Chapter 802: He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (26)

Mei Feng gave a humph.

Shen Xiu’s wandering hand was already making its way up from under the hem of her pajama’s top. He cajoled her, “Come on, Feng’er… he’s a big boy, he is aware. He’s got a wife and a baby now, everyone’s an adult around here. What are you shy about?”

“Ah, be gentle. Didn’t you say your back hurts?”

“It’s just a minor injury, it’s nothing. If you don’t believe, let’s try it…”

“So inappropriate… Ahhhh…”

–

When Shen Liangchuan woke up, the room was quiet and still.

On reflex, he reached for his cell phone. With a slight movement of his body, he realized that his head was resting on a pair of soft thighs.

He paused and recalled what had happened earlier on.

He lifted his head immediately and tried to make out the situation under the dim ambient light.

Qiao Lian must have massaged him for some time, until she was tired and fell asleep herself. She was lying down sideways.

Her thighs, however, had not moved from the earlier position, so they were probably quite numb by now.

Shen Liangchuan focused his vision and picked up his cell phone. It was already five in the morning.

This meant that he had slept for five hours.

But physically, he felt like he had finally recovered and was revitalized. The headache had subsided.

Quietly, he stood up and straightened himself up. As he was walking out, he suddenly heard movement on the bed. Then he heard the woman’s half-awake mumbling, “Oh… I fell asleep! Has your headache gone away?”

Shen Liangchuan turned around when he heard her speak.

He suddenly felt warm all over.

He walked over to the bed. Putting his arms around her waist, he drew her in and lay her down on the bed. Then he planted a kiss on her forehead and said, “It’s already 5 a.m., get some sleep. I’m going out for a jog.”

Qiao Lian mumbled and turned onto her side. Shortly afterwards, she fell back asleep.

Shen Liangchuan touched her lightly on the face before turning and leaving the room.

It was early.

He changed into his exercise gear, headed towards the garden and ran around it a few times.

Breathing in the early morning smog of Beijing, he felt as though he had been out of his own body in the last few days.

Since he had chosen to be together with Xiao Qiao, he had to have faith.

He knew that what he was doing may be unfair to Soul Fighter, but it was a conscious decision nevertheless, wasn’t it?

The icy cold morning air filled his lungs as he took a deep breath, and the sharpness of it woke him up and cleared his mind.

He jogged home, went upstairs and took out his cell phone as he walked into the study. He called Song Cheng. “Get me a family physician.”

Song Cheng was surprised. He asked, “Brother Shen, what’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Uh huh.”

“Then I’ll get onto it as soon as possible. Where should I send him?”

“Your place.”

“What?”

“I’ll go over now.”

After he had hung up, Shen Liangchuan gave an excuse that he was busy and drove off to Song Cheng’s apartment.

Wearing his sunglasses and mask, he avoided the paparazzi and pedestrians along the way, till he arrived at Song Cheng’s doorstep.

The door flew open after he hit the doorbell.

Now Song Cheng was standing at the doorway, looking troubled and worried. His eyes seemed to be glistening with tears as he looked at Shen Liangchuan. “Brother Shen, quickly come in!”

Ignoring the fact that the man was clearly in turmoil, Shen Liangchuan walked straight in.

Song Cheng sighed and asked, “Brother Shen, are we keeping this from Sister Qiao and Senior Madam?”

Shen Liangchuan nodded.

The other man frowned and said, “But keeping it from them is not a solution. Why don’t we tell them, and we can all get through this together?”

Shen Liangchuan looked up in confusion when he heard Song Cheng’s remark.
