Lu Jinnian, after asking, felt as though he was caring too much, so before Qiao Anhao could reply, he added, "You're not needed here, you can go."
Qiao Anhao paled, hurt by his words.
The nanny anxiously helped out. "Mr. Lu, Miss Qiao is here to visit granny. On the night before New Year's, granny got lost while trying to find you, it was Miss Qiao who brought her back..."
Lu Jinnian didn't seem interested in what she was saying. When she finished her sentence, he stated authoritatively, "Send her out."
It was clear that he didn't want her here, it was as though another second with her was a torture to him. Qiao Anhao lowered her lashes in embarrassment, her hands gripping onto her skirt helplessly.
"Mr. Lu..." The nanny wanted to persuade Lu Jinnian, but he was clearly not interested, walking toward the bedroom with large steps.
When he was about to pass Qiao Anhao, she called his name, "Lu Jinnian."
