?Chapter 197: Chapter 198: Qiao Wennuan’s Plea for Help (5)_1 Chapter 197: Chapter 198: Qiao Wennuan’s Plea for Help (5)_1 “Could you please go downstairs and buy me a razor?”
Qiao Wennuan was staring at Jing Haohao holding Shen Liangnian’s hand, finding it irritating. Upon hearing Jing Haohao’s words, she pursed her lips and turned to leave after a moment.
…
This was the second time Liang Chen had experienced the nerve-wracking, unbearable feeling of time dragging on.
The first time was when he was waiting for Jing Haohao to visit him at his villa.
The second time was now.
Although it was only an hour, he felt a deep unease in his heart, like countless ants crawling around inside of him.
Just as Liang Chen angrily kicked his chair away, his assistant finally called.
“Mr. Liang, Qiao Wennuan’s car is now parked at the People’s Hospital.”
“People’s Hospital?” Liang Chen was more confused now: “What is she doing at the hospital? Is Jing Haohao sick?”
No, if Jing Haohao were sick, the people in the villa would have discovered it first.
Liang Chen thought to himself that he must have been so upset as to blurt out such a thoughtless question. He took a deep breath to clear his mind and commanded, “Check what Qiao Wennuan is doing in the hospital!”
…
When Qiao Wennuan returned with the razor, Jing Haohao started shaving Shen Liangnian’s beard.
She shaved carefully, with great delicacy.
Her thoughts, however, gradually traced back to the past.
Two years ago, on Christmas, she flew overnight from Hengdian after finishing filming to give Shen Liangnian a surprise in Jiangshan City.
It so happened that a heavy snow blanketed Jiangshan City that day. The weather was cold, and taxis were scarce. Jing Haohao grabbed a gift for Shen Liangnian from a random shop.
It was a razor.
Shen Liangnian’s birthday gift for her was a costly coat worth tens of thousands. So when Jing Haohao presented the razor, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
Shen Liangnian, delighted with the razor, rubbed it against his face, yet complained with a smirk, “Haohao, your gift is too plain.”
Jing Haohao pouted, retorting, “Liangnian, what do you know? The meaning behind this gift is that I want to shave your beard for the rest of my life!”
Only when she expressed those words did she realize the sweetness they carried, causing her face to turn beet red instantly.
Shen Liangnian, happy, reached out his hand and pulled her into his arms, held her tightly, and said, “Haohao, since you want my life, I will give you mine.”
Thinking of these moments now, they felt as vivid as if they happened just yesterday.
However, to Jing Haohao, they seemed more like a beautiful dream.
After she finished shaving Shen Liangnian’s beard, taking a towel, she gently wiped his face clean. With a somewhat hoarse voice, she turned to Qiao Wennuan standing behind her and said, “He likes to stay tidy. He values his face the most and enjoys looking at himself in the mirror. So, you must shave his beard and wash his face daily. This way, when he wakes up and sees himself just as handsome as usual, he will be delighted.”
Qiao Wennuan, standing behind her, remained silent.
“For his stomach bleeding, he can’t have any spicy food. He has always had a stomach problem. This was a problem he developed years ago while working day and night for the new company. He likes the porridge from a shop in the southern part of the city. In the past, whenever I was busy on set and couldn’t buy it myself, I would make a phone call to get it delivered to him…”
