Chapter 1752: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (22)

She snorted icily with a grimace, her tone a little strange now as she added, “Mr. Lu certainly has a big heart, even caring for the little animals. That simply makes you… so different from normal people.”

Lu Nanze: …

Why did it sound like she was being sarcastic?

But Lu Nanze did not want to talk about Qiao Yiyi too much so he said, “Actually, you can stay in my villa. It’s safer there. Besides, no one would go there and it would be easy for you to clean your wound.”

Before he could finish what he was saying, Traceless smiled frostily and said, “Madam Lu has been kidnapped and her situation is uncertain now. To think that you can be here having a leisurely chat about where I should live, that’s really big-hearted of Mr. Lu!”

Lu Nanze was at once speechless.

He opened his mouth, intending to explain that things between him and Qiao Yiyi weren’t quite what she thought, and that there wasn’t really anything going on between them.

But the moment he wanted to say this, he realized that it wasn’t something he could explain clearly.

How could he?

Tell her that he didn’t really love his wife?

But wouldn’t it be slightly strange of him to say this aloud?

Because it really had nothing to do with Traceless whether he liked or loved his wife.

He struggled for a moment and finally swallowed those words.

Then he coughed slightly. Traceless took two steps forward, turned around and claimed, “Well, come on!”

Lu Nanze: …??

“I can’t just stand here and do nothing about your kidnapped wife. Besides, I do owe you a favor, so I’ll help you this time round!”

Qiao Yiyi felt extremely guilty saying this.

Since she couldn’t avoid the man, then the next best thing to do was to accompany him.

She must locate her bracelet amidst the chaos and retrieve her GPS chip.

But to Lu Nanze, this offer from Traceless made him feel like he was important to her.

Otherwise, why would Traceless go out of the way to help him rescue his wife?

However, Lu Nanze turned to look at the men he had brought along with him and said immediately, “It’s alright, we don’t need you there. We have enough men.”

There were too few of them and it would be dangerous for Traceless to go with them.

Although she was highly-skilled, she was highly-skilled in escaping. When it came to combat, it was a different story.

Besides, Traceless was injured. What if she ended up getting worse because of joining them?

Qiao Yiyi burst out in sarcastic laughter when she heard this and said, “Usually people worry about not having enough men to carry out a rescue operation, but this is the first time I’m hearing about someone having an issue with too many, do you think so poorly of me?”

Damn it. If she didn’t go with them, how was she going to retrieve her bracelet?!

Lu Nanze, why was he such a troublesome man?

Hence, after she said this, she started walking towards the mountain peak without further ado.

Lu Nanze watched her from behind and was about to speak up, but he realized that anything he said would be futile now. So with a wave of his hand, he simply instructed the men, “Let’s go.”

The group closely followed Qiao Yiyi.

They followed her in an orderly manner to the mountain peak, to the spot that Xu Fang had indicated

It was very windy on the mountaintop. They felt as though they were being swept off their feet.

Lu Nanze threw a sidelong glance at Qiao Yiyi. Oddly enough, he worried about her frail frame being swept away by the strong wind, and had an inexplicable desire to take extra care of her.

Of course, Qiao Yiyi wasn’t about to be swept away by a mere gust of wind. Right now, she stood there making quick observations of their surroundings, looking for the best place to hide later on.
