Chapter 233 - 233 234 Domineering Leave Request (4)_1
?Chapter 233: Chapter 234: Domineering Leave Request (4)_1 Chapter 233: Chapter 234: Domineering Leave Request (4)_1 The moon gradually rose, casting its tranquil light on the winding road back to the city, its clear brilliance like water.
The view in the suburban area was excellent. Through the car window, Shen Liangnian could see the full moon directly ahead.
As time went by, it was the fifteenth of yet another lunar month, a day commonly known for its association with reunion or separation. Is tonight’s moon for him and Jing Haohao?
However, he could distinctively sense that their present connection was far from what it once was.
The Jing Haohao of the past would cheerfully enter his car, sit by his side, chattering non-stop, even asking him to buy her favourite snacks when she was hungry, and would share funny stories that happened on the set.
However, the Jing Haohao of now was so silent. From the moment she got into the car to now, she had not only not spoken a word but was leaning against the car window as if trying to put as much distance between them as possible with all her might.
Through the rearview mirror, Shen Liangnian could see Jing Haohao staring at the cup of milk tea, her eyes lowered.
The milk tea had cooled considerably, losing lots of its warmth and probably didn’t taste good anymore.
Finally, Shen Liangnian couldn’t help but ask: “Haohao, why aren’t you drinking?”
Jing Haohao lifted her head, merely cast a glance at him, and turned her head away hastily.
He clearly saw the redness in her eyes, like she was about to cry.
Shen Liangnian felt his heart being torn apart, aching terribly. He instinctively reached out to touch Jing Haohao’s head, but lowered his hand just as he lifted it. Staring ahead, he said after a moment: “Haohao, I can tell you’re very upset.”
Ever since Jing Haohao moved into Liang Chen’s villa, she hadn’t seen Shen Liangnian alone.
This was the first time.
Without Liang Chen, without Qiao Wennuan, without any outsiders.
She had always thought that he would confront her angrily, just like the day he came to Liang Chen’s villa to find her. However, she didn’t expect that he would not only not be angry, but talk to her like this instead.
These days, she felt that she had almost gotten used to days without Shen Liangnian. For a moment, Jing Haohao felt like crying, but just as she was about to, she forced a smile and said, “I’m not upset.”
“Haohao, you can’t fool me.”
The mere utterance of these words made Jing Haohao feel a ticklish sensation on her face. Instinctively, she raised her hand to wipe off the tear rolling down her cheek.
However, the tears dropped like an endless torrent, pouring down even more fiercely.
Shen Liangnian tightly gripped the steering wheel, his lips pressed tightly together, and said nothing more.
…
The driver, not receiving a call from Jing Haohao in the afternoon, headed to the set according to the usual wrap-up time, only to be informed that the crew had gone to the suburbs to film.
The driver patiently waited for Jing Haohao’s call, but by half past nine in the evening, he still hadn’t received her call. He then dialed Nanny Lin’s number, wanting to know if Jing Haohao had arrived home.
Hearing that Jing Haohao hadn’t been picked up so late, Nanny Lin immediately called Jing Haohao, but after dialing for a while without getting through, she decided to call Liang Chen.
Liang Chen was about to go home when the call arrived, so as he picked up his coat, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Chen, Miss Jing still hasn’t come back.”
