CHAPTER 136: CHAPTER 138 [138] LIANG SHAOCHEN MISSING 3

Thinking about this, a touch of happiness flashed across Xia Xiaonuan’s face.

But suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Right, the church!

"Driver, go to the church!"

"Miss... there are seven or eight churches here, which one do you want to go to?"

"Go... go to the one closest to the outskirts! The one with the simplest conditions!"

The taxi driver turned back, casting a somewhat contemptuous glance at Xia Xiaonuan.

"That’s very far, it might take a two-hour drive!"

"It’s okay, just go there!" Xia Xiaonuan said firmly.

...

When the car stopped at the door of the somewhat old church, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening.

Xia Xiaonuan paid the fare and got out of the car, seeing that the lights at the church entrance were still on.

Around the church, piles of weeds surrounded it, and in the distance, there was darkness everywhere.

Here, only this church seemed somewhat gloomy.

Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

Ultimately, she mustered her courage, stepped forward, and under the lights, pushed open the church door with a "creak".

This was a church less than a hundred square meters.

Inside, a single lamp was lit, and the cross at the front appeared particularly solemn and sacred.

Xia Xiaonuan’s heart was pounding fiercely.

When her gaze fell on the tall and slender figure standing under the cross, she felt all the blood drain from her body.

"Didn’t expect anyone to come here at such a late hour." Liang Shaochen’s voice was hoarse beyond belief.

Xia Xiaonuan felt her heart ache so much that she couldn’t breathe for a moment.

Liang Shaochen looked up, and only then did she notice that he was holding a bottle of wine.

He tilted his head back, pouring the liquor down his throat.

Xia Xiaonuan’s heart trembled.

After a moment, Liang Shaochen slowly turned around.

His deep, somber gaze gradually fell upon Xia Xiaonuan.

Seeing her, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze slightly fluctuated.

But soon, the light faded away like a mirage.

"Is it you?" His hoarse voice carried an obvious disbelief.

"It’s me." Xia Xiaonuan nodded, trying hard to stay composed.

Liang Shaochen smiled at her.

Then he turned around, continued drinking, but his body slowly collapsed.

Xia Xiaonuan quickly went forward to support him.

The two fell to the ground together.

"Don’t worry about me." Liang Shaochen, already drunk, pushed Xia Xiaonuan away, half knelt on the ground, and continued drinking.

"Stop drinking!" Xia Xiaonuan tried to snatch his bottle, but was pushed heavily aside.

She fell to the ground.

She climbed up, her vision swirling, and saw several empty bottles on the ground.

Looking at the broken man before her, thinking of his disappointment, sadness, and despair, all because of her.

A feeling of unprecedented happiness filled her heart.

However, soon, that happiness was replaced by more pain.

She wanted to rush up and tell him, Qiqi is not dead, I am the Qiqi you’ve been looking for!

But she knew she couldn’t say it.

There were too many stakes involved, she couldn’t act impulsively.

She couldn’t hurt Liang Shaochen because of her feelings.

Besides, even she wasn’t sure if Liang Shaochen would really believe her.

In her current state, she didn’t know how to face him.

As a married woman, would Liang Shaochen still care about her as he once did?

Would he be disappointed?

Thousands of words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back down.
