She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 735

Chapter 735: That Matter Eight Years Ago (4)

Why was everyone trying to hide things from her?

But when the taxi arrived at the Shen family villa, she got out and looked at the building before her. She frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, she walked in slowly.

As she entered the house, she saw that Xia Yehua and Auntie Li had bought fish and putting it in the freezer.

When they spotted her, they immediately exclaimed, “Xiao Qiao, come over quickly and have a look. The fish we got today is really fresh!”

Qiao Lian walked over and took a look. Then she nodded and looked around. “Mom, where’s Shen Liangchuan?”

“Oh, he just received a call and went out.”

He had gone out again?

Qiao Lian nodded, and Xia Yehua and Auntie Li kept talking about the food they were going to prepare when Dad Xia and Mom Xia came over for a meal.

Shen Liangchuan finally came home an hour later.

He took off his jacket as he stepped in. Qiao Lian noticed that his expression was cold, however, when he saw the people in the house, it seemed to warm up slightly.

Upon seeing her son, Xia Yehua asked casually, “Where did you go in such a hurry?”

Subconsciously, Shen Liangchuan muttered, “I didn’t go anywhere.”

But right after saying this, he felt he shouldn’t hide things from Xia Yehua.

He pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, “The rehab home called, they said Song Yuanxi requested to see me.”

Xia Yehua paused slightly upon hearing the news about Song Yuanxi. Looking at Shen Lianchuan, she asked, “So what was your response?”

His gaze then fell on Qiao Lian, who was watching him now in silence. After a moment, he replied, “She said she’d like to come home for the New Year celebrations.”

She would like to come home for the New Year celebrations.

Indeed, it was Mei Feng’s idea.

Qiao Lian frowned and looked up.

Xia Yehua was stunned too. “And you’ve agreed?”

After asking that, she felt that her remark was redundant.

If he had agreed, Song Yuanxi would have come back together with him already.

From the looks of it, it was quite obvious he hadn’t agreed.

Somewhat disappointed, Xia Yehua hung her head. Then she looked up again with renewed energy and said, “I understand.”

His intentions were obvious. He had not agreed to Song Yuanxi’s plea, so he was afraid that the girl would instead try to ask Xia Yehua. Hence, he was making this known now. This was also to avoid a situation where Xia Yehua should give in and allow the girl to come home.

However, Xia Yehua just couldn’t bear the thought of having Song Yuanxi spend the New Year celebrations alone in hospital. Her heart ached for the girl.

Qiao Lian glanced at Shen Liangchuan and quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

After having overheard Mei Feng’s words, Qiao Lian was worried that Song Yuanxi would be pulling tricks again to get Shen Liangchuan to take her home.

She wasn’t afraid that Song Yuanxi would try to take revenge on her, she was just afraid that Song Yuanxi would stir trouble in the household.

After dinner, she and Shen Liangchuan retreated upstairs.

Laying on the bed and contemplating the matter concerning Mei Feng, she suddenly felt something tighten around her waist. At once, a masculine body loomed over her.

After unrestrained and fulfilling lovemaking, Qiao Lian, red and trying to catch her breath, fell back on the bed next to Shen Liangchuan.

He reached for her and drew her into his embrace.

She could hear his heartbeat. It was distinct, and its presence made her feel like all of the hardships that she had to face in life were nothing.

She took a deep breath, preparing to ask him about what exactly had happened eight years ago.

But as the words formed in her throat, she thought of how he always reacted to this question. Then she decided to keep silent.

She narrowed her eyes in the dark room.

Even if he didn’t want to tell her, she could always find out.
