Chapter 321 - 321 322 Congratulations (6)_1
?Chapter 321: Chapter 322: Congratulations (6)_1 Chapter 321: Chapter 322: Congratulations (6)_1 He deliberately emphasized the word “blessing,” letting others understand in an instant that he was speaking ironically.
Sensing that the atmosphere in Liang Chen’s words was getting increasingly wrong, Cong Rong stepped in to smooth things over, asking, “Where are we gathering tonight? Same old place?”
Liang Chen didn’t continue to make things difficult. He just leaned comfortably against the sofa, picked up a nearby magazine to flip through, and offhandedly replied, “Same old place, then.”
As soon as Liang Chen’s voice fell, the changing room door nearby was opened.
“Mr. Liang, do you think this outfit suits me?”
Liang Chen turned his head and saw Jing Haohao standing there, resplendent in the red dress he had picked out for her. Her skin was naturally fair and when combined with the bright red color, she looked as exquisite and translucent as white porcelain.
In the dressing room, the staff had applied light makeup to her. Her long, black hair was pulled up, revealing her delicate neck. She was exceedingly stunning.
For a moment, everyone, including Liang Chen, Cong Rong, and Shen Liangnian, were captivated.
Liang Chen was the first to snap out of it. He stood and walked over to Jing Haohao, critically examining her from head to toe. Then, he went to a nearby display case and pointed at a set of pink pearl jewelry. The attendant brought it over, and Liang Chen put it on Jing Haohao himself. Satisfied, he nodded approvingly and said, “Nice.”
“So, would Mr. Liang like to pay by card?”
“Mmm.” Liang Chen replied, taking a bank card from his pocket and handing it to the attendant. “No pin is needed. Just swipe it.”
Afterward, he walked back to the sofa with his arm around Jing Haohao. Once she had settled down, he thoughtfully handed her a glass of water.
Qiao Wennuan saw Shen Liangnian staring at the beautifully dressed Jing Haohao, and felt slightly uncomfortable. Then, she turned her head towards Jing Haohao and ventured amiably, “Mr. Liang treats Haohao very well. Just wondering, when will Mr. Liang marry Haohao?”
Marry Jing Haohao?
These words vibrated harshly in Liang Chen’s heart. In his life till now, he’d never thought about marriage. But now that Qiao Wennuan had raised the question, images of marrying Jing Haohao suddenly flashed through his mind. His gaze, seemingly involuntarily, fell on the rows of beautiful wedding dresses nearby. ‘Jing Haohao marrying him’… These words slowly drifted through his mind, catching him off guard with a sense of anticipation.
Seeing Liang Chen not responding for a while, Qiao Wennuan cast a glance at Jing Haohao and insinuated further, “So, Mr. Liang hasn’t thought about marrying Haohao yet?”
How could Jing Haohao not understand the implication behind Qiao Wennuan’s words? What did it matter how well Liang Chen treated her, how she was living the luxurious life not accessible to others? This man, after all, would not give her what is most important to a woman: a rightful status.
Jing Haohao understood that Qiao Wennuan was trying to demean her.
At this moment, Liang Chen pulled his thoughts back, instantly understanding Qiao Wennuan’s intent. He immediately responded, saying in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “Whether Haohao and I wed is not dependent on my wish to marry, but on whether Haohao wishes to marry me.”
Did they think they could embarrass Jing Haohao in front of him?
They’d have to see if he would allow it.
