Qiao Anhao had wanted to explain herself, that in just a few days she would divorce Xu Jiamu, so by then, she would be able to date Lu Jinnian if she wanted.
But she was still considered Xu Jiamu's wife. If she were to continue interacting with Lu Jinnian now, she wouldn't be able to clarify herself.
Qiao Anhao decided to steer clear of problems and nodded her head compliantly. "I understand, I was wrong. Me and Lu Jinnian are just classmates, there's nothing between us."
Mother Qiao finally calmed her heavy heart after hearing the reassurances. She chatted with Qiao Anhao for a bit more, mostly emphasizing on how to be a good wife. Then Qiao Anhao followed mother Qiao down to apologize to Han Ruchu, promising that such an incident would not happen again.
Since the Qiao and Xu families had close business ties, Han Ruchu forgave her even if she still felt unhappy.
