Chapter 276: 276
Qiao Lian slowly opened her eyes as the morning light penetrated the room . The first thing that greeted her was Shen Liangchuan’s outstandingly handsome face and his familiar, masculine breath .
Unconsciously, the first thing she did was touch his forehead . She felt relieved after noting that his temperature had gone down .
Then, as if she had had some sort of sudden realization, she sat up with a jerk . She looked down to check that she was fully clothed . At some point, she had somehow wriggled her way into the folds of Shen Liangchuan’s blanket…
Her face instantly flushed and she quickly looked at him .
She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that his eyes were still closed and he was still asleep .
Then she carefully got out of bed and walked out of the room .
Although she had looked after him for the whole night, the truth was that she still couldn’t bring herself to face him .
He was sick, and she didn’t want to get into a fight with him .
It was best that she left before he woke up .
When she got downstairs, Song Yuanxi was just walking out of the kitchen carrying an apron . She smiled when she saw Qiao Lian . “Sister-in-law, I made some porridge . Would you like some?”
Qiao Lian waved and said, “No, it’s okay . I have to go to work now . ”
Then she hesitated for a short while and eventually said, “When Shen Liangchuan wakes up, please don’t let him know that I came over . ”
Song Yuanxi looked confused . “Huh?”
Qiao Lian simply smiled and said, “Thanks for your help . ”
And she left after changing her shoes .
Song Yuanxi stood on the spot for a while as she watched Qiao Lian walk out of the house . When she heaved a sigh of relief and turned around, she saw Shen Liangchuan standing quietly on the corridor of the second floor .
Pale from the fever and wearing a set of baggy pyjamas, his deep and dark eyes were fixed in Qiao Lian’s direction .
Song Yuanxi’s heart sank . “Brother Liangchuan…”
Shen Liangchuan snapped back to the present and nodded at her, before he turned around and went back to his room .
Song Yuanxi bit her lip and returned to the kitchen . As she came back out with the delicious porridge that she had been cooking, she heard the sound of a door opening upstairs .
When she looked up, Shen Liangchuan was walking down all dressed up . She was about to call him for breakfast, but he left seemingly in a hurry .
She hadn’t had the chance to say a word .
Song Yuanxi sighed and shut her mouth .

It was around nine in the morning when Qiao Lian arrived at her office .
She had barely stepped in when Shi Nianyao waved at her saying, “Chief Editor Lian Lian, there’s a package waiting for you . ”
A package?
She paused for a second .
She used to like online shopping as she could save money that way, however, she was quite sure that she hadn’t bought anything lately .
Puzzled, she asked, “What sort of package?”
Shi Nianyao laughed . “It’s very beautifully packaged . Chief Editor Lian Lian, could it be a present from your suitor?”
Suitor?
Where would she even get one…
Qiao Lian shook her head and curiously stepped into her office . She saw a little gift box on her desk .
Indeed, the packaging was as Shi Nianyao had said, very pretty . It had a pink ribbon around it, done up in a butterfly knot, and it looked like it had been prepared with care . It was almost too pretty to unwrap .
She walked over to her desk and put her bag aside . After starting up her computer, she made herself a coffee .
She was feeling a little drowsy from not having slept well the night before .
After settling down, she reached for a pair of scissors and nimbly snipped off the packaging ribbon . As she removed the cover of the box and looked in, her initially calm face froze and her pupils suddenly shrank .
