Their eyes met across the living room.
Qiao Lian paused briefly before she looked away awkwardly.
She didn’t know what to do, or what to say.
All at once, the atmosphere felt odd.
At this moment, Auntie Li appeared from the kitchen. “Senior Madam, Madam, you’re back. Dinner’s ready. Please quickly wash up and come to dine.”
Her breaking of the awkward silence lightened up the air.
Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua went back to the dining table after washing up.
The three of them ate in silence.
As Xia Yehua was too preoccupied with worrying about Song Yuanxi, she did not notice anything wrong between Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian.
After dinner, she headed upstairs with the intention of packing some clothes for Yuanxi. “I’m going to the hospital to watch over Yuanxi. I think she would cry if left alone.”
Without waiting to hear any objections from Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian, she hurriedly walked out of the room.
Auntie Li and the other housekeepers had all gone to the kitchen to clean up.
There were only Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan in the living room now.
Qiao Lian tried to look busy, surfing on Weibo on her cell phone.
Shen Liangchuan, on the other hand, continued to stare at his newspaper.
However, Qiao Lian noticed that for a long time he did not turn the pages of the newspaper.
What was on his mind?
Was he worried about Song Yuanxi’s condition or was it something else?
She clenched her fists and looked away.
After some time, she could no longer hold back. She asked, “Shen Liangchuan, who exactly is Song Yuanxi?”
Shen Liangchuan froze. He had not expected this question from her.
He looked up and saw that Qiao Lian was looking at him intently.
That look was both obstinate and probing.
But it also seemed as though she wanted to verify something.
He pursed his lips and slowly hung his head.
Qiao Lian was persistent and wasn’t going to let it go, even though she tried to sound relaxed. “Why can’t you tell me? Does it mean that her background is something I cannot know of?”
Shen Liangchuan sensed the underlying anger in her words.
He paused and finally he said, “Sister of an old friend.”
Sister of an old friend.
Qiao Lian repeated those words mockingly in her mind.
Against all odds, she had been hoping that Song Yuanxi’s words were all lies.
But now Shen Liangchuan had verified them himself.
Qiao Lian straightened her back and looked at Shen Liangchuan. She stubbornly continued, “And this old friend must be very important to you?”
She had to admit it.
She was jealous.
Song Yuanxi’s evil scheme had succeeded.
She could look past the fact that Shen Liangchuan had loved another girl before her, but she wanted to know right now, between her and his first love, who was the priority in his heart?
And she also knew that she was being unreasonable.
Perhaps being jealous of someone who was no longer around was the biggest joke in the world.
But she stared at him, relentlessly seeking that answer.
Then he said with absolute certainty, “Yes, very important.”
While his words seemed to float very clearly and lightly into her ears, they were like daggers viciously ripping through her heart.
In that moment, she felt as though all the energy had been drained out of her. She slumped back on the sofa, looking at him steadily.
She got up and said, “I’m tired.”
After those words, she made her way upstairs silently.
Shen Liangchuan looked at her back view, feeling the weight of his burden even more now.
Had Qiao Lian discovered something, to be asking about Song Yuanxi so suddenly?
He dropped his gaze at this thought.
He slowly relaxed his tightly clasped hands.
Then he stood up and slowly walked up the stairs, making his way to the master bedroom.
