Chapter 339  : Best Actor is Jealous! (9)

The restroom floor was dirty, so the cleaner had splashed detergent all over it to prepare for mopping it.

Hence, the ground was extremely slippery where there was detergent.

The sign had been meant to give warning about the slippery floor.

Sun Linan had stepped on the slippery area and fallen flat on his face.

His clothes were soiled, and in addition… why did the dirt on the ground smell weird?

Like…

Just at that point, the cleaner returned and hurried towards Sun Linan. “Sir, are you okay? Let me help you up!”

With the cleaner’s help, Sun Linan pushed himself up. “What on earth is this?”

The cleaner replied, “… A customer had too much to drink and has just thrown up.”

“Ugggh!” he gagged. On hearing this, Sun Linan almost threw up.

The smell on him was too much and he quickly removed his jacket. But there was puke on his trousers too.

He couldn’t possibly remove his trousers as well.

He gritted his teeth with anger. “If someone had too much to drink, then you guys ought to have cleaned up properly!”

“This- I- I had just mopped it once and went to get a refill of clean water.”

“Well then put up a sign of warning, for goodness’ sake!” Sun Linan hollered angrily, “Your hotel is so irresponsible!”

The cleaner was on the verge of tears. “I did put up a sign. It’s true. See? Here it is.”

Sun Linan’s gaze followed the direction that the cleaner was pointing at and eventually fell on the sign. It had originally been placed in a conspicuous location, but somehow it had gotten moved to the side.

“Crap! Who has been so unethical!?”

Qiao Lian was feeling uneasy, sitting alone in the private room.

Shen Liangchuan and Sun Linan had both gone to the washroom. Given Sun Tzi’s personality, would there be trouble?

But there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t possibly walk into the male washroom.

As she was considering her options, the private room’s door was swung open and Shen Liangchuan walked in.

Qiao Lian quickly studied his expression in search of any signs of anger.

The verdict was…

He looked calm. There was no sign of gloom at all.

So had anything happened while the two men had gone to the washroom? She looked in the direction of the doorway awkwardly. No Sun Linan. Unable to wait any longer, she asked, “Where’s Sun Linan?”

“He was behind me.”

Qiao Lian nodded as Shen Liangchuan continued, “But I think he might not be coming back in.”

Right after these words, his cell phone rang.

He took a look at the phone screen and raised an eyebrow. After picking up, he put the call on speaker and placed the cell phone on the table.

“Xiao Lian…” it was Sun Linan’s voice on the other end.

Qiao Lian was surprised. “Yes?”

“I suddenly remembered that I need to attend to an urgent matter, so I’ll have to leave first. But we’ve agreed… to meet up again tomorrow.”

“What?”

Qiao Lian was stupefied and lifted her gaze to glance at the calm and collected Shen Liangchuan. For some reason she felt a little anxious. “Are you okay?”

“… No problem! What could have possibly gone wrong? I’m perfectly fine. I’ll leave now and look for you at the news agency tomorrow, bye!”

After he said these words, he hung up.

Qiao Lian thought, “What exactly had happened?”

“What could have happened?” thought Shen Liangchuan. “How would he dare appear before her in soiled clothes?”

Of course, he didn’t say anything out loud. He looked at the feast laying before them. Then, picking up a piece of sweet and sour pork and placing it on Qiao Lian’s bowl, he told her, “Here, have more.”

Qiao Lian was still stumped.
