Chapter 1751: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (21)

Qiao Yiyi had not thought that she would run into Lu Nanze here.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t Lu Nanze not care about Madam Lu being kidnapped?!

So why had he come here?

She frowned. Lu Nanze had spotted her and had even called her.

Qiao Yiyi knew it was impossible, given the road, to turn the car around and back out now. Hence, she could only wind down her window calmly and look at the man. She immediately smiled and remarked, “What a coincidence. What are you doing here?”

Then she turned, looked at the surrounding hills and asked, “Looking for inspiration?”

Lu Nanze: …

The man turned to glance at their surroundings and misunderstood.

All this time, Traceless had chosen not to stay in his villa, yet didn’t own a property in Suzhou. Besides, given her identity, staying in a hotel would have been impossible, so where exactly did she live?

She had been able to appear on time to change her dressing every night. At the very least, this showed that she wasn’t living very far from Suzhou. But he would have never thought that the police would have cornered her into having to live in the countryside like this.

He thought that Traceless was living in this remote valley.

He turned to look around again and observed that the valley made any mode of transportation difficult. A car could only come this far and no further, hence from this point, one had to move by foot.

Traceless was injured, yet she had had to endure this such arduous task.

Liang Liang and Bai Anan were simply too much.

How could they treat Traceless like this?

A look of deep regret crossed the man’s eyes as he said to Traceless, “This place seems a rather good spot for your recovery.”

A proud woman like Traceless would rather live in the mountains than in his villa. The fact that he had discovered this left her in an embarrassing situation, hence he had given her an out so that she could maintain her pride.

But right after he had said, he saw Traceless grimace.

Qiao Yiyi: …

Had he lost his mind?

How could this be a good place to recover?!

He was simply talking nonsense.

Still grimacing, she replied with a question, “What are you doing here?”

At least, she should just pretend to show interest in his reason for being there.

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and did not speak. However, one of his assistants said, “Our Madam has been kidnapped.”

Qiao Yiyi’s pupils shrank back at those words as she looked at Lu Nanze. “Your wife?”

Oddly, the moment he heard the words “your wife,” he felt guilty at once.

Indeed, he was a man with a wife. How could he be interested in another woman?

The thought of this made Lu Nanze feel quite uneasy. He was really quite remorseful.

He looked at Traceless and said, “Uh huh.”

Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about his wife, she refused to let the topic go. “It looks like you love her a lot. Otherwise, why would you rush here with just a few of your men?”

Lu Nanze immediately said, “She was kidnapped because of me. It has nothing to do with love. I would do the same for a pet dog or pet cat that was kidnapped.”

Qiao Yiyi’s expression turned sullen at once when she heard this.

Damn you. Who are you calling your pet dog or pet cat?
