Chapter 638 - 638 639 Sweet as Honey (1)_1
?Chapter 638: Chapter 639 Sweet as Honey (1)_1 Chapter 638: Chapter 639 Sweet as Honey (1)_1 Jing Haohao opened her mouth slightly, Liang Chen’s deep and magnetic voice, with a bewitching flavor, resounded once more, “Haohao, may I pursue you?”
Liang Chen uttered these words with neither too lightly nor too heavily, even carrying a touch of lingering and plaintive undertone. Hearing this, Jing Haohao felt a tingling sensation at the bottom of her heart. It seemed as though those words echoed in her ears several times before finally fading away.
The hand Jing Haohao placed on the quilt subconsciously clenched, she became still as if she had lost the instinct of breathing.
She had experienced a love affair that lasted four years, with a person she had known for a decade. That relationship consumed nearly all her youth, yet she had never been pursued by a man.
Even at the conclusion of that relationship, she was the one to speak first.
She had never experienced the feeling of being pursued by a man before, but now, the man she had fallen for again, told her that he wanted to pursue her.
Despite knowing well the vast distance between them, like that of birds from fish, with many obstacles and differences standing in between, Jing Haohao still found herself unable to resist nodding in agreement.
Liang Chen maintained his unchanging expression, silently gazing at Jing Haohao.
In the quiet room, Jing Haohao broke the silence after a moment, gently uttering two words, “You may.”
You may.
Such simple and straightforward words.
In the company, Liang Chen would often give a nonchalant nod underlying the word ‘you may’ to the proposals and plans presented by his employees.
He had always found this phrase to be emotionless, even slightly distant.
But at this moment, when the same two words came from Jing Haohao’s mouth, Liang Chen surprisingly found that ‘you may’ sounded far more enchanting than many other enticing words in the world.
She said, he may pursue her.
Does that mean his hope has substantially increased?
Gazing into the depths of Jing Haohao’s eyes, Liang Chen began to tremble with excitement, his voice following suit, “Haohao, from this moment on, I am officially pursuing you.”
…
Liang Chen’s actions truly synchronized with his words.
The day before, he had told Jing Haohao, soberly and solemnly, that he would officially start pursuing her.
The following Monday, as soon as Jing Haohao stepped into the office, she received a bouquet of ninety-nine roses along with a small gift box. When she opened it, she found a box of Häagen-Dazs inside.
The colleague sitting across Jing Haohao looked at the huge bouquet and the Häagen-Dazs, and said enviously, “Jing Haohao, your boyfriend is really romantic. He keeps finding new ways to express his love for you.”
Jing Haohao understood the significance of the roses, but was rather puzzled by the Häagen-Dazs.
Her colleague, lost in thought, continued, “Ninety-nine roses represent everlasting love, and the slogan of Häagen-Dazs is, if you love her, treat her to Häagen-Dazs.”
If you love her, treat her to Häagen-Dazs?
Jing Haohao furrowed her brows slightly. So that’s what Häagen-Dazs symbolizes. A trace of sweetness surged from the bottom of her heart.
Every day after that, Jing Haohao would always receive fresh flowers and small gifts from Liang Chen at the exact same time.
These small gifts were unique and diverse, with none exactly alike. And surprisingly, she found many of them to be quite useless for her.
