Qiao Lian sat in the car looking intently at Shen Liangchuanâs profile . She said, âThe landlordââ
âIn touch again when exactly?â
She was abruptly interrupted by Shen Liangchuan .
Unable to contain her amusement, she burst out laughing .
âDonât worry, I wonât let him get too close to me . â
âBecause I donât want to-â
Then Qiao Lian suddenly stopped short .
Shen Liangchuan kept silent, waiting patiently to hear what it was that she wanted to say .
Qiao Lian pursed her lips, trying to find an excuse . But seeing the look on Shen Liangchuanâs face, she didnât want to lie . âI donât really want to talk about the past . âSo she was hiding something after all .
Shen Liangchuanâs expression darkened . It wasnât surprising though . Going from being the little mistress in a wealthy family to being in dire straits, she had probably experienced considerable difficulties .
If she didnât feel ready to talk about it, he wasnât going to push her .
Shen Liangchuan looked ahead and changed the topic, âDonât worry about the villa . Let the players continue their training . Iâll talk to the landlord to get it back . â
Although it would probably come at great expense, it was better than having to move .
She looked out the window and realized they were heading to the suburbs . She immediately asked, âWhere are we going?â
Shen Liangchuan gave her a quick glance . âYou havenât eaten . â
So was he taking her out for lunch?
She was pleasantly surprised . Suddenly, she noticed the car plate of the vehicle behind theirs . Her surprise turned into shock as she realized that Sun Linan was trailing them .
Shen Liangchuan, who was used to avoiding paparazzi all the time, was extremely sensitive to this as well, as he noticed the car behind them .
He honked . Sun Linan must have gathered that he had been busted, hence he sped up until his car drew level with Shen Liangchuanâs .
Qiao Lian wound down her window and saw Sun Linanâs face looking back at her .
She deeply frowned at him . âSun Tzi, what are you doing?â
Sun Linan shouted, âWhere are you going?!â
âLooking for somewhere to have a meal!â Qiao Lian replied .
âMe too!â Sun Linan shot back .
Qiao Lian went along with it helplessly . Was this really a coincidence?
Shen Liangchuan then spoke, âYou mean youâre heading for Pin Chuan Restaurant too?â
Sun Linanâs eyes lit up and replied immediately, âThatâs right! I havenât had Sichuan food for a long time, so I thought of going there . â
Shen Liangchuan looked away as he said, âThen weâre going different ways . Youâll need to get off the expressway at the next exit . â
Sun Linan looked flabbergasted .
So why did you use the word âtooâ!?
But then again, who was Sun Linan?
Sun Linan immediately changed his tone, âI just remembered, I have had a bad stomach these days and should stay away from spicy food . Iâll join you guys for lunch . â
Shen Liangchuan replied, âWeâre going for Chongqing food, itâs spicy too . â
Sun Linan persisted, â⌠I still feel like having spicy food . â
Thoroughly annoyed, Shen Liangchuan decided to stop talking .
He had never met anyone so shameless .
Qiao Lian tightly pressed together her lips . âSun Tzi, we really do have some business to discuss . â
Sun Linan nodded . âI know . I wonât interrupt you guys . You have your lunch and Iâll have mine . â
Qiao Lian couldnât do much, simply nod .
The two cars pulled up at the private restaurant one after the other .
It was a classy venue that admitted only VIP card holders .
Shen Liangchuan tossed his car keys over to the valet and led Qiao Lian into the restaurant .
Sun Linan followed in their direction after parking the car, striding to catch up from behind . However he was stopped by the security .
âEh, Iâm with them! Let me in! Xiao Lian, tell them!â
Qiao Lian wanted to speak up, but Shen Liangchuan continued walking ahead and kept silent .
Qiao Lian helplessly followed him .
