Qiao Lian didn't know why she had blurted out these words, but she waited for his response. 1357924? 6810gggggd
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Qiao Lian stared straight ahead, as though she was looking at the scenery outside the window, but in fact she wasn't looking at anything.
Her mind was filled with …
Had Shen Liangchuan recognized her?
She thought about how, when she had been at her wit's end, he had appeared out of nowhere, like a savior, and proposed a contract marriage.
She thought about how, when she had first married him, he had treated her coldly, with an inexplicable hostility.
Later on, she had thought that it was because she was his first love that he was treating her like that.
But now she realized that wasn't the case.
If that wasn't the case, then why?
Could it be because he hadn't recognized her as Xiao Qiao?
These complicated thoughts appeared in her mind, making her feel as though her brain wasn't big enough to process them.
She just stared straight ahead, not thinking about anything else. She just wanted to wait for his final answer.
Time passed, second by second.
The whole room was still in a state of silence.
After a while, the voice on the other side said, "I understand."
Qiao Lian felt a pang in her heart when she heard his casual remark.
How could he be so calm?
She thought about how excited she had been when she had found out that he was Zi Chuan, and then compared it to how he was now.
She was almost certain that Shen Liangchuan had known that she was Xiao Qiao all along.
But if he had known, why would he treat her like this?
Qiao Lian had so many questions that she wanted to ask him.
But when she opened her mouth, she realized that she didn't know what to say.
She just sat there in a daze.
For a moment, neither of them spoke, as though they had nothing to say.
After a long time, Qiao Lian snapped out of her daze.
What she wanted to know the most was … why hadn't he turned up for their meeting eight years ago?
She clenched her fists tightly and was about to ask him about this, when Song Cheng's voice came through, "Brother Shen, the director is waiting for you."
Qiao Lian paused and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She said to the cell phone in an understanding tone, "Go ahead then. We'll talk when you're free."
Shen Liangchuan nodded and said, "Take care of yourself."
"Alright."
After she hung up, Qiao Lian lay on the bed in the silence of the night. So it turned out that Shen Liangchuan was really busy with something and wasn't avoiding her.
But she didn't know …
In an office building in Beijing.
Shen Liangchuan stood in front of the French windows, quietly gazing into the distance. He was still holding the cell phone in his hand, in the same position as when he had just been on the phone.
Song Cheng stood behind him. Everyone in the office had already gotten off work, and only the two of them were left.
Song Cheng coughed and said, "Brother Shen, this … it's not good to lie to Ms. Qiao, right? “
As soon as he said this, he saw Shen Liangchuan's cold gaze on him. Immediately, he shut his mouth and chose to keep quiet.
Shen Liangchuan continued to stare into the distance.
His expression was calm but conflicted.
Although he had tried his best to cover up his actions during the game, Qiao Lian must have noticed something was amiss.
That was why she called him.
She said she wanted to ask a question …
He didn't need to think to know what she was going to ask.
But what happened eight years ago … When they spoke about it, it was a pain for both of them.
