Just now when Liu Zhixing had announced her as the Team Two’s chief editor, no one had really dared to give a strong reaction. Xiao Ye was the only one who had shown her excitement.

And now Zhang Chunhua had started to lecture her, speaking between the lines. She was obviously targeting her.

Qiao Lian bit her lips and a strong sense of anger rose from her heart.

Xiao Ye lowered her head. Her body was trembling and she looked really pitiful.

Zhang Chunhua was still scolding her, “… You always enjoy making a fuss and you ain’t the least sedate! If you have the time to gossip with the rest, why don’t you make good use of it to practice your writing? What kind of article is this? I really doubt whether you have actually graduated from a famous university!”

Xiao Ye’s eyes turned red after hearing her words. She immediately retorted, “I—”

“You what? Did I ask you to speak? You don’t even know how to learn from your seniors at such a young age. What can you ever achieve with that impetuous, rash and easily angered character of youra!”

Xiao Ye immediately shut her mouth as tears soundlessly rolled down her cheeks.

Team One’s office was in complete silence. No other colleague dared to speak up for her in such a circumstance.

Qiao Lian wanted to rush in to reason with her, but her common sense stopped her at the door.

She knew that any little tinge of concern she showed for Xiao Ye would make her life hard in the Team One in the future.

Hence, as she hadn’t been able to transfer Xiao Ye over to her team, she had no option but to bear with it and wait for the right time.

She tightened her fists harder but in the end, she lowered her head and returned to her office feeling defeated.

She had learnt to give in after having been exposed to life for the past few years.

However, she felt as if there was a huge chunk of cotton stuffed in her chest, causing her to be unable to breathe properly.

Just like her issues with Shen Liangchuan…

As she recalled it, she lowered her head.

Shen Liangchuan didn’t want her to be pregnant and personally, she wasn’t going to be able anytime soon. Even if she was able to, how could she give birth to his child knowing that he didn’t want it and would not care about the child?

But how could she leave him if she didn’t give birth to a child?

Qiao Lian held her chin and she thought about it for the whole day in the office.

At 6 pm, Shen Liangchuan punctually sent her a message.

Her gaze sunk when she saw the message.

She sat in her seat and tidied up her emotions. She stared at the mirror and smiled sweetly. Then she got off work, acting really happy.

When she secretly sneaked into his car, she felt as if she was a thief.

When she turned her head, she saw that he was once again wearing a mask and sunglasses. She couldn’t help but say, “Actually, you don’t have to come and pick me up in the future.”

Shen Liangchuan acknowledged her words with an “oh” and continued speaking immediately, “Do you know how to drive?”

Qiao Lian answered, “… Yes.”

“Do you have a license?”

“No.”

“Sign up for it.”

Qiao Lian was stupefied. “Why?”

“Didn’t you say that you don’t need me to drive you?”

When Qiao Lian heard his words, she was stunned.

If she wanted to get her driver’s license, it would take at least two months.

However, hearing Shen Liangchuan’s words, it sounded like they would still be together for quite some time.

She tightened her fist and lowered her head. She looked sad and lonely.

Did he intend to use her to stop Xia Yehua’s nagging and continue making her act with him?

Yet, how could she be together with a man that secretly fed her such a large dosage of birth control pills?

As she thought about it, she could no longer resist it and spoke, “It’s alright, w- we will eventually split up anyway.”
