Qiao Lian dashed into the washroom with a strong urge to throw up, but nothing came out.

As she leaned weakly against the wall, she heard Shen Liangchuan asking behind her, “What’s the matter?”

She straightened herself up at once. Frowning, she turned back to look at him.

He had a worried expression on his face and, as she looked at him, she lost grip.

He took a step towards her, his eyes deep and dark, looking as though they were guessing something. She frowned and quickly said, “Oh, it must have been something I ate this morning.”

He looked at her steadily.

Then he said, “Oh.”

He hadn’t even thought of the possibility of pregnancy.

Firstly, because he had made her take birth control medication and this had lowered the chances of pregnancy for the next six months.

Secondly, they had initially gotten married for having a child… Now that they were divorced, how could there be any possibility of a child?

Besides, Qiao Lian looked perfectly normal, there were no signs of discomfort or being sick.

At this point, the person who had been knocking on the door walked in.

The crew worker smiled upon seeing Shen Liangchuan. He said, “The new makeup artist is here! Shall we start doing your makeup?”

Shen Liangchuan glanced at Qiao Lian and suddenly said, “I just remembered I have an urgent matter at hand.”

The crew worker was stunned.

He looked at Shen Liangchuan in a daze as a million curses ran through his mind.

Best Actor Shen was a well-known consummate professional! And famed for his foul temper!

But what was wrong with him today?

Shen Liangchuan stood there, looking like everything was perfectly normal. The crew worker was rendered completely speechless.

Shen Liangchuan said, “We’ll delay the filming one day. Let’s film tomorrow.”

The crew worker started, “But the shooting schedule—”

“You don’t have to worry about the shooting schedule.” Shen Liangchuan looked at Song Cheng and said, “I’m the one with matters to attend to, but I will allocate a month to film this.”

This situation was nerve-wracking for the employee.

All famous celebrities like Shen Liangchuan were hired for certain time periods.

Hence in the industry, they did have some strange practices. For example, one would not see the male or female leads throughout the filming, since these celebrities would film their segments later and these would be put together with the rest of scenes further ahead. Or some of them would at first even use doubles and then charge by the hour, after they stepped in.

So the fact that Shen Liangchuan had casually said that he would extend the filming schedule for a month was completely to the advantage of Lot Gaming Company.

The crew worker immediately said without thinking twice, “Sure, please feel free to go then. We are in no great hurry to film in this case.”

Shen Liangchuan nodded and glanced at Qiao Lian. “Ms. Qiao, would you like to leave with us?”

She immediately shook her hand from side to side saying, “No, it’s ok. It’s ok.”

He nodded again. He took a lingering look at her before he turned and walked away.

It was only after Shen Liangchuan had left the powder room that Qiao Lian gradually recovered from the whole episode and went out of her dazed state.

Could Shen Liangchuan have delayed the filming because he thought she was feeling unwell and wanted to let her rest?

As much as she understood him, he would never have something urgent come up in the middle of a shooting.

His professionalism was well-known in the circle.

A wave of warm and fuzzy feelings welled up in her, as she hung her head and walked back to the changing room. Then she changed and left.

She parted ways with the junior assistant at the entrance of the filming studio, flagged down a taxi and returned home.

What she hadn’t noticed on the way home was that a black van was trailing her taxi.
