Chapter 1726: She Is Actually Rather Adorable (16)
Qiao Yiyi halted, turned around at once and looked at Lu Nanze with a puzzled expression.
Her eyes were clear and glistening, full of sincerity and openness. Lu Nanze’s throat was dry, so the words that he had intended to say finally beca, “Don’t get caught before you complete your assignnt.”
Qiao Yiyi gave a scornful laugh and replied, “Do you think I can get captured so easily?”
Then she turned back and continued walking into the dark night.
As she did so, she suddenly raised an arm and waved at him without turning around.
Her disappearing silhouette carried a sense of uninhibited freedom and unruliness. The man found it wildly attractive and couldn’t help himself from breaking into a broad smile.

After Traceless had left, Lu Nanze got into his car and drove ho.
When he entered the house, he saw Qiao Yiyi sitting there.
He narrowed his eyes and kept silent as he removed his jacket and hung it up. Then he loosened his tie, washed his hands and poured himself a glass of water. He took a sip and walked to the sofa with the intention of resting for a bit.
When Qiao Yiyi saw him enter the house, she had stood up and timidly walked around him to head upstairs.
She had actually just gotten into the house herself and hadn’t had the ti to go upstairs before the man had returned. So instead, she pretended that she had been spending ti downstairs. Now she only wanted to shake off Lu Nanze, go back upstairs and examine the Xu family’s house map.
However, while things were fine as she approached the man, the mont she walked past him, a large hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder. He exclaid, “Hang on!”
Qiao Yiyi halted upon hearing his deep resonant voice and commanding tone. She turned to look at him.
The man had a frown on his face as he looked at her, asking, “Why is there the sll of blood on you?”
Qiao Yiyi: ...!!
Sll of blood?
Oh no.
The infection and dication of her wound slled, that was to be expected.
But would Lu Nanze suspect there was sothing fishy going on because of this?
Qiao Yiyi narrowed her eyes as her mind worked quickly to figure out an answer.
Lu Nanze continued his interrogation, “Are you injured sowhere?”
He had his hand on her shoulder that wasn’t injured but, as he said this, he looked at her injured shoulder.
For the oddest reason, he extended his hand towards it.
Qiao Yiyi quickly retreated and Lu Nanze’s hand froze in mid-air.
Narrowing his eyes, he demanded, “Tell ! What’s the matter?”
Qiao Yiyi looked up with a quick snap of her head and flushed as she started stamring. The man grew impatient and took a step forward, threatening to find out for himself. Then she burst out, “I- I- It’s that ti of the month.”
That ti of the month?
The man had to pause to think for a while before he figured out what she ant. Then he frowned at once.
So it was that.
But could that give off such a strong sll?
That was... incredibly too disgusting.
At this thought, the man impatiently waved her off. “All right then, go back upstairs.”
At once, she nodded and turned around with her head down in sha. She quickly ran upstairs.
Once back in her own room, Qiao Yiyi sighed in relief. Her legs gave way and she dropped on the sofa.
Fortunately, she had this excuse as a girl.
Otherwise, she would have never been able to escape Lu Nanze today.
