?Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Meeting (5)_1 Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Meeting (5)_1 It took a while before he finally let her go. He looked at Jing Haohao, who was gasping for breath, with a slightly heavy gaze. Seeing the woman’s face was slightly red and free from the restraint and unease that had accompanied their earlier conversation, his mood improved a bit. He gently tucked her disheveled hair that was mussed from their kiss behind her ear and said softly, “Haohao, whatever you want to do, just tell me directly. You don’t have to be so coy or scared, I will certainly let you do it.”
…
Even though Jing Haohao told Liang Chen that she didn’t need any gowns, on the day of the Fang Lu’s new movie’s release party, he still had several dresses delivered to her, complete with matching jewelry and shoes.
In the afternoon, Nanny Lin called and got a makeup artist.
By the time Jing Haohao was all ready, it was already seven o’clock in the evening. The driver that Liang Chen had arranged for the night before arrived at the villa’s front door driving a taxi, as agreed upon.
This was her first time going out alone in nearly two months.
Even though she was aware she would have to return to this expensive gilded cage at night.
But, a brief taste of freedom made her cast off the melancholy and wariness she usually carried around in the villa.
Jing Haohao understood that the reason Fang Lu invited her to attend the release party tonight was to increase her exposure, and incidentally, her popularity.
After all, she hadn’t appeared in any decent movies in quite some time. The entertainment industry was a cutthroat place, filled with countless people eager to supplant others. In such a place, one could only advance or be left behind.
Even though she was currently living in Liang Chen’s villa, with no worries about food or clothes, living a luxurious lifestyle every day, she was clear at heart that the day Liang Chen lost interest in her, all those so-called luxurious living would have nothing to do with her.
As a result, she naturally would not decline Fang Lu’s kindness.
Just as she once evaded Liang Chen to protect herself, she still had to preserve herself now and stabilize her career, which, in the eyes of A-list celebrities, might not amount to much.
Jing Haohao, having only played the role of a maid, would not be the highlight of tonight’s release party.
She was merely standing beside the main actors, facing the media’s photoflash, and making an appearance.
…
Because Jing Haohao was not at home tonight, Liang Chen was not in a hurry to return to the villa. There also happened to be an urgent meeting in the company that lasted until half-past nine. Coming out of the meeting room, he saw his secretary approaching with a parcel: “Mr. Liang, this is a courier that we just received for you.”
Liang Chen glanced at the package with confusion, nodded to his secretary to put it on his office desk, and then turned around and continued to instruct his assistant on some tasks.
