His words caused Song Cheng and Qiao Lian to freeze instantaneously.
The squad leader looked at them suspiciously. Just as the two policemen were about to walk towards them, Qiao Lian hugged Shen Liangchuan and yelled shrilly, “Chuan! I can’t hold it in anymore! I’m about to give birth! Ah, ah, ah!”
Her shrill yells caused everybody to look over in her direction. Shen Liangchuan took the opportunity to walk forward and said, “Quick, bring the car here!”
The squad leader and the two policemen did not dare to stop them anymore. They could only stare wide-eyed as the group of people rushed outside and got into the nanny van that the assistants had just driven over. Not long after, they were gone.
Due to the urgency of getting into the car, Shen Liangchuan had sat down while still hugging her. Even though the driver had sped away from the scene rapidly, Qiao Lian stayed in his arms from start to finish.
She widened her eyes, about to tell him that he could let go of her already. However, when she raised her head, she saw Shen Liangchuan’s expression. He had a dazed look. She immediately swallowed her words and did not dare to speak.
Shen Liangchuan was indeed dazed.
The way that Qiao Lian had addressed him just now in the midst of all that chaos had made him suddenly remember the events that had happened many years ago…
Even though this happened eight years ago, the girl’s voice still sounded rather similar to her voice today — It was still clear and pleasant to the ear.
They had met each other due to a video game — in fact, they were in the same raid party and fighting the same boss monster. While they played, they usually switched on the in-game voice chat and talked with each other.
He liked the way she fussed around when she was impatient. Her expression then was similar to the look of craftiness she had on her face when she was threatening Song Cheng just now.
Sometimes, he would purposely tease her. In desperation, she would loudly yell out his name. “Chuan! Why are you acting so despicably!”
Chuan: …
His in-game username was ‘Chuan’.
Her in-game username was ‘Xiao Qiao’.
Just now, when she had desperately yelled out ‘Chuan’, was it because she had remembered their shared past?
As he thought about this, he lowered his head and saw that Qiao Lian’s heartless, blinking eyes were looking straight at him.
Shen Liangchuan momentarily felt a wave of stuffiness. He frowned and pushed her.
Bang!
Qiao Lian fell onto her derriere.
Even though the car’s floor was covered with a thick carpet and she did not feel any pain, her current posture was not graceful at all!
Qiao Lian opened her mouth to scold him, but when she saw Shen Liangchuan’s gaze, she could not help but swallow her words.
She patted her skin and tried to stand up. However, the car’s compartment was extremely squeezy. Furthermore, she was bearing a large belly. Thus, before she could stand up fully, her belly had already banged into the car seat and she fell on the floor again.
Qiao Lian could not help but purse her lips and glare at Shen Liangchuan.
Like a superhero, she had just saved the both of them. Yet, this person was turning his back on her!
Qiao Lian slowly stood up and took off the pregnancy clothes. After throwing them in the car, she found a seat and sat down.
During the rest of the ride, she did not speak with Shen Liangchuan at all.
The both of them reached the villa rather quickly.
Qiao Lian’s body was stained with chicken blood. She hopped off the car without a word and went upstairs to shower.
Shen Liangchuan stopped in his tracks. He had wanted to shower as well. He frowned and looked at the girl’s fading silhouette. Then, in low spirits, he walked to the living room to shower.
Once the both of them had finished showering, changed into clean clothes and walked downstairs, they saw Song Cheng standing in front of them. He said with a serious expression, “The word got out after all.”
He passed the cell phone to Shen Liangchuan. Qiao Lian hurriedly leaned close to him to look at the screen.
She saw the top headline on Weibo:
“Drug sting conducted at Hua Mao Hotel. Many celebrities arrested. Wang Wenhao claims Best Actor Shen was also in the hotel! Currently his claim has not been confirmed. However, reporters have tried to contact Best Actor Shen’s manager to no avail.”
Song Cheng’s other cell phone suddenly started ringing.
He rejected the call irritatedly and cursed. “This Wang Wenhao is practically crazy!”
