Buying the villa?Qiao Lian asked . âWhy are you buying a villa? Besides, why did you choose this small district to buy a villa?â
Sun Linan was about to answer Qiao Lianâs question .
But a vehicle in the distance suddenly honked again, interrupting their conversation .
Qiao Lian turned around and saw the flickering lights of Shen Liangchuanâs car .
This was an indication that he was getting impatient .
Qiao Lian turned around to look at Sun Linan . âSun Tzi, letâs get in touch when both have a bit of time . I really have to attend to something urgently today . I have to go . â
Although he was a close childhood friend, that was in the past . She didnât feel inclined to keep regular contact .
Although it had only been momentarily, she noticed a flash of pain in Sun Linanâs eyes as she said those words . However she remained firm and insistent on leaving . As she turned to go, she suddenly felt someone firmly grabbing her arm .
She paused for a moment and turned around . Sun Linan was looking back at her with a serious expression that she found difficult to interpret . âLian Lian, do you- do you really dislike me?â
He lowered his gaze . âWhen we were young, I loved to bully you . It was because Iââ
Before he could finish his sentence, the car in the distant gave another impatient honk .
Qiao Lian was getting flustered and wanted to free herself from his grip . âSun Tzi, I really do have something urgent to settle . If you want to speak, just give me a call . â
But Sun Linan wouldnât release his hold on her . âLian Lian, youâre in a hurry every time I see you . Canât we just have a meal together?â
He was exasperated and looked at Qiao Lian pleadingly with wide eyes and full of sincerity .
Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment . Among all the troublesome friends she had hung out with in her youth, she had been closest to Sun Linan .
For old timesâ sake she said, âOkay, how about tomorrow? Weâll go out for a meal tomorrow . â
Sun Linan nodded . âFine . Oh, and the roses, did you like them?â
Since he had brought up the topic of the roses, Qiao Lian halted and turned around . âSun Tzi, please donât send any more roses . â
She couldnât really tell him that Best Actor Shen was jealous .
âEr, because itâs too glaring and invites unwanted attention in the office . âSun Linan thought for a moment and made a gesture, showing that he had understood . âWell, let me know where you live . Iâll send them to your home then . â
Qiao Lian was dumbstruck .
She sighed . âSun Tzi, Iâm no longer the Qiao familyâs pampered little mistress . â
Sun Linan was a little stunned on hearing this .
Qiao Lian continued, âMy life is all about putting bread on the table and being able to provide for myself . I have no need for extravagant things like roses . Do you understand what Iâm trying to say?â
There wasnât a more obvious way to reject a person .
Sun Linan considered what she had said . âI understand . â
Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief, but she quickly realized that she was wrong . âSo perhaps next time I can send meat, rice, and vegetables . Or I could order lunch for you every day . â
Qiao Lian was dumbstruck .
She was about to say something, when suddenly the sound of a car door opening was heard from the distance .
She panicked and turned around immediately . To her horror, she saw Shen Liangchuan getting out of the car . He was wearing his sunglasses and a mask .
This was simply⌠too dangerous!
Although they were in the outskirts, there were still many people out and about .
What if someone took a picture of this?
She tried to shake off Sun Linanâs grip once more, wishing that he would get back into his car . But he simply wouldnât let go . Then, wide-eyed, she stared helplessly as Shen Liangchuan walked right up to the two of them .
She prayed with all her might that Sun Linan wouldnât recognize Shen Liangchuan, given that he had his sunglasses and mask on .
But as she was hoping for the worst not to happen, Shen Liangchuan took off his sunglasses and removed his mask .
