Chapter 385 - Do You Believe In Me? (15) (2/2)

However, she had no desire to lie to Shen Liangchuan.

She could only clench her fists tightly and resist in silence.

Shen Liangchuan suddenly extended his arm and clenched his fingers around her chin. ”Why aren't you answering my question?”

She was forced to look up at his unfathomable expression.

He was angry.

Was it because she had once been the sort of person that he hated most?

She frowned and didn't know what to say. More than that, she wasn't sure what she could do to alleviate his anger.

Shen Liangchuan's pupils were constricted and darker than storm clouds.

He suddenly realized that he might have been using too much force when he saw Qiao Lian grimace with pain.

He relaxed his grip on her chin. Still, there were red marks left by the forceful grip.

Qiao Lian did not say another word and looked out of the window stubbornly.

Shen Liangchuan started the car engine and continued driving back to their villa to drop off Qiao Lian.

As Qiao Lian got off the car, she heard him say, ”I'm going back to see Mom.”

She halted and before she could turn around, she heard Shen Liangchuan starting up the car again.

She clenched her fists tightly and walked back to the house.

Because of what had happened, all the housekeepers had been redeployed to Xia Yehua's apartment.

Now Qiao Lian was alone in the villa.

Her eyes turned slightly bloodshot as tears welled up and blurred her vision.

When the picture had come out in the news and the article had been posted, she had been prepared for a showdown between her and Shen Liangchuan.

But his trust in her from the start until the end had given her a sense of warmth and sweetness that she had never experienced before. It gave her strength that she could survive almost any tough situation in life.

She did not expect, however, that while they hadn't had any differences where the report was concerned, her own past on the other hand would cause him so much contempt.
