Chapter 1789: Did They Think She Was a Weakling? (19)

The more Qiao Yiyi got carried away by the story, the more convincing she became and it all seemed authentic.

Lu Nanze frowned.

When he had hung out with Qiao Lian in his youth, he had done many ridiculous things, like helping others. But these were things from his youth and he certainly could not recall if he had ever helped Qiao Yiyi.

But seeing her sincere expression and hearing her genuinely affectionate tone, he was compelled to ask, “When was this and where did it happen?”

Qiao Yiyi paused and looked up, as though she didn’t understand his question.

The man persisted, impatiently repeating, “I’m asking you when and where it was that I helped you.”

Given this girl’s lack of integrity, Lu Nanze decided that if she couldn’t recall this information, then he would get the butler to investigate.

He didn’t want to keep a vicious and ill-intentioned woman by his side.

After saying this, he stared at the girl.

Qiao Yiyi sighed and started, “Ten years ago. I can’t remember the details. It was in a small lane next to Digao High School. Next to the lane, there was a shop that sold bean curd jelly. You fought with the thug and broke a few chairs in the shop.”

The moment he heard this, Lu Nanze suddenly remembered.

This had actually happened.

At the time, he had been on his way to school with Qiao Lian. As they passed by that place, they had seen a few thugs bullying a young girl.

Of course, Qiao Lian couldn’t stand it and had wanted to interfere.

Lu Nanze had stopped her and gone to them instead.

He hadn’t wanted Qiao Lian to get her hands dirty.

Because of that fight, he had been late for his mid-term examination. His teacher had even called his parents, and later his father had given him a good beating

After this, the owner of the shop had turned up at his home demanding compensation.

Since there had been many consequences, he still remembered the incident.

It was as she had said.

Nevertheless…

Lu Nanze still felt a little uneasy.

The girl had married him because she liked him. Furthermore, she had made such a sincere confession.

Although there was never a lack of girls who were interested in him, because he had a strange and violent temperament, the girls would inevitably get frightened before they could even speak up.

Even someone like Li Tingting would just try to get close to him and that was about all they did. She had never spoken a word to confess.

Hence right now, this was literally the first confession he had gotten in his life.

It was simply… It was such an odd feeling and he had no idea how to manage it.

He lay back down in bed and refused to look at her.

Then Qiao Yiyi said, “Mr. Lu, do you know what the greatest fortune in my life has been?”

On the one hand, Lu Nanze didn’t really want to know.

But his curiosity got the better of him and he picked his ears.

Qiao Yiyi continued, “My greatest fortune is to be called Qiao Yiyi. My father abandoned my mother and I never really liked him at all. But I am grateful to him for giving me this name.”

Strangely, this almost-nauseating confession, spoken so lyrically in her low voice in the darkness of the room, came across rather seductive.

The man felt his ears burning uncontrollably.

He frowned and snorted, saying, “Why aren’t you sleeping yet when it’s this late? Your incessant talking is keeping me up!”
