Chương 1167: Their First Collaboration (3)

Qiao Lian sat down in a corner and hugged her knees. She looked outside and said to Lu Nanze, "Why didn't you leave?"

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and said after a pause, "How can I leave when you're here?"

He had said that like a matter of course. Qiao Lian was taken aback.

She had always thought that Lu Nanze treated her like a thing that he didn't own yet, something he desired to possess, just a toy. But now…

She stared straight ahead and bit her lip. After a silent pause she said again, "You are aware that by not leaving then, it's possible that the both of us will end up not being able to leave."

"If it comes to the worst we die here."

Qiao Lian fell silent at once.

He had said it with such ease, as though he wasn't even thinking about what he was saying.

She pursed her lips.

At once, the room fell silent.
