Qiao Lian quickly lowered her head and pretended that she hadn't heard a thing. She continued eating.
But oddly, she found herself distracted.
Lu Nanze had always been a quick and firm decision-maker, and he acted based on worldly wisdom. Among friends, he always defended his position. People pursued and feared him, and he had no particular patience with anything.
But although this was the case, when he turned back to face Qiao Lian after hanging up, he went back to the calm demeanor he had had before the call, as though he had all the patience in the world for her.
His style of working had always been to use force and suppression. Just like when he found out she was pregnant, he had thought of all ways and means to have the child aborted.
But now, he seemed to have patience to have lunch with her and spend time with her.
Seeing this side of Lu Nanze somehow caused her to feel a strange pain in her heart.
