?Chapter 251: Chapter 252: Let Me Thank You for the False Joy You Gave Me (3)_1 Chapter 251: Chapter 252: Let Me Thank You for the False Joy You Gave Me (3)_1 After finishing her meal, Jing Haohao walked out of the dining room. Liang Chen was still sitting on the sofa watching TV. The nighttime news was on, with a beautiful female anchor melodically reporting on one prosperous national event after another.
On hearing footsteps, Liang Chen didn’t even turn his head, he simply said, “Nanny Lin, take Miss Jing upstairs for a bath.”
…
After taking a bath, Jing Haohao immediately felt tiredness overwhelming her. It had only been one day, but she felt as though she’d stayed awake for many days without rest, utterly exhausted.
Jing Haohao fell asleep almost instantly after lying down.
Liang Chen only returned to the bedroom at midnight. He stared at the sleeping Jing Haohao for a long while before finally removing his clothes and sliding under the covers.
He always had someone following Jing Haohao, and the driver had called to inform him of how she’d cried alone in the desolate, snowy wilderness.
When he heard that, his hand gripping the phone tightened involuntarily, and he distinctly felt a dull ache in his heart.
Truth be told, he had control over everything. From the day he learned that Shen Liangnian had messaged Jing Haohao, he could’ve stopped her from running away. But he chose to conceal his knowledge, wanting to see if Jing Haohao would indeed leave with Shen Liangnian.
In the afternoon, when his assistant informed him that Jing Haohao had gone to the airport and claimed her boarding pass, a wave of indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
He thought he’d be furious, but instead, bitterness and helplessness overwhelmed his anger.
In the end, she still… left him at the first opportunity.
He had to confess, he was vile and shameless. From the very beginning, he never intended to let Jing Haohao leave. He was like a god, pretending to be oblivious while pulling the strings of this play.
He had his assistant inform Qiao Wennuan of everything. He knew that the woman, who was madly in love, would not let Shen Liangnian go easily.
Everything went as he had envisioned. Jing Haohao waited for three frustrating hours at the airport, but Shen Liangnian never showed up.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Liangnian had turned from her beacon of hope to a source of despair.
Liang Chen didn’t take provocations lightly. If Shen Liangnian dared to infringe on his territory, Liang Chen would make him see that no one could touch what was his.
If anyone wanted to fight with Liang Chen, they had to weigh their own abilities and merits.
In this world, he could cede anything and everything, except for Jing Haohao. He would not budge a single step when it came to her!
…
When Liang Chen lay down next to her, Jing Haohao woke up, after which she found herself unable to fall back asleep.
Once Liang Chen had fallen into a deep sleep, she quietly slipped out from under the covers, donned her robe, and walked out to the balcony.
The snow had stopped. Jing Haohao stood in front of the balcony, staring blankly at the snow-covered mountain.
In his sleep, Liang Chen habitually reached for the space beside him, and found it empty. He frowned, felt around some more, and then suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing the empty space beside him, he quickly sat up.
“Haohao?”
Standing on the balcony, Jing Haohao clearly heard Liang Chen’s slightly anxious voice.
