?Chapter 179: Chapter 180: Mockery (3)_1 Chapter 179: Chapter 180: Mockery (3)_1 Liang Chen’s words caused Nanny Lin and the driver standing beside him to take a step back.
Then, Nanny Lin finally gathered her courage to explain, “Mr. Chen, I just…”
“Enough. I don’t have time to listen to you prattle about this today. It’s okay for Haohao to go out, as long as you accompany her. You can go ahead.” Liang Chen waved his hand and turned to Jing Haohao, “Come with me to get the car downstairs.”
…
Liang Chen took Jing Haohao to a private room in the Drunken Fairy Building, an old haunt of his. The server lifted his hand, knocked on the door; it was promptly opened by Cong Rong, who immediately directed his gaze at Jing Haohao.
Jing Haohao has dressed casually for the day, thinking she was just accompanying Nanny Lin to do some shopping. However, Cong Rong couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Jing Haohao kept her head down. He only saw half her face, yet he was already struck by her extraordinary grace and beautiful appearance.
It took a while for Cong Rong to compose himself. He stepped aside very warmly and said, “Please, come in.”
Then, he pulled out a chair for Jing Haohao himself, “Sit.”
Jing Haohao, with her head still lowered, said “Thank you,” and sat down elegantly.
Cong Rong sat next to Liang Chen, his eyes observing Jing Haohao. The more he looked at her, the more beautiful she seemed. He couldn’t help praising Liang Chen, “Well done, Chen! I certainly underestimated you. No wonder you haven’t been looking for a girlfriend in all these years. You have quite the eye; you certainly found a beauty when you decided to look!”
“Now I understand why you kept this relationship a secret. You were shielding your beauty from the world! But if I could find someone this beautiful, I’d gladly move into my marital grave, even without my parents’ nagging. I too would protect a beauty in a golden house!”
Cong Rong was in the middle of his rambling when he suddenly paused. He looked at Jing Haohao again, furrowed his brow and said, “Why do I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before? Have we met?”
Jing Haohao suddenly became nervous. She knew she had seen Cong Rong several months ago. Her memory may have failed her briefly, but she feared Cong Rong would recognize her after some time.
Cong Rong studied Jing Haohao closely, then raised his head and looked at Liang Chen, “I’m sure I’m not wrong, I’ve definitely seen her before. Did you bring her out to meet me once before?”
“But it can’t be, my memory is not that poor. I wonder if my recent wild behaviors have damaged my memory?”
At Cong Rong’s words, Liang Chen chuckled, pointed at Jing Haohao and introduced her, “I’d like to introduce you, her name is Jing Haohao.”
Jing Haohao?
Upon hearing this name, Cong Rong froze for a moment. Something seemed off to him. He turned the thought over in his mind for a while, before suddenly realizing, “Oh…Now I understand why she looked familiar. I remember now, Liangnian…”
Just as he reached this point, Cong Rong abruptly stopped talking. The excitement he had shown on learning that Liang Chen now had a girlfriend slowly faded from his face, replaced by a grave expression.
How had he not noticed it before?
No wonder Shen Liangnian hadn’t come for this meal. It turned out… Shen Liangnian already knew this was his girlfriend!
