Chapter 448  : Song Yuanxi, Who Exactly Are You? (8)

Qiao Lian did not see the car parked by the road next to her office building.

Shen Liangchuan sat in the driver seat with his gaze fixed on the building she was in.

The night before, he had received her message informing him that she was working extra hours.

When he read the message, he had paused and sat quietly in the master bedroom.

He had come to realize that without her presence, the place seemed desolate and terribly lonely.

He wasn’t sure if he had been in his right mind when he found himself driving out in the middle of the night, to Qiao Lian’s office building. And when he got there, he could not find the courage to enter the building, much less go look for her.

This time, he had shielded Song Yuanxi and had lied to Qiao Lian in the process.

But now, he no longer wanted to tell another lie.

What if she asked him about the team’s information leak? How was he going to answer?

He ended up staying in the car all night and, even though he was worried that she didn’t have anything to eat, he had no courage to ask her out for breakfast. The only thing he could do was place an order for breakfast to be delivered to her.

At this point, his cell phone rang.

It was Director Wang. “Best Actor Shen, I’m very sorry. I failed to take care of your actress. When we were filming a wire suspension shot today, Ms. Song insisted that she wanted to do this without a stunt. There was an accident and fell! We’ve urgently sent her to the hospital and they’re now examining her. You—”

Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank immediately when he heard this and replied, “I’m coming right away.”

“Ok.”

After hanging up the call, Shen Liangchuan drove in reverse and made a turn, heading straight to the hospital.

However, after speeding for five minutes, he slowed down and finally stopped by the road.

He looked at the street view through the glass panes of his car windows.

It was peak hour and traffic was heavy.

The look on his face was one of desolation, of extreme loneliness.

After a while, he calmly picked up his cell phone and dialed a number. “Song Cheng, I need your help with something…”

–

Song Yuanxi made the call to Qiao Lian, after ensuring that no one was around, before she entered the examination room.

It was after the call that she was wheeled into the examination room for an x-ray.

The results came out shortly—she had broken a bone in her leg.

After they wheeled her to the VIP ward and left her there, she sat quietly on the bed, as though waiting for something.

After some time, frantic footsteps were finally heard approaching the ward.

Immediately, she bit her lip and purposefully turned her eyes bloodshot.

She knew that, no matter what, her Brother Liangchuan wouldn’t be angry at her.

See? The moment he had heard that she had had an accident, he had rushed over.

She was now almost worried that the things she had said to him yesterday had been overly harsh.

She craned her neck and looked towards the ward entrance expectantly.

Then, the silhouette of a tall man appeared. He was wearing a suit, but his face…

Song Yuanxi froze for a moment and then widened her eyes in astonishment.

Song Cheng stood before her, grinning at her. He took a look at her case notes and said, “Ms. Song, how are you feeling?”

Song Yuanxi bit her lip, looking frustrated and terribly grieved. “Why are you here?”

Then she added, “Where’s Brother Liangchuan?”

On hearing this, Song Cheng glanced at her and said immediately, “He’s busy attending to some business.”

It was obviously just an excuse.

Feeling extremely hurt, Song Yuanxi stared at Song Cheng steadily.

The memories from the time she was 14 came back to her. She was orphaned and used to cry at night when she was alone. Every time that happened, Brother Liangchuan would be there and would sit next to her. When she had fallen asleep, exhausted from the crying, he would carry her back into her room.
