She lowered her head and looked at her lower abdomen.
Initially, she hadn’t thought much about not getting pregnant. However, right now her heart had sunk all of a sudden.
Shen Liangchuan would rather be misunderstood by Xia Yehua than to explain that it was her fault.
Such details displayed this man’s care for her.
Biting her lips, Qiao Lian returned to the room with the cell phone. Then, she went to the kitchen and started cooking noodles, as if nothing had happened.
However, her heart could not be pacified for a long time.
She clearly knew that it was only business between him and her, and that the best way to protect herself was to not fall for him. However, in this moment, there was something raging in the bottom of her heart, resembling a magnificent flower that was about to bloom.
A silent night.

The next day, Qiao Lian reported at the news agency punctually.
As soon as she sat down, she was welcomed by Su Meimei’s censure. “Qiao Lian, have you finished checking the article I sent yesterday?”
Qiao Lian sat calmly and answered with perfect assurance, “No.”
“No? Who allowed you to go home without finishing the work?”
Qiao Lian switched on her computer and said, “Sorry, but the contract that I signed with the news agency does not state that I have to work overtime unconditionally. Therefore, I worked until 10 p.m. yesterday because I am responsible for my work, but you don’t have the right to ask me to work for the entire night.”
“You—!”
Qiao Lian continued staring at the article. “Chief Editor Su, if there’s nothing else, I will proceed with my work.”
Su Meimei was fuming with rage through gritted teeth. After glaring at her for a long time, she sneered, “Of course I have something for you!”
She continued, “The news agency has arranged an interview with a B-rate celebrity at a cafe in Zhong Guan Village area. I am leaving this to you, I will send you the address later.”
When Qiao Lian heard this, she pressed her lips together and asked, “What time?”
“11 a.m.”
It was already past 9 a.m. She stood up and as soon as Su Meimei sent the address to her, she rushed over as quickly as possible.
There was some traffic on the way, but Qiao Lian still managed to reach the private room in the cafe by 10.50 a.m.
She heaved a sigh of relief. For interviews with reporters, the celebrities normally arrived on time, because arriving early would only bring down their status.
After taking a deep breath, she pushed open the private room’s door to go in, only to discover… there were already two people sitting in there.
One of them had an oppressing stance. There was power in her delicate makeup. It was the popular female star, Mo Ru, who had gained immense fame from an idol drama.
The other person was her manager.
Qiao Lian’s eyes narrowed when she saw them.
Before she could say anything, the manager asked immediately, “Are you the reporter from G8ssip News Agency?”
Qiao Lian nodded subconsciously. All of a sudden, something flashed before her eyes and next, a cup of cold coffee was spilled all over her!
With an icy look on her face, Mo Ru stood up in the blink of an eye. “We agreed to meet at 10 a.m., but you only arrived at 11 a.m. Is this the sincerity of your news agency?! Even though I, Mo Ru, am not an A-list celebrity, there are still reporters queuing for an interview with me! How dare you!”
When she finished her words, she left with her manager rampantly!
Standing on the spot, Qiao Lian’s clothes were dirty with the coffee. There was coffee smell in her mouth and nostrils. She looked pathetic with drenched hair stuck on her face.
Clenching her fist, she let out a sneer.
10 a.m. … Ha…
Good job, Su Meimei!
She had actually learned to use someone else in trying to bring her down, after just a few days of not seeing her?
