Chapter 790: 790
Qiao Lian looked at him intently .
A sense of sorrow hung heavily between them .
Qiao Lian suddenly felt helpless .
Shen Liangchuan stood there, towering before her, as though he was the one who could shield her from the winds and storms .
But right now, she felt like something was getting in between them . She felt like she could not get through that barrier, unable to enter his heart completely .
Disappointed, she nodded .
She walked to the door and looked back, asking, “Your dinner…”
“I’ll order some takeaway meal . ”
She nodded again .
Qiao Lian took another look at him and said, “Rest early tonight . ”
“Okay . ”
Without another word after this, she turned and left the office .
–
The room instantly became silent .
The entire floor was empty except for his office . It glowed with the weak light of his lamp .
He felt exhausted as he sat down on the chair . His gaze fell on the computer screen .
He couldn’t figure out why it was that whenever he closed his eyes, the vision of Soul Fighter’s face, marred by blood and flesh, would appear . His mind would go into turmoil and he couldn’t get to sleep .
On top of that…
He wanted to go home .
But whenever he thought of Soul Fighter, he just couldn’t bring himself to speak .
He knew these were his own inner demons . He wanted to sort himself out before going home .
The last thing that he wanted was to repeat what happened the other day, when he pushed Qiao Lian away .
At this thought, he sat back on the sofa, feeling that every ounce of strength had left his body .
After a while, his cell phone rang .
He picked up the phone and heard Qiao Lian’s voice on the other end saying, “I’ve just ordered food for you . They’ll deliver it in a bit . Don’t forget to have your meal . ”
His heart felt a certain warmth as he softly said, “Okay . ”
“Take good care of yourself . ”
“Uh huh . ”
“I’m hanging up now . ”
Listening to her voice, he suddenly called out, “Xiao Qiao . ”
She paused . “Yes?”
“I’ll be home tonight . ”
At once, he could hear the happiness in her voice as she said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you . ”
Shen Liangchuan smiled after she hung up .
He looked at the computer screen and then turned it off .
He thought he must be crazy, to let Soul Fighter affect his life like this .
He stood up and picked up his jacket . Just as he was about to leave, he saw the delivery man walk in to deliver the food .
He frowned as he received the package .
The delivery man smiled and said, “Sir, our restaurant has included a complimentary appetizer . ”
Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank at these words .
Suddenly, as though realizing something, he looked down at the meal package and opened it . He saw that… the appetizer was Chameleon Plant!
Chameleon Plant .
Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes at once . Finally, he felt that something wasn’t right .
First, it was that shadow at the graveyard, then, it was the Chameleon Plant . These things had stirred his emotions in the last few days .
Because it made him feel as though Soul Fighter was just next to him .
And this feeling was too nerve-racking .
It wasn’t normal .
This Chameleon Plant wasn’t normal .
Once he figured this out, he suddenly looked up and realized that the delivery man was gone .
His pupils shrank at once .
Dropping the package on the ground, he dashed towards the elevator .
Running to the elevator, he saw that it was already on the way down .
He hurriedly dashed to the stair exit and started running down the stairs .
When he reached the ground floor, he saw the delivery man and hastened his steps to catch up .
