Chapter 585 - Qiao Lian (5) (2/2)

Qiao Lian gulped. ”Second Brother, I—”

”Why are you calling me Second Brother again? Didn't you just call me Lu Nanze?” He lunged forward with these words, almost pinning her entirely under his own body.

His face was now only a hair's breadth away from hers.

His breath was hot against her face when he spoke.

Unable to tolerate it, Qiao Lian turned away.

But his large hand forced her head back in position. ”Look at me.”

Qiao Lian was forced to stare straight into his alluring phoenix eyes. The smell of his breath was both familiar and strange at the same time. Her eyes reddened as she pleaded, ”Second Brother, let me go.”

”Let you go? Why should I? Qiao Lian, you're such a child. You ran away eight years ago and left without a word. Now tell me, where have you been all this time?”

Before Qiao Lian could speak, he smiled menacingly and added, ”Tell me the truth and maybe, just maybe, I'll let you go.”

Qiao Lian knew this man too well.

From a young age, he would make his own decisions without consulting anyone and people found him terrifying.

He would use all means to attain whatever he desired and would always get what he wanted in the end.

Just like eight years ago…

Qiao Lian cast her gaze down. ”I took Qiao Yi overseas to study.”

”Where?”

Qiao Lian evaded his question and continued, ”Things are good now, and Qiao Yi's legs are recovering well.”

Lu Nanze paused and said with a hint of gladness in his voice, ”That's good then.”

Qiao Lian looked up at him again. ”Second Brother, I just want to leave the past behind. I don't wish to go back to the life I led before. Will you let me go, please?”

After her plea, Lu Nanze's expression emanated an aura of danger as he replied, ”Qiao Lian, you're mine. What makes you think I'd let you go?”

After he said these words, he lowered his head and kissed Qiao Lian by force!

In her panic, she gathered all the strength she had. With an upward motion, she swung her head and smashed it viciously against his.

Getting hit triggered the man's aggression, and he restrained her by locking her head down against the car seat. Just as he was about to lower his head again for another kiss, something crashed suddenly into the car as it pulled to a complete stop!
