nShe wanted to resist, but he didn’t give her any chance to do so.

nHe kissed her deeply and one of his hand quickly unbuttoned her clothes. His actions were swift and accurate, causing Qiao Lian to suspect whether he was actually drunk.

nThat was the first time Qiao Lian felt that sex was so harmonized and enjoyable.

nShe felt as if she was a canoe, guided by him to float into the vast oceans. She was brought onto the high waves time and time again, followed by a ruthless fall. Until the end, she was drowning in immense pleasure.

nShe didn’t know how much time had past, but she fell into a deep sleep when her body was no longer able to take it.

nAfter she fell asleep, Shen Liangchuan opened his clear eyes. There wasn’t any tinge of drunkenness in them.

nThe next day, Qiao Lian only managed to open her eyes after the day had turned bright. She then realized she was laying on the bed alone.

nMemories of the craziness from the night before surged into her brain, and she felt as if her body was about to burn.

nShe hugged the blanket, but when she remembered the bank card, she swallowed the embarrassment she felt, got off the bed and put on her clothes. Thereafter, she left the master bedroom.

nJust as she stepped out of the room, she met face to face with Shen Liangchuan, who had come out of the study room.

nQiao Lian’s face immediately blushed.

nIt felt as if awkwardness filled the atmosphere.

nThey were supposedly on a cold war, but last night they-

nQiao Lian didn’t dare to look at him in the eyes, so her gaze just floated around. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Liangchuan had already began, “The bank card can now be used.”

nQiao Lian hurriedly nodded her head and thanked him, “Thank you.”

n“No problem,” Shen Liangchuan replied as he walked down the stairs. Then, he continued, “Move back in here.”

nQiao Lian stopped in her tracks and bitterness surged into her heart.

nHe was still expressionless—it felt as if he had just said it casually and it wasn’t anything important.

nIt was because of last night…

nShe bowed her head and said after giving it a thought, “It’s ok, I-”

nBefore she could finish what she wanted to say, his voice sounded, “Ms. Qiao, my child might already be in your stomach now. If you continue staying outside, what if something happens to you? Move back and allow the caretaker to cook nutritious food for you so the child will be able to grow healthily.”

nSo, his intentions of asking her to move back in were solely for the sake of the child?

nQiao Lian was momentarily stunned.

n“The agreement did not state that you must resign, but it said that you have to be staying at home. I don’t think you’d want to breach the agreement, right?”

nHis coercion didn’t leave her a choice, she could only nod in agreement. “Ok.”

nAfter Shen Liangchuan heard this, he nodded and moved downstairs quickly, leaving the house before eating breakfast.

nQiao Lian sat in the dining room dazedly.

nAfter a while, she let out a bitter smile. She stood up and walked into the kitchen, intending to pour a cup of milk for herself.

nHowever, when she stepped into the kitchen, she witnessed the servant mixing something into the milk.

nAs she recalled the weird-tasting milk, Qiao Lian curiously asked, “What are you adding to the milk?”

nAlthough she had asked casually, the servant was shocked. Her body trembled and she recovered from her shock as she stammered, “Ms.- Ms. Qiao?”

nThe servant’s guilty look made Qiao Lian narrow her eyes in suspicion.

nShe took one step forward and watched the servant put the thing in her hands behind her in fear.

nQiao Lian immediately spoke incisively, “What’s that? Show me!”

nQiao Lian was very nimble and as she spoke, she snatched the thing.
