Qiao Lian wandered around the shopping malls for a while until her cell phone rang again.
Looking down, she glanced at the phone and realized it was Shen Liangchuan.
She hesitated for a while before picking up the call. However, the moment the call was connected, she was suddenly at a loss of what to say.
After approximately two seconds of silence, he asked, "Where are you?"
At that moment, his deep and pleasing voice resounded in her ears. However, she could sense a tinge of blatant coldness in it over the phone.
This feeling was not only unfamiliar, it was also miserable.
She remained silent as her lips curled up.
Shen Liangchuan continued, "Are you out?"
Only then did Qiao Lian reply with a sound affirmingly.
He finally detected that something was odd due to her silence. Hence, his tone became more gentle. "I'll go pick you up."
"It's okay." Qiao Lian said moments later, "I don't feel like going home tonight."
