Chapter 670 - 670 671 Girlfriend (3)_1
?Chapter 670: Chapter 671 Girlfriend (3)_1 Chapter 670: Chapter 671 Girlfriend (3)_1 Without giving it a second thought, she sent Liang Chen a smiling face and said, “Then you get back to work.”
This time, Liang Chen didn’t respond at all.
A trace of disappointment emerged deep within Jing Haohao’s heart, yet she didn’t bother Liang Chen further.
…
As Liang Chen looked at the smiley face in the text message from Jing Haohao, his disposition grew even heavier. He stared at the screen for a long while, but in the end, he didn’t respond and directly exited back to his phone’s home screen.
The picture on his screensaver was a selfie he took without her knowing it last year when she fell asleep in his arms. He had been using it until now.
In the photo, Jing Haohao was sleeping peacefully, her eyes closed, long lashes casting a shadow on her cheeks.
At that moment, he hadn’t realized he was in love with her, yet his eyes and eyebrows softened as he looked at her.
Liang Chen’s gaze followed Jing Haohao’s eyebrows, then moved to her nose, and finally to her lips. His heart was as bitter as if he’d swallowed a golden lotus root.
Haohao, what am I going to do with you?
…
Separated by a vast distance, the two of them only communicated through their mobile phones. Due to the woman’s sensitivity, Jing Haohao vaguely felt that Liang Chen seemed to be in a bad mood or was worried about something. She did ask him about it, but Liang Chen’s reply to her was simply, “it’s nothing.”
Jing Haohao thought he was like that due to his busy work, so she seldom showed any pettiness in front of him, acting understanding and well-behaved when they spoke.
…
The days passed as Jing Haohao crossed out each one on her calendar.
The 20th was the day Liang Chen was to return to Jiangshan City.
Jing Haohao woke up early in the morning, inexplicably excited. After getting up and seeing Liang Chen’s text message, she cheerfully sent a text message asking, “What time will you be back in the afternoon?”
It was not until noon that Jing Haohao received Liang Chen’s message: “I’m sorry, Haohao, I might be delayed for a couple of days.”
Jing Haohao’s joy instantly turned into disappointment, but she put on a casual facade and texted Liang Chen back saying, “Don’t forget about Christmas.”
…
Despite already a dozen days having passed, Liang Chen still couldn’t convince himself to disregard his concerns.
When he noticed Shen Liangnian visiting Jing Haohao in the middle of the night, he also felt uneasy. But after he had lingered downstairs at her place for one night, he convinced himself the next day that it was as if nothing had happened, and moved on.
He had thought that incident had really been put to rest, but when Shen Liangnian and Jing Haohao intersected once more, he found old feelings, like a tidal wave, quickly surfacing.
He had clearly overestimated his own magnanimity. In reality, he was a petty man who cared about every little detail.
He had already wrapped up his work in Shanghai, yet he didn’t have the slightest inclination to return to Jiangshan City.
He wanted to return to Jing Haohao when his mood had fully calmed down, but to his surprise, the days he had delayed his return were the ones that left him more restless.
His longing for Jing Haohao and the jealousy in his heart were in constant conflict, leaving him in a daze.
Finally, on the night of the 23rd, his assistant, seeing that Liang Chen had been spacing out at the window during a work report, couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Liang, we’ve been here for almost twenty days. Lots of work has piled up at the Jiangshan Group, and Secretary Su has called multiple times. Can we book tickets to go back tomorrow?”
