Chapter 596 - 596 597 Heart-to-Heart (26)_1
?Chapter 596: Chapter 597: Heart-to-Heart (26)_1 Chapter 596: Chapter 597: Heart-to-Heart (26)_1 Liang Chen paused for a long time, completely ignoring Jing Haohao’s first question, and answered her second question: “That person, has already left me.”
She left me on the very day she became my legitimate wife.
Liang Chen’s eyes, at this moment, became somewhat sad.
Jing Haohao sat facing him, watching his expression, her heart heavy. So the woman he loved had already left him. No wonder they had been together for so long and she hadn’t noticed him being particularly close to any women.
The pain expressed in Liang Chen’s eyes stung Jing Haohao. She couldn’t help but lower her eyes. Losing her appetite, she poked at her food with her chopsticks. Then she raised her head, looked at Liang Chen, and asked again: “Do you still love her?”
Can she now hear the confession he’d never managed to voice?
He would not need to fear her rejection, nor worry about completely ruining their relationship.
Liang Chen gazed into Jing Haohao’s eyes, eyes that seemed to collect all the light in the world and were extraordinarily bright. He focused all his attention on the pupils of Jing Haohao, and with a serious look, he said, “Yes, I do.”
The tone of his response was confident and devout.
Jing Haohao’s heart felt like it had been punched, and contracted sharply.
Liang Chen’s gaze remained firmly on Jing Haohao, his voice gently persistent, but also filled with determination and fervor, “Not just now, but also in the future, regardless of whether she likes me or not, I’ll always love her.”
Jing Haohao had instigated this topic, but now she felt she didn’t want to hear anymore. Liang Chen, speaking of his love for someone else with such depth of emotion, seemed to radiate a light. It was dazzling, but to her, it was blinding.
Jing Haohao lowered her eyes, surprised by the jealousy that had unconsciously crept into her voice. “What about the future? What if she were to die tomorrow? Considering that you have a lifetime ahead, would you be willing to relentlessly love a dead person? You wouldn’t possibly remain unmarried for the rest of your life for the sake of someone who’s gone, would you?”
Liang Chen’s expression instantly turned somewhat ugly: “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Jing Haohao didn’t expect this analogy to upset him, seeing his discontent, she involuntarily made a face and softly said, “I was just making an analogy, it’s not real.”
Liang Chen slightly relaxed his expression, looked at her, and his tone returned to its previous gentleness, “She is my life. Don’t joke about my life.”
Even if the one joking about your life is you, talking about your own death tomorrow, it wouldn’t be acceptable.
Liang Chen spoke very seriously, and with certainty.
Although his tone was not harsh, Jing Haohao could sense the warning in his words.
However, what bothered Jing Haohao wasn’t his tone, rather the words he’d actually said.
She is my life, don’t joke about my life.
So, he loved that woman so deeply… But then why did he keep her by his side in the first place? When she proposed, why did he marry her?
He said that woman had left him… And his eyes were so hurt. Could it be, his love had been unrequited?
And she, was she just a substitute for him?
At this thought, Jing Haohao pouted, lowered her head, and started playing with her food absent-mindedly.
