You Are My Unforgettable Love Chapter 286 - She is Xiao Qiao (1)

“You can’t be trusted to take care of yourself!”

Qiao Lian wasn’t conscious that while examining the bandage that covered his wound, she was tightly grasping his arm. She found that it was slightly damp.

She immediately frowned, but he said at the same time, “I’ve been very careful.”

“Bullsh*t! The bandage is wet!”

In her anxiety, she had chided him.

She only realized it afterwards, so she then immediately covered her mouth.

Looking up at him, she caught a vague expression on his face, but there was an unmistakable tenderness in his eyes. He was apparently not angry.

Relieved, she pulled him to the sofa on the side and made him sit down. Opening up the first aid kit, she knelt on the carpet and started to change Shen Liangchuan’s dressing.

The expression on her face was serious as she tilted her head over his wound. After the dressing had been changed, she suddenly became conscious of the warm breath grazing the back of her neck.

She then realized how puzzling they probably looked, being so up-close.

The scent of his breath drifted towards her, making her body tense up and her mouth parched.

She wanted to stand up, but Shen Liangchuan rested his head on her shoulder at once, leaning on her as though he was a child throwing a tantrum. She dared not move.

She gulped nervously and curled her fingers, staying in that position for a while. Just as she was about to speak, he slipped his arms around her waist and lifted her, placing her on his lap.

The next second, he lowered his head and came closer!

He had given Qiao Lian a fright. Just as she thought that he was going to kiss her, Shen Liangchuan’s face came within a hair’s breadth and stopped. Then with his deep and hoa.r.s.e voice he asked, “May I?”

Qiao Lian’s face immediately turned bright scarlet.

Whenever he had wanted her in the past, he had never once stopped to ask for her consent beforehand.

But now…

Qiao Lian hesitated. How was she going to respond to such a question?!

If she said ‘yes’, it would make her seem easy. Wasn’t she supposed to still be angry at him?

But if she said ‘no’… the truth was, she wanted him.

In her moment of conflict, he continued, “I’ll take it as a yes if you don’t speak up.”

Following this, he lifted her onto the sofa and pressed his body against hers.

And right at that moment…

Qiao Lian’s cell phone started ringing!

The piercing tone brought her back to her senses. Gathering all her strength, she pushed Shen Liangchuan aside and jumped up to answer the phone. On the other end of the line was Song Cheng’s voice, “Ms Qiao, Smiling Tiger from the team wishes to quit.”

–

At the clubhouse in the villa.

Qiao Lian rushed over to the villa and on arrival, she saw Smiling Tiger carrying his suitcase behind him. She asked, “Why?”

Looking a little awkward, he hesitated before saying, “The King Fighting Team gave me an invitation.”

King Fighting Team was a recently-established eSports team.

Qiao Lian frowned and continued, “Did they offer better terms than us? We can negotiate. You—”

“Not really. I think it will be tough to find a team that offers better terms.” Smiling Tiger said with much guilt, “I’m sorry.”

Qiao Lian took a deep breath and pressed on, “What’s the reason then?”

Smiling Tiger looked at her and then lowered his gaze. “Because their trainer is Purple Fairy.”

Purple Fairy?

Qiao Lian was stunned.

Smiling Tiger continued, “She is Xiao Qiao, the famed female gamer from Lot back then.”

Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes.

What?!
