Shen Liangchuan’s sudden action made Qiao Lian jump in fright.

After Shen Liangchuan tugged at her and pulled her towards the stairs, she realized that something had happened.

She turned around hurriedly, smiled at Qiao Yi and said, “Xiao Yi, you eat first. I have to discuss something with your Brother-in-law.”

“Ok.”

Qiao Yi smiled bashfully, but his eyes did not reflect that smile. He was also tightly grasping the fingers on his knees.

“Bang!”

After Qiao Lian was pulled into the master bedroom, she heard the sound of the door shutting suddenly.

Next, a fiery body approached her, directly putting her against the wall behind her.

The lights in the room weren’t on, so it was a little dark.

Under the moonlight that came in through the window, she looked up and stared at him.

He had a complex expression. He looked at her as if he was going to eat her.

Qiao Lian clenched her fists.

She had not done much these past two days. What crazy things was this man going to do again?

Could it be that he had abstained for too long and couldn’t control it anymore?

She couldn’t help but let out a cold smirk.

Their difference in strength couldn’t be compared. If he indeed were to use force on her, perhaps her fighting back would only lead to even more severe punishments, just like what had happened the previous night.

So what should she do next?

As her imagination was running wild, she suddenly heard him sigh.

The girl in front of him was glaring at him with a pair of round eyes, stubbornly and obstinately.

The shame and fury that he felt on his cheek seemed like he had just received a slap on his face.

All this anger could only ultimately be turned into a sigh.

He let go of his hand, took a step back, gave her a deep look and then turned around and left the room.

After he walked out, Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief.

But shortly after, her heart felt sore.

He actually did not treat her that badly.

When they had first gotten married, although their relationship had not been that pleasant, it was nothing like now, which frequently reached the freezing point.

Actually, it was obvious that their relationship had warmed up. It was obvious that she had realized that he seemed to have some feelings for her. Undoubtedly, she would have wanted to embark on a new relationship with him. But in the end, why had it become what it was now?

What had happened between them?

She suppressed her bitter feelings and just when she was about to go downstairs to comfort Qiao Yi, the room door was pushed open once again.

The tall Shen Liangchuan walked inside.

Qiao Lian’s body stiffened.

Could it be that he had changed his mind?

He then walked towards her, reached out and handed her an invitation card to the banquet the day after tomorrow.

Qiao Lian froze immediately.

A mix of complex feelings emerged once again.

The same thing had happened again…

What did this kind of reconciliation, after what had happened, actually mean?

Biting her lips, she clenched her fists. She did not accept the invitation card, and instead she turned around and headed downstairs.

Shen Liangchuan stared at the invitation card that he was holding in his hands, stunned. He did not go downstairs to have his dinner.

After Qiao Lian and Qiao Yi finished their dinner, Qiao Lian returned to the master bedroom. Shen Liangchuan was smoking on the balcony.

She did not go over, yet she could see the lingering smoke. His slender figure stood there and when the cold wind blew, it seemed extraordinarily silent and lonesome.

Qiao Lian took a look, and then averted her gaze and entered the washroom.

After she washed her face and rinsed her mouth, she headed straight to bed and decided to rest.

However at this moment, the door to the balcony was opened and Shen Liangchuan, who smelt of tobacco, suddenly approached her.

Qiao Lian jumped up in shock, as Shen Liangchuan’s body was pressing against hers.

His eyes were especially dark. He stared at her for a while and then said quietly, “Qiao Lian, I am sorry.”

She couldn’t control her tears as they immediately rolled down her cheeks!
