Chapter 335: Best Actor is Jealous! (5)
Buying the villa?
Qiao Lian asked. “Why are you buying a villa? Besides, why did you choose this small district to buy a villa?”
Sun Linan was about to answer Qiao Lian’s question.
But a vehicle in the distance suddenly honked again, interrupting their conversation.
Qiao Lian turned around and saw the flickering lights of Shen Liangchuan’s car.
This was an indication that he was getting impatient.
Qiao Lian turned around to look at Sun Linan. “Sun Tzi, let’s get in touch when both have a bit of time. I really have to attend to something urgently today. I have to go.”
Although he was a close childhood friend, that was in the past. She didn’t feel inclined to keep regular contact.
Although it had only been momentarily, she noticed a flash of pain in Sun Linan’s eyes as she said those words. However she remained firm and insistent on leaving.
As she turned to go, she suddenly felt someone firmly grabbing her arm.
She paused for a moment and turned around. Sun Linan was looking back at her with a serious expression that she found difficult to interpret. “Lian Lian, do you- do you really dislike me?”
He lowered his gaze. “When we were young, I loved to bully you. It was because I—”
Before he could finish his sentence, the car in the distant gave another impatient honk.
Qiao Lian was getting flustered and wanted to free herself from his grip. “Sun Tzi, I really do have something urgent to settle. If you want to speak, just give me a call.”
But Sun Linan wouldn’t release his hold on her. “Lian Lian, you’re in a hurry every time I see you. Can’t we just have a meal together?”
He was exasperated and looked at Qiao Lian pleadingly with wide eyes and full of sincerity.
Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment.
Among all the troublesome friends she had hung out with in her youth, she had been closest to Sun Linan.
For old times’ sake she said, “Okay, how about tomorrow? We’ll go out for a meal tomorrow.”
Sun Linan nodded. “Fine. Oh, and the roses, did you like them?”
Since he had brought up the topic of the roses, Qiao Lian halted and turned around. “Sun Tzi, please don’t send any more roses.”
“Why?”
Qiao Lian fell silent.
She couldn’t really tell him that Best Actor Shen was jealous.
“Er, because it’s too glaring and invites unwanted attention in the office.”
Sun Linan thought for a moment and made a gesture, showing that he had understood. “Well, let me know where you live. I’ll send them to your home then.”
Qiao Lian was dumbstruck.
She sighed. “Sun Tzi, I’m no longer the Qiao family’s pampered little mistress.”
Sun Linan was a little stunned on hearing this.
Qiao Lian continued, “My life is all about putting bread on the table and being able to provide for myself. I have no need for extravagant things like roses. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”
There wasn’t a more obvious way to reject a person.
Sun Linan considered what she had said. “I understand.”
Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief, but she quickly realized that she was wrong. “So perhaps next time I can send meat, rice, and vegetables. Or I could order lunch for you every day.”
Qiao Lian was dumbstruck.
She was about to say something, when suddenly the sound of a car door opening was heard from the distance.
She panicked and turned around immediately. To her horror, she saw Shen Liangchuan getting out of the car. He was wearing his sunglasses and a mask.
This was simply… too dangerous!
Although they were in the outskirts, there were still many people out and about.
What if someone took a picture of this?
She tried to shake off Sun Linan’s grip once more, wishing that he would get back into his car. But he simply wouldn’t let go. Then, wide-eyed, she stared helplessly as Shen Liangchuan walked right up to the two of them.
She prayed with all her might that Sun Linan wouldn’t recognize Shen Liangchuan, given that he had his sunglasses and mask on.
But as she was hoping for the worst not to happen, Shen Liangchuan took off his sunglasses and removed his mask.
