Chapter 386 - 386 387 Preparation (5)_1
?Chapter 386: Chapter 387 Preparation (5)_1 Chapter 386: Chapter 387 Preparation (5)_1 Jing Haohao had been searching for a long while before she found a stone. When she picked it up, she discovered a red string attached to it. She carefully examined it for a moment before realizing that this stone was not one of the three she and Liang Chen had chosen from the Stone Story.
She stared at the stone, her brows creasing slightly. A slow understanding began to dawn on her. She clenched the stone in her hand and continued to search in the grass. After about half an hour, Jing Haohao found all the stones.
There were five stones in total, three of which she had chosen to wear on her wrist, and two more were pendants… Presumably, these were the New Year’s gifts Liang Chen had prepared for her on the first day of the Lunar year. Knowing the rumor that the Stone Story could separate two people, she had thrown them all away in anger.
His retaining her by his side was just a whim. At times, he was really good to her, but many times, he did nothing when others embarrassed her. He, a proud son of heaven who was always being admired, inevitably developed a self-important and arrogant character. To him, his things were not to be intruded upon by others. His actions were perhaps simply a demonstration of defending his territory, unrelated to affection or love.
She knew in her heart that he didn’t love her, he might have some physical attraction to her, or perhaps he’d never been denied anything, and the sudden challenge by her rebellious attitude aroused his desire to conquer. In his heart, she was perhaps just a challenge. Once she completely submitted to him, he might lose all interest.
Jing Haohao thought, Liang Chen possibly loathed her to the core, otherwise, he wouldn’t lash out and torment her whenever she protested or upset him.
However… if he hated her so much, why did he still prepare a New Year’s gift for her?
Troubled by this thought, Jing Haohao couldn’t help but grip the stones in her hand harder.
The stones were irregular in shape, and because of her force, the sharp edges caused a slight pain in her palm.
…
Nanny Lin watched as Jing Haohao wandered the grass, seemingly amusing herself with something.
Nanny Lin grew even more puzzled.
Why would Mr. Chen say out of the blue that Miss Jing would become despondent? Miss Jing looked perfectly normal, and even more cheerful than before.
As she was mulling over this, Nanny Lin turned to head back inside. Then, she heard the sound of brakes. When she turned her head, she saw Liang Chen getting out of his car.
