    After leaving the cafe where she had negotiated with Su Penghao, Qiao Lian walked down the streets.


    Although she was disappointed that Zombie Leader could not join their team, she was mostly thinking about what Song Cheng had said then.


    Shen Liangchuan was missing.


    He had been like this before. Whenever he was unhappy, he would disappear for a few days.


    However why was he unhappy? Was it because he had felt humiliated when she had asked for a divorce?


    Or was it because...


    She did not dare to think along these lines again, because too many of her fantasies had been destroyed, making her believe that it was all one-sided.


    Shaking her head, she decided to head home. However, her cell phone suddenly rang.


    She was slightly taken aback. As she looked down and held the phone up, she realized it was Song Yuanxi.


    She pressed her lips together before picking up the call. Song Yuanxi said on the other end, “Sister-inw, do you know where Brother Liangchuan is?”


    –


    The seaside of Qinhuangdao was not crowded at all, as it was winter.


    Shen Liangchuan stood at a vi balcony, not far away from the sea. His nonchnt gaze was set on the distant sea.


    As he stood there, the sea breeze blew incessantly. It did not feel cooling like a summer breeze. Instead, it was freezing.


    He was wearing a sweater and a pair of trousers, but it seemed like he could not feel the cold at all. He drew a mouthful of smoke fiercely in an attempt to suppress the vexation in him.


    In the past whenever he had been upset, he woulde and look at the sea.


    Eight years ago, he had managed to calm his emotions by staying by the sea for a few days.


    However now, even though he was staring at the sea, he was not able to calm himself down at all.


    As he inhaled again, nicotine rushed into his lungs, triggering a surge of heat in his body.


    He turned around and extinguished the cigarette. With both hands on the balcony fence, he was clearly looking ahead, but the memory of her calmly telling him “let’s get a divorce” wouldn’t leave his mind at all.


    He clenched his fists tightly.


    Suddenly, he heard sounds from downstairs.


    This vi was his private property on Qinhuangdao.


    However, he owned houses all over the country, so nobody could know his whereabouts during his disappearance these past few days.


    There was only one person who knew that he liked to look at the sea whenever he was unhappy...


    As he thought of this, dreariness shed in his eyes. He turned around and fixated his anxious gaze on the corridor leading to the second floor.


    Momentster, he heard footsteps. A figure slowly appeared in front of him.


    After looking clearly at the woman before him, his gaze dulled. The words that came out of his mouth carried an anger that even he did not detect. “How did you know that I was here?”


    Song Yuanxi bit her lips, showing a timid look. “I- I asked Sister-inw... She doesn’t want you to know this, Brother Liang Chuan, but Aunt Xia has been very worried about you for the days you have been missing.”


    Shen Liangchuan looked down to hide the disappointment in his eyes.


    Looking at the sea whenever he was upset had always been a secret he had kept to himself since young.


    After so many years, he had only told this to her.


    Yet now, how could she tell others about this so casually?


    He suddenly felt ufortable, it was like there was a third party intruding their very own secret space.


    The sky was already dark. Song Yuanxi was carrying along a small backpack, she had nned to stay over for a night before leaving early in the morning the next day. However before she could even say anything, Shen Liangchuan suddenly started to walk out. “Let’s head back to Beijing.”


    She was slightly taken aback, but she did not say anything and simply followed him.
