"I know, but I still have to apologize. I shouldn't have doubted your sincerity." She now understood that Sheng Liang was still willing to do all this for her, simply because she still had a little value in being useful, but compared to the safety of her family, it was nothing at all. As long as Sheng Liang went back on his words, she would be the one to suffer.

Sheng Liang still did not raise his head, but casually said: "It's good that you know it."

As if he had nothing else to say, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Qiao Xuan thought for a moment and asked: "I'll be going to work tomorrow, do you have anything to say?"

"No, just do it yourself." Sheng Liang's gaze did not leave the computer, and the words that came out sounded like nothing.

With nothing else to say, Qiao Xuan tactfully said: "Go ahead, I'm going out."

When Qiao Xuan went back to his room to pack his luggage, she saw the painting that was drenched in water, but she still managed to find it. Although the paint had already been used beyond recognition, it could still be considered a gift from Sheng Liang.

She carefully unfolded it and looked at it, then slowly put it away again and placed it at the back of the bookshelf.

The next morning, Qiao Xuan woke up early to prepare breakfast. In the past, when Sheng Liang was alone, she usually went to the company to eat. When she came, she stored some things in the refrigerator, but she was not at home during these few days.

When Sheng Liang ate, she was always extremely elegant, and Qiao Xuan always unconsciously drew her gaze. Seeing Sheng Liang raise his head, she hurriedly turned her head away.

Sheng Liang wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up to look at Qiao Xuan: "Do you want to come with me?"

"Yes." The atmosphere was unavoidably awkward, but Qiao Xuan did not want to show off. This was a villa complex, where he could not get a taxi.

Moreover, no matter what they did in private, in front of others, they still had to pretend to be intimate with each other.

When they arrived at the company's car park, Sheng Liang had just parked his car and the two of them were just about to get in, Sheng Hua walked over and looked at Sheng Liang with a gentle smile on his face: "I just got back yesterday, don't you need to rest for two days before going to work? You're not well, you don't need to work so hard."

Qiao Xuan's heart tightened. Was Sheng Hua trying to test him on purpose, or had he already confirmed something?

However, Sheng Liang just lightly said, "Just a little cold, I've been well for a long time, thank you brother for your concern."

"That's good." Sheng Hua laughed, his gaze turned to Qiao Xuan as he asked while looking at her arm, "Qiao Qiao, what happened to your hand?"

Qiao Xuan did not believe that he did not arrange those people. She looked at Sheng Liang and saw that his eyes were slightly heavy, so she could only bear with it and said: "It's nothing, I accidentally bumped into him."

"Then pay attention. If you can't take it, remember to tell them."

Sheng Hua's fake face that was filled with righteousness really made Qiao Xuan feel cold. She interrupted him and said, "If there's nothing else, we'll be going up first."

"Wait," Sheng Hua immediately called out, "I really do have something to talk to you about, the last time you crossed paths with Little Zhou, there were some issues with the reports, later you can come to my office, we can discuss on what to do."

Using such a high profile reason, even Sheng Liang would not be able to reject it. Qiao Xuan could only nod his head: "I understand."

Qiao Xuan originally thought that Sheng Hua definitely wanted her to leave again, or something like that.
