Chapter 1718: She Is Actually Rather Adorable (8)
Qiao Yiyi quietly acknowledged what the man had said and turned around to continue her way back upstairs.
A regular person couldn’t have heard his last remark but, unfortunately, she was Traceless.
Her hearing was exceptionally sharp and she could even do basic lip reading. Hence, she caught every single word Lu Nanze had just said.
In any case, you won’t be staying long.
The idiot, did he think she wouldd stay if she had a choice?
Clearly, she was a tiger, a predator. But unfortunately, she had to put up with being in a zoo and having people treat her as though she was a domesticated pet now. She was sick of it and had been for some time. If Lu Nanze returned to her the freedom she so yearned for, she would be extremely grateful.
Qiao Yiyi went upstairs and cleaned her wound. Then she found a relatively thick dress that would cover her shoulder and put it on.
It was summer and the weather was hot, so her conservative choice of clothing made her a rather uncomfortable sight.
Hence, when Qiao Yiyi went back downstairs and Lu Nanze noticed this, he was compelled to ask, “You don’t feel hot?”
She quickly said, “No no, no, it’s not hot at all!”
She said it emphatically, trying to convince him that she was indeed not feeling hot.
Even if beads of perspiration had formed on her forehead.
Lu Nanze: …
The man twitched his mouth.
The girl had seemed normal for the past couple days and had been hardly noticeable. It had been easy to overlook her presence automatically.
But today she was suddenly dressed in this ridiculous outfit. Was it because she was scared of him entering her room?
It was so ironic it was funny. With her pathetic body did she really think he would be interested in her?!
Lu Nanze laughed icily to himself.
After he had breakfast with Qiao Yiyi, he got ready to leave the house.
Just as he walked to the front door, the butler entered and announced, “Madam, your brother is here.”
Brother?
Qiao Gang?
She froze for a moment and then timidly looked at Lu Nanze.
The man didn’t even react, he behaved as though he had not heard anything. He simply walked, got into his car and drove away. It looked like he was going to work.
Qiao Yiyi: …
The gemstone that she had stolen in her last a.s.signment was still in Lu Nanze’s car. She pinched herself for not having retrieved it at his villa last night.
She had stolen the object, but didn’t have it with her and couldn’t bring it to the new owner. It was a real pain in the rear!
As she was contemplating returning to the villa one more time tonight, she saw Qiao Gang approaching her. He glanced at her momentarily and broke into a huge grin. “Sister!”
How oddly affectionate.
Qiao Yiyi twitched her lips. She didn’t feel like talking to him at all.
Unfortunately, Qiao Gang was all smiles today. He dashed up to her and said, “Sister, did you manage to get my eight million dollars?
Qiao Yiyi: …
Of course. Only money could make Qiao Gang look this gleeful.
She turned and glanced at Lu Nanze, who was on his way out now.
Surely, he must have heard what Qiao Gang had said. It was obvious he didn’t care at all, so she would have to sort this out by herself.
But would a weak and timid woman like her be able to do anything?
With a quick turn of her mind, she hung her head. She sobbed and said, “But- but I don’t have that much money.”
Immediately, Qiao Gang replied, “You don’t, but Mr. Lu does. Have you mentioned this to Mr. Lu? What did he say? How much money has he prepared for his brother-in-law?”
