And so?

Qiao Lian eyes shone, thinking that he had understood what she meant . She quickly added, “I hate it when men spend unnecessarily—for example, when they splurge a fortune on flowers that wilt after a day!”
“But don’t women like romance?” asked Shen Liangchuan .
“I’m not a woman! Oh! What am I saying- I mean, I don’t like it . ”
“It’s true!” Qiao Lian promised . “I guarantee it! Whoever lies is a dog!”
Shen Liangchuan asked, “What’s the name of the director who directed Lord of Shanghai?”
Puzzled by the sudden change of topic, Qiao Lian replied, “Wang, of course!”
“What? Say it a few times . ”
“Wang Wang Wang!” 1
Qiao Yi could not help but burst out laughing .
Qiao Lian turned to look at him quizzically, and only then realized that Shen Liangchuan had pulled a prank on her .

She was done for!
So he had figured out that she knew .
She twitched her lips and lowered her head with embarrassment .
Throughout dinner she did not speak a word, looking like an obedient wife .
She hoped that by putting on her meekest behaviour, she would earn Shen Liangchuan’s forgiveness .
Unfortunately, the man kept his cool calmness and did not show any emotions or expression .
The lack of anger or any sort of reaction on his part made Qiao Lian squirm with discomfort .
After the three of them finished dinner, Shen Liangchuan drove them home .
Once they arrived at the villa, Shen Liangchuan lifted the wheelchair from the trunk and said to Qiao Lian, “I’m going out and might be coming home a little late . ”
Qiao Lian kept silent .

She watched as Shen Liangchuan got into his car and drove away .
She was still feeling very uneasy .
As though that was the end of her!
She feared that she might have offended Shen Liangchuan and he was upset by her remarks .
Oh no, what should she do now?
After Shen Liangchuan drove away from the villa, he stopped by the roadside .
He took out his cell phone and went into the call history . Indeed, there was a record of a phone call from Sun Tzi .
Hence, it was clear that Qiao Lian now knew that the bouquet and afternoon tea had not been from him .
He thought about the things she had said tonight .

Shen Liangchuan frowned .
He felt that perhaps it was true he was a stuffy man .
Given that Xia Yehua had complained that he was a bore, he wondered if Qiao Lian thought the same of him .
Could it be that eight years ago Qiao Lian had disappeared because he was a bore?
He frowned and loosened his tie, feeling a little frustrated .
He had never been in love, apart from that one online relationship eight years ago, hence he had no idea how to delight a girl .
But today, seeing the sparkle in her eyes had made him wish he had been the one bringing her that happiness .
He pursed his lips and dialed a number on his cell phone .
The line connected almost immediately and Mo Xicheng’s voice at the other end of the line said, “What’s up?”
“What would you do to impress a girl?”
Mo Xicheng paused and said in a relaxed manner, “Has your cell phone been stolen?”
Shen Liangchuan scowled, “Where are you?”
“Home”
Shen Liangchuan looked up at the night sky . “Wanna come out for a drink?”
Mo Xicheng was quick to agree . “Okay . I recall you have a bottle of Château Lafite-Rothschild in your villa in the new district?”
Shen Liangchuan raised his eyebrows .
“If you need a consultation, there’s a fee . Plus, it would be unwise for me to make an appearance at a bar at the moment . ”
Shen Liangchuan nodded . “Fine . I’ll pick you up . ”
It would probably be unwise for Mo Xicheng’s car to be spotted too .
After Shen Liangchuan picked Mo Xicheng, they drove to the outskirts of the city .
En route, Shen Liangchuan suddenly frowned and said, “We’re being followed . ”
