Chapter 1146: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (2)

“You’re leaving right now?” Lu Nanze sounded a little hurt. “You’ve rushed all the way here to bring me this document, so I should buy you lunch to reward your effort, don’t you think?”
Qiao Lian: …
“I’ve asked the housekeeper to cook today. They know my taste, so there won’t be crab roe for sure.”
Qiao Lian insisted, “I like crab roe!”
“You’re pregnant. It’s better to eat less of that.”
What more could she say?
If she insisted on leaving in a hurry, that may arouse his suspicion.
At this thought, Qiao Lian looked at the time. It was 11:30 a.m., lunch time.
The food couldn’t possibly be poisoned.
Hence, she walked to the dining area.
At the same time, Lu Nanze also went there with his drip and sat at the table. He looked at Qiao Lian as she ate, picking out food every now and then and placing it in her bowl. Then he continued to stare at her.
She found the gawking intolerable and it became impossible to eat. Placing her chopsticks back on the table, she asked, “Why are you looking at me?”
“Looking at how beautiful you are.”
Qiao Lian: …
“Qiao Lian, you’ve grown more beautiful over the years.”
Qiao Lian: …
“Qiao Lian, do you remember we said we’d go to the same university? Which university did you go to in the end?”
She replied, “… I don’t remember.”
She wouldn’t be so easily tricked into saying the wrong thing.
At this point, her cell phone rang.
She quickly picked up the call and heard Shen Liangchuan’s voice on the other end. “Qiao Lian, Mom is here. Can you take a leave this afternoon and come home?”
Her eyes lit up at once and she replied, “Alright, I’ll be home in a while.”
After hanging up, she said to Lu Nanze, “It seems my mother-in-law is here, so I have to hurry home.”
Having said this, she stood up and got ready to leave.
Lu Nanze, however, grabbed her hand and said, “Qiao Lian, I’m feeling unwell and you don’t even care? I’m not going to let you leave then, even if your mother-in-law is here.”
Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment. How could she have forgotten that Lu Nanze was her boss?
However…
She sighed and said, “Look, I’ve cheated on her son, shouldn’t I at least keep up appearances? I feel terribly conscious and guilty about Shen Liangchuan.”
Lu Nanze’s eyes brightened at once when he heard these words.
Only when one couldn’t be another person would they feel guilty.
Hence, it seemed like Qiao Lian was beginning to take to himself? She wanted to leave Shen Liangchuan to be with him?
This hint extremely delighted Lu Nanze and he broke into a smile. “Fine, but you have to come to work tomorrow.”
“No problem.”
“Shall I get someone to take you home?”
“Oh, no, no, it would be hard for me to explain if someone took me home. I feel that we should avoid doing anything that would arouse suspicion!”
When Lu Nanze heard the phrases “hard for me to explain” and “avoid doing anything that would arouse suspicion,” he was even more delighted and immediately granted her request.
Qiao Lian secretly sighed in relief, put on her coat and headed out of the house.
After exiting the house and as she was about to walk ahead, she suddenly heard a car honk sound from that direction.
She halted in surprise when she saw the car window rolling down and Shen Liangchuan’s scowling face emerging from within.
Tensed and stressed since the moment she had entered Lu Nanze’s office, it was at this point that she finally found relief.
She took a deep breath, looked left and right, and got into the car without another word.
