A shocked Qiao Lian sat on the bed with a swollen face.

Shen Liangchuan had not returned home for almost a week. Furthermore, it was currently daytime, so she thought that there was no way that he would return home at this time, no matter what. However…

She instantly jumped up and ran to the window to look outside, where she shaw Shen Liangchuan stepping out of a car in a black tuxedo. His graceful deity-like body strode into the villa.

Qiao Lian's heart instantly leapt.

She looked in the mirror and realized that the bruises on her face were still extremely noticeable, even though they had somewhat subsided thanks to the ice.

Such serious injuries could only remain concealed if she chose to cover her face up.

However…

She made up her mind not to let Shen Liangchuan know about this.

She anxiously hopped around the room.

What should she do now?

—

Shen Liangchuan's inexplicable rage completed subsided only after he stayed away from the villa for the entire week.

She usually would not be home at this hour, so he had chosen to return home now to collect some documents.

He walked into the living room with a cold expression. He was about to change his shoes when he saw that Qiao Lian's white sneakers were placed on the shoe rack.

Did this mean that… she was home?

Shen Liangchuan froze momentarily and raised his head.

The second floor was completely empty. She had not come down to greet him.

What could she be doing in her room at this time?

Even though she knew that he was home, she had not come to greet him. Was this because his rage the other day had scared her?

Shen Liangchuan frowned imperceptibly and walked upstairs with a blank face.
