Chương 799: He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (23)

Qiao Lian slowed down her steps even more when she saw that he was resting.

Her movements were very light and stealthy, almost holding her breath.

Then she walked into the bathroom. He heard her shut the bathroom door and soon after, there was the sound of running water.

A shower before bed.

The room was very well sound-proofed, so the sound of her taking a shower was almost negligible.

But right now, that sound was drilling into his brain, creating an unbearable noise in his head.

Shen Liangchuan's eyes snapped open as he sat up in bed.

He felt as though there was a huge rock pushing down his chest, causing him to breathe with much difficulty.

He sat there motionless, with an almost blank look in his eyes.

The night was dragging on forever.

She had only been in the shower for 15 minutes but to him, it felt more like 15 hours.

When Qiao Lian finally stepped out of the bathroom, he sighed with relief.
