, "What?"

She slightly lifted her head and whispered into his ear, "Husband."

Lu Jinnian's body clearly tensed up. He froze completely for about a minute, before suddenly pushing her onto the bed, then kissing her deeply.

If he could, he really wanted to love her right now

Unfortunately... he could only just think about it.

Lu Jinnian made out with Qiao Anhao for a long time, then he finally let go of her whilst panting and spoke in a stifled voice. "Qiao Qiao, do you know what's the most touching word in the world?"

He whispered into her ear, "Wife."

He copied her... Qiao Anhao's face flushed, and she let out a giggle.

After it, she drew closer to his ear and said, "Lu Jinnian, there is something I didn't tell you."

"En?"

"Actually, I fell in love with you at first sight... En..." Qiao Anhao paused for a moment, then said, "Which goes to say, I fell for you that day I found shelter from the rain. I've liked you for thirteen whole years."

Since he read the love letter, he had thought that she liked him for five years. Then, after they went to the school, he realized that she studied to get into Class One for him. That's when he thought that she must've liked him since the first year of high school, but now... she just told him that she fell in love with him at first sight. That was thirteen years ago.

At that moment, Lu Jinnian heard his blood run. He stared at her for a long long time, then said, "What a coincidence, I've also liked you for thirteen years."

Because Father and Mother Qiao had to go work, Qiao Anhao had to call to arrange a time to visit in advance. They agreed for it to be on the weekend.

Early that morning, Lu Jinnian and Qiao Anhao woke up, got ready, and drove to the cemetery.

Qiao Anhao's parents and Lu Jinnian's mother's graves weren't in the same cemetery, and they were a little far apart. After they finished paying their respects, they returned to the city at around eleven in the afternoon. They drove to the Qiao family estate and tried to make it in time for their scheduled visit.

Father Qiao opened the door. Qiao Anhao greeted first, then turned her head to introduce Lu Jinnian. When he gave his regards to father Qiao, he appeared calm and courteous.

Qiao Anhao had assumed that since Lu Jinnian asked what Father and Mother Qiao liked, then he'd buy something from the list of things she mentioned. Yet, she never considered that he might buy each and every item. The various wrapped boxes filled a big corner of the Qiao family's living room.

Mother Qiao was in the kitchen watching as a servant was cooking. When she heard Father Qiao's voice, she walked into the living room and offered Lu Jinnian a seat. She even personally cut some fruit and brought it to him.

Qiao Anhao scanned the living room but didn't see Qiao Anxia. She waited for Lu Jinnian to answer a few of Father Qiao's questions before asking, "Where's sis? Not at home?"

"Xia Xia is upstairs, I'll call her..." Mother Qiao answered with a smile. Just as she stood up, Qiao Anhao saw her sister in a light blue, long sleeved knitted dress walk down the stairs.
