    Shen Liangchuan frowned and stared at the girl in front of him.


    Her face was covered in a mess of sticky green things and she was currently jumping inside the room. After noticing him, she momentarily bent over and clutched her stomach.


    Shen Liangchuan furrowed his brow and his mood immediately soured. “What are you doing?”


    Qiao Lian immediately widened her eyes and said, “I- I am applying a facial mask...”


    He obviously knew that it was a facial mask, but hadn’t she said that she had a stomachache? How could she be in the right mood to apply a facial mask?


    Qiao Lian looked at his icy expression and immediately tensed up. “Well, actually, having a stomachache and applying a facial mask reallyplement each other! It gets boring when you’re stuck in the toilet.”


    Shen Liangchuan furrowed his brow even more.


    Qiao Lian coughed and said, “Do you want to try it?”


    Shen Liangchuan stopped himself from scolding her for her impulsiveness. He then nced again at the awful way she had applied the facial mask and could not help but say, “Do you know how to apply a facial mask? Why is your face so bumpy?”


    Qiao Lian: ...


    <i>That’s because it is swollen, OK?</i>


    But how should she answer him?


    She rolled her eyes, lowered her head and put on a guilty expression. “Well, I’m sorry, but... I had been interested in this facial mask for so long, but never had the means to buy it. Today, I suddenly saw it and was ovee with emotion... so I identally applied too much of it.”


    Shen Liangchuan: ...


    Qiao Lian raised her head and took out the box of facial masks. “Mr. Shen, do you want to apply it with me? Isn’t it strange that other celebrities always take special care of their skin, but I’ve never seen you use a single facial mask, even though there are quite a few lying around in your house?”


    Her words caused Shen Liangchuan’s expression to darken again.


    She anxiously waved her hand and said, “Ah, I’m not saying that you’re unprofessional or that you don’t have a good skin condition. In fact, I’m saying that your skin condition is extraordinarily good... Do you go to the beauty parlor often, which is why you do not use the facial masks in the house? I noticed that most of these masks were about to expire, so... should I help you apply them on your face? It’ll be a waste if you don’t use them!”


    The veins on Shen Liangchuan’s forehead started to throb violently. He threw the medicine on the coffee table and said, “Take three tablets each time. I’m leaving.”


    He turned to leave.


    Only after he had left the room did Qiao Lian breathe a sigh of relief.


    She touched the facial mask on her face and silently congratted herself for her wittiness.


    Shen Liangchuan was such an unpredictable person, so she had had to take preventive measures in case he barged into the room while she was pretending to have a stomachache.


    Thus, she had searched the washroom, found a facial mask and applied it to her face just in case.


    However...


    She looked at the medicine on the coffee table and turned in his direction.


    He was already gone, so could it be that he had returned just to give these medicine tablets to her?


    Was this an apology for the incident that happened a few days ago?


    She picked up the medicine on the coffee table and smiled silently.


    She begrudgingly epted his apology.


    After confirming that his car had left, she rushed into the washroom and washed the facial mask off her face.


    There were still bruises on her face, so when had applied the face mask, her face had burned with fiery pain. It took a lot of effort to wash the mask off her face, and only when she finished did she realize that the swelling on her face had aggravated.


    Qiao Lian silently applied ice to her face and sat on the sofa. The euphoria she had previously felt faded and her mood soured.


    —


    As Shen Liangchuan drove away from the vi, his phone started to ring.


    He picked up the call casually. He heard Song Cheng’s voice emanate from the phone’s speaker saying, “Brother Shen, did you check Weibo? Wang Wenhao actually sabotaged himself by beating a reporter!”


    Reporter?


    When Shen Liangchuan heard his words, his eyes immediately narrowed.


    He stopped the car on the roadside and hurriedly took out his phone, where he got to see the video that had just been posted to Weibo.
