Chapter 214: We Will Eventually Be Separated (4)

As Shen Liangchuan was taking a bath, he suddenly remembered that Song Cheng needed an urgent document from him.

As a result, he did not wash himself as detailedly as usual. He quickly rinsed himself and wrapped his body with a bath towel, and then stepped out of the bathroom. He did not think too much at all about pushing the door of the study open. At first glance, he saw that the girl was startled. As she suddenly regained her composure, she stared blankly at him in fright.

He narrowed his eyes and asked casually, “What are you doing?”

While he finished speaking, he took a step and headed into the room. He saw that she had pushed aside the painting, uncovering the safe.

He looked at her, puzzled. He could not decipher her intentions at the moment.

Qiao Lian bit her lip. Her heart was pounding rapidly. She felt that this was by far the most nerve-wrecking encounter she had had recently!

She had entered his study in an attempt to steal something, but was caught red-handed by him. Was there anything that could be more miserable than this?

She stretched the corners of her mouth—her facial expression was a little unnatural. Then she worked hard to try to appear to be frank. She conveniently placed the painting back in its original position. Her eyes darted around the room with guilt. She made sure she did not look at him and then said, “I- I am here to ask you to have your dinner, but I did not expect that you wouldn’t be in the study.”

She turned and looked at the room’s decor. Changing the subject, she said, “Your study room is very well decorated.”

Pointing at the same painting, she added, “I thought this painting looked a little strange, so I walked over to take a look. I did not expect that there was a safe behind.”

Shen Liangchuan did not comment on her words. He turned around and headed to his desk. He lifted the telephone and, at the same time, replied, “Do you know that you have a habit?”

“What?”

“You do not dare to look into the person’s eyes when you are lying.”

Qiao Lian suddenly panicked. She knew that the excuse that she had made up earlier on simply did not work with Shen Liangchuan.

She bit her lip, as her heart raced.

She looked nervously at Shen Liangchuan, but found that he was just sitting there, staring at his computer screen.

Although he wasn’t staring at her with his dark black eyes, she felt a sense of pressure directed towards her.

“What did you come to my study for?”

These simple and honest words came without any emotional fluctuations, yet it was tough not to answer.

Qiao Lian lowered her head. With fear and trepidation, she said, “I- I came here to see what you were up to.”

Came to see what he was up to?

Shen Liangchuan froze for a second. Never had he thought that a sentence like this would come from her.

When he had picked her up after she finished work, the two of them hadn’t spoken at all on the way home. But back at home, he had only gone to take a bath and she already missed him and wanted to be with him?

He suddenly recalled the words that she had said this morning, while he took her to work. “Shen Liangchuan, I like you.”

Having said that, could it be that she had wanted to be with him, so that was why she had gone to his study?

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of his lips unknowingly began to slightly raise. He felt like his mood had been uplifted in an instant.

He faintly humphed affirmingly and then continued looking at his computer.

His reaction made Qiao Lian unable to decipher his thoughts.

It seemed like he didn’t intend to pursue the matter, and hence Qiao Lian momentarily breathed a sigh of relief.

She casually remarked, “Shen Liangchuan, no matter how busy you are with your work, you have to remember to take your dinner. I—”

He hadn’t said “you go out first” yet. Instead, she saw him lift his head and stare at her intensely.

Qiao Lian had originally wanted to continue speaking, but she instantly swallowed her words and dared not speak.

Why was he looking at her this way?

Was it because… she was nosey and long-winded and therefore she irritated him?
