Chapter 1129  : She’s Carrying Lu Nanze’s Child (5)

Early next morning.

After breakfast, Qiao Lian was about to leave the house when Shen Liangchuan came out and said, “I’ll take you to work.”

Qiao Lian said, “But you don’t have a car.”

This was Suzhou. Where was he going to get a car and take her to work?

As she said these words, the door of the garage in the courtyard slowly opened and, at once, a brand new Audi appeared before her eyes.

Surprised, Qiao Lian asked, “When did you buy a car?”

“Yesterday afternoon.”

Qiao Lian was speechless.

As they drove away, they saw that Lu Nanze’s chauffeur had turned up to pick Qiao Lian up for work.

The chauffeur was stumped when he saw that Qiao Lian had gotten into another car and they were now driving away. He immediately called Lu Nanze, “Mr. Lu, erm… Best Actor Shen has just driven away with Ms. Qiao to take her to work, so I-”

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Since swallowing the crab roe dumplings the day before, his mouth had been swollen. Right now it was still burning and itching, making him feel most uncomfortable.

He winced as he got to his feet and said, “I know. You may go now.”

“Yes.”

After hanging up, Lu Nanze went to change.

Someone walked in to inform him, “Mr. Lu, the family physician will be here soon.”

Because of his allergy, Lu Nanze had been put on a drip at home for two days and that had helped to reduce the swelling.

He had initially planned to be away from the office these two days, but he hadn’t expected there would be this unforeseen event.

The action of Shen Liangchuan taking Qiao Lian to work made him conscious of the possibility that, if he missed his opportunity now, he may end up missing the boat forever.

The deal he had with Shen Liangchuan was a month.

Two days of a month were too precious, so he had to rush to the office. He told the housekeeper in response, “Ask him to come back tonight.”

Then he headed towards the front door. Just as he approached it, he stopped in front of the dressing mirror.

His gaze fell on his lips.

They were swollen, thick and red. They were slightly better than looking like sausages, but they honestly still were still a rather strange sight. Lu Nanze furrowed his brow.

As the company’s CEO, he couldn’t possibly present such an image in the office. Hence, he turned towards the housekeeper and said, “Get me a mask.”

By the time Lu Nanze arrived at the office, Shen Liangchuan’s car pulled up as well.

Both their cars met and stopped at the same time. After a short pause, Lu Nanze opened his car door and stepped out of the vehicle.

He walked up to Shen Liangchuan’s car and knocked on the window.

At the same time, the door of the front passenger seat was pushed open. Qiao Lian emerged from the car.

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Liangchuan, saying, “Thanks for taking the trouble of taking Qiao Lian to work.”

He spoke as though Shen Liangchuan was an outsider, as though he, Lu Nanze, was her rightful husband. It was downright repulsive.

Especially when Shen Liangchuan knew that Qiao Lian had regained her memory, yet he had to play along and send her right into the hands of his love rival. That utter discomfort he was feeling…

Shen Liangchuan looked at Lu Nanze icily and replied, “Having my wife work at your company, please take good care of her.”

“There’s nothing to worry about, really. Qiao Lian and I were childhood lovers and we grew up together. Of course I will take good care of her.”

He especially emphasized the words “take good care.”

There, with the car between them, the two men got into a verbal sparring.
