As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became solemn instantly.

Qiao Lian wanted to slap herself in the face.

Everything had been fine. Why did she have to mention this?

She thought of what Xia Yehua had said. According to her, Shen Liangchuan’s first love had betrayed him and left him. So… he must hate anyone bringing her up!

Lowering her head, she tried to change the topic hurriedly, “Er, actually, I—”

“She was a very cheerful girl.”

His passing words caught her off guard, as she lifted her head in astonishment.

Was he actually willing to talk about his first love with her?

His gaze was very profound; no one could tell the complicated emotions in his eyes. However, anyone could tell his seriousness at that moment.

Stunned, she did not say anything and fixated her gaze on him. “Do you love her very much?”

Love her very much?

Shen Liangchuan slowly lowered his head. He seemed to have something to say, but still kept silent in the end.

He stood up. “You should sleep soon.”

As he finished his words, he walked out of the master bedroom.

Qiao Lian continued to look at his back. It could be because of the lighting, but she felt that he looked lonelier than ever right now.

She only realized that it had been rather foolish of her to ask about his first love after the room door closed and she averted her gaze.

Hitting her own head, she continued lying on the bed.

She did not know why, but the complex look on his face when he had talked about his first love constantly flashed across her mind.

She did not understand his heart, but she understood one thing.

He loved his first love very much.

As she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

An hour later, the room door opened and Shen Liangchuan walked in.

Borrowing the dim light from the bedside, he stared at the girl on the bed.

Did he love his first love very much?

This was a question he could not answer.

His relationship from eight years ago was something he could not let go of.

Reaching out his hand slowly, he stroked her head and only lay down then.

The next day, Qiao Lian took a cab to the news agency. She thought she would be interrogated by Su Meimei about her being together with Fan Jie yesterday as soon as she walked in. However, to her surprise, Su Meimei did not say anything when she stepped into the news agency. She only rolled her eyes and took off to the managing editor’s office.

She was extremely glad that Su Meimei was not causing her any trouble.

After she passed the guest list of yesterday’s party to the chief editor, her job was done.

Just when she had walked to her seat and settled down, Xiao Ye came to announce, “Big news!”

Xiao Ye had always been a gossipmonger. There was nothing she did not know of in the news agency. When Qiao Lian heard her, she pricked up her ears to listen. “What?”

“Do you still remember that the former managing editor had mentioned in the past that he was going to set up Team Two in our news agency?”

Qiao Lian nodded. “I remember. But the managing editor has left, so the plan won’t carry on, would it?”

At that time, she had wanted to transfer to another team to avoid chief editor and Su Meimei’s ill treatment.

Xiao Ye said smilingly, “There’s hope now! The former chief editor has not forgotten about us, even though he is in the headquarters now. Look, the plan to set up Team Two has been passed down. Moreover, the best employee among us will be chosen to become the chief editor!”

I see!

Qiao Lian’s eyes instantly lit up. “So what are the candidates for chief editor of Team Two supposed to do?”

Xiao Ye lowered her voice, “This is why Su Meimei is trying to dig up some big piece of news with all her might!”

Big piece of news?

This kind of things could only be found by chance, not by searching!

Qiao Lian shook her head faintly.

Xiao Ye continued, “Currently, the biggest scoop is Fan Jie!”

Fan Jie?

Qiao Lian’s eyes twinkled all of a sudden.
