Chapter 1135: She’s Carrying Lu Nanze’s Child (11)
After Qiao Lian finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Yiyi as though the woman was a retard. Then she turned and walked out.
Qiao Yiyi: …
Biting down her lip, Qiao Yiyi’s eyes followed the girl until she disappeared into the elevator. She spun around and looked at Lu Nanze, calling him, “Second Brother.”
There was loathing in his eyes. Knitting his brow, he said, “Come in.”
The bodyguards parted to let her in.
They shut the office door. Lu Nanze sat on his swivel armchair as Qiao Yiyi stood obediently in front of him. “Second Brother, I’m pregnant. Do you think it’s a boy or a girl? Did you think of a name for the child?”
“Second Brother, you should know this child is exceptionally well-behaved. I didn’t even know I was pregnant! I have no morning sickness and don’t feel unwell. Second Brother, aren’t you happy?”
She went on and on, but Lu Nanze did not speak a single word.
Qiao Yiyi looked at him anxiously and asked, “Second Brother? Why haven’t you said a single word?”
Lu Nanze finally spoke up, “I remember, before you got pregnant, that we made a deal.”
Qiao Yiyi was taken aback.
She knew and remembered what he had said—that even if she had a child, at most it would be his illegitimate child, he would never acknowledge the baby.
But hadn’t that just been a casual remark?
This child was his own flesh and blood. How could he possibly be so heartless to not want it?
Qiao Yiyi placed her hands on her abdomen. Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and said, “So what has your child got to do with me?”
His words and tone were stone cold. There wasn’t a trace of warmth in them.
Qiao Yiyi was stunned and stood there, not quite able to believe what was happening. She looked at Lu Nanze and said, “Second Brother, you—”
“If there’s nothing else, Ms. Qiao, you may go.”
A cold order for her to leave. Qiao Yiyi bit her lip and attempted it again, “Second Brother, I—”
“Get out.”
Scared out of her wits, Qiao Yiyi could only walk to the door.
After she had taken a step, the freezing voice behind her called her, “Hang on.”
She halted and turned around. Lu Nanze looked at her steadily and said, “Qiao Yiyi, I think you should know what to say and what not to say, right?”
She was a smart woman and widened her eyes immediately. “Second Brother—”
“I do not wish for Qiao Lian to hear what she shouldn’t be hearing.” Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and continued, “Especially this month.”
Qiao Yiyi forcefully bit her lip and interlocked her fingers tightly. Nodding, she said, “Yes.”
After leaving Lu Nanze’s office, Qiao Yiyi clenched her fists tightly. There was a flash of agony and sorrow in her eyes.
She had thought that, once she carried Second Brother’s child, he would treat her better.
But unexpectedly, it had turned out like this.
She took a deep breath.
That was not right.
It was obvious that the moment Second Brother had heard that she was pregnant, he had freed her.
He was behaving like this now probably because he was trying to regain Qiao Lian’s affection.
But the moment the child was born, Second Brother would surely like it.
Having an adorable child in front of him, calling him “daddy”… She would not believe that he would still be so heartless to deny that child.
That thought renewed her strength and calmed her down once more.
–
The hours flew by and soon it was lunchtime again.
Just thinking of the meal she had had with Lu Nanze yesterday and how it had ended with Shen Liangchuan’s jealousy, Qiao Lian was beginning to feel uncomfortable about this lunch matter.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a door knock, followed by a delivery worker who asked, “May I know who is Ms. Qiao?”
Qiao Lian: …!!
