Surprised, Qiao Lian called out, “Mom, why are you back at this time?”
Lately, Xia Yehua had been at the hospital watching over Song Yuanxi day and night. She was afraid that the girl would be lonely.
Qiao Lian sensed that something was amiss.
As she tried to understand this, Xia Yehua replied, “Yes, Liangchuan went to the hospital, so I’m back for the afternoon to rest. I’ll go back again this evening.”
Qiao Lian froze when she heard this.
Shen Liangchuan had said that he had something important to attend to. So this important matter was… going to the hospital to visit Song Yuanxi?
Suddenly her heart sank and she felt a tinge of jealousy.
She bit her lip and tried to suppress the growing sense of discomfort welling up inside.
No matter what, Song Yuanxi was his sister, so it was understandable that he was worried and went to see her.
As this thought ran through her mind, Xia Yehua held her hand when they walked into the apartment. “Sigh, these children. They have secrets. In the past, no matter how busy they were on this particular day of the year, they would disappear all day. I thought that this year would be different, since Yuanxi is injured and can’t walk around. But I was surprised Liangchuan turned up… who knows what they are up to. Xiao Qiao, did Liangchuan tell you anything about it?”
It was just an innocent remark, but upon hearing this, Qiao Lian was suddenly feeling all sorts of emotions.
Shen Liangchuan and Song Yuanxi shared a secret… It couldn’t be anything but his first love.
Even though his first love had died, she was still very much alive in their lives and made frequent appearances.
She hung her head. Masking her emotions with a smile, she comforted Xia Yehua, “I don’t know anything about it, but don’t you worry, Mom. Since they do this every year, it just means it’s normal and there isn’t a problem.”
Xia Yehua could only nod.
Having to spend time in the hospital accompanying Song Yuanxi was nothing like resting at home, even though Song Yuanxi was staying in a VIP ward.
Xia Yehua was quite exhausted and after speaking with Qiao Lian for a little while, she retired to her bedroom upstairs for an afternoon nap.
Qiao Lian now sat alone in the living room, taking in the surroundings of the house.
There were four of them living in this house.
Xia Yehua was returning to the hospital to accompany Song Yuanxi in the evening.
Shen Liangchuan was now in the hospital accompanying Song Yuanxi.
And the joy she was supposed to be feeling from leaving the news agency, there was no one to share it with.
At that moment, she suddenly felt alone and lonely.
When this sort of feelings. .h.i.t, it was hard to drive them away.
She leaned back into the sofa and casually turned on the TV.
Then, her gaze fell on that room on the third floor.
Last time she had tried to sneak in and take a look, Auntie Li had foiled it.
After that attempt, Auntie Li had been alert and probably watching her closely.
But the more out of bounds it was, the more curious she got. What sort of girl was Shen Liangchuan’s first love?
On this note, she sighed deeply.
She tried hard to distract herself by focusing on the TV program. But after flicking through a few channels, she found no interest in any of the shows.
She picked up her cell phone. After a brief search, she found the entertainment program that used to be her favourite show.
However, after watching the beginning part of the show, she lost the patience to continue.
Tossing the cell phone aside, she lay on the sofa and stared at the ceiling.
She did this until she lost track of time. Then suddenly, her cell phone rang.
Surprised, she turned to look at the caller id. It was Song Yuanxi.
Qiao Lian frowned, like she had suddenly remembered something. The moment she picked up the call, Song Yuanxi’s voice came from the other end of the line, “Qiao Lian, do you want to know where Brother Liangchuan and I are?”
Qiao Lian’s fingers tightened around the phone. “Where?”
Song Yuanxi deliberately said, “Today is my sister’s death anniversary.”
