790 He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (14)

Qiao Lian looked at him intently.

A sense of sorrow hung heavily between them.

Qiao Lian suddenly felt helpless.

Shen Liangchuan stood there, towering before her, as though he was the one who could shield her from the winds and storms.

But right now, she felt like something was getting in between them. She felt like she could not get through that barrier, unable to enter his heart completely.

Disappointed, she nodded.

She walked to the door and looked back, asking, "Your dinner…"

"I'll order some takeaway meal."

She nodded again.

Qiao Lian took another look at him and said, "Rest early tonight."

"Okay."

Without another word after this, she turned and left the office.

The room instantly became silent.

The entire floor was empty except for his office. It glowed with the weak light of his lamp.

He felt exhausted as he sat down on the chair. His gaze fell on the computer screen.
