There was no change in Shen Liangchuan’s expression, but the look in his eyes was sharp and murderous.
When she noticed this, Qiao Lian knew that she had to intervene. Otherwise, if they started a fight on the street, she wouldn’t know what to do.
She hurriedly took a step forward and positioned herself between Shen Liangchuan and Lu Nanze. She grinned at Lu Nanze, turned to look at Shen Liangchuan and said, “Hubby, why don’t you go home first?”
Her child-like tone at once melted the coldness in Shen Liangchuan.
Lu Nanze froze, on the other hand.
Hubby.
This was the first time he had ever heard her address Shen Liangchuan like that, calling him Hubby.
He felt an intense pain in his heart, like it was being slowly sliced by a blunt knife.
So this was how sweet she sounded when she addressed her own husband.
In the past, he had tried countless times to imagine what it would be like when Qiao Lian called someone “hubby”.
Now he had finally heard it.
But it wasn’t him she was talking to.
Tightening his fists and looking at them, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiao Lian’s arm. He said, “We’re going to be late for work. Let’s stop the small talk!”
He wanted to yank her away and take her into the office, as though this was the only way that he could separate them. Only if he could separate them would he feel better.
But this forceful act by him caused Shen Liangchuan to narrow his eyes at once.
He opened the driver seat door and sprang out of the car. He strode over to Lu Nanze and grabbed the man by his arm. He narrowed his eyes as he glared at Lu Nanze and demanded, “Let her go!”
Lu Nanze sneered, “Why should I? We should be together, we were childhood sweethearts. The person who should let her go is you!”
The expression in Shen Liangchuan’s eyes turned as cold as the water in the North Pole, like water that had stayed frozen for a 1000 years. It was clear that if Lu Nanze didn’t release his grip on her, he would not let the man go either.
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes with a chilling smile.
Shen Liangchuan started, “She is my wife. Mr. Lu, I ask that you watch your boundaries!”
Lu Nanze slowly replied, “Watch which boundaries exactly? Mr. Shen, I’ve done more intimate things with—”
“Lu Nanze!” Qiao Lian shouted angrily before the man could finish what he was saying. He looked at her.
She looked back at him and then shifted her gaze to Shen Liangchuan.
These two men weren’t behaving at all like the CEOs of huge enterprises that they were. They were more like immature school boys that had not grown up!
Were they going to start a fight too?
She said to Lu Nanze, “Let me go!”
“I will not!”
“Are you going to do it or not?”
“Not letting go.”
“Lu Nanze, you-” Qiao Lian was angered into speechlessness. Eventually, she said, “You’re hurting me! My wrist feels like it’s breaking. Ouch! It hurts!”
Lu Nanze frowned as she yelled out but he still didn’t let go. He looked at Shen Liangchuan and said, “Why aren’t you letting her go?”
Only he knew how tight and strong the grip that Shen Liangchuan had on his arm was.
It was a bone-crushing and agonizing pain, but he stubbornly wouldn’t move and would only stare at Shen Liangchuan.
But indeed, the next moment, Shen Liangchuan relaxed his grip and said, “Let her go.”
Lu Nanze gave an icy laugh before he let go of her arm.
That vicious look on his face was peerless.
Giving Shen Liangchuan a hard glare, he even said, “Since childhood, I’d rather destroy whatever I wanted that I could not get my hands on.”
