?Chapter 706: Chapter 707: Goodbye (9)_1 Chapter 706: Chapter 707: Goodbye (9)_1 Jing Haohao looked up and thanked Qian Hua.
Seeing the thin layer of sweat forming on Jing Haohao’s forehead, Qian Hua thought for a moment and reached out to support Liang Chen’s other arm.
It was only then that Liang Chen turned his head slightly to look at Qian Hua. He frowned and muttered her name, “Why are you here?”
“I’m having a gathering with my friends here tonight,” Qian Hua replied in a low voice.
Liang Chen nodded without a word, turning his head to gaze at Jing Haohao whose eyes were flickering. Then he asked quietly, “Qian Hua, did you drive here?”
Even though Liang Chen was speaking to Qian Hua, his eye nonetheless remained fixed on Jing Haohao.
Although puzzled by Liang Chen’s question, Qian Hua still answered truthfully, “Yes, I did.”
Liang Chen hummed in response. Deliberately shifting his body weight onto Jing Haohao, he continued to stare at her unblinkingly, while saying to Qian Hua, “Qian Hua, you know my place downtown, could you drive me there since you have a car?”
On hearing this, Qian Hua froze for a second, then involuntarily turned to look at Jing Haohao.
Hearing this, Jing Haohao lowered her eyes, looking outwardly calm.
Qian Hua looked at Jing Haohao with a hint of embarrassment. Although Liang Chen had rejected her, after hesitating for a bit, she decided to avoid any further complication by saying, “Brother Chen, I’ve had some alcohol, so I shouldn’t be driving.”
Liang Chen didn’t speak, continuing to look at Jing Haohao.
The atmosphere among the three of them turned awkwardly tense.
After a while, Liang Chen, eyes still fixed on Jing Haohao, spoke again, “Qian Hua, you think I don’t know how much alcohol you can handle?”
The look on Qian Hua’s face grew more embarrassed. She made a glance at Jing Haohao, seemingly unsure of how to respond.
Jing Haohao, supporting Liang Chen, walked silently out of the Golden Era’s main entrance. She moistened her lips before asking, “Miss Qian, where is your car parked?”
Liang Chen’s gaze darkened as he followed Jing Haohao’s question, also asking, “Qian Hua, where is your car?”
“Brother Chen, I have plans with my friends later, so I…”
Before Qian Hua could finish, Liang Chen cut her off impatiently, “I asked you, where is your car?”
Qian Hua closed her mouth and moistened her lips. After a moment, she pointed towards the parking lot on the left.
Liang Chen staggered slightly, then shook off Jing Haohao’s arm. He stared at Jing Haohao’s face, saying, “Qian Hua can drive me home. It’s getting late. You should head home too.”
Jing Haohao held her gaze steady on Liang Chen for a moment, then gave a slight nod. Turning to Qian Hua, she said quietly, “Miss Qian, goodbye.”
Just as Qian Hua was about to speak, Liang Chen suddenly turned and headed straight for the parking lot.
Qian Hua quickly caught up with him and reached out to support the stumbling Liang Chen. Taking a few steps and glancing back at Jing Haohao, Qian Hua moved her lips, but finally turned the corner into the parking lot without saying anything.
Jing Haohao watched as Qian Hua and Liang Chen got into the car. She then turned and walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and left.
