Chapter 1128: She’s Carrying Lu Nanze’s Child (4)
“Pregnant?” Lu Nanze was sitting on his sofa at home when he received the news.
He had not fully recovered from the allergic reaction, hence his lips were still purple and slightly swollen.
He raised an eyebrow when he heard the news from Zhao Yang and said with a mocking tone, “Congratulations, you’re going to be a father.”
Not daring to even breathe, Zhao Yang lowered his head in silence.
Lu Nanze stood on his feet and rubbed his chin. He paced back and forth a few times and eventually looked at Zhao Yang, asking, “Zhao Yang, do you want the child?”
Zhao Yang was stunned by the question. “Sir, you mean—”
“If you want the child, then keep it. If not, then ask the doctor to abort it.”
The emotionless words were as cold as ice.
Zhao Yand shuddered and looked at Lu Nanze. He saw the disdain in the man’s eyes.
It had always been like this.
Mr. Lu had never liked Qiao Yiyi.
The interest and affection were only one-sided.
Zhao Yang lowered his head and said, “She- she wishes to see you.”
“I’m not seeing her,” Lu Nanze said without the slightest hesitation as he walked back to the sofa and sat down. “You may leave.”
Zhao Yang nodded, turned around and headed towards the door.
After he had taken two steps, he heard Lu Nanze call out, “Hang on.”
Zhao Yang turned around, thinking that Lu Nanze had changed his mind. But unexpectedly, he said instead, “Have you arranged for someone to pick Qiao Lian up from work tomorrow?”
Zhao Yang replied, “Yes, I have.”
“Good. And the reservation for lunch has been made?”
“Yes, it has.”
“Good, that’s all. You may go.”
Zhao Yang paused as he stood there for a moment. Then, with a “yes,” he turned and left.
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Nanze’s head was filled with thoughts of how to hit on a girl. Xiao Qiao had always liked lilies, so should he buy her a diamond lily locket?
The housekeeper walked in as he was thinking this and said, “Mr. Lu, Mr. and Mrs Qiao are here.”
When he heard the words Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, he frowned immediately. He knew why they were here.
All these years, every time Qiao Yiyi made him angry, this would happen.
He said immediately, “I don’t wish to see them!”
The housekeeper nodded. She turned around but after she had taken two steps, Lu Nanze spoke again, “Wait.”
She turned around.
Looking at the housekeeper, his lips suddenly turned upwards into a sarcastic smile. He said to her, “Take them to see Qiao Yiyi.”
“Yes.”
An hour later, Zhao Yang returned. He lowered his head and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Qiao took Qiao Yiyi away. They said they’ll take her home and care for her. After all, she’s pregnant.”
Lu Nanze’s gaze was fixed straight ahead. He nodded and mumbled a faint “uh-huh” when he heard this.
Zhao Yang looked up at him again.
Lu Nanze’s face was expressionless, but Zhao Yang found that look strangely terrifying.
For so many years, Lu Nanze had accommodated himself to the Qiao family, but what was the reason for it?
Knowing what he was like, he could have just swept Qiao Yiyi aside. Why did Lu Nanze make him sleep with Qiao Yiyi and in the process mislead her?
It was as though he was pacifying Qiao Yiyi and her family.
