Lu Jinnian chuckled lightly as he gazed at the tiny woman across the screen . Leisurely, he added, "Mmh, a dumb puppy I love . "

A dumb puppy I love . . . Qiao Anhao felt as though a feather had brushed across the most sensitive part of her heart, and she floated on a cloud . Her gaze flickered around continuously .  

Even though he had called her a puppy, oh wait, a dumb puppy . . . But deep inside, she still felt warm and cuddly . . . Is she becoming a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t? 

Qiao Anhao had wanted to keep a straight face and act mad, but she couldn't help her lips from tilting upwards .  "Lu Jinnian, are you confessing to me right now?" 

Lu Jinnian chuckled once more, without answering her question, he asked, "What do you think?"

I think that you are .  

Qiao Anhao replied silently before placing the empty milk bottle on the table beside her . She glanced up at the time, it was already midnight .  

It should be 11 am where he was and he had a meeting at 3pm . . . Ever since he left yesterday, he had been working relentlessly . . .

Qiao Anhao lifted her lids, and through the screen, she glanced at Lu Jinnian .  "Aren't you sleeping?" 

"Hmm… A while more…"

After a long flight and a meeting that lasted the whole night, he was worn out, but talking to her peacefully like that allowed him to unwind and relax, which was far more nouris.h.i.+ng than sleeping alone .  

"It's a long distance video call, it's going to be expensive . Besides, I was the one who called, the call might suddenly cut off due to insufficient funds," Qiao Anhao nagged .  

Lu Jinnian slouched against the pillow lazily, he held his phone and started to type away silently .  

Qiao Anhao could only hear the tapping sound made when as he tapped his phone .  

"What are you doing?" Qiao Anhao asked curiously .  "Talking to someone?"

"Mmh . " Lu Jinnian was clearly distracted .

Just then, Qiao Anhao's phone vibrated . Two messages popped up on her screen .  

It was from Telco company, stating that her account had been charged twice, each of the sums going up to five digits . The other message was the new balance in her account which was up to six digits .  

Qiao Anhao startled .  

"Has it reached?" 

That's when it dawned on her .  "You were charging my account just now?" 

Lu Jinnian lifted a brow . He remained silent but his actions confirmed her guess .  

So this was what it meant when happiness and bliss came by .  

There were some things that she had wanted to tell him when he was back, but right now she could no longer keep it in .  

"Er . . . Lu Jinnian, if you really can't sleep, can I tell you a story?"

"Sure," Lu Jinnian replied without hesitation . "I'm all ears . " 

Qiao Anhao smiled, then added, "Give me a moment, I'll tell you when I'm upstairs . "

"Mmh . "

Qiao Anhao ran up the stairs into the bedroom . Mimicking Lu Jinnian, she propped up a pillow and slouched back, hugging onto the blanket .  "I'm going to start now . " 

Lu Jinnian chuckled lightly as he gazed at the tiny woman across the screen . Leisurely, he added, "Mmh, a dumb puppy I love . " . . .
