?Chapter 413: Chapter 414 Besides Loving Her, Everything Else is Negligible (2)_1 Chapter 413: Chapter 414 Besides Loving Her, Everything Else is Negligible (2)_1 Now, however, Liang Chen had instantly turned his face away from the approach, disgustedly staring at the pair of fair hands placed on his arm, saying, “Don’t you find this revolting.”
The escort girl with a smile as bright as a flower felt embarrassed when she heard these words. She reluctantly left her hand on Liang Chen’s arm, forcing a smile in an attempt to ease the tension. However, Liang Chen retorted, “Have you never learned the meaning of decency?”
Liang Chen then shook off the escort girl’s hand and sat quietly on the sofa with a cold expression.
The private room was filled with thundering DJ music. Finding the noise unbearable, Liang Chen picked up the remote control and turned off the music with a click.
The room became somewhat quiet instantly.
Only then did Cong Rong smile and put down his glass. He gestured to the escorts standing nearby to leave.
“What’s wrong? You seem upset.” Cong Rong poured a glass of wine for Liang Chen and pushed it in front of him.
Liang Chen remained silent, solely lifting his glass and downing the wine forcefully.
The pungent liquid burned its way down the throat, reaching the bottom of his heart with scorching irritation.
Cong Rong, looking at the silent Liang Chen, curled his lips in a smile, asking, “Still no news from Jing Haohao?”
Liang Chen lifted his head, glanced at Cong Rong, picked up the bottle, and continued to drink glass after glass.
“I heard from your company’s people that you haven’t been to the office for several days, and that big project you signed has also been halted recently. At this rate, you might have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract.”
This time, Liang Chen didn’t even look at Cong Rong. He acted as if he hadn’t heard him at all and continued to drink.
Cong Rong lowered his head and gave a hollow laugh. He pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Lazily leaning back on the sofa, he watched in silence as Liang Chen finished off two bottles of liquor.
Liang Chen motioned towards the service bell, signaling Cong Rong to order more wine.
“Drowning your sorrows in alcohol isn’t your style, Chen. Where’s your usual rationality?”
“Less talk. If I tell you to order drinks, just order.”
Cong Rong pressed the service bell and said, “Bring two bottles of Royal Salute.”
Cong Rong turned off the service bell and turned his head to look at Liang Chen.
The man’s face was slightly flushed from the strong liquor, His eyelids drooped over his eyes, his long eyelashes like tiny fans covering his eyelids. He held a few dice in his hand, casually toying with them out of sheer boredom.
Cong Rong took a couple of puffs from his cigarette, then offered one to Liang Chen, asking, “Want a couple of drags?”
Liang Chen took the cigarette, and Cong Rong leaned over to light it for him.
Liang Chen slowly took a drag, and the scent of the tobacco slowly dissipated in his oral cavity.
Cong Rong sat nearby, watching the handsome face barely visible through the smoke, then began, “Chen, it’s not that I like to meddle, but I know you may not like what I’m about to say. Jing Haohao and Shen Liangnian have known each other for a full ten years. Shen Liangnian’s infidelity must be hurting her, but just because she’s hurt does not mean she would choose you. I witnessed how you worked to build the Jiangshan Group to this point when we came back to Jiangshan City from Beijing. But now, you’re languishing. It’s only been a few days, and you’re already skipping work and ignoring everything happening inside the office. The old you would never do this.”
