Chapter 412 - 412 413 Besides Loving Her Everything Else is
?Chapter 412: Chapter 413 Besides Loving Her, Everything Else is Negligible (1)_1 Chapter 412: Chapter 413 Besides Loving Her, Everything Else is Negligible (1)_1 No matter how many people there are in the world, no matter how many fresh faces he could see each passing second, none astonished him quite like when he first saw her.
Only at this moment did he realize that the clean and stunning aura that captivated him at first glance wasn’t solely due to her unique nature, but also the sheer surprise of falling in love at first sight.
Even though the streets were bustling, filled with constant chattering, car horns, and laughter, Liang Chen felt as if he was the only person existing in this world, utterly alone and desolated.
Haohao, it seems… In a city without you, I feel I am in a distant land, filled with only loneliness.
…
Once upon a time, Liang Chen was constantly racing against time, feeling that there was never enough of it. But now, he has never felt time passing so slowly and torturously.
It’s already been five days.
Jing Haohao still hasn’t given any sign of her whereabouts.
Under his extensive search, a living person just disappeared without leaving any trace.
From the initial loss of appetite, Liang Chen is now restless, not even going to the company anymore, his temper has become incredibly volatile, even the smallest things can erupt his terrifying fury.
The atmosphere in the villa has become oppressive, and the servants tiptoe around carefully, afraid of upsetting Liang Chen unintentionally.
Even to the point where, when Liang Chen didn’t come down for dinner, the servants dared not go upstairs to ask about it.
When Liang Chen finally fell asleep, he woke up suddenly from his dreams at around eight in the evening, his whole body covered in cold sweat.
Checking the time, he had only been asleep for 20 minutes.
This has happened countless times over the past few days.
He keeps having bizarre dreams. In them, Jing Haohao is either dead, married to someone else, or he is stumbling around like a headless fly, unable to find her no matter how hard he tries.
Liang Chen tiredly got out of bed to pour himself a glass of water. Looking at the balcony, he suddenly felt as though he could see Jing Haohao hiding behind the curtain on the wicker chair. Setting down his glass, he dashed over and tore open the curtain, only to find an empty scene with a slightly drunk night breeze blowing in.
Liang Chen blankly stood for a moment, then picked up his phone and made another call.
Still, the response he got was that the search was ongoing, with no leads yet.
Liang Chen hardened his voice, saying, “Keep searching!”
Then angrily, he hung up, stood on the balcony contemplating for a while, then turned to his bedroom, picked up his car keys, and walked downstairs.
As he drove towards downtown Jiangshan, Liang Chen made a call to Cong Rong via Bluetooth.
Cong Rong happened to be at “Golden Era,” Liang Chen promptly hung up and headed there immediately.
The flashy private rooms, places where Liang Chen had gotten used to conducting business over the years.
He was not enamored by women, however, before Jing Haohao, he had reluctantly allowed escorts from “Golden Era” to accompany him at business socials, just for show.
So, when the -escorts- saw him, they lazily came over with their sweet and alluring smiles and wrapped their arms in his, saying, “Mr. Liang, you’re here.”
In the past, even though he despised it in his heart, Liang Chen would still smile courteously and gently remove his arm. But now, the mere touch caused him to visibly recoil. He stared with disgust at the fair hands on his arm and said, “Aren’t you disgusted with yourself?”
