Chapter 1124  : Best Actor Shen Is Jealous (10)

Shen Liangchuan: … !!

He looked at Qiao Lian, who just kept on eating, and his chest started heaving.

Greatly disappointed and trying to suppress his emotions, he picked up his chopsticks to serve himself. All of a sudden, a crab roe dumpling was held out in front of him.

Surprised, he looked up and saw that Qiao Lian was smiling at him. She said, “Here, this is for you.”

She was holding the dumpling between her chopsticks and, just as Shen Liangchuan was about to close his mouth around it, she quickly retracted her hand and drew back the dumpling.

Shen Liangchuan was flabbergasted.

At once, peals of laughter from Qiao Lian rang through the room.

She pointed at the man, laughing and saying, “Shen Liangchuan, you’re childish beyond belief! Hahahahaha.”

His expression immediately darkened.

So after going round in circles, Qiao Lian did understand what he was going on about, but had feigned ignorance.

As he realized this, Qiao Lian’s laughter died down and she looked at the spread on the dining table.

She said slowly, “Shen Liangchuan, I know you don’t like eating crab roe dumplings.”

Shen Liangchuan was slightly taken aback by her remark.

She continued, “So stop making things difficult for yourself.”

At these words, she reached out with her chopsticks and picked up a piece of sirloin. Placing that in his bowl, she said, “I know you like this. Eat up.”

Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze to stare at the strip of sirloin steak in his bowl.

All of a sudden, he smiled.

He must have been possessed to get jealous over a crab roe dumpling.

He shook his head, feeling sillier than he had ever felt all his life.

He lowered his head as this thought crossed his mind and reached for his chopsticks. As he picked up the sirloin in his bowl and put it into his mouth, Qiao Lian remarked, “Lu Nanze is allergic to crab roe.”

Shen Liangchuan was stunned by those words. He looked up at her.

A flash of realization struck him like lightning out of the blue.

So Qiao Lian had fed him crab roe on purpose because she knew he was allergic to it?

Immediately, that choked up feeling in his chest vanished.

Following this, he picked up a slice of fish and placed it in Qiao Lian’s bowl, saying, “Eat more of this.”

Qiao Lian was speechless.

The glee he felt all of a sudden after hearing about the allergy was just a little too obvious.

This man… This man!

–

As warm and joyous the atmosphere was in the Qiao family villa, there was the same measure of desolation and loneliness in another villa elsewhere.

Qiao Yiyi had been held in the house for a few days now.

Almost no one had talked to her during this time. Even the housekeepers downstairs had avoided her like plague and jumped like they had just seen a ghost whenever she tried talking to them.

She felt like she was going crazy.

That feeling of not having anyone interact with her all day.

She was extremely frustrated, troubled and at the same time full of fear.

This was Second Brother’s punishment for her. There was no physical pain, but the mental torture was beyond unbearable, she was about to have a breakdown.

At 6 p.m., the housekeeper brought dinner to her right on time.

She set the table and was about to leave after this when Qiao Yiyi stood up suddenly. She grabbed the housekeeper’s hand and said, “You, help me get Second Brother, tell him I’m looking for him.”

The housekeeper immediately withdrew her hand. She looked at Qiao Yiyi and said, “Mr. Lu is very busy, how could he find time for you?”

Qiao Yiyi bit her lip at once.
