Chapter 337: Best Actor is Jealous! (7)
Qiao Lian sat in the car looking intently at Shen Liangchuan’s profile.
She said, “The landlord—”
“In touch again when exactly?”
She was abruptly interrupted by Shen Liangchuan.
Unable to contain her amusement, she burst out laughing.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let him get too close to me.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want to-”
Then Qiao Lian suddenly stopped short.
Shen Liangchuan kept silent, waiting patiently to hear what it was that she wanted to say.
Qiao Lian pursed her lips, trying to find an excuse. But seeing the look on Shen Liangchuan’s face, she didn’t want to lie. “I don’t really want to talk about the past.”
So she was hiding something after all.
Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened. It wasn’t surprising though. Going from being the little mistress in a wealthy family to being in dire straits, she had probably experienced considerable difficulties.
If she didn’t feel ready to talk about it, he wasn’t going to push her.
Shen Liangchuan looked ahead and changed the topic, “Don’t worry about the villa. Let the players continue their training. I’ll talk to the landlord to get it back.”
Qiao Lian nodded.
Although it would probably come at great expense, it was better than having to move.
She looked out the window and realized they were heading to the suburbs. She immediately asked, “Where are we going?”
Shen Liangchuan gave her a quick glance. “You haven’t eaten.”
So was he taking her out for lunch?
She was pleasantly surprised. Suddenly, she noticed the car plate of the vehicle behind theirs.
Her surprise turned into shock as she realized that Sun Linan was trailing them.
She frowned.
Shen Liangchuan, who was used to avoiding paparazzi all the time, was extremely sensitive to this as well, as he noticed the car behind them.
He honked. Sun Linan must have gathered that he had been busted, hence he sped up until his car drew level with Shen Liangchuan’s.
Qiao Lian wound down her window and saw Sun Linan’s face looking back at her.
She deeply frowned at him. “Sun Tzi, what are you doing?”
Sun Linan shouted, “Where are you going?!”
“Looking for somewhere to have a meal!” Qiao Lian replied.
“Me too!” Sun Linan shot back.
Qiao Lian went along with it helplessly.
Was this really a coincidence?
Shen Liangchuan then spoke, “You mean you’re heading for Pin Chuan Restaurant too?”
Sun Linan’s eyes lit up and replied immediately, “That’s right! I haven’t had Sichuan food for a long time, so I thought of going there.”
Shen Liangchuan looked away as he said, “Then we’re going different ways. You’ll need to get off the expressway at the next exit.”
Sun Linan looked flabbergasted.
So why did you use the word “too”!?
But then again, who was Sun Linan?
Sun Linan immediately changed his tone, “I just remembered, I have had a bad stomach these days and should stay away from spicy food. I’ll join you guys for lunch.”
Shen Liangchuan replied, “We’re going for Chongqing food, it’s spicy too.”
Sun Linan persisted, “… I still feel like having spicy food.”
Thoroughly annoyed, Shen Liangchuan decided to stop talking.
He had never met anyone so shameless.
Qiao Lian tightly pressed together her lips. “Sun Tzi, we really do have some business to discuss.”
Sun Linan nodded. “I know. I won’t interrupt you guys. You have your lunch and I’ll have mine.”
Qiao Lian couldn’t do much, simply nod.
The two cars pulled up at the private restaurant one after the other.
It was a classy venue that admitted only VIP card holders.
Shen Liangchuan tossed his car keys over to the valet and led Qiao Lian into the restaurant.
Sun Linan followed in their direction after parking the car, striding to catch up from behind. However he was stopped by the security.
“Eh, I’m with them! Let me in! Xiao Lian, tell them!”
Qiao Lian wanted to speak up, but Shen Liangchuan continued walking ahead and kept silent.
Qiao Lian helplessly followed him.
