Chapter 445: 445
The next moment, Qiao Lian abandoned this thought .
Song Yuanxi had no need to lie to her, because such a lie would be too easy to bust . All she needed to do was ask Shen Liangchuan and the truth would be out .
And Xia Yehua had even said so…
At that time, Shen Liangchuan had gone out to meet up with his girlfriend . He had left the house in high spirits, but had come home all dejected with Song Yuanxi in tow .
His first love had died trying to save him . For that reason he felt he owed her his life, and therefore looked after her sister Song Yuanxi as though she was his own sister .
Then she recalled how, after he had visited Song Yuanxi at the filming location, he had spent all night in the room on the third floor .
Was it because he had felt guilt-stricken that day?
Qiao Lian laughed bitterly to herself .
She had never felt this lost .
Perhaps everyone had a life story that couldn’t be erased .
She was no exception . Eight years ago, she and Zi Chuan had been each other’s first love and she would never forget that .
She couldn’t possibly blame Shen Liangchuan .
Besides, did he really have a first love? She didn’t know it for a fact .
But what was this nagging feeling inside her?
As she walked out of the hotel’s main entrance, a gust of icy wind rushed at her, causing her to sneeze once .
At this point, she heard a voice coming from behind her . “Qiao Lian . ”
She turned around . It was Sun Linan . She paused as she noticed the care and concern on his expression .
She gave a crooked smile as she acknowledged him, “Sun Tzi . ” All at once, she felt loneliness and exhaustion descend upon her .
Sun Linan watched the girl before him—a pale and forlorn Qiao Lian .
The flash of distress in his eyes did not escape her .
He was silent for a brief moment before he spoke, “Qiao Lian, You can talk to me about your problems . I will help you unconditionally…”
One time, he had trailed her to a luxurious villa district .
On her own with a little brother in tow, it was impressive enough that she had manged to survive . There was no way she could afford that sort of property… unless… she had married a rich man .
And today, she was not acting like her normal self .
The way she had dashed up to the 12th floor a moment ago… could she have been trying to bust an illicit affair?
All of a sudden, he felt a dull ache in his heart, as though an invisible hand was squeezing it .
His Qiao Lian had always been determined and careless .
Never in his life had he seen her looking this helpless .
He wanted to help her and yearned to bring her happiness . Even if it was just to make her smile for a moment, it was good enough for him .
And surely this simple offer of his now would finally move her .
She looked at him and after a moment of hesitation, she said, “Thank you . ”
Without another word, she stepped onto the sidewalk and hailed a cab .
This time, he did not try to stop her .
–
After driving away and leaving the hotel, Shen Liangchuan’s car halted at a red traffic light along a street .
His expression was complex as he looked straight ahead at the red light . His mind was still replaying the heated argument in the hotel room .
Never in his life would he have expected Song Yuanxi to find out about Qiao Lian’s identity and cause so much trouble .
Her repeated attempts to set Qiao Lian up made him want to kill Song Yuanxi .
But alas, Song Yuanxi was right about one thing .
The marriage between him and Qiao Lian… had started off with the intention to take revenge on her, to torture her to the brink of death .
But in the process, things had gradually changed .
He found out that he couldn’t bear to see her get hurt even for a bit .
Without realizing it himself, he had fallen so deeply in love with her .
