She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 712

Chapter 712: Do You Hate Me This Much? (12)

One icily aloof, the other sinisterly charming.

But in an instant, both were on the alert, bristling at the sight of each other as though they were ready for war anytime.

Aggressive sparks flew as they looked at each other in the eye.

As the saying goes, if looks could kill, Qiao Lian suspected right now they would have had about 300 fight rounds.

She took a step forward, placing herself right in front of Shen Liangchuan. She explained to him what had happened in the private room and, with her back facing Lu Nanze, she said to Shen Liangchuan, “Why don’t you wait for me back at the hotel? We’ll be okay. This time Lu Nanze won’t dare to hold me captive like he did previously.”

Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened.

Qiao Lian immediately shrank back as she felt him turning cold and hostile.

She couldn’t blame him.

Of course Shen Liangchuan would get angry at her for agreeing to have a meal with him, knowing that he desired her.

As she was trying hard to think of a way to explain this to him, he said instead, “So was that exactly what he said? ‘I want you to have dinner with me and, on top of that, help me pick out a set of clothes?'”

Qiao Lian was stumped for a moment and gave him a puzzled look before nodding.

Shen Liangchuan made a sound to indicate he understood. Then, he walked around her and towards Lu Nanze.

She was stunned for a second before all her guards went up.

If Shen Liangchuan made things difficult for Lu Nanze, would it provoke him to target Sun Tzi again?

Besides, this was Suzhou. If things turned ugly, Shen Liangchuan would be at a disadvantage.

She started to panic at this thought.

Following Shen Liangchuan, they walked to Lu Nanze. As they did so, Shen Liangchuan held out his hand to the other man and said, “Mr. Lu, since you’ve been so kind to Xiao Qiao all these years, my wife and I should really buy you a meal. It’s only right we do so.”

There was no need for Qiao Lian to speak further about this.

Lu Nanze scowled.

When did the plan change from Qiao Lian having dinner with him alone, to the couple buying him a meal?

Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan, completely flabbergasted.

Suddenly, she recalled that Lu Nanze had asked her to have a meal with him. He, however, had not specified that there couldn’t be anyone else around.

Shen Liangchuan had taken full advantage of this loophole.

But it was a reasonable request!

She closed her lips tightly and said nothing.

It would indeed be rather torturous if she had to have dinner with Lu Nanze alone. But if Shen Liangchuan were there…

She looked at Lu Nanze.

Naturally, his expression had darkened and he looked displeased.

She gave a soft cough and did not speak a word.

He glanced sharply at Shen Liangchuan and shifted his gaze to the woman standing next to him. He took a moment to put his fury under control. Smiling once more, he replied, “Then why not?”

After he said that, his gaze fell on Shen Liangchuan’s hand.

He frowned and made a small movement with his hand, as he contemplated whether he should shake it. However at this point, Shen Liangchuan decided to withdraw his hand.

Lu Nanze scowled.

This fella, he was doing it intentionally!

He lifted his head once more and looked intently at Shen Liangchuan. Managing to suppress his burning anger again, he turned to get into his own nanny van. He immediately looked at Qiao Lian and said, “Qiao Lian, get in.”

“It’s okay, we drove here.”

We. And she had intentionally emphasized the word.

It made Lu Nanze’s heart sink at once.

That’s right, they were a ‘we’ now. Whereas he was just ‘him’.

This thought was as though a huge, invisible hand was squeezing his heart tightly.
