Chapter 748  : The Man On The Tombstone (2)

As soon as she sent her reply, Shen Liangchuan walked out of the kitchen with the bowls of noodles. He glanced at her and asked, “What are you doing?”

Guiltily, with a jerking movement, she logged out of the game and stood up. She walked to the dining table.

He had placed the two bowls of noodles on it.

The noodles were piping hot and, on top of the pale yellow strings, he had added two leaves of tender and plump greens, making it look extremely appetizing.

Qiao Lian’s stomach started rumbling again immediately.

They had had very little food during dinner and now they were famished.

She quickly took her seat and dug into the food with her chopsticks. She took one bite.

The soup tasted fresh and the texture of the noodles was lovely—overall, the balance of saltiness was perfect. In her famished state, she almost bit her own tongue.

Qiao Lian’s eyes shone and without saying another word, she gulped down her food.

She did not put down the chopsticks and bowl till she finished the last drop of soup. Then she lifted her head and looked at Shen Liangchuan.

The man was still eating and in a most polite manner. It was easy to tell that he had had the upbringing and training that could only have come from a prominent family.

Comparing how she had just been eating and his manners now, Qiao Lian couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

After the meal, she rested her chin on her hand and stared at him.

His eyes darkened and asked, “Want more food?”

She nodded immediately and said, “Yes.”

Without waiting for Shen Liangchuan to speak, she lifted her chopsticks at once and picked a noodle strand from his bowl. Putting one end in her mouth, she started to suck and draw the rest of the noodle strand in.

As though food tasted better if stolen!

Shen Liangchuan started to laugh too at this point and, playing along, he too picked up a noodle strand and started to suck it.

As they did so… they realized eventually that they we sucking different ends of the same strand!

Qiao Lian widened her eyes.

At the same time, the look in Shen Liangchuan’s eyes deepened and he stood up suddenly.

Bit by bit, he sucked in the strand suspended between them, until at last there was only a hair’s breadth left separating them.

Startled, Qiao Lian widened her eyes and her face turned scarlet, as she quickly bit the noodle strand.

But the next moment, a pair of soft and moist lips planted themselves against hers.

With the little dining table between them, he leaned over with his hands on the table and kissed her.

Qiao Lian: …

It was a quick peck, a brush against her lips.

But he did not move for some time.

All at once, the atmosphere was heavily suggestive.

There was a tenderness and charm in the air.

The rest of the noodles was left untouched.

Shen Liangchuan circled around the table, so he was now next to Qiao Lian’s dining chair and bent over.

If the earlier kiss had been like a dragonfly skimming the water surface, then now it was an impending thunderstorm.

He filled every bit of the inside of her mouth now, frantically and fiercely.

After a while, he grabbed her waist and was about to make his next move… when they heard someone cough.

Qiao Lian was completely taken by surprise.

She froze and felt Shen Liangchuan jump from the fright as well.

Both of them jumped up and straightened up their postures, as they spun their heads around at the same time. They saw Xia Yehua standing at the top of the stairs, her eyes wide and curious, looking straight at them.

Shen Liangchuan was at a loss for words.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth. The earlier cough they had heard hadn’t been done on purpose, they realized.

Seeing the couple staring at her, she waved her hand dismissively and said, “Oh, I didn’t see anything. Please continue.”

After this, she turned and walked back to her own room.

Qiao Lian: …
