Her wronged expression only irritated him even more!
He narrowed his eyes and stared deeply into hers .
All the shame and hate that he had experienced eight years ago had sparked a notion within him—he wanted nothing more than to strangle her .
That way, he could settle things once and for all .
However, as he looked at her elongated neck, he could not bear to take action .
He thought of the time when she was being mistreated by the servants . Only then did he realize that he could not bear to watch her get hurt .
Only he knew of the depth of his love for her .

However, this deep love he had was not worth a single penny in her eyes . To her, it was part of the artificiality of the Internet .
He was such a proud man . Yet, he had given away his love to someone who would trample all over it .
As he thought about this, the irritation within his body began to slowly intensify again . He wanted nothing more than to take advantage of her entire body!
He immediately lowered his head and grabbed her chin with his large hands . However, he stopped his movements after observing that the girl’s eyelashes were trembling nervously .
He suddenly felt pity for himself and laughed . He took a step back and wiped his hands with a tissue, as though they had been stained by a dirty object . Then, he turned away and walked downstairs .
Qiao Lian leaned against the wall and looked at the wide open door to the study . She then heard him walking downstairs and heading outside .
Everything that he had done had felt like a slap to her face .

She bit her lip, hurriedly calmed herself down and ran downstairs as well .
Noticing Xia Yehua’s anxious gaze, Qiao Lian squeezed out a smile and said, “Mom, it’s all right . I’ve already hashed things out with him, so we’ll be heading home first . Hahaha…”
Once she finished speaking, she chased after him and headed outside . However, Shen Liangchuan’s car had already driven away .
She turned back and saw Xia Yehua and Song Yuanxi’s expressions . With an awkward smile, she pointed outside and said, “Well, I’m trying to lose some weight by walking back…”
After she said that, she immediately ran into the darkness .
She walked back to Villa 8 despondently, but then realized that Shen Liangchuan had not returned after all .
Dejected, she went upstairs, laid on the bed and hit herself on the head .

She had always been quite witty and intelligent, so why could she not figure out the reason why Shen Liangchuan was unhappy?
She fell asleep in a daze .
For the next few days, Shen Liangchuan did not return home .
Qiao Lian wanted to follow him, but she realized that she had no way of tracking him down .
Then, one morning, she was rudely awoken by a call from the chief editor .
In a daze, she held the cell phone to her ear and heard the stern, commanding voice of the chief editor . “Qiao Lian, come to the news agency immediately!”
She hurriedly bathed and changed her clothes . When she rushed to the news agency, she realized that every employee in the agency was on edge . Judging by their expressions… was some important person visiting the agency?
In a daze, she heard Su Meimei say, “Mr . Wang, it’s her! She was the one who exposed the scandal between Li Siqi and you . She was also the one who wrote about your conflict with Best Actor Shen!”
As she finished speaking, Qiao Lian instantly turned her head around and saw a furious Wang Wenhao rushing at her with two bodyguards in tow .
Without another word, she turned around and ran!
However, before she could take more than a couple of steps, the bodyguards had forcefully grabbed her arm and pulled her to Wang Wenhao .
Qiao Lian struggled mightily, but her strength was no match for the group of bodyguards . Her arms were quickly wrenched behind her back and she was subdued . She was unable to move her body at all .
She worriedly raised her head to look at Wang Wenhao . Before she could speak, she saw the other party suddenly raise his arm .
Piak!
A tight slap landed on her face!
