Lu Jinnian tightened his arms around Qiao Anhao . After a very long time, he lowered his head towards her ear and spoke in a low, magnetic tone .  "Qiao Qiao, thank you . I'll use my entire life to treat you well . "

Thank you for loving me .

Thank you for being my wife .

Thank you for bearing my child .  

No amount of words is able to express my grat.i.tude, I will use the rest of my life to pamper you .  

For the rest of my life .  

Such an extravagant proclamation but when it came from Lu Jinnian, Qiao Anhao could trust it .  

She circled her arms around his waist .  

The night surrounded them as they embraced in silence .  

After a seemingly long time, Lu Jinnian broke the serenity .  "Qiao Qiao, you mustn't tell our baby that I once wanted to make you eat contraceptives . . . "

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt her glare and quickly diverted the topic .  "Qiao Qiao, your performance today was amazing . "

Qiao Anhao never knew that the lofty Lu Jinnian would have such a side . A suppressed chuckle escaped her lips as she recalled the scandal that had erupted before the finale . Curiously, she asked, "Lu Jinnian, did you really invest in that Hollywood movie . " 

"Yea, Lucy's husband is one of the directors . We pushed it together through the initial stages . " Lu Jinnian elaborated before adding, "It was the main reason I went to America . " 

Qiao Anhao remembered the email he had written to his a.s.sistant before leaving, he had instructed him to help her become the screen queen .  "Lu Jinnian, did you tamper with the results? There was after all a scandal in the midst of the compet.i.tion . "

"I didn't," Lu Jinnian a.s.sured . He then added warmly, "I promise you that all your results are because of your own performances . "

He paused for a while before confessing, "Qiao Qiao, I had wanted to give you a hand but only for the finale . I fully believed that with your abilities, you could easily go pa.s.s the preliminary rounds, but I never expected you to do so well in the finale . Your performance won over all the judges and left the audience in awe . "

It was the first time Lu Jinnian had praised her so sincerely, and she could feel herself flush red . She buried her face into his embrace . Without shame, she proclaimed "Lu Jinnian, I'm so amazing!"

When Cheng Yang woke up at 1am, he realized that Qiao Anxia was awake . She had on her earphones and had her back towards him as she stared at her phone .  

The screen was bright, the rays spilling onto her white skin, making it appear brighter than usual .  

"Xia Xia," Cheng Yang called out but since she had on her earphones, she didn't hear him . He sat up and turned towards her .  

Cheng Yang had excellent vision, so even though he was a distance away from her screen, he could clearly see that she was watching Lu Jinnian's interview from the afternoon before .  

His face fell, turning cold .
