Qiao Lian widened her eyes and looked at him confusedly.

Her wronged expression only irritated him even more!

He narrowed his eyes and stared deeply into hers.

All the shame and hate that he had experienced eight years ago had sparked a notion within him—he wanted nothing more than to strangle her.

That way, he could settle things once and for all.

However, as he looked at her elongated neck, he could not bear to take action.

He thought of the time when she was being mistreated by the servants. Only then did he realize that he could not bear to watch her get hurt.

Only he knew of the depth of his love for her.

However, this deep love he had was not worth a single penny in her eyes. To her, it was part of the artificiality of the Internet.

He was such a proud man. Yet, he had given away his love to someone who would trample all over it.

As he thought about this, the irritation within his body began to slowly intensify again. He wanted nothing more than to take advantage of her entire body!

He immediately lowered his head and grabbed her chin with his large hands. However, he stopped his movements after observing that the girl's eyelashes were trembling nervously.

He suddenly felt pity for himself and laughed. He took a step back and wiped his hands with a tissue, as though they had been stained by a dirty object. Then, he turned away and walked downstairs.

Qiao Lian leaned against the wall and looked at the wide open door to the study. She then heard him walking downstairs and heading outside.

Everything that he had done had felt like a slap to her face.

She bit her lip, hurriedly calmed herself down and ran downstairs as well.

Noticing Xia Yehua's anxious gaze, Qiao Lian squeezed out a smile and said, ”Mom, it's all right. I've already hashed things out with him, so we'll be heading home first. Hahaha…”

Once she finished speaking, she chased after him and headed outside. However, Shen Liangchuan's car had already driven away.
