Chapter 1717  : She Is Actually Rather Adorable (7)

The moment she said this, Lu Nanze realized what a foolish thing he had done.

Giving Traceless a key was indeed quite a useless gesture.

When this thought struck him, he also started laughing. He didn’t speak further and just put the card key back into his pocket. “That indeed is the case. I have just embarrassed myself.”

Traceless said with a wave of her hand, “I’m fine now. Goodbye.”

On this note, she strode to the door.

Right now, it was already past 4 a.m. and the sky was brightening.

She showed no desire to stay even a little longer, which made Lu Nanze suddenly feel the vastness and emptiness of the villa.

He was suddenly interested in Traceless, and even more curious about her relationship with Liang Liang.

He wondered what had happened between them.

He frowned at this thought.

Then he got to his feet and strode out.

After Qiao Yiyi left the villa and got back to her sports car, she changed out of her black bodysuit and into a checkered dress that made her look exceptionally countrified. Then she drove back to the Lu family villa.

She had not been back all night and wondered if they had been desperately looking for her.

She stayed outside the building and felt troubled for a moment, wondering how it was best to enter the house.

When she had gone out last night, she had left boldly and openly. If she were to return stealthily, it would be difficult to justify this to the security officers at the gate.

Hence, she had to think of a good reason for not having come home last night.

As she contemplated the situation, the headlights of an approaching car shone before her.

She shielded her eyes and, as she turned her head, realized it was Lu Nanze coming home.

She was standing outside the gate now, with her arm raised. Hence upon turning the corner, he saw the girl right before him.

His pupils shrank back as he thought, “Qiao Yiyi?”

Why was she only back now?

This was only a momentary thought and, as quickly as that thought came, it left.

He didn’t really care about her, so why would he care where she had been last night?

He drove past Qiao Yiyi, right up to the main gate.

Automatically sensing and recognizing his car, the gate opened. Then the man drove straight in, as though he had not seen the girl.

Qiao Yiyi: …

She was a live human being standing there, had the man not seen her? Was he blind or something?

But even though she thought this, she still quickly sneaked in and slipped back into the household while the gate was wide open.

When she walked into the living room, Lu Nanze was sitting on the sofa reading the magazine that had just come from the post.

There was already a housekeeper preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Qiao Yiyi coughed and strode to her bedroom upstairs. However, only after she had walked a few steps, Lu Nanze asked, “Where did you go last night?”

Her footsteps halted, as if suspended in midair.

She turned around. Lu Nanze did not look up from the magazine he was reading. He could not be bothered to lift his head to even give her a quick glance.

Unfortunately, even if no one noticed her, she still had to act timid and weak. She lowered her head and stammered, “I- I- I forgot to bring my keys. I—”

“The lock has a digital facial recognition system.” Lu Nanze finally looked up and gave the girl a glance. Then he looked down again and said, “Nevermind. Get a key from the butler. In any case, you won’t be staying long, even if we do include you in the lock system.”
