Chapter 594 - 594 595 Heart-to-Heart (24)_1
?Chapter 594: Chapter 595: Heart-to-Heart (24)_1 Chapter 594: Chapter 595: Heart-to-Heart (24)_1 Because of the vibration, the cell phone was slowly moving on the table, making a humming sound.
The screen brightened and dimmed, and Jing Haohao stared at Liang Chen’s name on it. She thought of the dream she had just had, nervously swallowed her saliva, and then reached out to pick up the phone.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then answered the call, speaking into the receiver with particular composure. “Hello?”
“Are you okay, Haohao?” Liang Chen’s familiar voice came through the phone.
“Yeah.” Jing Haohao wasn’t sure how she felt deep down, but hearing his voice gave her a hard-to-express sense of familiarity that surged within her.
Jing Haohao swallowed hard, held the phone, and continued to ask. “Did you call me because you want me to take you out for a meal?”
“Mm.” Liang Chen replied, saying, “I’m on my way to the bottom of your office building.”
“Okay.” Jing Haohao replied, then hung up the phone. Her eyes widened suddenly: He said he was on his way to the bottom of the office building?
Jing Haohao quickly grabbed her bag from the table, then dashed into the restroom. Standing in front of the mirror, she first combed her hair, then used her carry-on powder puff for a light touch-up, making her skin look more delicate and glossy. After confirming that there was nothing wrong in the mirror, she picked up her bag, dashed into the elevator, pressed the number for the first floor, and anxiously watched as the floor level reduced one by one.
Those few short seconds felt incredibly long for Jing Haohao. As soon as the elevator door opened, she ran out and slowed her pace when she entered the hall, maintaining an exceptionally calm demeanor as she walked to the entrance.

The dining venue was chosen by Liang Chen, a Jiangzhe-style restaurant at the very top of Jiangshan City TV Station’s revolving restaurant.
It was the highest place in Jiangshan City, and sitting at the dining table, you could take in the entire night view of Jiangshan City as the restaurant revolved.
Although there were many people in the revolving restaurant, it was quiet with mood-lifting music filling the surroundings, which added to the romantic atmosphere.
Jing Haohao picked up her glass of wine, offered it to Liang Chen, and toasting him: “I’ve already thanked you, but I’d like to do so again.”
Jing Haohao paused briefly, “Thank you.”
In the reflection of the starry night sky outside the window, Liang Chen’s expression was handsome. He looked at Jing Haohao and said, “It’s nothing.”
He then lifted his glass and downed the drink in one go.
When Liang Chen spoke just now, there was a deep gaze in his eyes that looked straight at Jing Haohao. His voice was pleasing to the ear and mirrored the scene from the dream she had in the afternoon in the office. Jing Haohao was taken aback, feeling the air around her thin, as if it was hard to breathe.
The feeling was exactly like holding her breath in her dream.
Seeing that Jing Haohao hadn’t taken a single sip of wine for quite a while, Liang Chen, thinking she didn’t like the drink, knocked on the table and asked, “Do you want me to get you a cup of juice instead?”
Jing Haohao shook her head, only then realizing she had been daydreaming. To cover up her awkwardness, she hurriedly raised her glass, took a big gulp, and drained her entire drink in one go.
After setting down the wine glass, Jing Haohao noticed Liang Chen was still staring at her – his gaze profoundly deep, leaving her feeling restless and confused.
