Shen Liangchuan had a faint smile on his face as he observed the blushing Qiao Lian, lowering her head and walking away at a quickened pace .
He knew she was embarrassed .
Looking down, he also quickened his pace and caught up to her .
They exited through the back door, got into the van and headed back to the hotel .
After ensuring that all the CQ team members were back, Qiao Lian washed up .
By the time she walked out of the washroom and picked up her cell phone, she realized that it was flooding with messages .
She had been mentioned and tagged countless times on Weibo, and even as she picked up the cell phone, it kept vibrating non-stop .
She logged out of Weibo and sat on the bed in a daze, recalling Shen Liangchuan’s proposal earlier today .
The proposal had been completely unexpected and it had caught her off guard .
Even now, she felt like it was a dream and she hadn’t quite woken up from it .
When Shen Liangchuan walked out of the bathroom after his shower, she was still in a daze .
As he came near her, she caught a whiff of the fresh after-shower scent . She looked up immediately and noticed that he had a towel wrapped around his waist . He stood in front of her, bent over and lowered . Looking into her eyes, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
Since he had just showered, some water drops were rolling down his face from his wet hair . They fell on his bare chest and continued their journey down, finally disappearing into the towel .
Feeling the urge of that temptation, she coughed and quickly looked away .
Then as though remembering something, she suddenly looked up at Shen Liangchuan . She asked, “Outside the restroom today, King pointed at The Deputy Godfather and said something . What did he say?”
Shen Liangchuan hadn’t expected that question from her .
He paused, wondering if he should tell her .
And at this point, Qiao Lian’s cell phone rang .
She looked down at the screen . It was Su Penghao . His voice sounded from the other end of the line the moment she picked it up, “The Deputy Godfather has gone nuts . He says he wants to tell us something and wants you to come over . And if Brother Shen can, he should come over too . ”
Qiao Lian nodded and replied, “We’ll be over right away . ”
She quickly got changed after hanging up, and left the room with Shen Liangchuan .
The team was staying in the same hotel . As they walked along the corridor, Qiao Lian turned to Shen Liangchuan and asked, “I’m guessing you know what he wants to tell us . ”
The man was silent for a moment and said, “Let’s just listen to what he has to say . ”
She nodded as they arrived at Su Penghao’s room .
Su Penghao was staying in a suite, hence the team members were all gathered in the living area, with The Deputy Godfather standing in the centre . They saw the couple walk in .
He finally took a deep breath and said, “I’ve asked all of you to come over because there is something I need to tell you . I can’t just pretend it didn’t happen, because it’s eating away at my conscience . ”
“Before the match today, King approached me saying that he’d pay me two million if I lost the match . That was why I chose such a champion in the first segment . ”
The Godfather was immediately furious when he heard this . He jumped onto his feet and drew his posture straight, saying, “Brother, what did you just say?! Say it again!”
The Deputy Godfather hung his head and continued, “I’ve made a mistake . I know now I was wrong . That was why in the next two matches, I tried my best to salvage the situation . But even though we won, I’m unable to get over my mistake . So I’m coming clean now and I will accept whatever decision the club takes . ”
