?Chapter 669: Chapter 670 Girlfriend (2)_1 Chapter 669: Chapter 670 Girlfriend (2)_1 The assistant, under Liang Chen’s gaze, did not dare to breathe, let alone speak. Silently, he followed him into the car. Not even daring to ask a single question, he hurriedly started the vehicle, stealthily driving towards the hotel.
The meeting was scheduled for eight in the morning. They arrived at the hotel at 7:45, and Liang Chen, as calm as ever, returned to his room. He chose a new suit, took a shower, and changed.
As Liang Chen was buttoning his shirt, he inadvertently glanced at its brand. It reminded him of the shirt that Jing Haohao had bought for him, also from this same brand. His fingers suddenly paused, and he abruptly kicked the vanity mirror in front of him.
The glass mirror shattered, scattering pieces all over the floor with a clattering noise.
The assistant, who was about to enter Liang Chen’s room to call him, froze at the door, too startled to react.
The normally unflappable and mentally strong boss seemed particularly irritable today!
About a minute later, the assistant heard heavy footsteps from inside. Quickly dismissing any irrelevant thoughts, he focused and stood in his spot. Upon seeing Liang Chen open the door, he respectfully bowed, saying, “Mr. Liang, it’s time for the meeting.”
Liang Chen had completely suppressed his earlier rage, and looked unusually calm. He gave his assistant a brief sideways glance. Raising his perfectly chiseled chin slightly, he left a somewhat arrogant remark before he left: “Don’t forget to compensate for the mirror in the room.”
Then he walked towards the elevator.
…
The meeting lasted for a full four hours, ending at twelve o’clock. Everyone chose a restaurant for lunch, which happened to end at two o’clock.
Liang Chen had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and combined with not having slept the previous night, he asked his assistant to drop him off at the hotel for a rest.
Lying on the hotel’s enormous bed, Liang Chen tossed and turned unable to fall asleep. The alcohol spurred his mind to run wild with all manner of thoughts.
…
When Jing Haohao woke up the next day, her ankle had reduced in swelling significantly. She was able to stand and move, despite a slight aching feeling.
As was her habit, she glanced at her phone the moment she opened her eyes. But today, her phone was silent, without any messages from Liang Chen.
Jing Haohao felt a hint of unspeakable disappointment. She comforted herself, assuming that Liang Chen was probably just busy. She then got out of bed, freshened up and readied herself for work.
In the past, Liang Chen would always send her a message whenever he was free. But Jing Haohao waited until noon in the office, and still received no messages.
Long distance relationships can easily lead to overthinking, so Jing Haohao spent the entire noon break in a daze, finally sending Liang Chen a text message at three o’clock.
…
Liang Chen eventually sat up, propping himself against two soft pillows, staring blankly at the ceiling.
His phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it instinctively. On seeing the word “Haohao”, he paused for a moment. After staring blandly at the dull ceiling for a while, he picked up his phone.
“Are you still busy?”
Liang Chen’s throat moved slightly. His fingers paused for a long time before he replied with a simple: “Yes.”
…
Jing Haohao was accustomed to Liang Chen’s brief replies when he was occupied.
