Qiao Lian agonized for a long time before blurting out, “Mr . Shen, you can drop me at the next bus stop . ”Shen Liangchuan looked over coldly and said, “Are you treating me like your personal chauffeur?”
Qiao Lian did not understand what he meant .
Shen Liangchuan coldly humphed and looked in front, saying, “I received a phone call from my mother this morning; she asked us to head over . ”
Qiao Lian momentarily tensed up and said, “Mom… What happened to Auntie Xia?”
After noticing her anxious expression, Shen Liangchuan’s gaze softened and he said, “It’s nothing . Yuanxi has returned, so we’re just going to greet her . ”
Yuanxi?Qiao Lian felt that the atmosphere had gotten overwhelmingly odd the moment Shen Liangchuan brought up this name .
Shen Liangchuan was a proud man, and nobody could make him bow his head . Anyone who observed the relationship between his manager and him would also realize that he was not a man who liked to be controlled by others .
Even after being married to him for about six months, she had never seen him accommodate anyone .
However, at this present moment, when someone had returned to the villa… Why did he want to go over and take a look for himself?
She bit her lip and did not know whether to ask him or not .
Her lips quivered, but she remained silent . She did not notice that when he mentioned Yuanxi, Shen Liangchuan seemed to have recalled something and his gaze had darkened .
He suddenly said, “Yuanxi is young and immature, so I treat her like my younger sister . You should be tolerant of her . ”
His words caused a sudden feeling of distress to spark within her heart .
She had thought that Shen Liangchuan had always been a cold-hearted person .
However, it turns out that he had occasional moments of gentleness .
Except, those gentle moments were not directed at her .
This discovery instantly damped down her mood . After another five minutes, the car arrived at villa 18 .
As they entered, Qiao Lian saw someone push open the door to the living room . Then, a petite figure appeared in the room . She was wearing an army green sweater, which complemented her porcelain white face . She looked like an easily embarrassed younger sister .
As Qiao Lian thought about it, the car stopped .
Shen Liangchuan opened the door nearest to the driver seat, walked out of the car and went to the girl’s side .
Qiao Lian took some time to get off, thus she did not hear their conversation clearly . She could only see the girl tilt her head and smile inwardly . Shen Liangchuan tousled her hair affectionately .
She slowly approached them and saw the girl lower her head and say in a quiet voice, “Brother Liangchuan, you’re teasing me again . I’m going to ignore you . ”
Shen Liangchuan said in a low voice, “All right, hurry up and enter the house . ”
He looked as though he hadn’t even noticed Qiao Lian’s presence and did not seem as though he was going to introduce them .
The girl looked at Qiao Lian with her mouth agape . She wanted to greet her, but seemed like she did not dare to do so . After looking at Shen Liangchuan, she only managed to smile compassionately at Qiao Lian before following him inside .
Xia Yehua had already stood up and said, “I had already told you many times that Yuanxi’s flight would land yesterday evening . Why did you not come over then?”
Shen Liangchuan walked over and sat on the sofa without explaining himself .
A flustered Xia Yehua wanted to speak further, but Qiao Lian immediately went up to her and said, “Mom, he had something going on last night . Yesterday, he was in a meeting with Song Cheng until late in the night . It was simply too late to meet anyone . ”
Xia Yehua’s expression softened, but she still humphed at Shen Liangchuan before smiling at Qiao Lian . Holding her hand, she first introduced her to Yuanxi saying, “Yuanxi, this is your sister-in-law, Qiao Lian!”
She then said to Qiao Lian, “Qiao Lian, this is Song Yuanxi, my stepdaughter!”
