Chapter 1662: A New Beginning (2)

In the bathroom.

Shi Nianyao was in her tea ceremony dress and had come to the bathroom to wash her hands. Unexpectedly, she had encountered the woman in such a predicament.

Qiao Yiyi quickly lowered her head after glancing at her, trying to hide the pain in her eyes.

With her head down, she was that weak and mild Qiao Yiyi again. She said softly, as though frightened, “I- I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Smiling, Shi Nianyao replied, “Among all the guests here, we did not send Lu Nanze an invitation. So it’s strange that he turned up. I thought about it and there was only one explanation. So why are you still trying to cover it up?”

Qiao Yiyi’s pupils shrank back upon hearing this.

She had not expected that Shi Nianyao and Mo Xicheng would actually be so meticulous.

She had only done this to repay Lu Nanze for his help. Furthermore, she had seen how much he wanted to attend the event, but he had been reluctant to ask Mo Xicheng, who he didn’t know well, for an invitation. Hence, Qiao Yiyi had found a way to do it.

As for the WeChat group, she had joined through a friend.

Since the group chat was muted, she had never bothered to leave it. Once in a while she would go into the chat room and, when she realized Mo Xicheng was in trouble, she would casually help Pu Yun think of solutions, since it was in her blood to fight against injustice.

With her head still lowered, she twitched her mouth and looked up again at Shi Nianyao with a blank stare. “I- I really don’t know what you mean. We got an express delivery invitation, wasn’t it from you two?”

Shi Nianyao: …!

This girl was quite a talker.

Because the invitations for the fans had been sent together at the same time, she hadn’t really checked them thoroughly.

Now, as long as Qiao Yiyi refused to admit it, no one could say for sure it was her.

But after thinking about it, Shi Nianyao was relieved again.

At least, the girl had helped Mo Xicheng in the past, so why bother with a small matter like this?

After all, with such a clever wife, perhaps Lu Nanze may no longer have time to be focusing on Qiao Lian in the future.

Shi Nianyao immediately smiled at the thought of this.

She looked at Qiao Yiyi and nodded. “Miss Yi Yi is right.”

Qiao Yiyi had no idea if Shi Nianyao had addressed her as “Yiyi” or “Yi Yi.”

But did it matter?

She believed that Shi Nianyao was a smart woman and would not give her away.

Qiao Yiyi nodded and then, with her hand still on her lower back, she turned around and left.

That monster Lu Nanze! How dare he injure her?

She had married him just so that she could have a safe haven. For the past half a year, they had minded their own business, living their lives, and it had been working fine. But this time around, she was not going to let that man off easily.

At this thought, a sharp glint flashed in Qiao Yiyi’s eyes.

–

Qiao Lian’s contractions came very suddenly, so the pain had left her gnashing, frowning and unable to speak.

When the pain finally passed, she immediately clarified the situation as she was worried that Lu Nanze would misunderstand.

He obviously was taken aback.

But the next moment, a new wave of contractions began, and she cried out in pain.

That cry took up all of Lu Nanze’s attention at once, relegating everything else to the back of his mind.
