Chapter 1659: Epilogue (32)

Lu Nanze found himself in front of Qiao Lian by the time he realized what he was doing.

Qiao Lian looked at him strangely and asked, “Second Brother, what’s the matter?”

What was the matter?

He wasn’t too sure himself.

He had uncontrollably gravitated towards Qiao Lian and now he was standing before her.

How long had it been since they had met?

The last time he had seen her, it had been at her wedding.

Although he had known that she was pregnant even then, now that she was heavily pregnant and standing before him, he still felt an unbearable pain in his heart.

Although he had never taken an interest in entertainment news, these days he had been paying attention to every piece of news about Shen Liangchuan, as though he might just catch a glimpse of Qiao Lian in the photographs that were taken of the man.

Unfortunately, Shen Liangchuan was very careful to preserve his privacy. Hence it was even rare to find pictures of himself, not to mention Qiao Lian’s.

So it really had been a solid half a year that he had not seen Qiao Lian.

He stared at her, his eyes deep and mysterious. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but the only words that came were, “Have you been doing well lately?”

Qiao Lian looked a little uncertain, but before she could say a word, Shen Liangchuan had already stepped in between the both of them and interrupted, “Mr. Lu, thank you for your concern for my wife. She has been well.”

Shen Liangchuan had emphasized on the words “my wife.”

She had been married for a good half a year and was now heavily pregnant, about to give birth. Qiao Lian, at this point of her life, was probably looking her worst. But even then, someone was thinking of her?

What more could Shen Liangchuan say?

Lu Nanze’s expression darkened upon hearing Shen Liangchuan’s words. He turned to look at the man and said after a long pause, “Uh huh, I know. But Qiao Lian has always been sensitive to any sort of pain. Even p.r.i.c.kling her with a needle could bring her to tears. So being pregnant and giving birth will be tough on her, make sure to treat her well.”

“Mr. Lu’s words are quite redundant. She’s my wife, of course I’ll treat her well. Rather than spending your time worrying about other people’s wives, why don’t you make better use of your time and worry about your own wife?”

Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank back as he replied, “What about my wife?”

Shen Liangchuan smiled as he looked at someone standing some distance away. He replied, “Nothing. I just feel that at the moment, she might be feeling a little awkward.”

Lu Nanze immediately spun his head around to look.

Since he had approached Qiao Lian, the people around were a.n.a.lyzing the situation. A few of them were already pointing at Qiao Yiyi and commenting on the scene.

Qiao Yiyi, on the other hand, looked as though she didn’t feel anything. With her head lowered, she was as invisible as the air.

Looking at her, Lu Nanze grew exasperated.

He loosened his tie and threw another glance at Qiao Lian. He said, “Take good care.”

Then he turned around and walked to Qiao Yiyi.

Before he could reach Qiao Yiyi, he heard a few people whispering to each other.

“Can’t believe that even now he’s thinking of someone else’s wife.”

“Look at how pretty Qiao Lian is. It’s no wonder someone keeps thinking of her.”

“But… the poor Madam Lu—”

“Why pity her? She lacks boldness. If I were her, I would have already started a fight! Qiao Lian is heavily pregnant, for sure she’d lose.”
