Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank as he tightly clutched the card that was in his hand.

Forgotten his anger?

He had never forgotten it, not even for a day.

But he could no longer avenge the man.

He sat quietly in the study for a while, then he shot up from his seat and tore the card, throwing the torn bits into the trash bin.

As he narrowed his eyes in deep contemplation, the study room door was pushed open with a crack.

He opened his eyes and looked at the door. It was Qiao Lian. She walked in with a glass of milk in her hand.

She blinked and placed the glass of milk on the table. She said, “You just asked Auntie Li to get you coffee, so I’m here to deliver it.”

Shen Liangchuan paused a moment upon hearing this. His gaze fell on the glass of milk.

Qiao Lian smiled in a pleasing manner and said, “If you’re tired, go to bed. Don’t drink coffee to stay up, it’s not good for your nerves.”

She took a step forward and stood behind him. Reaching out, she placed her fingers on his temple and started massaging it. “Is this comfortable?”

Shen Liangchuan seemed to have found his inner peace in the gentle tactile motion and her crisp fragrance.

The Qiao Lian that he knew had always been a carefree person.

Since when had she become this meticulous and eager to please him?

Shen Liangchuan held her hands and gently buried his face in her upturned palms.

He had caused her to worry.

Putting his arm around her waist, he stood up and said, “Ok, let’s go downstairs for lunch.”

Qiao Lian sighed in relief and followed him downstairs.

Qiao Yi was still chatting with Xia Yehua. He had a glib tongue, so his words were always pleasing to hear. Xia Yehua, on the other hand, liked young people. Hence, the two of them were almost friends despite their age difference. As the couple made their way down, they heard Xia Yehua laughing.

Although the laughter was a little forced, it was obvious that Qiao Yi had managed to cheer her up.

Qiao Lian gave Xia Yehua a hug and then said, “I’m finished, Mom. Now that you have Xiao Yi, you don’t like me anymore! I’m quickly losing your favor.”

Xia Yehua laughed even more now and replied, “How could that be possible? I’ve always been fond of you!”

“Mom, you have to remember what you just said! No matter how good Xiao Yi is, he can’t call you Mom. I’m your daughter-in-law!”

Xia Yehua raised her hand and pointed at her. “You little rascal! You make me laugh!”

Shen Liangchuan stood by the side watching this heart-warming scene.

He knew that his Xiao Qiao was worried about Xia Yehua. The episode with Shen Zihao had left her heartbroken and Xiao Qiao was trying to cheer her up.

And Xiao Qiao cared for Xia Yehua, because she was his mother.

She was hardworking, lovable and considerate.

How could he bear to hurt her?

How could he even think of hurting her?

Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze.

After eating together, he excused himself saying that he had work to do. He went into the study and took two sleeping pills.

After this, he stayed in the study for some time before returning to the bedroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, he saw Qiao Lian lying on her stomach on the bed, watching a video on her cell phone.

Curious, he walked over and looked at the screen from where he was standing. He realized she was watching a video on how to give a massage.

As she watched, she practiced the motion with her fingers.

Her serious expression warmed his heart.

He suppressed all the emotions that he had been dealing with recently.

Suddenly, Qiao Lian, who had been solely focused on the video, felt a large body pressing down on her, causing her to jump in surprise.

Before she knew what was going on, he had locked both her hands down against the bed.
