Chapter 1702  : Where On Earth Are You Touching?! (12)

He had no idea why he had walked into the room, but when he saw the empty bed and room, he was surprised.

Qiao Yiyi wasn’t home?

Where could she be at this hour?

He frowned and walked further into the room. Suddenly, he heard a movement outside the window.

He turned around instantaneously. Without turning the lights on, he walked over to the window.

But in the process, he tripped over the leg of a chair in the middle of the room, making a dull thud.

The sound outside stopped at once.

In a flash of realization, he quickened his steps towards the window.

He discovered that the window was unlocked, making it easy for a thief to break in.

Frowning, he looked outside the window, but below was a patch of darkness. It was difficult to make out anything.

He exclaimed with an expression of intense focus on his face, “Who’s there?”

Silence.

He frowned and turned around. Holding up his cell phone, he called the butler.

The moment the butler picked up the call, Lu Nanze asked, “When did Madam leave the house?”

The butler sounded surprised, “Madam has been in her room all this time!”

Lu Nanze gave an icy laugh and replied, “In her room? Why don’t I see her in her room?”

The butler was stumped and answered, “But none of us saw Madam going out.”

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and demanded, “You didn’t see her? So she put on wings and flew away?!”

As he was saying this, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the bathroom.

Lu Nanze paused and turned around to look in that direction.

He hurried over with two quick steps and threw open the bathroom door.

The sight of Qiao Yiyi, standing there with a terrified expression, greeted him.

Her dry, brown hair, timid expression and trembling body.

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and asked, “What’s the matter with you?”

She stared at him, with her arms crossed around her own shoulders, as though she was an abused underaged girl.

With widened eyes, she asked, “What- what were you doing in my room in the middle of the night?”

She looked guarded and this made Lu Nanze twitch his lips. What did she think he was up to?!

He felt nothing looking at her body.

He frowned, but then he heard the butler saying through the phone, “Madam has disappeared? Would you like me to get people to look for her? I’m trying to gather some people now—”

“There’s no need to,” Lu Nanze answered in a monotonous tone before he hung up. After this, he glanced at her and added with a snort, “Can’t you be a little braver?”

She bit her lip, continued to stare at him and said, “I- I-”

She stammered for a long time and eventually fell silent.

He frowned and turned to leave. In fact, he honestly didn’t want to stay a second longer than he needed to.

He despised this woman.

He had even started to wonder why he had picked her for a wife.

He had entirely forgotten the reason for choosing her at the time, which had exactly been because she was timid and obedient.

After checking that Lu Nanze had left, she relaxed the hand that was on her shoulder and sighed in silent relief.

That had been too risky.

She had heard the man when she had been trying to climb up the window. It was fortunate that the bathroom window was not too far away, otherwise, she would surely have been busted.

However after entering through the bathroom, all she had to wear was a sleeping gown that was slightly off-the-shoulder. There was a bandage on her shoulder and, if that had been visible, she would have been busted too.
