Bringing the Nation's Husband Home

"But Mr. Lu, this was found in the back of your car by the cleaning staff."     

The voice recorder belonged to either Qiao Anhao or Qiao Anxia... Lu Jinnian frowned, stopping his movement. He reached out and took the voice recorder before walking towards the elevator.     

After returning back to Huan Ying Entertainment, he started working on the pile of urgent documents that were stacked on his desk. By the time he was done, it was already 4.30 pm.     

He lifted his head to massage his temples before slouching back into his chair. He sat silently, resting for about five minutes before straightening to open his laptop. Just then, he caught sight of the voice recorder that was placed on his desk.     

He stared at the voice recorder, hesitating slightly before reaching out to grab it.     

This voice recorder seemed rather worn out, it was probably bought a while ago.     

Lu Jinnian's grip on the voice recorder tightened, his thumbs circling it. He couldn't seem to figure out who it belonged to. One couldn't help but be curious of the unknown. Even though Lu Jinnian knew that he had to return the voice recorder, he still couldn't help but press the play button.     

There was a buzzing sound before a clear voice came through, about ten seconds later, Lu Jinnian heard a familiar voice calling a familiar name. "Qiao Qiao, what did you say?"     

It was Xu Jiamu's voice, it was deep and soulful, pleasing to the ears.     

Qiao Anhao's reply didn't come through, instead, the buzzing sound took over. After a long while, Xu Jiamu's impatient voice came through again, "Qiao Qiao, hurry and tell me what you were saying. Why do you need to close the door?"     

"Wow, you're serving me water?"     

"Jiamu, can you be serious. I have something important to tell you." Qiao Anhao's voice finally came through.     

"Sure sure, I'll be serious." Xu Jiamu's indulgent voice came through, he even coughed seriously before continuing, "I'm serious now, you can say whatever you want, I'm all ears."     

There was a moment of silence before Qiao Anhao begun speaking in her warm voice. "There’s a saying whereby everyone is on earth to await their other half, I believe that mine has appeared and that's you."     

Lu Jinnian froze as he stared at the voice recorder blankly.     

Xu Jiamu didn't respond, instead, Qiao Anhao's voice came through sentence by sentence.     

"I don't have big dreams, I just wish for us to be together.     

"I'm also not that good with words, but I wish to let you know that in the next fifty years I will still love you as much as I do right now.     

"I believe that in this life, there won't be anyone else I can love as much as I love you.     

"You might not know this but since the day I met you, everything I did was to be near you.     

I have many dreams but all of them are about you. I have many desires and they all are to be with you. I have made many wishes and all of them are for you to love me."
