Chapter 1681: Where is Traceless? (1)
When Liang Liang saw this, he cast his gaze down. He turned around and walked out with Bai Anan.
Once they were gone, Qiao Yiyi finally sighed in relief.
Seeing how stunned the family physician was by what had happened, she lowered her head and went upstairs quietly.
Upstairs, Lu Nanze had already gone into his study.
Qiao Yiyi sneaked around and saw that he was behind his desk reading some doc.u.ments.
She was relieved at once.
It looked like Lu Nanze was no longer pursuing the matter about Traceless. It meant closure for last night’s episode.
Hopefully.

After Liang Liang and Bai Anan had left Lu Nanze’s house and reached a quiet corner, Liang Liang shook Bai Anan off.
She paused and turned back to look at him.
He said, “It’s too warm. Let’s get into the car.”
But Bai Anan was hurt by that gesture of rejection.
She clenched her fists tightly. After a moment, she took a deep breath and followed Liang Liang.
The two of them walked to the car.
As they did so, Bai Anan suddenly spoke, “Brother Liang, you still can’t forget her?”
She did not name the person she was referring to, but both of them knew who she was talking about.
Liang Liang halted. After a brief pause, he turned to Bai Anan and said, “Stop speaking nonsense.”
She gave a frosty laugh and replied, “How is that nonsense? Obviously you haven’t forgotten her! You’re my boyfriend now, how could you have someone else in your heart all the time?!”
Liang Liang frowned and said, “Bai Anan, I’m doing a job, stop overthinking.”
“I’m overthinking?!”
Pointing at herself, Bai Anan said, “I truly wish I were overthinking it! Your eyes when you talked about her then said everything. And when you saw Madam Lu, it was in your expression too! Let me think… Oh, that’s right, Traceless and Madam Lu are alike. Both of them are pet.i.te.”
Bai Anan suddenly paused after she said this.
Liang Liang was all the more stunned. He stared at her and asked, “You also thought that Madam Lu’s body resembled hers?”
But as soon as he had said this, he laughed bitterly and denied it, “How could it be her? She’s so impressive and high-profiled. Everyone knows Madam Lu is actually the Qiao family’s illegitimate daughter. That’s why she has such a timid and weak personality. We are thinking too much about it.”
“So now you feel it’s a pity she isn’t?” Bai Anan raised her voice uncontrollably.
Liang Liang frowned and said, “Bai Anan, I’m just stating things as they are!”
“Stating things as they are! Liang Liang, how could you treat me this way? You-” By now, her eyes had reddened.
Unwilling to pacify her, Liang Liang walked to the other side of the car and opened the door. “Are you getting in?”
She felt a chill in her heart.
She bit her lip, eventually stamped her foot and got into the car.
Liang Liang kept silent as he started the engine.
Bai Anan turned to look out of the window.
The two of them kept quiet for a long time, until Liang Liang finally said, “Bai Anan, give me some time.”
Now the tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Liang Liang lowered his head and said, “I admit it, I just can’t forget her.”
As she sobbed and choked on her tears, she realized that the car was heading in an unexpected direction. “Where are you going?” she asked.
“Beijing. To look for Shen Liangchuan and ask him a few questions.”
