Chapter 712 - Do You Hate Me This Much? (12) (1/2)

One icily aloof, the other sinisterly charming.

But in an instant, both were on the alert, bristling at the sight of each other as though they were ready for war anytime.

Aggressive sparks flew as they looked at each other in the eye.

As the saying goes, if looks could kill, Qiao Lian suspected right now they would have had about 300 fight rounds.

She took a step forward, placing herself right in front of Shen Liangchuan. She explained to him what had happened in the private room and, with her back facing Lu Nanze, she said to Shen Liangchuan, “Why don’t you wait for me back at the hotel? We’ll be okay. This time Lu Nanze won’t dare to hold me captive like he did previously.”

Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened.

Qiao Lian immediately shrank back as she felt him turning cold and hostile.

She couldn’t blame him.

Of course Shen Liangchuan would get angry at her for agreeing to have a meal with him, knowing that he desired her.

As she was trying hard to think of a way to explain this to him, he said instead, “So was that exactly what he said? ‘I want you to have dinner with me and, on top of that, help me pick out a set of clothes?'”

Qiao Lian was stumped for a moment and gave him a puzzled look before nodding.

Shen Liangchuan made a sound to indicate he understood. Then, he walked around her and towards Lu Nanze.

She was stunned for a second before all her guards went up.

If Shen Liangchuan made things difficult for Lu Nanze, would it provoke him to target Sun Tzi again?

Besides, this was Suzhou. If things turned ugly, Shen Liangchuan would be at a disadvantage.

She started to panic at this thought.

Following Shen Liangchuan, they walked to Lu Nanze. As they did so, Shen Liangchuan held out his hand to the other man and said, “Mr. Lu, since you’ve been so kind to Xiao Qiao all these years, my wife and I should really buy you a meal. It’s only right we do so.”

There was no need for Qiao Lian to speak further about this.

Lu Nanze scowled.

When did the plan change from Qiao Lian having dinner with him alone, to the couple buying him a meal?
