Chapter 464: Zi Chuan? Zi Chuan!! (14)
The next day, Qiao Lian awoke at dawn.
When she opened her eyes and wearily made a small movement, she realized that she was still resting on that warm arm.
Her entire body froze and, as she turned around, she saw that Shen Liangchuan was lying beside her and staring at her.
Qiao Lian was slightly stunned. Looking at his clear and bright eyes, he should have been….
“You’ve been up for a long while?”
Shen Liangchuan replied, “Just woke up.”
Qiao Lian did not expose his white lie, but squeezed out a smile and said, “Ok, let’s get up and wash up!”
Her tone was relaxed as usual.
Shen Liangchuan stared at her and after a while, he nodded.
Both of them got up together to wash up and headed downstairs for breakfast. The way they behaved was as if they both had come to a mutual understanding to forget what had happened the night before.
Shen Liangchuan enquired after they had finished their breakfast. “Where are you going today?”
The team’s competition would be in three days.
So she did not have to rush to the team’s villa.
As Qiao Lian was thinking about this, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She answered the call and it was Shi Nianyao calling. “Chief Editor Lian Lian! The people in the WeChat group were saying that the agency will issue the reporter’s certificate today. You’ve been working in the news agency for a year now, right?”
Qiao Lian’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Having to live on a compromise for so long at the agency, hadn’t it just been for the sake of receiving the reporter’s certificate?
She immediately replied, “Yes, I think so. Thank you for reminding me, I will head to the news agency now.”
She looked at Shen Liangchuan excitedly after hanging up the phone.
Shen Liangchuan did not say anything and instead got up to get changed and take her to the news agency.
On the way, Qiao Lian had mixed feelings. “I used to feel that the time working at the news agency passed very slowly. The chief editor was always targeting me and days were torturous. Come to think of it now, actually, one year just flew by in the blink of an eye.”
Shen Liangchuan gazed at her upon hearing this.
For someone who hardly spoke much, at this moment he couldn’t help but reply, “Yes.”
He had used to think that life was hard after parting ways with her. But actually, it seemed that time did go by in the blink of an eye.
The two of them reached the news agency swiftly. After unfastening her seatbelt and opening the door, Qiao Lian intended to step out of the car, but her arm was grabbed by Shen Liangchuan suddenly.
She was slightly taken aback and turned around to look at him.
It seemed as if Shen Liangchuan had something to say, but finally he let out a slight smile and stretched out his hand to pat her head. After a moment he said, “I’ll pick you up from work tonight.”
Qiao Lian nodded.
After she got out of the car and shut the door, Qiao Lian, like a wisp of smoke, disappeared towards the building.
However, after running into the building, she turned around and walked to the glass wall on the side.
That glass wall was such that one could see what was happening on the outside from the inside, but not the other way round.
Qiao Lian looked outside through the glass wall.
That car was still there. It seemed that Shen Liangchuan was still looking in her direction.
At this instant, her heart was filled with bitterness.
She couldn’t decipher what kind of feeling that was.
Considering the time, he probably thought she had already gone into the lift. Hence, he started his car and gradually disappeared into the sea of cars on the road.
Qiao Lian then came out of the building and gazed in the direction he had disappeared to.
At the looks of it, it seemed that the issue between them was over. However, she and he both knew that actually it still wasn’t over.
But wasn’t it true that it was meaningless to keep harping on the past? Life had to move on, hadn’t it?
When she reached upstairs, indeed, she saw that the few colleagues from Team One who had joined the news agency about the same time as her had received their reporter’s certificate.
