Chapter 459: Zi Chuan? Zi Chuan!! (9)
The team leader’s simple remark “of course I do” was like a tidal wave that lifted Qiao Lian’s heart.
She stared at the team leader in disbelief.
Eight years…
For the last eight years, she had convinced herself that she had almost forgotten Zi Chuan.
She had not even thought of Zi Chuan for a very long time.
But just then, when she heard Zi Chuan’s name out of the blue, she couldn’t help but feel a painful squeeze in her heart.
Walking over to ask about him was nothing more than a basic reflex.
But never would she have been able to imagine that she would hear news about Zi Chuan under such abrupt circumstances.
She was so nervous now that she could hardly breathe.
She gulped and then stared at the team leader, who was looking back at her with a puzzled wide-eyed look. Qiao Lian moved her lips, but only found her voice after a while, “Where is he?”
She curled her fingers into a tightly drawn fist, trying with all her strength to contain her fury.
His frivolous teasing eight years ago had destroyed too many dreams of hers for the past eight years!
And if ever came a day that Zi Chuan would appear before her, she would surely throw him a hard and fast punch to avenge the Xiao Qiao from eight years ago.
Her whole body was tensed up and she was trembling uncontrollably.
The team leader, on the other hand, thought that this must be yet another of Zi Chuan’s fangirls.
After all, back then Zi Chuan had been the god of the gaming world and everyone knew who he was.
He had been idolized by a countless number of girls.
He sighed and started to smile. “This… It’s easy. I’ll take you to see him.”
The moment he said this, Qiao Lian nodded and said, “Yes.”
–
As she sat in the team leader’s BMW, Qiao Lian’s mind was in a state of confusion.
She had no idea how the situation had come to this.
Everything was too sudden, and now she felt like she was caught in a whirlwind.
They were on the way to look for Zi Chuan.
Two years of an online relationship that turned into eight years of waiting. Was she finally going to see Zi Chuan in person?
Was Zi Chuan married now? And what was he working as?
She also wanted to ask him why he had not come to look for her in the past eight years.
That missed appointment years ago had by now become the one sore point in her life, an episode that she could never get past.
She took in a deep breath, suddenly feeling choked. She slightly wound down the window.
The icy wind streamed in, clearing her head that moment.
And as though she had suddenly realized what she was doing, she jumped, startled.
How could she go look for Zi Chuan?
How could she be doing this?
Panicking, she turned her head to look out of the window. She realized they were now in the city center, heading towards the suburbs.
Her pupils shrank as she looked at the team leader. “Where are we going?”
The team leader sighed when heard this. “Aren’t we going to see Zi Chuan? Regrets from all these years have come back to me after seeing Xiao Qiao today. I should go see him.”
His eyes glistened as he spoke, and his words carried a lot of sentiments. He didn’t seem like a bad person.
Qiao Lian bit her lip. She asked, “Zi Chuan lives in the Beijing suburbs?”
“Uh huh.”
She had always known that he lived in Beijing.
But she didn’t think that he was still here, after eight years.
She was silent for a while, before suddenly asking, “Is he married?”
The team leader threw a sidelong glance at her and said, “No.”
Qiao Lian couldn’t quite figure out her own emotions. They were complex, like a spilled bottle of seasoning.
Then she said abruptly, “I don’t think I should see him.”
But the car had pulled to a stop. The team leader looked at her and announced, “We’re here.”
Qiao Lian turned to look out of the window. When she realized what she was looking at, her pupils immediately shrank!
