Chapter 120: His Dark Eyes Wavered (10)
The atmosphere in the room immediately froze.
Shen Liangchuan didn’t speak, he was emotionless.
Song Yuanxi looked at Shen Liangchuan uneasily and then turned towards the door. She looked as if she wanted to say something, but she didn’t dare to.
Xia Yehua laughed and broke the awkwardness. “Xiao Qiao, you’re back! Quick, have a seat! Let’s have dinner together later!”
As she ended her sentence, Shen Liangchuan immediately stood up and went upstairs without a word.
Qiao Lian’s expression immediately became awkward, as she stood rooted to the ground, lost.
“Bang!”
They heard the sound of the door slam. The three people downstairs looked at one another.
Xia Yehua was furious.
“Xiao Qiao, don’t be angry. Since he dares to treat you like this, I will go upstairs and scold him now! When a couple fights, why should the man wait for the wife to appease him? Does this guy even know how relationships work?!”
After she finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go upstairs.
Qiao Lian immediately held her back.
Whenever she realized how good Xia Yehua was to her, her heart would feel increasingly guilty.
Shen Liangchuan and her had a contract-bound marriage, their status wasn’t equal.
She laughed and said, “Mom, I’ll go up and see what’s up.”
After she spoke, she lowered her head and went upstairs.
Qiao Lian stuck her head into one of the bedrooms on the second floor, but she didn’t see any traces of him. She then slowly moved towards the study.
She knocked on the room door and slowly pushed it a bit.
This villa seemed to have been inhabited before Xia Yehua moved in, thus the arrangement of the room was really simple.
There weren’t many documents in the study room. He sat solemnly behind the empty table, while his tall stature made him look as if he was a king with a strong air.
Qiao Lian walked in with fear, as she lowered her head down and said, “Mr. Shen, the article published on Weibo today wasn’t by me.”
He looked over coldly, but his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. His glance was too confusing, and Qiao Lian could not capture his exact emotions.
“I know.”
These two words were heavy. They sounded nice, but they carried a slight unhappiness with them.
He was unhappy?
Why?
Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment, but she suddenly understood the situation.
Although he was usually unaffected by everything around him, no matter how aloof someone could be, in the face of internet ghostwriters, he would definitely get unhappy.
She didn’t want him to stay unhappy, thus she made up a speech in her heart. Then, she began, “Mr. Shen, you don’t have to worry about those comments online. The fans who support you will always continue doing so. And those who hate you are using the accounts of others to criticize you on purpose! Internet violence is so terrible nowadays and honestly I really dislike the internet. Through the internet, the real feelings between people are disappearing…”
She continued nagging, but his expression kept turning colder.
Qiao Lian finally realized that she seemed to have said something wrong.
But before she could figure out what had gone wrong, he made an annoyed sound.
Shen Liangchuan was really angry. She was speaking about how she looked down on the internet and how it reminded her of their online relationship.
She had never believed in their relationship in the first place, right?
Then, if she hadn’t seen a future with it, why had she attracted him to delve deeper into it?
He stood up, went around the table and walked towards her.
He turned his back on the light and stood in front of her. A shady atmosphere immediately enveloped her.
She couldn’t help but take some steps backwards. But everytime she did so, he would take a step forward.
It continued until she suddenly felt coldness behind her, when she realized she was against the wall.
He stretched out his arm and placed it on the wall. This position… Could it be that he wanted to kabedon [1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabedon] her?
The next second, she heard his question, “So, you can play with others as you please?!”
