Chapter 995 (14)

Shen Liangchuan was taken aback by how agitated she suddenly was. He asked, “Why not?”

Qiao Lian quickly realized that she had probably overreacted, and that he would suspect something was not right if she didn’t have a good explanation for her behavior.

She cast her gaze down and hurriedly said, “The divorce agreement that I left behind for you... Have you signed it?”

Shen Liangchuan frowned.

Clearing her throat, she continued, “We- we- we can’t be doing these things when our relationship is so unclear!”

She said this with conviction, as though it provided all the justification she needed.

However, upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan looked at her in astonishment and asked ,”What was it that you thought I was going to do?”

Turning a bright scarlet, she stammered, “That- that.”

“What?”

“That- that thing, of course!”

The man raised an eyebrow and asked, “And what would that thing refer to?”

She was flabbergasted.

Immediately, she jumped off the bed, saying, “Well, that thing! You- Don’t you know anything?”

Seeing how he had teased her into a rage, Shen Liangchuan couldn’t stop himself from laughing. “What was it you thought I was going to do? I was only trying to rehearse the script.”

Rehearse the script?

Sure.

Shen Liangchuan stood up and walked to the coffee table. He picked up a script and held it out to Qiao Lian. “The two characters’ first kiss is on the wedding night and then Zhou Yu carries Xiao Qiao to the bed. This is followed by an intimate scene.”

Qiao Lian was stumped.

So what had happened just then had all been a rehearsal?

She bit her lip. No way.

She pointed at the door and said, “Well, I suppose you can leave now that the rehearsal is done?”

The man shook his head in disapproval. “You didn’t do a good job.”

Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.

He continued, “Why don’t we try it again?”

Qiao Lian: ...!!

She lifted her hands and clutched her chest at once, saying, “No way! You pervert! Don’t think I don’t know you’re trying to take advantage of me.”

Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and suddenly laughed. But as he did so, he said something that melted her heart, “Xiao Qiao...”

“Uh huh?”

“I’d take advantage of only you.”

She fell silent.

She blushed furiously at those words, as much as she tried not to.

She lowered her head, helplessly wondering how this man could be so improper.

At once, the tension appeared between them and an uncertain sensation rose in the room.

Shen Liangchuan walked towards her and stopped next to her. “Alright, let’s stop this nonsense and go to bed.”

Stumped, Qiao Lian asked at once, “... Why aren’t you going back to your own room?”

He raised an eyebrow and replied, “The crew thinks that you want to hook up with the male lead. So they’ve booked one room only for the two of us.”

Qiao Lian was stunned.

Hook up with the male lead... this guy wouldn’t let her forget what she had said.

It was no wonder that they had arranged for the junior assistant to be in another room. It all made sense now.

Qiao Lian spoke, “So now what are we going to do?”

“Xiao Qiao, you’re going to have to shelter me for the night. Otherwise, I’ll have to sleep on the street.”

As he said this, his voice faded.

She turned to look at him and found that his eyes had shut, as though he had fallen asleep.

Fallen asleep.

She remembered his insomnia and didn’t dare to move an inch, for fear of waking him.

–

On the other end of things, an employee who had his eyes fixed on the presidential suite called the director. “She hasn’t come out of the room. It looks like Best Actor Shen has successfully snatched the lady!”

The director laughed and said, “Really? Best Actor Shen has ekpthimself clean all of these years, it’s surprising that he’s suddenly taken interest in a junior caster.”

The crew worker paused and said, “Actually, there’s something I have to say.”

“What is it?”

“Director, don’t you feel that Ms. Qiao looks very familiar? I’ve seen pictures of Mrs. Shen...”
