Chapter 202 - 202 203 Cutting off with One Strike (5)_1
?Chapter 202: Chapter 203: Cutting off with One Strike (5)_1 Chapter 202: Chapter 203: Cutting off with One Strike (5)_1 When he had found out all about this, he had forced himself not to go home, fearing that he might accidentally lose control of his temper and get angry with her.
The night he gave her a copy of the “Stone Story,” she smiled at him. Though she dreamt about all of it that night, she had indeed developed genuine feelings for him. The next day, Nanny Lin called saying that she was in a good enough mood to go downstairs and swim… All of these signs showed that she was gradually adapting to her current environment.
Despite all the good progress, he couldn’t help but lose control of his temper in front of her, time and time again, due to small oversights.
Liang Chen secretly took a deep breath, suppressing all the discomforts at the bottom of his heart. He stretched out his hand and lightly touched Jing Haohao’s cheek, putting as much relaxation and gentleness into his tone as possible: “Haohao, I was just casually asking where you have been. Why do you look so scared?”
Liang Chen’s shifts in mood were so fast they could outpace the changing skies, and it took Jing Haohao a significant amount of time to react.
In the past, if he tried to touch her, she would instinctively avoid him. Now his hand was on her face and she didn’t dodge, instead she simply stared at his face in disbelief, blinking, and assumed she must be dreaming.
Jing Haohao then shook her head dramatically and focused her gaze on Liang Chen. After a long while, she found that his face was still wearing a soft smile, and his eyes were full of what could be called tenderness.
He didn’t question further, nor did he get angry?
Furthermore, he was even patting her face gently, assuring her that there’s nothing to be afraid of?
Perhaps due to Liang Chen being so approachable for the first time in front of her, Jing Haohao mustered enough courage to raise her hand and pinch Liang Chen’s face.
She pinched him so hard that his handsome face distorted slightly and only then did she realize she wasn’t dreaming. “So it wasn’t a dream,” she mumbled to herself, “I wonder if Liang Chen took the wrong medicine today.”
Her voice was soft, but Liang Chen, who had excellent hearing, caught every word.
It was the first time Jing Haohao had called him “Liang Chen” instead of “Mr. Liang.”
Liang Chen never knew his name could sound so lovely when spoken by her.
Ever since he found out that she had met Shen Liangnian, his mood, which had been down all day, suddenly became joyous and light-hearted.
He couldn’t resist, and laughed out loud, grinning from ear to ear as he pointed to Jing Haohao’s nose: “Haohao, why are you always so adorable? If you think you’re dreaming, you should pinch yourself, not me.”
At Liang Chen’s words, Jing Haohao’s face flushed brightly.
In the past, when she found things hard to believe, she would also pinch Shen Liangnian, and every time she heard him cry out in pain and beg for mercy, she would be persuaded.
But how did she just unconsciously do the same thing with him?
Seeing Jing Haohao’s blushing face, looking slightly sheepish, Liang Chen’s heart softened. She usually either seemed scared or cold in front of him, or was acting with extreme caution. When did he ever get to see this girlish side of her?
Liang Chen felt happier at that moment than ever before.
