That familiar strong scent suddenly neared Qiao Lian. She was so shocked that she momentarily stopped breathing.
As she looked at his face, which was less than five centimeters away, she was so shocked she couldn’t speak clearly,
Mr., Mr. Shen?
He squinted his eyes, and slight discomposure flashed across his eyes. It made Qiao Lian feel that the current him was weird.
Then she heard him say,
Indeed, you have to thank me.
Qiao Lian widened her eyes as he continued,
You put in so much effort just to secretly exchange our phones. Wasn’t it just to enter the filming set and force me to teach her a lesson?
Qiao Lian was stunned.
So, that was what he thought of her.
She didn’t want to be misunderstood by him,
I didn’t take the wrong phone on purpose, I-
Where’s the evidence?
Those three words prevented Qiao Lian from continuing her next sentence.
Why would there be evidence of her accidentally taking the wrong phone?!
She had no means to prove that she hadn’t done it on purpose.
Qiao Lian clenched her fist,
I didn’t ask for your help.
Shen Liangchuan made a
tsk
sound and said,
If I hadn’t helped you today and you were to be exposed as Mrs. Shen in the future, it would become a stain in my career.
So that was the reason he had helped her?
Qiao Lian was stunned.
Suddenly, a horn sounded. Through the rear mirror, they could see that the car behind them was impatiently switching its headlights on and off.
Shen Liangchuan then returned to his seat and started the car.
His expression returned to normal as he looked forward. However, his heart couldn’t calm down.
She had thanked him, but ironically enough he could only hear a strong sense of sarcasm in her words.
She had mistreated him badly eight years ago, yet he was helping her now…
A sense of irritation emerged once again.
He opened a slit in the window, and the cold wind blew in. His anger was then eased.
He looked at her from the corner of his eye and realized she had kept quiet and been looking down after she finished her previous sentence.
At that moment, the wind was blowing her hair, and she was subconsciously hugging herself. Her body was trembling from the cold.
The little anger left in him suddenly disappeared upon witnessing that scene.
He calmly and quietly closed the window while looking forward.
After a while, they returned to the Shen Villa.
As the car stopped, Shen Liangchuan left the car and entered the living room, without waiting for Qiao Lian.
Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief. She felt that it was easier to breathe than before.
She then got out of the car and entered the room.
The living room no longer had any trace of Shen Liangchuan. The caretaker walked over and said,
Ms. Qiao, Mr. is in the room upstairs.
When Qiao Lian heard that, she acknowledged and entered the guest room upstairs.
Shen Liangchuan definitely wouldn’t want to see her now. Why would she want to appear in front of him and annoy him?
After a while, the caretaker knocked on the door and entered the room,
Ms. Qiao, Mr. said that your arm’s injured, and he sent me to treat it for you.
He still remembered the wound on her arm?
As that thought emerged, she quickly shook her head and patted it.
Qiao Lian told herself,
You shouldn’t overthink!
After her wound was treated, the caretaker came back and brought her a light dinner.
After Qiao Lian finished her meal, she laid on the bed, holding Shen Liangchuan’s phone while looking at it.
Should she go over now and exchange the phone with him?
Qiao Lian left the bed, tiptoed out of the door and walked towards the master bedroom. As she stealthily opened the door, she could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom.
Excitement filled her suddenly. However, as she was about to rush in to look for her phone, the bathroom door suddenly opened. It was followed by Shen Liangchuan walking out dressed in a bathrobe.
