Chapter 1152: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (8)

Qiao Lian halted and she froze.

She looked at the assistant and cleared her throat after a pause, saying, “Can I not go?”

The assistant shook his head in silence.

Qiao Lian: …

This whole building belonged to Lu Nanze. If she tried to run, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Everyone would be after her before she could even get out and, at that point it would be impossible to escape.

So she must not panic at this point.

As this thought sank in, she immediately smiled and looked up at the assistant, saying, “Let’s go then.”

She would just have to play by ear.

And even if she was busted, at worst there would be a showdown.

She steeled her faith at this thought.

They took the director’s private elevator up to the penthouse

Indeed, the atmosphere in the penthouse office was oppressive. The secretary staff worked with their heads lowered, trying to be as unnoticeable as possible. The awkwardness was extremely uncomfortable.

As Qiao Lian walked out of the elevator, she could feel the staleness of the atmosphere. She turned to look and noticed that the door to the stairs was locked.

This elevator…

Crestfallen, she finally understood why Shen Liangchuan had been worried about her all of this time.

Now, even if she wanted to run, there was no way out.

As these thoughts flashed through her mind, they arrived at the office.

The assistant raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Lu Nanze’s devilishly charming voice was heard coming from within the room, “Come in.”

The assistant held the door open for Qiao Lian.

She walked through, turned around and looked at him. He then retreated in an unkind manner and immediately shut the door. It was written all over his expression: look out for yourself.

Qiao Lian: …

Resisting the pressure, Qiao Lian slowly raised her head and looked at Lu Nanze, who was sitting on the chair.

But at this moment, his back was to her. He was looking out of the window, at the city of Beijing that spread out before him. Qiao Lian could not see his expression and had no idea if he was happy, or otherwise.

This was most uncomfortable for her. She lowered her head and broke the silence in the room. “Why did you ask me to come up here?”

In answer to this, Lu Nanze raised his arm and pointed at the coffee table by the side.

Qiao Lian’s gaze followed the direction he pointed at and saw that there was a huge spread of food on the coffee table. Lu Nanze said, “I called you to have lunch.”

She fell silent.

Why did she have the feeling that the food might be poisoned?

Did she really dare eat it?

She cleared her throat and said, “It’s ok, I—”

“Qiao Lian, what are you afraid of? It sounds as if I might poison you.”

She quickly waved her hands and said, “No, no, I didn’t mean that. I—”

Before she could finish speaking, the man suddenly turned around. His eyes were burning as he looked at her.

Immediately, she lowered her head and said, “Ok, ok, fine, I’ll eat.”

She walked over to the table, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

The food was delicately prepared and presented, and looked like take-away food. Surely, food like this could not have been poisoned.

Because she was nervous, she unconsciously ate more than usual.

A million thoughts were flashing through her head. What was the situation now? Did Lu Nanze suspect her? Although there were no surveillance cameras in his office, surely there would be some outside his office.

Besides herself yesterday, no one else had come in.

Just as she was thinking these thoughts, Lu Nanze suddenly spoke, “Qiao Lian, could it be that you haven’t actually lost your memory?”
