Chapter 1706: Where On Earth Are You Touching?! (16)
Qiao Yiyi was at a loss for words when she saw how hungry he was for the information.
Biting her lip, she looked at him and said after a pause, “She’s in Hangzhou.”
Liang Liang was stunned. “Hangzhou?”
“That’s right. I met her online. Because I didn’t have much money, I tried to- That bracelet was all that Mr. Lu cared about, he never looked at me in the eye. I just couldn’t take it anymore.”
Liang Liang looked at her as she lowered her head. His heart softened when he saw how sad she seemed.
Oddly, the normally cold-hearted man had a thought as he stared at the woman.
This woman standing before him had such an uncanny resemblance to Traceless.
Both of them were pet.i.te.
Except that Traceless always held her head up high, making her look perpetually insufferable and haughty.
Whereas Qiao Yiyi was so weak and timid that one felt compelled to protect her.
If only… He was merely wondering that if only…
If only Traceless wasn’t this headstrong, if only she was slightly gentler and a little more compromising towards him, would things have been different?
When this thought struck him, he suddenly liked and felt sympathetic for Qiao Yiyi.
He knew how ruthless a person Lu Nanze was.
He could almost imagine how difficult and sad things were for Qiao Yiyi.
He almost reached out to pat her head, but his hand froze in mid-air as he did so.
He looked at the hand, surprised at his own actions.
This was what he had used to do to Traceless.
The moment he caught himself thinking this, he suddenly realized that he was behaving strangely today. He coughed slightly and tried to comfort her, “Don’t be sad. No matter what, people have feelings. Give him some more time and he will realize how good you are.”
His awkward way of comforting her made her want to laugh out loud.
Qiao Yiyi could not help but smile derisively.
People have feelings?
She had been with Liang Liang for over a year.
But what had been the result?
It was he who had pushed her into this abyss! Forcing her to leave home, so that she now had to remain under the guise of a timid woman—a replacement spouse for Lu Nanze.
So his remark couldn’t be more ironic.
She nodded with an icy smile and said, “Yes, I understand.”
Liang Liang was about to say something more, he wanted to ask a few more questions about Traceless. But he looked at how clueless Qiao Yiyi seemed and decided not to persist.
He even said, “Where this matter is concerned, let’s keep it between you and I and no one else. So do not let Lu Nanze know about it.”
Otherwise, Lu Nanze could very well kill this timid woman.
He wanted to say this. but decided that it might frighten her too much. Hence, he only threw her a glance before leaving.
If Traceless were in Hangzhou, then he would need to track her down before Bai Anan did.
She had already organized a special forces team to search for Traceless and, if the latter ended up in their hands, there was no doubt it would be the end of her.
Liang Liang narrowed his eyes.
Traceless had betrayed him, that was a fact.
But even then he could not let her get hurt.
If she had to go to jail to atone for her crimes, so be it, but she must not be killed by Bai Anan.
That was right, he had wanted to help Traceless for this reason only. It could only be for this reason.
