?Chapter 183: Chapter 184: Mockery (7)_1 Chapter 183: Chapter 184: Mockery (7)_1 Qiao Wennuan was so ashamed by her words that he didn’t even dare to look at her, quickly nodding and turning away as if trying to flee.
Upon returning to the tent, Jing Haohao waited for Shen Liangnian to sober up, then proceeded to complain to him for quite a while.
Hearing the whole story, Shen Liangnian chuckled and pulled her into his arms, saying, “Haohao, this just proves that you have good taste.”
Jing Haohao had already cooled down, but she still felt a bit uneasy. “Liangnian, would you ever run off with another woman someday?” she asked.
“No.” Shen Liangnian stated without any hesitation, holding her tightly against him as if trying to merge her into his very bones and blood, declaring, “Haohao, I, Shen Liangnian, swear on my life that if I ever fail you, I will be punished by Heaven.”
That night, under the brilliant stars on the remote film set, Shen Liangnian gaze into her eyes, filled with solemn seriousness.
His voice, charming and deep, carried an enchanting force that etched each word deep into the heart of Jing Haohao.
Even now, Jing Haohao could vividly recall the earnest look on Shen Liangnian’s face the night he made that vow to her.
Meanwhile, Cong Rong was still rambling on, “Actually, I think Shen Liangnian and Qiao Wennuan make quite a good match. They look quite like a couple when they’re together… If Shen Liangnian were to marry Qiao Wennuan, I’d definitely bring a big wedding gift.”
At this point, Jing Haohao could not sit still any longer.
She knew, in her current situation, she had no right to expect Shen Liangnian to remain chaste for her, to faithfully wait for her. But she also couldn’t bear to hear how well he got along with other women, how well-matched they were.
Jing Haohao, trembling, put down her chopsticks and stood up, saying, “I’m full, I’ll go wait downstairs.”
Liang Chen glanced at Jing Haohao’s untouched meal and her plate without a speck of grease or food on it, and, in a low but firm voice, said, “Sit down, eat your meal!”
Jing Haohao stood there, unmoving, “I really am full.”
“I said sit down!” Liang Chen’s voice involuntarily grew louder.
There were things he didn’t want to tell Jing Haohao, like the fact that Shen Liangnian had been sneaking around with Qiao Wennuan for two years now.
In the past, he’d always done as he pleased without considering others’ feelings.
But now, seeing that Jing Haohao knew about it, he nearly blurted out the truth during their arguments – to provoke Jing Haohao – but in the end, he always swallowed those words back.
That secret became his alone, shared only with those involved.
He always wondered, if Jing Haohao, who loved Shen Liangnian so much, found out that the man she loved had already betrayed her, would she go crazy?
He knew that some dreams had to be shattered eventually.
But each time he thought of Jing Haohao crumbling into tears when that dream shattered, he couldn’t bear to tell her the truth.
So, when Cong Rong brought up how close Shen Liangnian and Qiao Wennuan were getting, he wanted to gauge Jing Haohao’s reaction.
However, he didn’t expect that Cong Rong merely mentioning how close Shen Liangnian and Qiao Wennuan were would already be more than Jing Haohao could bear!
To the extent that, because of that man, she couldn’t even take a single bite of her food!
Liang Chen didn’t understand why he was feeling so inexplicably irritable whenever Jing Haohao showed concern for issues regarding Shen Liangnian!
