Chapter 1133 - She’s Carrying Lu Nanze’s Child (9)

Qiao Lian’s heart skipped a beat. Had she aroused his suspicion?

As soon as she had this thought, Lu Nanze asked, “Speak up, what were you doing?”

Her fingers curled into a tight fist immediately and she bit her lip. Her posture was as straight as a pencil, and her fingers clenched tightly around her cell phone in her pocket.

The moment something didn’t look right, she had to call Shen Liangchuan and get him to rescue her.

She could hardly breathe now as she looked at Lu Nanze steadily.

Her mind raced at top speed, thinking of a good excuse for this behavior. Then she saw Lu Nanze getting up on his feet.

Her pupils shrank back immediately as she eyed him guardedly.

But the next moment, Lu Nanze said slowly, “So you also know how to be afraid? Then why did you make a fool out of me?”

Qiao Lian: ...

What?!

Did Lu Nanze mean...

She couldn’t be sure as she stood on the spot, stupefied. Lu Nanze finally sighed and said, “Are you trying to help him? So after embarrassing me, you don’t dare to come up here and instead go around sneaking and peeping.”

Qiao Lian was reeling from the turn of events.

This way of looking at it seemed logical too.

At once, she was relieved and stared back at Lu Nanze blankly.

The way he had said it had almost frightened her to death.

She immediately laughed once, and then another time, and said, “Yes, that’s true.”

As she was saying this, Lu Nanze was already striding towards her. He stood before her and his large frame loomed over her threateningly. She couldn’t help but take a step backward. He spoke slowly as he asked, “Qiao Lian, why do you want to help Shen Liangchuan?”

Why did she want to help Shen Liangchuan?

She bit her lip and blinked a couple of times. Then she began to put on an act, “Because... he is my husband!”

Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank back and he probed, “You remember something about it?”

Qiao Lian shook her head and continued, “No, but think about it. You’re saying I love you, but he’s saying that I love him. If I really do love you and I’m even carrying your child, then he’s quite pitiful. And if he’s the one I like, then it’s only natural that I help him. It’s reasonable!”

Lu Nanze sighed in obvious relief.

This preposterous argument was a little far-fetched, but that was very much like Qiao Lian.

Her thinking had always been a little different.

“Also...”

Lu Nanze immediately looked at her again when she started.

She pouted as she lamented, “When I said that my hand was going to break from your grip, you didn’t even let go! Shen Liangchuan was the one who let go first. Of course I’d help him! He knew how to show concern for me.”

When Lu Nanze heard this, he laughed at once and said, “You- I know very well how much strength I was using on you. It wasn’t painful at all! Why should I let go?”

Qiao Lian: ...

However, with an underlying nervousness, he asked her, “So who do you like now?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

While he asked this, he looked at Qiao Lian intently, as though afraid to hear an answer that he didn’t wish to hear.

Qiao Lian tilted her head and contemplated it for a moment. Then she finally said, “I don’t know. I feel that I like the both of you?”

The answer made Lu Nanze feel like punching a wall.

But at the same time, something was stirred deep in his heart.
