Chapter 1154  : He Actually Likes Her This Much… (10)

On that note, Qiao Yiyi’s expression changed immediately.

Glaring at Qiao Lian, she asked, “What do you mean?”

Qiao Lian smirked and said, “According to your reasoning, I stole something just because I was in the office. Well, you were alone in the office as well, so why couldn’t it have been you who stole?

Qiao Yiyi shouted angrily, “Lies! How would it be possible that I stole from Second Brother?”

“So why would I touch Lu Nanze’s belongings? You have to give me a valid reason to smear me like this.”

She turned, looked at Lu Nanze and said, “Didn’t you say we were childhood sweethearts and grew up together? So what is this now? Something happens and I get called up here as a suspect. Is this how you show you love me?”

At this point, she raised her finger, pointed at Qiao Yiyi’s stomach and continued, “And this too! Qiao Yiyi has let everyone know she’s pregnant! Lu Nanze, you’re so smart, aren’t you? You even wish to have two women at your service? Let me tell you, no way!”

Having said this, she turned and headed for the door. She added as she left, “I’ve lost my memory, not my intelligence! You two are in cahoots, don’t think I can’t tell!”

She pretended to lose her temper to cover the awkwardness of the situation.

But unexpectedly, just as she crossed the threshold of the door, Lu Nanze suddenly shouted, “Hang on!”

Qiao Lian halted without turning around, but she heard the shifting of the chair. Apparently, Lu Nanze was getting onto his feet. Following this, she heard footsteps coming towards her.

Her chest tightened immediately as she became so nerve-wracked that she lost her voice.

If Lu Nanze grabbed her, how was she going to protect herself and her child?

Kneel down, cry and beg him to let her go? Or threaten to take her own life?

Now Qiao Lian was really scared.

She didn’t know what to do. She was not afraid of death, she only feared harming her unborn child.

Just as she was struggling with this thought, she heard a sudden slap behind her.

The slap was loud and sharp, causing her to tremble involuntarily.

She turned around at once to look.

Qiao Yiyi’s head was tilted to the side and she was clutching her face, staring at Lu Nanze in disbelief.

Lu Nanze’s expression was as dark as a gathering storm.

Qiao Yiyi widened her eyes and said in a shocked and shaking voice, “Second Brother?”

Lu Nanze lowered his head and looked at his hand. He walked to the side and drew out a napkin. After cleaning his hands, he walked to Qiao Lian without even taking another look at Qiao Yiyi and said, “Look at you, why do you have such a bad temper? I had asked you to come here not as a suspect, but for lunch.”

Qiao Lian was speechless.

The situation had changed too fast, she found what Lu Nanze was thinking hard to follow.

Qiao Lian twitched her mouth and looked at Qiao Yiyi again. The woman was still looking at them in shock.

Qiao Lian’s eyes flashed and, suddenly remembering the plan she had agreed with Shen Liangchuan for dealing with Qiao Yiyi, she narrowed her eyes.

After a short pause, she snorted coldly and said, “But this child she’s carrying—”

“Is not mine.”

Those words came firmly and decisively.

It put Qiao Lian at a complete loss for words.

She had not expected Lu Nanze to be this shameless.
