The bedroom had been kept the same way as the day she had left the villa.
The familiar interior seemed to mock the struggle she was going through.
Qiao Lian took a good look at her surroundings and calmly sat on the sofa.
It was around 3 pm when she heard the sound of a car coming up the driveway.
Qiao Lian got up and quickly made her way downstairs. She stood waiting in the main hall, as every muscle in her body tensed up. Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Yi entered.
Since he had flown yesterday and then back again today, Shen Liangchuan was exhausted. But his tiredness quickly faded the moment he set eyes on Qiao Lian.
She was smiling like a loving wife waiting for the return of her husband. Her eyes were already shining with anticipation even before he stepped in.
His footsteps halted for a moment. For some reason, even though he understood that she was putting that joyful expression for Qiao Yi and not for him, he was still glad.
