Qiao Lian retorted, āOf course . But I was going to get this for you!āShen Liangchuan looked surprised . āFor me?ā
Qiao Lian nodded . āYes . You gave me a necklace, so I want to give you something too . Even though they donāt match in terms of monetary value, itās still a gift from my heart . ā
His gaze softened as he pursed his lips and looked at her .
However, Qiao Lian was now busy with the dilemma as to which ornament to select . She looked from one to the other asking, āWhat type do you likeāā
Qiao Lian could not tell from their match whether Shen Liangchuan was a good player . During the match, his champion had spent most of the time dodging her attacks, hence she had no way of knowing which character he liked .
Not taking his eyes off her, he suddenly reached out and from the shelf, he took a mini replica of a short dagger .
That wasā¦Qiao Lianās pupils suddenly shrank as she heard Shen Liangchuan said, āThis is the one I want . ā
Qiao Lian stared steadily at the dagger replica . She slowly lowered her gaze, as though trying to hide the wave of emotions that was washing through her .
This dagger was the champion Zhou Yuās weapon in Lot .
Zhou Yu was an assassin warrior . While Xiao Qiao was the champion used by Qiao Lian back then, Zi Chuanās favorite champion had been Zhou Yu .
And now, Shen Liangchuan had chosen Zhou Yuās dagger .
Qiao Lian immediately shook her head, in an attempt to shake off the memories from the past .
Zi Chuan was history, she shouldnāt think of him anymore . It would be unfair to Shen Liangchuan . If she expected Shen Liangchuan to love her whole-heartedly, then how could she give in return anything less?
With great efforts to push aside those thoughts from the past, Qiao Lian settled for the dagger, saying, āSure . Iāll pay now . ā
The two workers were still watching the movie when the couple came up to the checkout counter .
āIāll take this,ā Qiao Lian called out as she held out the item to the service staff .
One of them quickly walked over with a smile . She scanned the item and said, ā188 . ā
Qiao Lian took out her purse . As she drew out her money, she asked casually, āYou like Best Actor Shen too?āThe cashier immediately cupped her cheeks with her hands . āYes! I really like him! Heās so dashing! And his acting skills are superb . I have so many posters of him at home . If only I could meet him some day . Even if itās just to exchange a sentence- no- even just to walk by him!ā
Qiao Lian threw a sidelong glance at Shen Liangchuan and slid a bill across the counter top . āIām sure your dream will come true . ā
Returning the change to Qiao Lian, the service staff grinned and said, āHope your words bring me luck! Please come again!ā
On the journey home, Qiao Lian couldnāt stop smiling .
The car drove along and very quickly, they left behind the bustling district and came to the villa district .
On entering the villa district, they went to see Xia Yehua at her apartment before returning to their villa .
Normally, they would use the main road to access the apartment but today there was a car parked along the main road, blocking it . Hence, Shen Liangchuan had to make a detour to access the property from the back .
The car drove along a well-lit curved road .
As Qiao Lian glanced out of the window, she suddenly caught sight of two figures in a corner not too far off .
One of the figures handed something over to the other, and the latter quickly stuffed the item into his bag .
Although there was some distance between the car and the people, Qiao Lian, who was no stranger to dealing with money, could tell right away that the āitemā was a wad of banknotes .
The person handing the wad of banknotesā¦ how was it that there was an uncanny resemblance to Song Yuanxi? And as for the other figureā¦
Qiao Lianās pupils immediately shrank as she recognized the figureā¦ It was housekeeper Wang Lan!
