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. "Everyone in this world exists to find their other half, I think 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 wish for much, I just hope that we can be together.

"I’m not that good with words either, I just wish to say that for the next fifty years, I could still love you like I do right now.

"For the rest of my life, there won’t be anyone else I would love as much as I love you.

"You have no idea how hard I have been trying to approach you ever since the first day we met.

"I have many dreams, but all of them are of you. I have many wishes, but all of them are to be with you. I hope for a lot, but all of it is for you to love me."
