Qiao Lian was sound asleep and her breathing even—sleeping like she didn’t have a care in the world .
Shen Liangchuan took a glance at her and suddenly reached out for the cell phone to reply to Sun Linan’s message:
[Getting you to compliment me as the grandchild?]
Sun Linan immediately responded:
[Hahaha, Xiao Lian, you’ve developed a sense of humour after all these years?]
“Was he being humorous?” thought Shen Liangchuan . He was obviously being sarcastic .
Sun Linan continued firing messages, chatting:
[Lian Lian, why do you take so long to reply? What are you doing?]
What else could she be doing?
Shen Liangchuan replied:
[Sleeping]
And he wasn’t lying either .
Sun Linan continued:
[What? So early! You used to be a night owl!]
What night owl? Qiao Lian had always gone to bed early as far back as when he first knew her .
Shen Liangchuan refrained from responding .
The other party sent yet another two messages:
[Well, you rest early then . I’ll come pick you up and drive you to work tomorrow morning . Let’s have dinner together after work . ]
[I know where you’re stay, don’t you try to lie to me . I’ll wait for you at the villa’s entrance in the morning . ]
Shen Liangchuan scowled .
He had the audacity to suggest driving her to and from work? That ignoramus!
He turned to look at Qiao Lian with an icy expression .
So she liked to play house and role-play the bride, and also liked having that guy role-play the groom?
They hadn’t even had a wedding ceremony .
As these things went through his mind, he stared blankly into space with an unfathomable look in his eyes .
The following day, Qiao Lian had a naggy feeling that Shen Liangchuan was behaving oddly .
He was staring at her intently while she washed up up .
And during breakfast, he kept staring at her intently .
After breakfast, as Qiao Lian grabbed her bag and was about to leave for work, he walked over to her saying, “I’ll drive you to work . ”
After some time, she had gotten used to him taking her to work and driving her home, so she thought nothing of it . However, after she got into the car…
“Hey? Why are we leaving through the back gate? That would mean a big detour . ”
Shen Liangchuan replied calmly, “Oh, I need to get something done along the way . ”
“Oh . ”
However after they drove through the back gate, he took a detour before going back onto the usual route .
“Didn’t you say you needed to get something done along the way?” Qiao Lian asked, puzzled .
Shen Liangchuan replied, “I just remembered, no need for that after all . ”
Qiao Lian looked at him, completely baffled .
Shen Liangchuan coughed once, completely unperturbed .
On arriving at the office building, they said their goodbyes .
“I’ll pick you up tonight . ”
Qiao Lian nodded .
Shen Liangchuan suddenly added, “Oh, I’ve also asked Qiao Yi to come to dinner, so don’t be late . ”
Qiao Yi was coming with them?
Because of his condition, Qiao Yi seldom ventured out of the house . As this was a rare occasion, Qiao Lian was determined to put in extra effort .
She immediately nodded . “No problem . ”
She turned and walked into the office building, but only after watching Shen Liangchuan’s car disappear into the distance .
As Qiao Lian stepped into the office, she could sense immediately that something wasn’t quite right .
She noticed that the members of Team One were stealing glances in her direction and had a smug expression on their faces . Something must be up .
Qiao Lian walked to her office and when she stepped in, she saw Su Meimei standing there and giving orders to Shi Nianyao, “Look at how untidy your office is . Go clean it up . ”
Shi Nianyao refused to budge, “We have cleaning ladies, don’t we?”
“Do as you’re told!”
Shi Nianyao looked up with defiance . “But why?”
Su Meimei was flustered . Ever since Shi Nianyao had stepped into the news agency against her wishes, she had been looking for opportunities to torture the girl . But, alas, Shi Nianyao was extremely crafty .
Su Meimei’s expression was quite hostile, and her tone was arrogant and bossy . “This is the managing editor’s orders! If you don’t like it, you can leave!”
