You Are My Unforgettable Love

Qiao Lian slowed down her steps even more when she saw that he was resting.

Her movements were very light and stealthy, almost holding her breath.

Then she walked into the bathroom. He heard her shut the bathroom door and soon after, there was the sound of running water.

A shower before bed.

The room was very well sound-proofed, so the sound of her taking a shower was almost negligible.

But right now, that sound was drilling into his brain, creating an unbearable noise in his head.

Shen Liangchuan’s eyes snapped open as he sat up in bed.

He felt as though there was a huge rock pushing down his chest, causing him to breathe with much difficulty.

He sat there motionless, with an almost blank look in his eyes.

The night was dragging on forever.

She had only been in the shower for 15 minutes but to him, it felt more like 15 hours.

When Qiao Lian finally stepped out of the bathroom, he sighed with relief.

She was surprised to see him sitting up in bed and asked, “Didn’t you sleep?”

He massaged his temples as he nodded and said, “I couldn’t fall asleep.”

Couldn’t fall asleep?

Qiao Lian looked at him with a stunned expression.

He had always been mindful about maintenance of good health. But right now, he had dark circles under his eyes as though he had not slept well for a long time.

Recalling the situation in the office in the afternoon, she walked over to him and said, “Let me help you.”

Shen Liangchuan paused and grunted, “Hmmm?”

She walked over and climbed into bed.

When she came close, a whiff of fresh scent filled his nose.

For some reason, the scent calmed him down.

She sat next to him, patted her thighs and said to him, “Come, lie over here.”

Puzzled, he lay down where she asked him to and the next moment, a gentle but icy cold pair of hands touched his temples.

When she gently pressed down, he felt soreness and distention.

Then she said, “I think Mom is hoping that we drop the charges against Shen Xiu.”

Shen Liangchuan snorted with disdain.

She asked him, “Where did you take Shen Zihao earlier on?”

“Villa 18.”

She gasped in surprise and continued, “So the reason you left the villa in disarray was because you wanted Shen Zihao to see it?”

Shen Liangchuan did not deny it.

“I say! You- How did you know that Mei Feng was going to do this?”

“Just a guess.”

Qiao Lian was amazed when she realized this and she said, “You are clever!”

Somehow, her praises had a soothing effect on him.

As the pair of little hands continued to work on his temple, the soreness and tension started to ease up and gradually went away.

“I do feel that we should let Shen Xiu off this time for Zihao’s sake. Mom really doesn’t wish for Zihao to be sad.”

This sort of domestic small talk provided Shen Liangchuan a sense of their daily reality, as opposed to the thoughts that he had been having around Soul Fighter, which made him extremely sorrowful.

He gave a cold humph.

Qiao Lian continued, “As I was coming up, Mom told me to have a chat with you about it. It’s not that she doesn’t want to make Shen Xiu pay, but Shen Zihao was right in the fact that this is going to be his once-in-a-lifetime event. Even if Mei Feng didn’t mind it, she would. She doesn’t want to create any difficulties for Zihao.”

He sighed and replied, “The greatest people in the world are always be mothers. Mom is someone who would rather be put in a difficult situation herself than to put any of her children through it.”

“Although I don’t think I can forgive Shen Xiu, and even wish I could use this opportunity to greatly embarrass him to teach him a lesson, my heart aches for Mom when I see her like this.”

“Shen Liangchuan, I’ve passed on the message. Whether we agree to it, it’s your call.”
