Qiao Lian sat in the car looking intently at Shen Liangchuan’s profile .

She said, “The landlord—”
“In touch again when exactly?”
She was abruptly interrupted by Shen Liangchuan .
Unable to contain her amusement, she burst out laughing .
“Don’t worry, I won’t let him get too close to me . ”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want to-”
Then Qiao Lian suddenly stopped short .
Shen Liangchuan kept silent, waiting patiently to hear what it was that she wanted to say .
Qiao Lian pursed her lips, trying to find an excuse . But seeing the look on Shen Liangchuan’s face, she didn’t want to lie . “I don’t really want to talk about the past . ”

So she was hiding something after all .
Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened . It wasn’t surprising though . Going from being the little mistress in a wealthy family to being in dire straits, she had probably experienced considerable difficulties .
If she didn’t feel ready to talk about it, he wasn’t going to push her .
Shen Liangchuan looked ahead and changed the topic, “Don’t worry about the villa . Let the players continue their training . I’ll talk to the landlord to get it back . ”
Qiao Lian nodded .
Although it would probably come at great expense, it was better than having to move .
She looked out the window and realized they were heading to the suburbs . She immediately asked, “Where are we going?”
Shen Liangchuan gave her a quick glance . “You haven’t eaten . ”
So was he taking her out for lunch?
She was pleasantly surprised . Suddenly, she noticed the car plate of the vehicle behind theirs .

Her surprise turned into shock as she realized that Sun Linan was trailing them .
She frowned .
Shen Liangchuan, who was used to avoiding paparazzi all the time, was extremely sensitive to this as well, as he noticed the car behind them .
He honked . Sun Linan must have gathered that he had been busted, hence he sped up until his car drew level with Shen Liangchuan’s .
Qiao Lian wound down her window and saw Sun Linan’s face looking back at her .
She deeply frowned at him . “Sun Tzi, what are you doing?”
Sun Linan shouted, “Where are you going?!”
“Looking for somewhere to have a meal!” Qiao Lian replied .
“Me too!” Sun Linan shot back .
Qiao Lian went along with it helplessly .

Was this really a coincidence?
Shen Liangchuan then spoke, “You mean you’re heading for Pin Chuan Restaurant too?”
Sun Linan’s eyes lit up and replied immediately, “That’s right! I haven’t had Sichuan food for a long time, so I thought of going there . ”
Shen Liangchuan looked away as he said, “Then we’re going different ways . You’ll need to get off the expressway at the next exit . ”
Sun Linan looked flabbergasted .
So why did you use the word “too”!?
But then again, who was Sun Linan?
Sun Linan immediately changed his tone, “I just remembered, I have had a bad stomach these days and should stay away from spicy food . I’ll join you guys for lunch . ”
Shen Liangchuan replied, “We’re going for Chongqing food, it’s spicy too . ”
Sun Linan persisted, “… I still feel like having spicy food . ”
Thoroughly annoyed, Shen Liangchuan decided to stop talking .
He had never met anyone so shameless .
Qiao Lian tightly pressed together her lips . “Sun Tzi, we really do have some business to discuss . ”
Sun Linan nodded . “I know . I won’t interrupt you guys . You have your lunch and I’ll have mine . ”
Qiao Lian couldn’t do much, simply nod .
The two cars pulled up at the private restaurant one after the other .
It was a classy venue that admitted only VIP card holders .
Shen Liangchuan tossed his car keys over to the valet and led Qiao Lian into the restaurant .
Sun Linan followed in their direction after parking the car, striding to catch up from behind . However he was stopped by the security .
“Eh, I’m with them! Let me in! Xiao Lian, tell them!”
Qiao Lian wanted to speak up, but Shen Liangchuan continued walking ahead and kept silent .
Qiao Lian helplessly followed him .
