Chapter 1166 - Their First Collaboration (2) (1/2)

Following his next instructions, the punches and kicks rained down quicker and harder.

Qiao Lian furrowed her brow. She was hiding behind the crowd and wanted to step forward. But she saw Lu Nanze suddenly raise his head and shot her a look, immediately saying, “Don’t.”

Don’t.

Qiao Lian instantly froze.

When Lu Nanze had suddenly hit the man with the braid, she had thought that he was just being too rash.

The two of them had been kidnapped by eight or nine people. In a moment like this, even if they were verbally abused, there was no need to use physical force.

But she now suddenly realized Lu Nanze’s intention. Lu Nanze had meant…

The man with the braid had obviously wanted to take advantage of her.

And he had found a timely moment to hit the man, so that all the pressure would be directed on him.

For the moment she, Qiao Lian, would be safe.

He had used himself as bait to hold these people’s attention, only so that she would not suffer any outrageous acts.

Qiao Lian stared as Lu Nanze got beaten up, his head buried in his hands. Her eyes reddened at once.

He could have walked away from this, he could have left, but why had he stayed to protect her?

She looked at him in disbelief.

She had a lot of mixed feelings.

She had initially been determined to hate him but now, she wavered.

She gulped and took a step back in silence, shrinking into a corner so that she became as unnoticeable as possible.

She knew she was being selfish, but she had to do this.

Because he wanted to protect her child.
