<h4>Chapter 1272: End Game (12)</h4>


    When Qiao Lian woke up the next day, she realized that Shen Liangchuan was a little different.


    Although he had doted on her in the past, had loved her and had cared for her, because of Soul Fighter, it used to seem like there was an invisible barrier between them. But that morning Shen Liangchuan seemed to have opened up to her entirely.


    She observed him as he responded at her beck and call. He spoke gently to her with his deep voice. He seemed loving and incapable of separating from her. Her heart melted.


    But this disy of affection...


    “Hey, have you done something you shouldn’t have?” Qiao Lian asked nervously.


    There must be a devil at work when the situation was odd.


    Shen Liangchuan froze in the midst of filling her bowl. He looked up at her and asked, “Why did you say that?”


    Qiao Lian pointed at what he was just doing as an example. “Since I woke up, you’ve been treating me like a kid, helping me get dressed, carrying me to the washroom, helping me wash up. Then you massaged my back even though the baby’s not even three months old and my back doesn’t hurt. You even fed me, I have arms and feet. What’s the matter with you? To sum up, I’m sure you’re feeling guilty over something you’ve done, confess. Are you nning to cheat when we yter? Or have you done something that’s struck your guilty conscience?”


    Shen Liangchuan: ...


    He coughed and said, “No, I haven’t.”


    She wouldn’t let it go. “Then what’s the matter with you?”


    He insisted, “Really, nothing. Can’t I simply treat you well?”


    Qiao Lian smirked. “Hehehe, if it isn’t something you’ve done, then it must be you have a favor to ask. Say it, what is it you’re after?”


    Shen Liangchuan was stumped by the question.


    Coughing again, he looked at her and slowly said, “Really, I- Ok. I do have a favor to ask.”


    Immediately, a smug expression appeared on Qiao Lian’s face. A look that said, “I knew it!” Putting on an air of magnanimity, she continued, “Alright, out with it then. since you’ve been trying to tter me, I’ll agree to whatever you ask for.”


    His expression darkened at once. “Really? Whatever I ask for?”


    She asked, “... What’s your wish?”


    “Simple. It’s...” He leaned over and whispered into her ear.


    Qiao Lian turned scarlet at once and eximed, “Argh, you pervert!”


    “You said you’d agree to anything.”


    “Not this.”


    “Why not?”


    “Just not!”


    “Why?”


    “...”


    Arguing over this, they fell onto the bed.


    After a while, there was the sound of rustling sheets and every protest that Qiao Lian made was stifled with a kiss on her lips.


    Since Qiao Lian had discovered she was pregnant, they had not been intimate for almost two months. For sure, Shen Liangchuan couldn’t contain himself anymore.


    Half an hour. This was also exactly what the exhausted Qiao Lian thought.


    Indeed men were scary creatures, beasts turned on only by their lower bodies.


    That one act that would settle all disagreements... They were simply perverts.


    When Shen Liangchuan was finally satisfied, she waved her hand in exhaustion and sat up pouting. “To think there’s a match today! I could impensation from getting injured at work.”


    Narrowing his eyes, he replied, “It’s not as though you’re ying the match today.”


    “But I’m training with them tomorrow!”


    Shen Liangchuan asked, “Are you doing this again for me tomorrow?”


    Qiao Lian: ...!!
