In a domineering and decisive manner, Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes.
He had already wanted to ask Qiao Lian the moment he saw her.
He would make sure that the person who hurt her would have to pay a hundred or thousand times for it!
Little did he expect that once he would say those words, the woman in his arms would actually stretched out both hands to hug his waist tightly.
Although she didn’t say a word, her demeanor suggested to Shen Liangchuan that she needed his company the most at this moment.
Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips tightly and didn’t say another word.
He didn’t know how much time he spent hugging her like this. After some time, the woman stopped moving.
He lowered his head only to realize that at some point, Qiao Lian had fallen asleep.
Her eyes were shut as she lay in his arms. She couldn’t ease her worries and was still frowning, even though she was asleep.
What had happened exactly to make her feel so sad and depressed?
With this thought on his mind, Shen Liangchuan gently placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
He then sat on the sofa quietly while fixing his gaze on her.
However, Qiao Lian secretly opened her eyes.
After being so depressed, at this moment she felt exhausted and only wanted to rest well as soon as possible, in order to reduce her heartache.
Even though she was lying on the bed, she could hardly fall asleep.
Using the blanket to cover herself, she could see that Shen Liangchuan was sitting on the sofa.
He remained still, yet his expression of worry and concern could be seen clearly.
She had been too sad to realize what had happened earlier on. At this moment, she came to a realization as to what Shen Liangchuan had done.
She had never seen Shen Liangchuan so gentle before. It seemed that even if she had asked for the stars in the sky, he would have gladly obliged.
As this thought crossed her mind, mixed feelings of sorrow and happiness came attacking her.
As she thought about what had happened the past two days regarding Song Yuanxi, in fact, she was holding a grudge against him.
She resented that he did not tell her the truth and had chosen to shield Song Yuanxi.
However, at this very moment…
Zi Chuan’s death had been a big blow to her. She had began to judge others, but when she finally went through a similar feeling, she suddenly came to the realization that the memories of her first love would forever be etched in her mind, even as the years went by or even if the love was no longer as deep as before.
She suddenly felt that she had understood his plight as well as his misery.
Everyone had a past.
If they wanted to be together happily, they would need to accommodate each other’s past.
Just like her unspeakable past, as well as those times where she had had to rely on infringing on people’s privacy and exposing their lives for a living. He had told her that he would share their burdens together with her.
Qiao Lian’s eyes turned red and it seemed like tears were ready to gush out at any moment.
She hurriedly lowered her head to wipe her tears with the blanket.
This little action immediately caught the man’s attention on the sofa.
He stood up immediately and walked quickly to her. He said in a low voice, “Xiao Qiao, do u feel unwell?”
As he said these words, his hand was touching her forehead.
There was no fever.
As this thought popped into his head, she grabbed his arm in turn.
Her eyes were still extremely red and puffy. However, she opened her eyes and said, “Shen Liangchuan, could you sleep by my side?”
Shen Liangchuan froze slightly and then after a while, he replied, “Ok.”
He undressed speedily and crawled into the blanket, reaching out his strong and warm arms to hug her.
At that moment, they were in bed together.
But they didn’t have any passionate thoughts, like what they had had in the past. It was only… to keep each other warm and comfortable in this vast world of people.
