All Qiao Lian could think about was if Shen Liangchuan’s gesture of specially looking for her to comfort her meant that he liked her?
As a result, she did no longer process any of Fan Jie’s incessant talking.
She finally sent Fan Jie off after much effort. On the way back to the news agency, her heartbeat started racing quickly and her cheeks burnt uncontrollably whenever she thought of Shen Liangchuan.
She could not help but lower her head. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Shen Liangchuan.
[What time do you get off work tonight?]
She sent the message and proceeded into the news agency.
The moment she stepped in, she was faced with Su Meimei.
As if she was looking at an enemy, she glared at Qiao Lian with red eyes. That look made Qiao Lian wonder if she had done something that despicable.
She was walking past Su Meimei calmly when she heard her say, “Qiao Lian, don’t get too excited. So what if you have the upper hand now? You seduced Fan Jie with some cajoleries, but all you get in return is just a piece of news! If you were actually capable, you would have been able to fire me like I fired you!”
Stopping in her tracks, she turned around and looked at her.
She had not voiced out this request to Liu Zhixing then because the managing editor and Liu Zhixing were still in the news agency. Hence, it was true that she could not fire Su Meimei.
However, as she listened to her, she could not stifle her smile. “Actually, it’s better that you stayed.”
Su Meimei flinched.
Qiao Lian explained, “If you stay, you will be able to see clearly that you are merely a toy that can be discarded any time in Liu Zhixing’s eyes.”
“You—!” Stepping forward, she stretched out her arm to hit her. However, she was stopped as Qiao Lian instantly grabbed her wrist.
Looking at the woman who was on the brink of losing it, Qiao Lian scoffed, “Su Meimei, tell me, if just now I had strongly requested Liu Zhixing to fire you and if he hadn’t done so, he would have lost me and Fan Jie’s exclusive interview. What do you think he would have done?”
What would have he done?
Su Meimei froze.
Initially, she had been certain that Liu Zhixing wouldn’t have let her suffer. But after what had happened today, she suddenly felt that Liu Zhixing might actually fire her without any hesitation.
Qiao Lian caught the uncertainty in her eyes and sneered, “Su Meimei, as your chief editor, I order you to go apologize to Mo Ru right now!”
Right after that, she pushed away the dazed person and walked into her office.
Once she was sitting at her desk, she picked up her phone and realized that Shen Liangchuan had replied to her message: [Why?]
Qiao Lian stared at the screen nervously.
During this period of time, she had been getting along very well with Shen Liangchuan.
Shen Liangchuan did have feelings for her. So if she confessed, would Shen Liangchuan try to accept her?
She was the kind of person who took action. After some thought, she began typing again. However, she deleted what she had typed again. She kept typing and deleting over and over. She only managed to finish crafting one message five minutes later: [Why are you being so nice to me?]
Then, she pressed ‘send’ nervously.
Not long after the message was sent, she received a reply from him: [You are my wife.]
She felt so happy that she could fly.
Did these words mean that he had acknowledged her presence?
Just when she was bathing in excitement, Xiao Ye walked in while holding a document. “Ms Qiao, the results for the health checkup that the company held a few days ago came out. This is yours.”
Qiao Lian took the health checkup report and opened it right away. Her gaze was fixated on a line under the blood examination: Progesterone and estrogen levels are rather high. Re-examination is recommended.
