?Chapter 222: Chapter 223: Kiss in Desperation (2)_1 Chapter 222: Chapter 223: Kiss in Desperation (2)_1 “Don’t even get me started. I don’t know what on earth I was thinking, bringing home this girl. Treating her like a cherished idol each and every day, she hasn’t even let me catch my breath, driving me crazy.” As Liang Chen said this, he was completely oblivious to the fact that his eyes were not filled with annoyance, but rather, a certain gleam of enjoyment.
It seemed that everyone could sense Liang Chen’s good mood and started laughing along.
“Mr. Liang, you really do know how to talk tough! You probably can’t contain your inner joy.”
“Even heroes have a hard time resisting the beauty of a woman. Who would have thought that one day Mr. Liang, too, would fall head over heels for a woman…”
Jing Haohao paid no attention to their chatter, only pouting on the side, continually watching Liang Chen, thinking about ways to get him to retract his recent decision.
Having been with Liang Chen for so long, she knew that once he made a decision, he wouldn’t change it for anyone.
Jing Haohao was inwardly anxious, her eyes darting around for a while, then suddenly recalling Nanny Lin’s advice that Liang Chen prefers tenderness over confrontations. If she was sweet and cuddly, he would surely comply with her every whim…
When she heard this, she had initially disagreed. Jing Haohao never harboured any hopes that Liang Chen would provably be at her beck and call. In his eyes, she was probably just a whim-driven, clumsily acquired toy.
However, since Nanny Lin had known Liang Chen for a long time… perhaps there was some truth to her words.
Presently, it was a dire situation. If she continued to ponder, this bar would undoubtedly be torn down by Liang Chen.
Without further ado, Jing Haohao stepped towards Liang Chen once again.
Liang Chen sensed Jing Haohao coming closer. He turned his head to glance at her, knowing in an instant that it had to do with the bar. As a result, his gaze darkened.
In the past, seeing his look would have made Jing Haohao distance herself but now, she took a deep breath and bravely moved next to Liang Chen. Gritting her teeth, she reached out and wrapped her hand around his arm.
Liang Chen’s brow furrowed as he looked down at Jing Haohao’s small hand gripping his arm.
Though Jing Haohao often playfully teased Shen Liangnian, now when it mattered the most, she faltered.
Jing Haohao tried to suppress her nerves and calmed herself down. Then, in the same flirty tone she would use while acting, she said, “Darling…”
Just three words had caught Liang Chen off guard. He instantly knew that this smart woman, Jing Haohao, was putting on an act for his sake.
If he hadn’t been with her for so long, and knew her head was filled with clever plots, he might have fallen for her sweet words.
Liang Chen tried to pull his hand away, but Jing Haohao held on even tighter.
Liang Chen frowned and said, “Haohao, let go.”
Jing Haohao showed no intention of letting go. Instead, she tightened her grip and called out, “Darling.”
“Great, she’s getting into character…” Liang Chen reached out to pry off Jing Haohao’s hand, but found that she was surprisingly strong. Worried that he might hurt her tender fingers, he shot her a fierce look and said, “Let go, or I’ll hit you!”
