He quickly walked to the storeroom and pushed the door open.
But the room was empty. There was no one in it.
If it wasn't for the white gown scattered on the floor and the enchanting atmosphere in the air, he would have thought that everything had been a dream.
Qiao Lian staggered along the road.
The bright red gown made her face look even paler from the torture she had just endured.
Her makeup was a little smudged, but it didn't hide her original beauty.
She didn't know where she was going.
The sky was dark and the neon lights were turned on. The whole city was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
She could hear car horns and the occasional laughter of passersby.
But for the first time, she felt her heart sink.
His voice rang in her ears, "Do you like to pry into other people's privacy so much?"
At that moment, the disgust and anger in his voice hurt her.
She stared blankly ahead. After a while, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the call and heard her partner, Gao Youming's nervous voice, "Forget Chuan, where are you?"
Qiao Lian moved her lips, but realized that they were dry and cracked. Hence, she didn't speak.
Gao Youming's voice came through again, "Forget Chuan, you were too impulsive today! I know your company is forcing you to find out who Mrs. Shen is. You had to come up with a big scoop to suppress this matter. But there were so many big shots at the party. You could have easily gotten past the news agency with some explosive news. You — "
There was a sudden realization in her voice, "You- you were trying to suppress Best Actor Shen's popularity? Forget Chuan, although you're Best Actor Shen's fan, what does he have to do with you? Why are you so silly? I've never seen a fan who would work so hard for their idol! "
Qiao Lian bit her lip when she heard this and looked ahead again.
Gao Youming's words made her laugh self-deprecatingly.
She had always told herself to be rational when it came to chasing stars. Hence, people thought that she was just one of Shen Liangchuan's fans.
But no one knew how much he meant to her.
Eight years ago, during those difficult times, Shen Liangchuan had been the only light in her life.
He didn't know her.
But she had seen him climb up slowly, shining brightly.
Shen Liangchuan had always thought that she was someone who would sell her body for money.
But if it was someone else making a deal with her, she didn't know if she would agree so readily.
The more she liked him, the more his disgust for her was like a knife, grinding against her heart until it hurt …
Perhaps she shouldn't be so close to him.

By the time Shen Liangchuan reached home, it was already 11 p.m.
He parked the car outside the villa and looked up at the bedroom on the second floor.
She should be back by now, right?
Thinking of this, he looked down and picked up a small gift box from the passenger seat. Then, he got out of the car and entered the villa.
Butler Li hurried over to welcome him.
As Shen Liangchuan took off his coat, he asked casually, "Ms. Qiao is already asleep?"
Caretaker Li said, "Ms. Qiao isn't back yet!"
