Chapter 985

Chapter 985: Untitled (4)

Qiao Lian got out of the cab and walked into her neighbourhood.

This time, she felt again as though someone was following her.

She frowned and spun around. Nothing was out of order.

Still frowning, she walked towards the market, bought some vegetables and went up to her apartment.

After Qiao Lian got into the lift, Shen Liangchuan stepped out of the van.

He was wearing his sunglasses and a baseball cap. Staring at the lift’s panel, he saw that it had stopped on the sixth floor.

He furrowed his brow and went into the lift.

When he stepped out of the elevator on the sixth floor, he discovered that there were two apartments there.

He frowned again. Looking for Qiao Lian like this was like a game of probability.

He walked to one of the apartments and knocked on the door.

Then he pressed the doorbell twice. He heard Qiao Lian’s voice yell, “Who is it?!”

Shen Liangchuan’s lips curled upwards into a smile, as he ran back into the elevator in a flash. He took the elevator back downstairs.

Qiao Lian, meanwhile, was most puzzled. She found no one at the door when she came out.

She frowned and shook her head.

Retreating back into the apartment, she felt a slight headache appearing as she looked at the vegetables she had just bought.

But nevermind, it was time to eat.

She went into the kitchen.

After Shen Liangchuan left the elevator on the ground floor, he stood there thinking for a bit. He went up the building again.

Qiao Lian was staying in apartment 601, but that wasn’t where he went. Instead, he went to 602, opposite her apartment.

He rang the doorbell.

The 60-year-old lady who lived there opened the door. She obviously had bad eyesight and squinted at Shen Liangchuan, saying, “Young man, who are you? Who are you looking for?”

Respectfully, Shen Liangchuan took off his sunglasses and his mask. “Granny, my name is Shen Liangchuan. May I trouble you with something?”

Half an hour later.

Qiao Lian looked at the bowl of rather lousy noodles that she had prepared. It wasn’t the least bit appetizing.

She picked up her chopsticks and lifted a few strands of noodles. Then she placed the chopsticks back on the table.

Pregnancy always caused nausea. To begin with, she had always been a fussy eater and now…

She sighed, thinking of how she was going to manage her meals in the days ahead.

At this point, someone knocked on the door again.

She walked to the door, not speaking this time, and quickly looked through the peeping hole. Then she saw who was standing outside…

She quickly opened the door and, as she did so, a fragrant aroma wafted towards her at once.

Her eyes lit up. Looking at the old Granny standing before her, she asked, “Granny, what’s the matter?”

This old granny lived alone in the opposite apartment and these days, they had gotten to know each other.

The old granny grinned at her and said, “Young girl, I guess you haven’t had dinner? I made some noodles today, you can have them. Don’t eat junk all the time.”

At first, Qiao Lian had wanted to decline, but her gaze fell on the bowl of noodles with fresh green vegetables in the old granny’s hands.

And she started to salivate involuntarily!

The vegetables were a luscious green and alluring. There was even an egg on them, and chicken floss too. The thick soup was fragrant with sesame oil and vinegar. Oh, that aroma… it was heavenly!

Then she thought of that lousy bowl of noodles on her own dining table. It was an easy decision…

She just had to be a little shameless.

Immediately, she reached out for the bowl of noodles and grinned at the old lady. “Thank you, Granny!”

“Don’t worry about it, child. In the future, you can come and eat with granny! I’ll cook for you.”

Qiao Lian immediately nodded and volunteered, “I’ll do the groceries!”

The old granny nodded and smiled. “Good, hurry up and eat while the food’s warm.”
