<h4>Chapter 1289: End Game (29)</h4>


    They browsed around in the mall.


    Qiao Lian not only bought Shen Liangchuan a set of the equipment, but she got one for herself as well. She sweetly named their new matching items, “These are the loving couple’s equipment.”


    Shen Liangchuan said, “... Don’t you already have your own?”


    She replied, “But I want to have the same as you.”


    “Doing this is just misusing the club’s funds.”


    Qiao Lian smiled immediately and put her arms around his, saying, “Which is why I’m not using the club’s funds for mine. Hubby, why don’t you buy them for me?”


    The shop attendant couldn’t help but giggle at the couple’s banter.


    Shen Liangchuan pulled a straight face and looked at that silly woman that was his wife. Then he reached out and tapped her nose lightly.


    They were such a lovey-dovey pair that any singleton seeing this would have been tortured to death.


    After paying for the items, they walked out of the shop.


    They headed down to the shopping mall’s parking. When the elevator door opened, they stepped out and walked straight ahead.


    After taking a couple of steps, Qiao Lian suddenly halted and asked Shen Liangchuan, “Did you hear that?”


    He frowned in concentration, pricking up his ears. He shook his head.


    Puzzled, she replied, “Well that must have been my imagination.”


    They continued walking.


    After another couple of steps, she halted again and said, “There’s really that sound again!”


    Shen Liangchuan: ...


    The two fell silent for a moment, Shen Liangchuan finally heard the faint sound of breathing and someone gasping for breath.


    In the quiet and dim underground parking, it was a little unnerving.


    Qiao Lian unconsciously tightened her grip around his arm and shouted, “Who’s there?”


    Silence.


    She looked at Shen Liangchuan, her eyes filled with fear. “Shen Liangchuan, it’s not a ghost, is it? Why am I getting goosebumps!?”


    Shen Liangchuan looked at her, cast his gaze down and said, “I didn’t used to believe in ghosts and spirits.”


    Her eyes widened at his words and she asked, “And now?”


    “Now I just feel that the Chinese civilization is broad and profound, fortune telling has its logic. A person’s fortune can be changed.”


    “What does all of that mean?”


    “It means that there are indeed no ghosts in the world, but there are things that science cannot exin.”


    With that, Qiao Lian started to inch closer to Shen Liangchuan. Now she was almost leaning on himpletely.


    When Shen Liangchuan saw how frightened she was, he couldn’t help but purse his lips and smile faintly.


    Then he suddenly pointed at a spot not too far away and said, “Quick, look, what’s that?”


    Qiao Lian looked in the direction he was pointing and, right at this point, a hand pped her on the back.


    She gave a sharp shriek in fright.


    At once, Shen Liangchuan burst outughing.


    Qiao Lian: ...


    She red at Shen Liangchuan and cried, “You did that on purpose!”


    He reached out and put his arms around her shoulders, adding, “You’ve always been quite bold, how is it you’re bothered by such things?”


    Qiao Lian was speechless.


    This man was simply too despicable.


    But his behavior oddly reminded her of the Zi Chuan she had known many years ago.


    When they used to y video games together, he had been like this too. He would frequently bully her and sometimes indirectly rebuke her.


    Whenever she yed Xiao Qiao poorly and the enemy also happened to have someone ying a Xiao Qiao, he would say on the microphone, “Tsk tsk, other people’s Xiao Qiao and my Xiao Qiao...”


    Even now, when she thought of the tone in which he had said this, it infuriated her.


    She lowered her head and giggled as she continued walking to their car with him.


    When they were about to get into the car, Qiao Lian suddenly halted once more. She looked at Shen Liangchuan and said, “Shen Liangchuan, there’s really somebody here.”
