It was dark in the room. She stared in a daze and switched on the headlamp. 13579246810ggaax
Shen Liangchuan's side of the bed was still warm.
This meant that he had been out for less than half an hour.
Qiao Lian put on her clothes, put on her slippers and walked out slowly.
When she opened the door to the master bedroom, she saw that the lights in the corridor were on. The chandelier in the living room was also switched on.
Qiao Lian walked downstairs in confusion and looked around.
This was the second time she had spent the night here, so she wasn't familiar with the place.
Although the layout was similar to the villa she and Shen Liangchuan were staying in, the room arrangements were different.
Seeing that the door to the balcony was open, she walked over slowly.
But as she was in a daze, she accidentally tripped over a rubbish bin.
In the quiet night, the rubbish bin made a clattering sound in the empty room, startling Qiao Lian.
She stood on the spot for a while before bending down to pick up the trash can.
At this point, the door creaked.
Auntie Li, who was staying downstairs, opened the door. She paused when she saw Qiao Lian and asked, "Madam? What are you doing? "
Qiao Lian smiled awkwardly and said, "I- I'm looking for Shen Liangchuan."
As he said this, he glanced at the balcony again.
Despite the loud noise, there was no movement from the balcony.
This meant that Shen Liangchuan wasn't there.
Indeed, Auntie Li asked, "Is Sir not in the bedroom?"
Qiao Lian nodded.
Auntie Li frowned and said, "I didn't hear Sir go out. If he's not in the bedroom, then he's probably —"
She looked up at the third floor and said, "On the third floor."
The third floor?
Qiao Lian followed Auntie Li's gaze and looked up.
The two villas were both three stories tall.
As there were not many people living here, most of the rooms were empty.
The third floor of the villa where she and Shen Liangchuan were staying was basically a storage room.
But the third floor of Xia Yehua's villa … she had never been there before.
At this moment, from downstairs, she could see that there was indeed light coming from one of the rooms on the third floor through a crack in the door.
Qiao Lian nodded in realization and said, "I'll go check on him then."
She straightened the rubbish bin and walked up the stairs, intending to go to the third floor.
But after taking two steps, she heard Auntie Li say, "Madam …"
Qiao Lian halted and turned around. She saw that Auntie Li was hesitating.
Qiao Lian raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Auntie Li, if there's anything you want to say, just say it."
Auntie Li had never been a meddlesome person. Moreover, ever since she came to the Shen Family, she had treated her well.
Although he didn't love her as much as Song Yuanxi, he still respected her.
However, such moments of hesitation were rare.
Auntie Li sighed at her words. "Madam, please don't be upset if I tell you."
She looked at the third floor. "Sir has never allowed anyone to go to that room on the third floor."
Afraid that Qiao Lian would feel that she was picking on her, Auntie Li added, "Miss Yuanxi has not been allowed in either."
However, he felt that it was inappropriate to compare Song Yuanxi to Qiao Lian, so he coughed and added, "Madam hasn't been there either."
In other words, besides Shen Liangchuan, no one else had entered that room?
Qiao Lian looked up curiously.
At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in the depths of his heart.
What was in that room on the third floor?
As for her, should she go and take a look?
S: What's in that room? What's up with Song Yuanxi? Please stay tuned.
