Chapter 396: Delighting the Girlfriend (6)

A glittering necklace appeared before her eyes!

It was a delicately thin necklace strung with a single star-shaped sapphire pendant. Catching the candlelight in the gazebo, it looked exceptionally bright and sparkling.

Qiao Lian’s eyes lit up at once.

She turned immediate to Shen Liangchuan, who was watching her intently. He asked, “Isn’t it pretty?”

Qiao Lian nodded and exclaimed, “It’s beautiful!”

She extended her hand. “Is that for me?”

As someone who had grown up in the Qiao Family, the sight of precious gems and jewels was nothing new to her. But this star-shaped sapphire was so pretty she could hardly take her eyes off it.

Most women love gemstones, so her face broke into a smile immediately.

And then…

As she reached out for the necklace, the necklace swung out of her reach and Shen Liangchuan pulled back his hand holding the jewel.

He said as Qiao Lian looked at him with surprise, “It’s just for you to look.”

Liar!

The smile on her face disappeared at once.

This guy… He was doing it on purpose.

Angrily, she glared at him with her widened eyes, brighter than the sapphire stone. When Shen Liangchuan saw her reaction, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Then he stood up and walked over to her. “I’m just teasing you. Here, let me put it on for you.”

Liar!

This guy was evil.

She twitched her lips as he said, “Lower your head.”

He gathered her hair with one hand and lifted it.

As Qiao Lian had left the villa in a hurry, she had not tied her hair back. She had left it hanging and fanned out across her back, lustrous like silk brocade.

Parting her hair in the middle and tucking it to the sides, Shen Liangchuan’s fingers brushed against the sides of her face. He paused as his gaze fell on her pale nape.

His eyes darkened while he slowly secured the necklace around her neck.

Because he had lowered his head, Qiao Lian could feel his hot breath tickle her delicate skin.

She found it hard to endure. It felt like there were a thousand ants crawling inside her heart. She gritted her teeth with self-restraint as he put on the necklace for her, yet she thought that he would leave after that.

But before she could even heave a sigh of relief, he had slid his arms around her waist from behind.

Her posture stiffened as she felt him rest his head against her shoulder. Then his deep and resonant voice whispered in her ear, “Xiao Qiao, I shouldn’t have taken it out on you. From now on, your problems will be my problems. I will shoulder your burdens with you.”

Her body tensed up.

She stared blankly ahead and suddenly turned misty-eyed.

So he understood all her grievances and frustrations.

Although Li Rui’s incident had turned out to be a misunderstanding, the fact was that because of being in the entertainment industry, she had her limitations and things would always be far from perfect.

Sometimes, your eyes can play tricks on you.

Hence, she would always carry the heavy burden of a past that she hadn’t chosen. This would always be her conflict and pain.

She feared that there might come a second Li Rui, a third Li Rui…

She had never intended to hurt anyone. Those years, she had sold information only for the purpose of survival.

Now, his words hit home.

He had said he was willing to share the weight of her burdens.

No other compliment in the world could come even close to what he had said. She felt the tightness in her chest loosen and that large boulder crushing her heart finally crumbled too.

She turned around as her eyes glistened with unspilled tears. In the dimness, they looked like obsidians, calling out to Shen Liangchuan to draw nearer. Lowering his head, he sealed his lips against hers.
