Chapter 1144: She’s Carrying Lu Nanze’s Child (20)

Qiao Yiyi felt uneasy about Qiao Lian.

She felt that her recent appearance in the company was odd.

And now she actually had access to the penthouse to enter Lu Nanze’s office.

Second Brother wasn’t at work today, so what was she up to, going into his office?

It was this thought that had compelled her to climb the emergency stairs from the floor below and access the penthouse. At that moment, it had been her pounding on the emergency door that had alarmed the secretary, who walked over, giving a window of opportunity to Qiao Lian.

The junior secretary had not intended to open the door for her initially, but under repeated threats and cajoling from Qiao Yiyi, she finally gave in.

At once, Qiao Yiyi tried to charge into the office.

The secretary did not dare to allow this and stopped her at once.

However, Qiao Yiyi had used her abdomen to force a clear path, given that the junior secretary didn’t dare to lay hands on her. The thought of harming Mr. Lu’s child was inconceivable.

The same went for the bodyguards, of course, and even more so. Hence, Qiao Yiyi was able to charge her way through these people and had now thrown open the office door.

When the door flew open, Qiao Yiyi was stunned by what she saw in the room.

Because Qiao Lian was now sitting on the sofa, looking through a photo alb.u.m on Lu Nanze’s desk.

The woman surveyed the rest of the room quickly and saw that everything was in place. It was only then that her focus returned to Qiao Lian. Smiling coldly, she said, “What are you doing here exactly?”

Qiao Lian raised her gaze with an indifferent expression and waved the junior secretary off, who had dashed into the room with Qiao Yiyi. She added, “You may leave now, we’ll be fine.”

That Qiao Yiyi had lost favor was something that everyone in the office could see.

In the past, Qiao Yiyi had been the only woman who had any sort of relations.h.i.+p with Mr. Lu, even if it was clear to everyone that it was Qiao Yiyi who kept sucking up to him.

But now, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Lu Nanze absolutely infatuated with Qiao Lian.

The junior secretary could see that Mr. Lu couldn’t wait to spend every minute he had with Qiao Lian, which told her that Qiao Lian was the one that Mr. Lu liked.

So the minute Qiao Lian said this, she nodded respectfully at once and said, “Sure, Ms. Qiao. Please feel free to call me if any situation arises.”

Qiao Lian nodded.

The secretary left the room and shut the door behind her.

Qiao Yiyi eyed Qiao Lian guardedly, with one hand on her stomach. As she stared at her, feelings of insane jealousy raged and built up within her.

When she had been with Second Brother in the past, those people had never been this obedient.

But the way that the junior secretary was treating Qiao Lian was as though Qiao Lian was the lady boss. It was an eyesore to watch.

She started to try and make things difficult for Qiao Lian. “Qiao Lian, what do you want exactly? Could it be that you haven’t lost your memory?”

After she had said this, Qiao Lian stood up slowly and calmly. Holding the doc.u.ment in her hand, she said at once, “Don’t you know? Lu Nanze asked me to take this to his house, so what are you doing exactly?”

Delivering a doc.u.ment?

Qiao Yiyi was flabbergasted as she stared at the doc.u.ment.

What sort of doc.u.ment was it that he needed Qiao Lian to bring it to him? it was Lu Nanze’s obvious excuse to see her.

As Qiao Yiyi frowned, Qiao Lian slowly and calmly walked past her and left the office. Then the door shut with a loud bang.
