Immediately, Qiao Yiyi asked nervously, “What else did I say?”
Lu Nanze chortled icily and taunted her, “Why should I tell you?”
Qiao Yiyi: …
The man continued, “But it was quite an eye-opener.”
The girl was even more curious now and persisted, “What exactly did I say?”
“You really want to know?”
“Uh huh.”
“Steal something else for me.”
She immediately lowered her head and said, “You’d better not tell me then.”
Lu Nanze: …
Lu Nanze was amused when he noticed how she was trying hard to look calm and collected. He smiled to himself.
Nodding, he said, “Fine, I won’t bring it up then.”
Qiao Yiyi took a deep breath and got to her feet. She had to go. After all, if she didn’t return home tonight, Lu Nanze might find out about it tomorrow.
But the moment she stood up, her vision darkened and she almost lost her balance. Quickly, she reached out for the chair nearby to stand steady.
The man said hesitantly, “You’ve lost a lot of blood. I’d suggest you stay home and rest for a few days.”
Qiao Yiyi looked at him stubbornly and replied, “I appreciate Mr. Lu’s good intentions, but I do have to go. I wouldn’t want to get you into trouble.”
Lu Nanze retorted indignantly, “What sort of trouble do you think I’d be afraid of?”
His arrogance and confidence stunned her.
She looked at him.
From what she understood of this man, he was actually a cold-hearted and merciless person, but why was he so concerned about her?
At once, she was pelled to ask, “Why are you being so kind?”
That question seemed to embarrass him, as he coughed slightly and replied, “I’m just worried that you will fail to steal the 1000-year-old ginseng.”
Qiao Yiyi was relieved to hear this. Indeed, besides this reason, there were no others she could think of.
What had she just been thinking? As if Lu Nanze would really care about her. That would be the day the sun rose from the West!
She smirked at that thought and shook her head firmly. “It’s ok, really. There’s somewhere I can go to.”
Somewhere, but she didn’t use the word home.
It showed that she didn’t really have a place to call home in Suzhou.
He was going to say something, until he thought again about how proud and lofty a person Traceless was. She probably was being this stubborn because she didn’t want to be thought poorly of. Hence, he decided to give her an out.
He nodded and took out a key. Placing it on the table, he said, “This is the key to this villa. If you need to change your bandages, you are wele to use this place, I’m normally not around.”
After saying this, he thought about how she had passed out while tending to her own wound. He pointed at the telephone on the side and said in a concerned tone, “There’s a phone there, you can reach me at my current home. If you need to change your dressing, feel free to call me.”
He realized that Traceless had still not picked up the key. Hence, he raised an eyebrow questioningly. “Huh?”
Unable to contain her amusement, she laughed.
When she did, he suddenly realized that she had a dimple on each corner of her lip and it was very pretty. It made one happy to just look at them.
Then the girl said, “Mr. Lu, there are actually no doors in this world that I cannot get past. So really, I don’t need this key.”
