Qiao Lian did not see the car parked by the road next to her office building.
Shen Liangchuan sat in the driver seat with his gaze fixed on the building she was in.
The night before, he had received her message informing him that she was working extra hours.
When he read the message, he had paused and sat quietly in the master bedroom.
He had come to realize that without her presence, the place seemed desolate and terribly lonely.
He wasn't sure if he had been in his right mind when he found himself driving out in the middle of the night, to Qiao Lian's office building. And when he got there, he could not find the courage to enter the building, much less go look for her.
This time, he had shielded Song Yuanxi and had lied to Qiao Lian in the process.
But now, he no longer wanted to tell another lie.
What if she asked him about the team's information leak? How was he going to answer?
