?Chapter 416: Chapter 417 Besides Loving You, Everything Else is Negligible (5)_1 Chapter 416: Chapter 417 Besides Loving You, Everything Else is Negligible (5)_1 Perhaps due to Cong Rong suddenly bringing up the past, Liang Chen took a too hurriedly puff and choked, starting a fit of coughing.
…
The day after seeing Cong Rong, Liang Chen acted as if nothing happened, getting up early in the morning and heading energetically to the office.
There was a substantial amount of work he had left undone in the last few days. He hardly had a moment to catch his breath, being in a state of relentless busyness all day.
Miss Su knew that Jing Haohao had disappeared. While working alongside Liang Chen, she kept observing his demeanor and found that he seemed less irritable and more patient than before, almost the same as he used to be.
Liang Chen’s demeanor led Miss Su to believe that Jing Haohao had never been part of Liang Chen’s world.
After several days, Miss Su realized that her breadwinner wasn’t all right, rather, he was using work to distract his mind.
One time, she left her house keys at the office and played with her friends in a bar until midnight. Remembering she had left her keys, she rushed back to the office. Seeing the light on in Liang Chen’s office, she assumed he had forgotten to turn it off. When she quietly opened the door, she found Liang Chen sitting at his desk, seriously going through documents.
Startled, Miss Su quickly shut the door and stealthily departed.
Afterwards, Miss Su found that Liang Chen was busy with the company’s affairs almost all the time, except during meals. Within a week, the company achieved a month’s performance. However, Liang Chen seemed to have lost weight, and the other employees often received calls from him during the late-night hours about documents and progress updates. This led to the executives not getting enough sleep and they had to accompany him to meetings and meet clients the next day. The company went from being idle the previous week to utterly exhausted in the current one.
There were times when the company was active, and all official business was neatly dealt with.
After sending out the last email, Liang Chen wanted to look for a new file, only to realize even tiny details that didn’t need his attention had been taken care of till nothing was left.
He glanced at the time in the lower-left corner of his computer. It had been twenty days since Jing Haohao disappeared.
Out of habit, he picked up his phone, dialed yet another number, and inquired about the search progress. The answer was still the same: they were still searching.
Perhaps he had become accustomed to these unprogressive answers. He found his heart had grown numb and couldn’t feel any pain anymore.
He leaned back in his office chair, closing his eyes to rest a bit. However, the moment he shut his eyes, all he could think of was Jing Haohao.
No, he had to find something to do, not allowing himself to be tormented by his thoughts.
Liang Chen searched through his computer, then his desk for a significant amount of time, but couldn’t find any work to do.
Until a few days ago, he could keep himself so busy he didn’t even have time to breathe. This extreme fatigue numbed his brain and prevented him from thinking about her.
But now, he didn’t even have something to distract himself with.
He could not go on like this, just waiting for things to happen.
Upon this thought, Liang Chen grabbed his car keys from the desk, directly went downstairs, and drove back to the villa.
