Chapter 777
Chapter 777: He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (1)
“Mom, there’s really no need!”
“Ok.”
They both spoke at the same time.
Qiao Lian lifted her gaze to look at Shen Liangchuan. He said, “You haven’t gotten any new clothes for the new year. We’ll go and get you some today.”
Still angry, Qiao Lian was about to decline.
But the next moment, Xia Yehua said, “That’s right! It’s the new year and the young ones should dress up nicely. Mom has decided that you should go! Take my credit card. All expenses today are on me! And look around for some new clothes for Qiao Yi as well.”
She was so insistent that any further objections from Qiao Lian would have raised an alarm that there was something wrong.
Hence, Qiao Lian swallowed her protests.
After breakfast, Xia Yehua started to hurry them, “Have your lunch out as well. I’ll reserve you a seat at a romantic restaurant.”
She even decided where they were to go shopping. “I’ve got a Shin Kong membership card here. Do your shopping there and have lunch at a nearby restaurant.”
Then she insistently ushered them out of the house.
As Shen Liangchuan drove out of the driveway with Qiao Lian and moved away from the villa, they could see Xia Yehua standing at the doorway and waving at them.
Qiao Lian pursed her lips, waiting until the car had gone around the corner and out of Xia Yehua’s sight. Then she said grudgingly to him, “You can drop me off just a little further down from here.”
Shen Liangchuan kept silent for a moment and then said, “Mom would want to see what you’ve bought when we go home tonight. And if we have nothing to show for it, what are we going to do then?”
It didn’t take much for Qiao Lian’s anger to well up and she retorted, “Then I’ll go shopping by myself! In any case, it doesn’t seem like you fancy having me around.”
The way he had brushed her off last night had been deeply hurtful.
Upon hearing these words and noticing that she was edgier than lit explosives, he suddenly felt that life could actually be quite interesting and colorful if they got into a disagreement once in a while.
He cleared his throat once and said, “I’m really not at ease, because you have bad taste.”
Qiao Lian: …
Qiao Lian was absolutely livid now.
Could Shen Liangchuan be any more despicable?
Obviously, he was in the wrong, so what right did he have to be so high-handed?
She turned her head away and looked out of the window, ignoring the man for the rest of the ride.
Very soon, they arrived at the shopping mall. Shen Liangchuan left his car in the underground car park.
Then, putting on his mask and sunglasses, he followed Qiao Lian as they made their way up.
They went into a clothing store.
He looked at all the colorful clothes as they walked in. Then, he reached out for a red jacket and, holding it out to her, said, “This looks good.”
Without looking at him, she said icily, “I don’t like it!”
Then she picked two pieces of clothes on the rack and headed to the changing room.
Shen Liangchuan looked at her, then at the jacket he was holding and sighed helplessly.
After a short time, he picked up his cell phone and wrote a message.
Of course, Qiao Lian knew that as a woman, she couldn’t be overly unreasonable.
But what had happened the night before was intolerable!
She was truly angry and couldn’t help these emotions. It was as though she had been totally possessed by a fiery ape and every little thing he said or did would set her off.
Qiao Lian stood in the changing room, staring at the clothes she had picked. She casually put one of the pieces on.
She was a tall girl and her skin was fair, hence, almost everything looked good on her. When she put on the white sweater, it immediately brought out her porcelain skin.
Upon walking out of the changing room, after trying on the clothes, she noticed that the attendant was looking at her with a different expression on her face.
