?Chapter 685: Chapter 686 Girlfriend (18)_1 Chapter 685: Chapter 686 Girlfriend (18)_1 Liang Chen’s lips tightened further, and his hand on the table clenched into a fist. He looked back into Jing Haohao’s eyes, not saying a word.
Jing Haohao felt a certain unease at the bottom of her heart under Liang Chen’s gaze. A thin layer of sweat made her palms damp.
She could confirm that she no longer loved Shen Liangnian. She could also confirm that she had truly let go of Shen Liangnian. But when the hospital called to relay his critical situation, she still found herself worrying deep down.
Shen Liangnian’s betrayal indeed left her furious. It made her want to cut ties with him completely and sever all contact. She even once found herself wishing that Shen Liangnian, as he made promises to her, would indeed face divine retribution if he wronged her.
Now, with him in a critical condition and being resuscitated at the hospital, she realized she was not as heartless as she’d imagined.
Even if she had become a stranger to Shen Liangnian, she still wished for him to live a peaceful life. Because of the ten years she spent together with Shen Liangnian, she saw him for the first six years as family, as a brother.
If it were not for Shen Liangnian’s father, she might have dropped out of school early and lived a life she could not foresee.
After a long while, Jing Haohao opened her mouth to speak again, “Liang Chen, as long as there’s no major issue with Shen Liangnian, I’ll come back as soon as possible.”
At hearing this, the gaze Liang Chen fixed on Jing Haohao turned a little cold.
He’d been holding himself back these past few days.
Seeing Shen Liangnian coming to look for Jing Haohao in the middle of the night, he held back.
Rushing a long way back from Shanghai in concern for Jing Haohao, seeing Shen Liangnian coming out from her building, he still held back.
Seeing their old photos together, he continued holding back.
Last night, unable to restraint himself, he inquired Jing Haohao whether the place where she told him those words had a special meaning for her.
She so seriously told him it didn’t.
He believed her. He even felt a touch of happiness.
But now… Just a phone call from the hospital indicating Shen Liangnian was in a critical condition, and she couldn’t wait to see him.
Had Shen Liangnian truly left her heart?
“Liang Chen, I’m only going to check on him. As long as Shen is alright, I promise I’ll come back immediately…”
“Are you a doctor?” Before Jing Haohao could finish, Liang Chen, who had been silent across from her, abruptly interrupted her.
His tone was cold and icy, his complexion grim: “There are numerous doctors and nurses in the hospital to look after him, isn’t it enough, you still have to go?”
With a hint of mockery surfacing on his distinguished face, Liang Chen continued, “He is indeed lucky.”
Jing Haohao pursed her lips, watching Liang Chen’s demeanor, her fingertips trembling slightly. She began to speak softly, “Liang Chen, don’t be like this.”
“And how shouldn’t I be!” Liang Chen, who was not particularly good-tempered, had been restraining his temper for Jing Haohao. Hearing her say that provoked his temper, and he suddenly stood up from his seat, leaning over slightly, his eyes fixed on Jing Haohao. He angrily retorted, “Then you tell me, how should I be? Should I just blurt out to my girlfriend, ‘Your ex-boyfriend is sick, please go take care of him’?”
