?Chapter 242: Chapter 243: Text Message (2)_1 Chapter 242: Chapter 243: Text Message (2)_1 At that time, Jing Haohao had just finished filming the drama and was removing her makeup.
Her cell phone rang and she paused for a moment before picking it up, and then saw a text.
The text was not long, but Jing Haohao spent quite a while reading it.
It wasn’t until her makeup artist called her name twice that Jing Haohao snapped back, realizing that she had removed her makeup. She absent-mindedly thanked the makeup artist, then hurriedly left with her phone, finding a quiet place to examine the text message several times carefully. Finally, she deleted the message with a gentle swipe of her hand.
…
At the same time as Jing Haohao received the message, Liang Chen was in his office in a meeting. Suddenly, his assistant rushed into the room, leaned in close, and whispered something in his ear.
Liang Chen didn’t say anything, he just stood up, didn’t even glance at the astonished executives present in the room, and walked straight out of the meeting room. Upon settling in his own office again, he immediately asked his assistant, “Is the news confirmed?”
“Yes.”
The room went silent for a moment. After a short while, the assistant spoke up, “Mr. Liang, what would you like me to do?”
Liang Chen blinked, his gaze falling on his assistant, he furrowed his brows before waving his hand and stating, “No, don’t do anything, act as if we didn’t know anything.”
“Yes, Mr. Liang. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
After the assistant finished speaking, he waited for a second, saw Liang Chen didn’t respond, was preparing to turn to leave when suddenly, Liang Chen said, “Wait.”
The assistant turned back around.
Liang Chen picked up a pen from his office desk and scribbled a string of numbers onto a piece of paper. He handed the paper to his assistant and said, “Send everything you know to this number.”
…
On December 23rd, Jing Haohao returned from filming quite early, just after 4 PM. Nanny Lin had already begun instructing servants to prepare dinner.
Upon seeing Jing Haohao, Nanny Lin greeted her with a smile, “Miss Jing, you’re back early today.”
“Yes, I only had one scene today.” Jing Haohao smiled gently. As she was about to head upstairs, she remembered the text message and calculated the dates in her mind – it was tomorrow. She paused then asked, “Nanny Lin, is Mr. Chen coming home for dinner tonight?”
“Mr. Chen?” Nanny Lin shook her head and said, “Let me call and ask Mr. Chen.”
With that, Nanny Lin went over to the cordless phone in the living room and made a call. “Mr. Chen, no, nothing’s wrong. It’s Miss Jing, she’s asking if you’re coming home for dinner tonight? Alright, I understand.”
Nanny Lin hung up, turned to Jing Haohao, and said, “Mr. Chen will be home by six tonight.”
Jing Haohao nodded, thought for a moment, then asked, “What’s on the menu for dessert tonight?”
“Cheesecake and Sweet Dew.”
Jing Haohao had been learning a lot of skills from the pastry chef recently. She pondered over the two desserts then said, “Let me prepare it.”
…
At six, Liang Chen’s car pulled into the villa’s courtyard punctually.
As Liang Chen was taking off his shoes upon entering the house, Nanny Lin couldn’t help but joyfully announce, “Mr. Chen, tonight’s dessert was prepared by Miss Jing.”
Liang Chen reacted with a surprised, “Oh?” He looked up to find Jing Haohao wearing an apron and coming out of the kitchen.
