Qiao Lian slowed down her steps even more when she saw that he was resting .
Her movements were very light and stealthy, almost holding her breath .
Then she walked into the bathroom . He heard her shut the bathroom door and soon after, there was the sound of running water .
A shower before bed .
The room was very well sound-proofed, so the sound of her taking a shower was almost negligible .
But right now, that sound was drilling into his brain, creating an unbearable noise in his head .
Shen Liangchuan’s eyes snapped open as he sat up in bed .
He felt as though there was a huge rock pushing down his chest, causing him to breathe with much difficulty .
He sat there motionless, with an almost blank look in his eyes .
The night was dragging on forever .
She had only been in the shower for 15 minutes but to him, it felt more like 15 hours .
When Qiao Lian finally stepped out of the bathroom, he sighed with relief .
She was surprised to see him sitting up in bed and asked, “Didn’t you sleep?”
He massaged his temples as he nodded and said, “I couldn’t fall asleep . ”
Couldn’t fall asleep?
Qiao Lian looked at him with a stunned expression .
He had always been mindful about maintenance of good health . But right now, he had dark circles under his eyes as though he had not slept well for a long time .
Recalling the situation in the office in the afternoon, she walked over to him and said, “Let me help you . ”
Shen Liangchuan paused and grunted, “Hmmm?”
She walked over and climbed into bed .
When she came close, a whiff of fresh scent filled his nose .
For some reason, the scent calmed him down .
She sat next to him, patted her thighs and said to him, “Come, lie over here . ”
Puzzled, he lay down where she asked him to and the next moment, a gentle but icy cold pair of hands touched his temples .
When she gently pressed down, he felt soreness and distention .
Then she said, “I think Mom is hoping that we drop the charges against Shen Xiu . ”
Shen Liangchuan snorted with disdain .
She asked him, “Where did you take Shen Zihao earlier on?”
“Villa 18 . ”
She gasped in surprise and continued, “So the reason you left the villa in disarray was because you wanted Shen Zihao to see it?”
Shen Liangchuan did not deny it .
“I say! You- How did you know that Mei Feng was going to do this?”
“Just a guess . ”
Qiao Lian was amazed when she realized this and she said, “You are clever!”
Somehow, her praises had a soothing effect on him .
As the pair of little hands continued to work on his temple, the soreness and tension started to ease up and gradually went away .
“I do feel that we should let Shen Xiu off this time for Zihao’s sake . Mom really doesn’t wish for Zihao to be sad . ”
This sort of domestic small talk provided Shen Liangchuan a sense of their daily reality, as opposed to the thoughts that he had been having around Soul Fighter, which made him extremely sorrowful .
He gave a cold humph .
Qiao Lian continued, “As I was coming up, Mom told me to have a chat with you about it . It’s not that she doesn’t want to make Shen Xiu pay, but Shen Zihao was right in the fact that this is going to be his once-in-lifetime event . Even if Mei Feng didn’t mind it, she would . She doesn’t want to create any difficulties for Zihao . ”
He sighed and replied, “The greatest people in the world are always be mothers . Mom is someone who would rather be put in a difficult situation herself than to put any of her children through it . ”
“Although I don’t think I can forgive Shen Xiu, and even wish I could use this opportunity to greatly embarrass him to teach him a lesson, my heart aches for Mom when I see her like this . ”
“Shen Liangchuan, I’ve passed on the message . Whether we agree to it, it’s your call . ”
