Chapter 1137: She’s Carrying Lu Nanze’s Child (13)
Qiao Lian quickly lowered her head and pretended that she hadn’t heard a thing. She continued eating.
But oddly, she found herself distracted.
Lu Nanze had always been a quick and firm decision-maker, and he acted based on worldly wisdom. Among friends, he always defended his position. People pursued and feared him, and he had no particular patience with anything.
But although this was the case, when he turned back to face Qiao Lian after hanging up, he went back to the calm demeanor he had had before the call, as though he had all the patience in the world for her.
His style of working had always been to use force and suppression. Just like when he found out she was pregnant, he had thought of all ways and means to have the child aborted.
But now, he seemed to have patience to have lunch with her and spend time with her.
Seeing this side of Lu Nanze somehow caused her to feel a strange pain in her heart.
If he kept being evil, perhaps she could stay cool-headed.
But this sudden change in him made her feel a little cruel.
She lowered her head and kept eating while she thought this.
Actually, perhaps it was unfair to blame him for what had happened to her parents at that time. After all, he had only been nineteen years old and still a child.
However, it so happened that the heavens had put them on the same side.
Scenes of the years that had gone by flashed through her mind.
She shook her head.
What are you thinking, Qiao Lian?
He is your enemy, how could you soften your heart?
She immediately took a deep breath and tried to suppress the dull ache in her heart. She lowered her head and continued to eat.
After taking a few mouthfuls of food, she suddenly heard a strange sound.
She looked up immediately and saw that Lu Nanze had turned quite pale. His brow was tightly knitted and he looked ill.
Qiao Lian was stunned and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Frowning, Lu Nanze answered after a pause, “The take-out you got… There was some crab roe in it. I’m allergic to seafood.”
Qiao Lian was shocked by what he said.
She sprang up from her seat and walked to Lu Nanze. She noticed that his lips were now looking worse than they did in the morning.
Furthermore, tiny red spots had appeared around his neck.
Qiao Lian: …
So had Shen Liangchuan already thought of the possibility that Lu Nanze would eat that food when he ordered it? Hence, he had sneakily ordered some food that one couldn’t tell had crab roe in it.
This guy was evil!
She grimaced, quickly stood up and looked at Lu Nanze. She said, “Why don’t we quickly give Zhao Yang a call and get him to take you to the hospital?”
Lu Nanze was feeling quite ill by now. He felt like there were 10 000 ants crawling all over him, all he wanted right now was a cold shower.
He could only nod at Qiao Lian’s suggestion.
Even though he was unwilling, he picked up the cell phone and dialed Zhao Yang’s number.
Half an hour later, Zhao Yang arrived. Lu Nanze pointed at Qiao Lian and instructed, “Take her safely back to the office.”
Zhao Yang nodded immediately.
After this, Lu Nanze took a deep breath and left with Zhao Yang.
After Qiao Lian had eaten, the chauffeur took her back to the office.
Upon arriving at the office building, Qiao Lian got out of the car and was about to enter the building when she suddenly heard a voice from afar, calling her, “Qiao Lian?”
