You Are My Unforgettable Love Chapter 398 - Delighting the Girlfriend (8)

Qiao Lian retorted, “Of course. But I was going to get this for you!”

Shen Liangchuan looked surprised. “For me?”

Qiao Lian nodded. “Yes. You gave me a necklace, so I want to give you something too. Even though they don’t match in terms of monetary value, it’s still a gift from my heart.”

His gaze softened as he pursed his lips and looked at her.

However, Qiao Lian was now busy with the dilemma as to which ornament to select. She looked from one to the other asking, “What type do you like—”

Qiao Lian could not tell from their match whether Shen Liangchuan was a good player. During the match, his champion had spent most of the time dodging her attacks, hence she had no way of knowing which character he liked.

Not taking his eyes off her, he suddenly reached out and from the shelf, he took a mini replica of a short dagger.

That was…

Qiao Lian’s pupils suddenly shrank as she heard Shen Liangchuan said, “This is the one I want.”

Qiao Lian stared steadily at the dagger replica. She slowly lowered her gaze, as though trying to hide the wave of emotions that was was.h.i.+ng through her.

This dagger was the champion Zhou Yu’s weapon in Lot.

Zhou Yu was an a.s.sa.s.sin warrior. While Xiao Qiao was the champion used by Qiao Lian back then, Zi Chuan’s favorite champion had been Zhou Yu.

And now, Shen Liangchuan had chosen Zhou Yu’s dagger.

Qiao Lian immediately shook her head, in an attempt to shake off the memories from the past.

Zi Chuan was history, she shouldn’t think of him anymore.

It would be unfair to Shen Liangchuan. If she expected Shen Liangchuan to love her whole-heartedly, then how could she give in return anything less?

With great efforts to push aside those thoughts from the past, Qiao Lian settled for the dagger, saying, “Sure. I’ll pay now.”

Shen Liangchuan nodded.

The two workers were still watching the movie when the couple came up to the checkout counter.

“I’ll take this,” Qiao Lian called out as she held out the item to the service staff.

One of them quickly walked over with a smile. She scanned the item and said, “188.”

Qiao Lian took out her purse. As she drew out her money, she asked casually, “You like Best Actor Shen too?”

The cas.h.i.+er immediately cupped her cheeks with her hands. “Yes! I really like him! He’s so das.h.i.+ng! And his acting skills are superb. I have so many posters of him at home. If only I could meet him some day. Even if it’s just to exchange a sentence- no- even just to walk by him!”

Qiao Lian threw a sidelong glance at Shen Liangchuan and slid a bill across the counter top. “I’m sure your dream will come true.”

Returning the change to Qiao Lian, the service staff grinned and said, “Hope your words bring me luck! Please come again!”

–

On the journey home, Qiao Lian couldn’t stop smiling.

The car drove along and very quickly, they left behind the bustling district and came to the villa district.

On entering the villa district, they went to see Xia Yehua at her apartment before returning to their villa.

Normally, they would use the main road to access the apartment but today there was a car parked along the main road, blocking it. Hence, Shen Liangchuan had to make a detour to access the property from the back.

The car drove along a well-lit curved road.

As Qiao Lian glanced out of the window, she suddenly caught sight of two figures in a corner not too far off.

One of the figures handed something over to the other, and the latter quickly stuffed the item into his bag.

Although there was some distance between the car and the people, Qiao Lian, who was no stranger to dealing with money, could tell right away that the ‘item’ was a wad of banknotes.

The person handing the wad of banknotes… how was it that there was an uncanny resemblance to Song Yuanxi? And as for the other figure…

Qiao Lian’s pupils immediately shrank as she recognized the figure… It was housekeeper w.a.n.g Lan!

“Stop the car!”
