The moment Qiao Lian saw Shen Liangchuan, her eyes lit up.
Hadn’t he left?
She wondered as he walked towards them.
Qiao Lian immediately asked, “Why are you here?”
Shen Liangchuan replied indifferently, “I came out to make a call.”
His icy gaze lightly brushed over Sun Linan. “… and coincidentally overheard a confession mini-drama.”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.
His tone somehow reeked of jealousy.
She immediately broke into a grin and was about to speak when Sun Linan interrupted him, “Shen Liangchuan?”
Shen Liangchuan was wearing his mask, although he had taken off his sunglasses. He turned around at the mention of his name.
Upon confirming that it was him indeed, Sun Linan was surprised. “What are you doing here?”
What a question…
Qiao Lian gave Shen Liangchuan a look.
Shen Liangchuan, however, looked at Sun Linan. “Are you looking for me for some reason?”
Looking completely stupefied now, Sun Linan said, “Was I looking for you?”
Shen Liangchuan said, “Weren’t you looking for CQ Team’s investor?”
Sun Linan nodded and said, “That’s right, I was looking for the investor, but what has that got to-”
He suddenly realized it mid-way through his sentence. “You’re the investor of CQ Team?”
Having said so, he looked over at Qiao Lian. He suddenly saw the light. “So it’s you, buddy!”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.
“Since when,” Shen Liangchuan thought, “were they buddies?”
At this point, Sun Linan took one step towards him and extended his arm, looking like he was about to pat Shen Liangchuan’s back.
The latter took a step back to avoid the other man’s physical contact.
Not that Sun Linan noticed. He lowered his voice and said, “Buddy, consider this a huge favour to me. Please, this team of yours, name a price. I’ll buy it!”
Shen Liangchuan was speechless.
Sun Linan looked at Qiao Lian again. “Do you see her? She is my childhood love. I want to give her the team. Sell the club to me, whatever price you name, I’ll pay! Won’t you agree and help me accomplish my aim?”
Help you accomplish what aim exactly?
Help you accomplish the aim of courting my wife?!
Shen Liangchuan was on the verge of rolling his eyes at Sun Linan.
But instead he said flatly, “I’m not selling.”
“But why?” Sun Linan grabbed his arm to stop him from leaving. “If you won’t give me a reason, I’m not letting you leave!”
Shen Liangchuan was speechless.
He frowned deeply.
Qiao Lian stepped forward. “Hey, what are you trying to do?”
Sun Linan looked at Qiao Lian. “I can’t stand seeing you work for someone else. I want you to be the boss!”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.
“I’m no different from being a boss!”
“How could it be the same? Look, wouldn’t you still have to be Shen Liangchuan’s subordinate? But if the team was yours, you could do whatever you wish.”
Qiao Lian was getting quite exhausted from having to deal with Sun Linan.
Before she could say anything, Shen Liangchuan spoke again, “She is the boss of the team.”
Sun Linan paused. “What? Didn’t you say the team belonged to you?”
“It’s hers too.”
Sun Linan was puzzled. “Why?”
Shen Liangchuan glanced at Qiao Lian and suddenly put his arms around her shoulders. He said, “Because we are husband and wife.”
Upon hearing these words, Sun Linan looked as though he was fossilized. He froze on the spot.
With a look of disbelief, he stared at the two of them for some time before he stammered, “How- how can that be possible?”
Shen Liangchuan did not pay attention to his question and, on the contrary, warned him, “Mr. Sun, please stay away from my wife in the future. As for your suggestion of buying the team as a gift to my wife, I don’t feel it’s quite necessary.”
