Shen Liangchuan was staring at his cell phone in the study, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

Again, she wanted two million dollars. Was it because her brother’s condition had worsened? Or because—

As he thought about it, he picked up his cell phone and gave Song Cheng a call. “Help me pay attention to Qiao Yi’s situation.”

After hanging up, he settled the things he had on hand. Then he walked towards the bedroom.

He realized that she had fallen asleep after pushing open the door.

Under the dim yellow bedside lamp, even while dreaming, she was still frowning. It was as if she had troubles that were impossible to get rid of.

He gradually softened his gaze and reached out his hand, attempting to smooth her frown.

The suspicion that was deep in his heart got under control, just like that.

He stared at her for a while. The corner of his lips gently curled up as he gave a repressed smile.

His gaze softened gradually.

Eight years ago, she had withdrawn from their club.

Frankly speaking, there was bound to be sadness but he did not blame her.

He had been two years older than her. In university although the courses were relaxed, he had already encountered numerous problems, not to mention that she had still been in high-school.

He understood her.

But there was still regret.

Now they finally could start anew. They could let the fantasies they had had from those years happen.

Of course, it was not only the club that had to start anew, it was also the feelings between them as well.

Thinking of it, Shen Liangchuan recalled the confession that she had made to him today.

All along she had been very straightforward, bold and frank, which could heat up one’s heart.

Shen Liangchuan lay down slowly.

That familiar room, because of one woman, was as though it had been turned upside down compared to before. The piece that had been missing in his heart all along also seemed to be filled.

Under the blanket, his hand held hers.

Xiao Qiao, let’s start anew.

The next day when Qiao Lian woke up in the morning, Shen Liangchuan was eating his breakfast downstairs.

Both of them went out together and Shen Liangchuan took her to the news agency.

After bidding farewell to Shen Liangchuan, she alighted and headed to the company.

Once she got out of the elevator, she received a text message reminding her that she had two additional million dollars in one of her accounts.

Her eyes shone at once. She hadn’t expected that Shen Liangchuan would be so efficient!

She logged into Forget Chuan’s WeChat page and stood at the entrance of the news agency to send him a message.

Forget Chuan: I’ve received the money~ When should we sign the contract?

Shen Liangchuan: No rush, whenever you are free.

Qiao Lian put down her cell phone, lifted her head and then took a deep breath.

Things had been on track and progressing well.

So, the next step would be…

She did not enter the office, but instead headed towards the corridor on the side.

She picked up her cell phone and called her brother Qiao Yi’s doctor. First, she inquired about her brother’s condition. Seeing that everything was good, she then went ahead with the main subject, “Doctor Zhang, I remembered that you mentioned before that you had a teacher who was based overseas and is an expert in this field?”

“Right, this is Doctor Kedun. Why? Are you thinking of asking him to come here to help with the rehabilitation? But it is impossible for my teacher to come over here, so—”

“You misunderstood me,” Qiao Lian interrupted him. “I am thinking of transferring Qiao Yi abroad for rehabilitation.”

After settling some issues with Doctor Zhang, Qiao Lian put down her cell phone.

She stared ahead and her gaze got deeper.

She wanted to leave Shen Liangchuan. But in order not to get her brother involved, the most sensible way would be to transfer him abroad to receive treatment.

As she thought about this, she turned around to enter the news agency and found that the atmosphere there seemed a little strange.
