Chapter 5

Qiao Lian’s shiny black eyes resonated her fear.

Shen Liangchuan was dressed in a well-tailored dark gray suit and as he sat in the car quietly, his superiority was emphasized.

His expression was grave and still as anger emitted from him. Everyone around him could sense his fury, and they all held their breaths in fear.

“I-I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…” she stammered. Qiao Lian couldn’t feel any pain throughout her body. Instead, she gripped her fingers in anxiety and hurriedly moved backward.

However, before she was able to proceed far, her shoulder was grabbed by a big icy cold hand.

She froze on the spot and as she turned around, her eyes met Shen Liangchuan’s. They were shining with danger.

His grave stare made Qiao Lian feel as if she was being held by her throat, so she was having difficulty breathing smoothly. “Is this to provoke me?” Shen Liangchuan remarked coldly.

Huh?

Qiao Lian was stunned.

What does he mean?

He thought that she appeared there to threaten him with revealing her identity as Mrs. Shen? To negotiate terms with him?

“No, I don’t mean that. I’m not—” him mistaking Qiao Lian’s situation caused her to feel very anxious, and she wanted to explain herself.

Midway through her sentence, she suddenly realized that many reporters were eyeing them, as if they were eyeing their prey. They would be exposed if she misspoke so much as one word.

“Mr. Shen, you are mistaking my intentions. I have absolutely no intentions of provoking you. My chief editor ordered me to interview you, so I was forced and had no choice at all. Mr. Shen, could you tell us who exactly is Mrs. Shen?” Qiao Lian suddenly had an idea, and her expression became one that was fawning and gossipy.

When she finished her sentence, she looked at Shen Liangchuan anxiously.

He didn’t move, and his pair of eyes looked as calm as the ocean. They had such depth that no one would be able to guess what was going through his mind.

Qiao Lian swallowed nervously, internally wishing for him to ask her to scram off.

As they were in a stalemate, a coquettish voice sounded from the inside of the car, “Teacher Shen, see how shocked the pitiful reporter is! Everyone else here is also having a difficult time waiting here, why don’t you tell them who Mrs. Shen is?”

Qiao Lian’s irises contracted when she realized a woman was sitting in the rear seat of the car. She was Yang Lingsi, the female lead of the drama.

She couldn’t help but glance at Yang Lingsi and Shen Liangchuan back and forth.

Why would they be together in the same car?

Yesterday, Shen Liangchuan had left in the middle of the night. Could it be that he had gone to…

However, at that instant, as she was immersed in her thoughts, the reporters behind her burst in excitement.

As Best Actor Shen was well-known to be aloof, the reporters had come with the mentality that they might not manage to capture anything. Little did they know that there was a surprise in store!

“Kacha!” there were continuous sounds of photos being taken. Everyone also started questioning Yang Lingsi’s appearance in his car.

“Mr. Shen, may I know why you are entering the set with Ms. Yang?”

“It’s only the second day of your marriage and you specially came to act in this set. Are you here to show support for Ms. Yang Lingsi?”

“Mr. Shen, may I know who is your wife? Is she someone in the industry?”

The questions were thrown continuously to Shen Liangchuan. His gaze turned cold as his lips moved and out flowed a mellifluous voice, “Since all of you are so curious, let me tell you…”

As Qiao Lian watched the uncontrolled scene, she suddenly had a bad hunch. Unluckily, her hunch came true. Shen Liangchuan’s finger suddenly pointed to her and said, “My wife is— her!”
