Qiao Anhao stopped in her tracks, stunned by the random command "Go and take a bath". She turned and was about to "Huh?" in response but was stopped by Lu Jinnian's expression. At some point, his expression had grown distant, his gaze cold. Even the surrounding air seemed to have gone cold.
Qiao Anhao opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She just stood there, unmoving.
Lu Jinnian pressed his lips together, his hands clenched tightly as though desperately suppressing his emotions. After about ten seconds of no movement, he spoke again, his voice laced with fury, "Didn't you hear me? Go and bathe! Or are you expecting me to bathe you?"
Lu Jinnian's voice turned savaged towards the end, not giving Qiao Anhao any room for objection. She trembled slightly, stumbled backwards. Turning, she hurriedly walked into the bathroom.
