Chapter 150: When We Were Young and Reckless (10)

Shen Liangchuan: …

Shen Liangchuan’s lips twitched as he felt his patience draining away. The veins on his forehead started to pop, as he desperately wished to prise open this woman’s skull to see what exactly was stuffed inside it.

However, when he saw Qiao Lian desperately try to widen her eyes, but fail due to the swelling keeping them shut, he finally said resignedly, “Xiao Qiao, I am your husband.”

Qiao Lian instantly froze.

She looked dumbfoundedly at the man in front of her.

His expression was quite determined, and his words carried an irresistibly commanding tone.

So… did he actually mean what she thought he meant?

She bit her lip.

When Shen Liangchuan started this topic, she had already considered this.

However, she did not dare to dream big.

At this moment, even after she had heard Shen Liangchuan say the word ‘husband’, she could still scarcely believe it.

She stared at the man in front of her. The more she stared, the more she wanted to laugh.

As her mouth twitched, her injuries stretched in pain. Thus, she had to keep her face straight. Then, she said tentatively, “Mr. Shen, actually… you don’t have to be so polite.”

She lowered her head and continued, “I only went to rescue Song Yuanxi because I really like her. I did not mean to…”

“I did not mean to obtain your compassion and sympathy”, she thought.

Shen Liangchuan’s attitude towards her had changed from his usual coldness to a sudden gentleness, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes.

It turned out that this girl wasn’t as naive as he thought she was. She had already understood his intentions.

However, she kept making witty quips to defuse any awkward situation, with the aim of pushing him even further away.

He frowned. He could almost feel a layer of darkness beginning to form around his heart.

He wanted to say something, but stopped when he saw the girl’s anxious gaze.

All of the emotions he was feeling were stuck within him, so he kept opening and closing his mouth repeatedly. Finally, he said, “You can call me by my name.”

Your name?

Qiao Lian was dumbfounded again.

Was he… compromising?

She widened her eyes and was slightly dazed. Then, she realized that Shen Liangchuan was eagerly looking at her. That expression! It was as though…

She coughed and said, “Shen Liangchuan.”

“Yes.”

He was indeed smiling.

The both of them stared at each other’s faces intently.

For some time, a curious silence filled the room.

Over the time Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan had interacted with each other, there had been many moments of silence. Furthermore, they were almost always awkward silences. However, right now, the silence that was permeating the room created a somewhat sweet atmosphere instead.

She could not help but want to laugh due to her embarrassment.

However, every time her lips twitched, she felt a twinge of pain on her face.

She hurriedly tensed up her face.

The expression she had of wanting to smile but being unable to do so made Shen Liangchuan twitch his lips as well. Then, he suddenly started laughing, a grin on his face.

First, he laughed softly. However, as he laughed, he rose his head. When he saw the expression of astonishment on Qiao Lian’s face, he could not help but laugh uproariously.

Qiao Lian sat on the hospital bed, completely speechless.

This man… was he showing off the fact that he could smile while she couldn’t?

This was absolutely outrageous!

At this moment, Xia Yehua and Song Yuanxi were together standing outside the ward. Both of them had confused expressions on their faces.

Xia Yehua turned her head and said, “Yuanxi, did I hear wrongly? Is Shen Liangchuan actually laughing?”

Since that day eight years ago, no smile had crossed his face until today.

Xia Yehua’s gaze gradually softened and after a while, she began to smile. “I was afraid that Shen Liangchuan wasn’t taking his relationship with Xiao Qiao seriously, but now I’m finally reassured!”
