?Chapter 168: Chapter 169: Confrontation (4)_1 Chapter 168: Chapter 169: Confrontation (4)_1 Just as straightforward as his tone!
Spare Haohao…
This time, Liang Chen made no attempt to disguise his feelings. His expression darkened as he stared at Shen Liangnian. He put his coffee cup down on the table and uttered coldly, “Liangnian, since you’re so straightforward, let me be forthright with you as well. Sparring Jing Haohao is absolutely impossible!”
Shen Liangnian’s body tightened instantly, “Chen, you know that Haohao is my girlfriend, the woman I want to marry. I can’t live without her. Whatever you ask of me, I’m willing to give, except for Haohao. That’s unacceptable.”
Heh…such deeply romantic words!
Liang Chen sneered, paused for a moment before continuing: “Liangnian, are you joking now? Whatever I ask of you, you’re willing to give. So, what should I ask from you… We’re both grown men. I, Liang Chen, seek neither wealth nor power. Even if I did, you couldn’t provide what I sought. Are you suggesting that I desire your body?”
“But it’s not the same with Haohao. After all, she’s a woman – lithe and gentle, with tender skin. She’s rather satisfying to sleep with!”
Upon hearing the last statement, Shen Liangnian’s face turned ashen.
The woman whom he had known for ten years, held dear for six, and loved for four – someone he had never dared to touch – was now another man’s woman!
Liang Chen, observing Shen Liangnian’s discomposed look, felt slightly better. With a lukewarm smile that touched his lips, he continued, “Liangnian, you’ve been with Haohao for all these years, but you never laid a finger on her. I think perhaps deep down inside, she doesn’t like you. Otherwise, why would she have slept with me on our first encounter?”
Indeed, he was speaking the truth, but he concealed crucial details.
The first time he met Jing Haohao, she had been drugged. She couldn’t resist even if she wanted to.
Yet, he chose to tell it his way.
The memory of Jing Haohao yelling at him the previous night, saying that she couldn’t live without the man in front of him now, made him seethe.
Now, the man before him was telling him the same thing—he couldn’t live without Jing Haohao!
When it came to friendships, he didn’t care about a person’s background or origins. Otherwise, how could he have become friends with an orphan who started from scratch like Shen Liangnian.
If not for his friendship with Shen Liangnian over the years, his company would not have grown as it has. Everyone in Jiangshan City gave him, Liang Chen, a certain amount of respect and, by extension, Shen Liangnian shared this esteem.
Unfortunately, this Shen Liangnian, who was profiting from a woman’s money and his friendship, was the man whom the woman at home was desperately in love with!
He had Jing Haohao, but the way she treated him and Shen Liangnian was entirely different. She would either be wary of him, avoid him, or simply despise him.
This man, inferior to him in every aspect, had inexplicably defeated him.
He was uncertain whether he was trying to save his own face or to taunt Shen Liangnian.
“Moreover, she’s willingly with me now.”
They slept together on their first meeting?
Jing Haohao willingly chose to be with Liang Chen?
