nQiao Lian jumped in fright.

nShe was not afraid of her own safety, but rather that her audio recording would be deleted once she got caught.

nShe took a deep breath, took off her high heels and held them in her hands. Then, she frantically took off running!

n“Stand still!” Wang Wenhao broke out in a cold sweat. If the conversation that had just taken place had actually been recorded…

nHis entire acting career would be completely ruined!

nLi Mengqi also widened her eyes in shock. She screamed shrilly, “You there, stop running! I can give you money! I can give you as much as you ask for!”

nQiao Lian ignored her words completely and focused her mind solely on running forward.

nToday, the entire Royal Family Hotel had been reserved for the celebration party. As such, the alleyway behind it was completely empty.

nAs she ran, she rapidly undid the hooks on the front of her dress. She was actually wearing a white tube dress inside!

nGiven that it was rather dark just now, Wang Wenhao had definitely not seen her clearly.

nIf she could just get out of this alley, she would be able to hide within the crowd attending the party. That way, he would not be able to find her!

nHowever, it just so happened that security had been updated on the incident, and they were now running for her from the opposite direction.

nIf Qiao Lian was to rush over right now, it would be like trying to commit suicide.

nShe saw that there was a passage to her side. Without thinking, she beelined for the passageway and entered it!

nRun!

nThe footsteps behind her sounded closer and closer. She desperately lowered her head and checked on the progress of her video file upload. Another 30 percent and the file would finish uploading.

nShe clenched her teeth.

nLooking back, she estimated the distance between her pursuers and her. She did not have enough time.

nHer heart thumped in desperation while she was frantically thinking of ways to gain some time. As she turned another corner, she saw that a man was standing at the intersection in front of her.

nHe was wearing a black tuxedo. He was standing tall and straight, like an oak tree, and he exuded an air of confidence and elegance.

nEven under such dark lighting, she could identify him with just one glance—the man was none other than Shen Liangchuan!

nShen Liangchuan remained silent and unmoving.

nA crafty expression flashed across Qiao Lian’s eyes, and she hurriedly took off her red dress.

nThe dress lightly made an elegant arc through the air before she stuffed it into her bag.

nThen, she rushed to stand in front of Shen Liangchuan and stopped, breathing heavily.

nShe could see that his gaze was cold and his thick eyebrows were frowning. But before he could open his mouth to speak, she suddenly stood on her toes, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips!

nThe cold sensation coupled with his soft lips caused Qiao Lian’s entire body to freeze.

nShe could feel his entire body tense up instantly, as though he was making up his mind to push her away. Qiao Lian immediately tightened her arms and deepened her kiss.

nAt this moment, the sound of footsteps grew steadily nearer, and they stopped behind their backs. Someone asked, “Excuse me, did any of you see a woman wearing a long red dress?”

nQiao Lian could feel that Shen Liangchuan wanted to speak. She was afraid that he would spill the beans, so she immediately opened her mouth. She stuck her tongue out and forcefully used it to seal his lips!

nHer nimble tongue hooked onto his. Then, his chilly breath began to spread across her entire mouth.

nQiao Lian fought to keep herself clear-headed. Then, she used the hand that was clutching his back to point forward.

nShe only let go of Shen Liangchuan after her chasers had left and she could not hear any of their footsteps.

nThe sky was dark, and she was unable to see Shen Liangchuan’s expression. However, she could feel layers of anger emanating from his body.

nEven though they had been together for three days, just now was the first time they had ever kissed.
