Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sudden halt threw both Qiao Lian and Lu Nanze forward in the car.
She felt her body being lifted in the air and knew it was going to hurt once she ca back down.
Just as she thought that her head was going to crash, she heard a muffled sound.
When she was finally able to lift her head to look, she found that Lu Nanze had used his own chest as a barrier to shield her from the impact.
The next mont, she heard soone knocking on the car window.
She turned around sharply and saw Shen Liangchuan through the window. He stood there with a severe expression on his face.
His appearance was like a godsend—a saviour! Qiao Lian imdiately plastered herself against the window and shouted, “Shen Liangchuan! I’m here!”
Her action aggravated Lu Nanze, however.
With an upward turn of his lips, he looked at her and sneered, “Why? Who’s this barbarian?”
Barbarian?
Qiao Lian bit her lip, pushed him aside suddenly and forced the chauffeur to wind down the car window.
As the window rolled down, Shen Liangchuan’s handso but impassive face ca into view.
At that mont...
Shen Liangchuan had changed out of his historical costu to et with the investor. Hence, he was wearing a black suit, which made him look stunningly smart and eminent.
Yet his icy and lofty deanor made him all at once distant and otherworldly.
Inside the car...
Lu Nanze’s hair was sleeked back, and his alluring and delicately chiseled face, while exuding a demonic charm, also made him look rather sinister.
One icily aloof, the other sinisterly charming.
As their eyes t, sparks of fury flew.
Holding Qiao Lian down with a tight grip around her shoulder, Lu Nanze looked at Shen Liangchuan. “Mr. Shen, how may I help you?”
Shen Liangchuan was a nationally known Best Actor.
His face was a familiar all over China.
It wasn’t surprising that Lu Nanze knew who he was.
Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down with little expression on his face. “Let her go.”
Lu Nanze raised an eyebrow and remarked, “Why? Mr. Shen, do you have a habit of minding other people’s business?”
Shen Liangchuan’s gaze shifted to the man’s arm, that was placed around his wife’s shoulder.
If looks could kill, by now that arm would have already been pierced by countless arrows.
But it wasn’t what it seed.
The way he had his arm around her, one could think that he was taking advantage of her... Furthermore, one could even think that he was trying to restrain her.
If Shen Liangchuan made any move, Lu Nanze might just harm Qiao Lian.
The man’s gaze shifted between Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian a few tis.
He asked after pausing for a mont, “And what is your relationship?”
Shen Liangchuan was about to say sothing when Qiao Lian quickly interrupted, “There’s no relationship between us!”
Shen Liangchuan held his tongue the mont she made this remark.
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and paused. After a mont, he said unhurriedly, “Well, so how may I help you, Mr. Shen?
Shen Liangchuan glanced at Qiao Lian again, and this ti she bit her lip and said, “Second Brother, we should go.”
At her words, Lu Nanze gave a cold half-smile.
He raised his hand and lightly patted her head, saying, “Good girl.”
The car window rolled back up.
Steadily, the chauffeur started the car engine.
Through the window, Qiao Lian could see Shen Liangchuan’s determined expression as he stood there, watching them depart.
She bit her lip. Her emotions were giving way to despair, hopelessness and, at the sa ti, anxiety.
Suzhou was but a short distance from where they were, and it was Lu Nanze’s territory.
If Shen Liangchuan got into a conflict with him, there would be no easy way out.
As these thoughts were running through her mind, the chauffeur spoke, “Mr. Lu, that car is trailing us.”
