You Are My Unforgettable Love

Chapter 1160: He Actually Likes Her This Much... (16)

There was no hesitation. He said this firmly and decisively, and it was obvious that he spoke straight from his heart.

But this stunned Qiao Lian again.

She stared straight at the door before her, as though she could see right through it, see the two men in the room.

Through Lu Nanze’s determined words, she saw his sincerity.

But the next moment, she couldn’t help laughing.

Sincerity?

How could that possibly come from someone in the Lu family?

When Dad Lu heard his son’s words, he was infuriated. “What nonsense are you speaking? What’s good about that silly girl? Lu Nanze, I’m here today to inform you that you’re to get ready to marry Qiao Yiyi.”

The man stared at his father through narrowed eyes and gave an icy laugh. “Dad, in my heart and mind, she’s better than anything. I will not agree to this marriage.”

Dad Lu was livid by now. “You—”

Before he could say another word, Lu Nanze was coldly pointing at the door and saying, “You may leave now.”

“You unfilial son, you’re actually asking me to leave?”

“This is my workplace. If there’s anything else you wish to say, we’ll wait till I get home.”

Dad Lu said angrily, “Get home? How many days have you not been home?”

Casting his gaze down, the man replied, “I’ll go home today. For now, please leave first.”

Dad Lu said most unwillingly, “In that case, I’ll wait at home for you.”

With a cold humph, he left with his entourage following behind.

After Dad Lu had left, Lu Nanze sat down on his swivel chair with exhaustion. After some time, there was a knock on the door. The junior secretary walked in.

Lu Nanze asked, “Where is Ms. Qiao?”

The secretary paused and answered, “Ms. Qiao? I- I’m not sure.”

Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank as he continued, “Didn’t she leave the room?”

The secretary replied, “I didn’t see that. I only saw Elder Mr. Lu walk in. Wasn’t Ms. Qiao in your office?”

Upon hearing their conversation, Qiao Lian, who was still in the washroom, calmed herself and stepped out. Looking completely nonchalant, she stuck out her head and said softly, like she was up to no good, “Have the people left?”

Lu Nanze: ...

Secretary: ...

The moment he saw her, he recalled the conversation with his father. His pupils shrank as he sprang to his feet.

He stared at Qiao Lian.

He wondered how much of the conversation she had overheard and how much of it had she understood.

He said slowly, narrowing his eyes, “Why are you here?”

She scratched her head a couple of times and replied, “I heard your father coming and I hid! It wouldn’t be good for him to find me here.”

Lu Nanze was silent for a moment.

He gestured to his secretary and she left the office.

He spoke again to Qiao Lian, “How much of the conversation did you hear just then?”

She replied, “I heard everything!”

His pupils shrank at once.

Puzzled, Qiao Lian tilted her head and looked at him, asking, “Does Qiao Yiyi’s family have some sort of information that they can use against your family? Otherwise, why would your father force you to marry her?”

Lu Nanze seized Qiao Lian up with an intense gaze.

He noticed that her blank expression didn’t look fake, and she did not look as though she was pretending.

He hung his head and frowned, saying slowly, “Yes, but don’t worry, it won’t affect our relationship. Give me some time, I will get this matter sorted.”
