Chapter 54 - 54 54 Maneuvering (4)_1
?Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Maneuvering (4)_1 Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Maneuvering (4)_1 While Qiao Wennuan was acting, her mind was absorbed in the text message she had unintentionally seen on Jing Haohao’s phone. Her mind wandered several times. When she saw Jing Haohao grab her phone and walk away, she stopped acting: “Sorry, I’m a bit out of form, I’m going to step aside to adjust.”
Jing Haohao did not walk far into the woods. She leaned against a tree and answered a call from Mr. Liang, “Mr. Liang…”
“Your plane tickets have been booked, have you received the notification?” Jing Haohao’s voice had barely settled when Liang Chen’s indifferent voice came from the other end of the line.
Jing Haohao had been busy acting and hadn’t had time to check her phone. After hearing Liang Chen’s words, she looked at the text message on her phone before saying to Liang Chen on the phone, “I got it.”
“Hmm.” Liang Chen grunted and was about to hang up.
“Mr. Liang…”
“What is it?”
“I…these few days…it’s that time of the month again.”
Liang Chen on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, calculating the days conscientiously in his head. He found that it hadn’t been a month since Jing Haohao’s last period, so he asked, “Isn’t it too early?”
“I don’t know what’s going on… I think it might be because my body is not acclimated to the water and soil here in Yunnan, so it started unexpectedly the night before last.”
Liang Chen was silent for a while.
Just when Jing Haohao was thinking, ‘It’s over… He must be angry again…’, the next second, Liang Chen’s voice came through, “Hmm, come back first, and we’ll talk about it.”
With that said, he hung up the phone without any hesitation.
She hadn’t seen Liang Chen for a whole month, and she was thousands of miles away from him now. But why did she get so nervous every time she took his call?
Jing Haohao held her phone, took a deep breath, unaware that a figure was swiftly departing quietly from behind her.
…
It’s commonly said that when rivals meet, their eyes turn red. However, this didn’t seem to be the case with Qiao Wennuan and Jing Haohao.
Jing Haohao knew that Qiao Wennuan liked Shen Liangnian, but she never saw Qiao Wennuan have too much interaction with Shen Liangnian. She wasn’t the type to make trouble out of nothing. Even though she knew Qiao Wennuan disliked her, as long as Qiao Wennuan didn’t provoke her, Jing Haohao never thought of confronting Qiao Wennuan openly.
And Qiao Wennuan, who managed to have an affair with Shen Liangnian for two years without any slip-ups, naturally wouldn’t do anything excessively harsh to Jing Haohao in front of so many people.
Therefore, neither of them liked the other, but when they met in the presence of others, they would politely greet each other. When there was no one else around, they would simply ignore each other and go their separate ways.
Deep down, Qiao Wennuan extremely despised Jing Haohao. Particularly after Shen Liangnian broke off their relationship, her loathing for Jing Haohao grew even more apparent.
During these past few days, she hadn’t gone to see Shen Liangnian. She knew that Shen Liangnian was determined to be with Jing Haohao. If she were to pester him, it would only make him want to push her away even more.
However, she hadn’t given up on Shen Liangnian in her heart. She was always looking for an opportunity – an opportunity for Shen Liangnian to leave Jing Haohao and come to her side.
