Chapter 1790  : Did They Think She Was a Weakling? (20)

Qiao Yiyi: …

She had just begun to get into the role, the amorous words just flowing out of her in an endless stream. It was easy to be generous with lies.

But she wasn’t done, there was still more that she wanted to say, so why had the man stopped her suddenly?

Really. Now she had to swallow all the unspoken words and they had nowhere to go, causing a congestion in her chest that was most uncomfortable.

She took a deep breath in an attempt to ease this feeling, and then got into bed.

This should have done the trick.

After all, the story that she had just related was a true story.

Except that the girl who was bullied hadn’t been her.

She had just happened to have been having breakfast at that bean curd stall when she had witnessed the incident.

Since Lu Nanze had a very angular profile, she still remembered him.

In addition, when Lu Nanze had later on reached a high position in the world of organized crime, she had seen his picture and recalled that incident years ago.

Now was an opportune time to bring up this incident, for Lu Nanze would surely not suspect anything fishy.

Furthermore, how romantic was the idea that he had saved her and now she was repaying him with her life?

In hindsight, she felt that this was good enough to make an incredible romance novel.

Qiao Yiyi broke into a smile at this thought.

She lay flat on the bed.

Too much had happened today and she was a little exhausted.

However, she was not used to having someone else in the room, especially in a hospital at night, it was too quiet. She could even hear the man breathing.

It wasn’t that the man breathed loudly at all, but it was magnified too many times in the darkness of this room.

She found herself breathing in that same rhythm.

But… she still couldn’t get to sleep.

She turned. Then she heard the man turning too.

But because his leg was injured, his attempt at turning seemed to fail.

She listened with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

After a while, she heard him call her softly, “Hey.”

Qiao Yiyi did not move.

Lu Nanze frowned and spoke again, “Are you asleep?”

She stayed very still.

The man snorted and said, “Stop pretending.”

Qiao Yiyi: …

She knew she couldn’t continue to pretend. She could only turn to look at him and say, “Mr. Lu, is there anything you need? I- I am feeling a little embarrassed after telling you my feelings.”

Lu Nanze: …

The man frowned, once again dumbfounded by her words.

Qiao Yiyi discovered something.

He was normally domineering. However, since he never got involved in emotional matters, no one had ever been this direct and deeply affectionate in confessing their feelings to him.

Hence every time she spoke about such things, he would be completely disoriented.

This man was really quite adorable.

Qiao Yiyi grinned in the dark.

The next moment, she heard the man demand, “Help me go to the toilet!”

Qiao Yiyi: …!!

The girl replied, “Can’t you do it yourself?”

“What do you think?”

“But- but we don’t have the same gender.”

“You’re my wife.”

“We’re a fake couple.”

“You said you like me.” Lu Nanze’s tone changed as he snorted frostily and said, “Since you like me to the extent that you would repay me with your life, then why do you have so much to object to when I’m just asking for help to get to the toilet?!”

Qiao Yiyi: …!!
