Chapter 286: 286
“You can’t be trusted to take care of yourself!”
Qiao Lian wasn’t conscious that while examining the bandage that covered his wound, she was tightly grasping his arm . She found that it was slightly damp .
She immediately frowned, but he said at the same time, “I’ve been very careful . ”
“Bullsh*t! The bandage is wet!”
In her anxiety, she had chided him .
She only realized it afterwards, so she then immediately covered her mouth .
Looking up at him, she caught a vague expression on his face, but there was an unmistakable tenderness in his eyes . He was apparently not angry .
Relieved, she pulled him to the sofa on the side and made him sit down . Opening up the first aid kit, she knelt on the carpet and started to change Shen Liangchuan’s dressing .
The expression on her face was serious as she tilted her head over his wound . After the dressing had been changed, she suddenly became conscious of the warm breath grazing the back of her neck .
She then realized how puzzling they probably looked, being so up-close .
The scent of his breath drifted towards her, making her body tense up and her mouth parched .
She wanted to stand up, but Shen Liangchuan rested his head on her shoulder at once, leaning on her as though he was a child throwing a tantrum . She dared not move .
She gulped nervously and curled her fingers, staying in that position for a while . Just as she was about to speak, he slipped his arms around her waist and lifted her, placing her on his lap .
The next second, he lowered his head and came closer!
He had given Qiao Lian a fright . Just as she thought that he was going to kiss her, Shen Liangchuan’s face came within a hair’s breadth and stopped . Then with his deep and hoarse voice he asked, “May I?”
Qiao Lian’s face immediately turned bright scarlet .
Whenever he had wanted her in the past, he had never once stopped to ask for her consent beforehand .
But now…
Qiao Lian hesitated . How was she going to respond to such a question?!
If she said ‘yes’, it would make her seem easy . Wasn’t she supposed to still be angry at him?
But if she said ‘no’… the truth was, she wanted him .
In her moment of conflict, he continued, “I’ll take it as a yes if you don’t speak up . ”
Following this, he lifted her onto the sofa and pressed his body against hers .
And right at that moment…
Qiao Lian’s cell phone started ringing!
The piercing tone brought her back to her senses . Gathering all her strength, she pushed Shen Liangchuan aside and jumped up to answer the phone . On the other end of the line was Song Cheng’s voice, “Ms Qiao, Smiling Tiger from the team wishes to quit . ”
–
At the clubhouse in the villa .
Qiao Lian rushed over to the villa and on arrival, she saw Smiling Tiger carrying his suitcase behind him . She asked, “Why?”
Looking a little awkward, he hesitated before saying, “The King Fighting Team gave me an invitation . ”
King Fighting Team was a recently-established eSports team .
Qiao Lian frowned and continued, “Did they offer better terms than us? We can negotiate . You—”
“Not really . I think it will be tough to find a team that offers better terms . ” Smiling Tiger said with much guilt, “I’m sorry . ”
Qiao Lian took a deep breath and pressed on, “What’s the reason then?”
Smiling Tiger looked at her and then lowered his gaze . “Because their trainer is Purple Fairy . ”
Purple Fairy?
Qiao Lian was stunned .
Smiling Tiger continued, “She is Xiao Qiao, the famed female gamer from Lot back then . ”
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes .
What?!
