Chapter 13
In the darkened room, the person lying on the sofa was tossing and turning .
At last, Qiao Lian hopped down the sofa .
She opened the door to the room . Afterwards, she carefully went downstairs and confirmed that the living room was empty . Only then did Qiao Lian breathe a sigh of relief and quickly dart into the kitchen .
Opening the freezer, she took a piece of bread and ate two bites of it with gusto . Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car come from outside the mansion .
She froze . Her entire body tensed up in an instant .
Shen Liangchuan was back?
When she thought about the incident that had happened at the set that day, she suddenly felt nervous . She hurriedly closed the freezer door, and she was about to dash up to her bedroom when a huge batch of people entered the living room . It would seem extremely suspicious if Qiao Lian were to run up now . Hence, she chose to just stand at the kitchen entrance and look outside .
The front door opened and Shen Liangchuan strode in, bringing with him an air of coolness .
The caretaker immediately went up to him and said, "Sir, you are back?"
Shen Liangchuan nodded his head . He took off his coat and passed it to a servant . He slightly raised his head and said, "What happened to her?"
"Today, the Madam—"
Her words were cut off by Shen Liangchuan, who said coolly, "Do not address her as Madam . "
One short sentence and suddenly the entire living room fell into absolute silence .
Qiao Lian's mouth twitched .
Do not address me as Madam?
This tone of dislike triggered her to walk out of the kitchen, unable to restrain herself . She said, "Caretaker, you can call me Qiao Lian . "
Immediately, the atmosphere in the room became even more awkward .
The caretaker coughed out, "Miss Qiao did not eat dinner today . "
The caretaker found herself unable to continue speaking .
She said this because Shen Liangchuan's gaze had fallen on the slice of bread in Qiao Lian's hands and the breadcrumbs on the sides of her mouth .
He had initially thought that after today's incident, she would be finished for good and get overwhelmed by sorrow . But now… Why did she not really look that down?
Shen Liangchuan's complexion, already indifferent, became even more pale and cold . A state of furiousness began to spread in him .
Her ruddy complexion was an eyesore to him . He was just about to speak when he suddenly realized something . All of a sudden, he strode directly towards Qiao Lian .
His large hands clamped down on her chin before Qiao Lian even had time to react . Immediately, he coldly said, "Who hit your face?!"
Who hit my face? Of course it's the person you're having an affair with!
But nothing would happen even if she told him . He might even take revenge on her behalf!
As she hesitated for several seconds, his gaze began to change .
He suddenly let go of her chin and mockingly said, "Are you going to tell me that it was Yang Lingsi who hit you?"
This tone of his… Tch .
He was overflowing with immense dissatisfaction!
She knew that he was the most impatient when she created problems for him . Thus, she thought for a while and then chose a neutral way of speaking, "Ah, you don't have to concern yourself with such a small issue—"
"I don't have to concern myself? So, are you trying to attain your goals by making a concession? Do you want me to take revenge on your behalf?" Shen Liangchuan said with an expression of ridicule .
Qiao Lian: …
Shen Liangchuan turned towards the caretaker and said in a stern voice, "Sister Li, you are already so advanced in age, and your eyesight is also failing . Do be careful and do not let others manipulate you again . "
Manipulate?
This person… Is he referring to me?
Qiao Lian frowned and said, "Shen Liangchuan, I don't need your help—"
"Miss Qiao, I'm telling you now, women's tricks do not work on me!"
Once he finished speaking, he immediately turned around, went upstairs and slammed the door . "Bang!"
Qiao Lian thought, "So he won't even let people talk to him at all? Even in a nice and calm tone?"
Qiao Lian angrily bit off a mouthful of bread . Suddenly, she grew aware of a problem . Was this considered an argument? If so, where would she sleep tonight?
