Chapter 667 - 667 668 Sweetness in a Different Place (10)_1
?Chapter 667: Chapter 668: Sweetness in a Different Place (10)_1 Chapter 667: Chapter 668: Sweetness in a Different Place (10)_1 Shen Liangnian stood from dusk until night fell, until the deep night arrived.
The whole building was eerily quiet, with only the occasional sound of someone’s pet dog barking.
The light in Jing Haohao’s room finally dimmed at around ten o’clock.
Looking at the pitch-black window in front of him, Shen Liangnian felt as if his heart was darkening along with it.
Despite the heating in the night-time corridor, it was still chilling. Eventually, Shen Liangnian’s hands and feet began to feel cold. His stomach started to feel uneasy. He took another dose of medication and waited until the early morning at two o’clock, believing that Jing Haohao had fallen deep asleep. Only then did he turn around and leave.
…
In the evening, Liang Chen made a phone call with Jing Haohao, but she didn’t sound particularly spirited. She sounded somewhat listless. She went to bed before ten o’clock.
By this time, Liang Chen had just become free. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of his hotel room, his heart beating irregularly. He felt restless.
He seldom smoked but still pulled out a cigarette to suppress his unease. However, after only two puffs, he couldn’t help but dial the internal line of his assistant and said, “Book me a flight to Jiangshan City right now.”
“Mr. Liang, there’s a meeting tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll be back on the first flight.”
…
An hour and a half later, Liang Chen was on his flight to Jiangshan City.
…
When he arrived at Jiangshan City, it was already two o’clock in the morning. His car was parked at the airport’s parking lot. He drove straight to Jing Haohao’s residence.
The roads in Jiangshan City were very smooth at night. In just over forty minutes, Liang Chen’s car had pulled into Jing Haohao’s compound.
He found a spot to park the car and was about to open the car door when he saw a familiar car in front of him.
Liang Chen paused momentarily, pondering whose car it could be, when he saw Shen Liangnian emerge from the building.
Liang Chen immediately retracted the hand he had placed on the car door. He sat in the driver’s seat, watching as Shen Liangnian walked steadily over to his own car, opened the door, started it up, and smoothly drove off.
Once Shen Liangnian’s car was out of sight, the world went utterly silent.
Liang Chen sat stiffly in the car. He could feel his heart being pierced harshly by something sharp. A large wound opened, with bright red blood flowing out.
Why would Shen Liangnian appear in the building where Jing Haohao lived? Was he there for Jing Haohao?
And he didn’t leave until three in the morning. Jing Haohao had told him she was tired and had gone to bed at ten…
Desperately, Liang Chen told himself, this was the girl he deeply loved. The least he should do was trust her. However, he could not help but let his imagination run wild with alarming thoughts.
The more he thought, the more conflicted he felt. His blood started to boil.
The hand that gripped the steering wheel tightened. His chest heaved up and down.
PS: That’s it for today. To be continued tomorrow… In general, this won’t be too torturous. Normally, I am now wrapping up the story~~~
