Chapter 117 - 117 117 Missed (4)_1
?Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Missed (4)_1 Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Missed (4)_1 During the night, Jing Haohao, burdened with worries, lay restless on her bedroom’s queen-size bed, unable to fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned. She glanced at the time periodically. At half-past midnight, she finally heard the sound of a car engine from outside the window.
She knew that Liang Chen had returned.
Since noon, when he issued an order, she was taken back to the villa, where she had been living in a state of unease.
The thought of Shen Liangnian kept lingering in her mind, wondering if Liang Chen would not harm him.
She was afraid of involving Shen Liangnian, so she didn’t dare tell him about Liang Chen’s obsession with her. But the more she didn’t want it to be true, the more it turned out to be… She still hurt Shen Liangnian, and his thriving career plummeted in an instant…
Liang Chen had warned her clearly that she was no match for him, that he had thousands of ways to ruin Shen Liangnian. Why didn’t she remember that!
She blamed herself for overestimating her strength and fighting a losing battle. If she had been wise enough to break up with Shen Liangnian earlier and chosen Liang Chen instead, would she be in this situation now?
In the past, Jing Haohao had wished for nothing more than for Liang Chen not to return to the villa, but today, she found herself anxiously awaiting his return by counting the minutes.
The moment Jing Haohao heard the sound of the car, she jumped off the bed and rushed out of the bedroom.
As she stepped out of the elevator, she glimpsed Nanny Lin bent over to retrieve Liang Chen’s slippers from the shoe cabinet in the vestibule. Jing Haohao strode up and softly said, “Let me do it.”
Nanny Lin turned to Jade and stepped back.
Jing Haohao had just placed Liang Chen’s slippers on the ground when the door was pulled open from the outside. Bathed in a cool evening breeze, Jing Haohao looked up to see Liang Chen walking in, removing his tie as he went. The moment he saw that the person waiting for him at the door was Jing Haohao, he visibly paused, and his facial expression froze for a second. It seemed like he was surprised that the person greeting his return was Jing Haohao. He then averted his gaze from her face and elegantly walked over with a composed demeanor. The warm yellow light of the vestibule fell on his face, accentuating his youthful good looks.
Liang Chen stood in front of Jing Haohao, waited as she assisted him in changing his shoes, and without uttering a word, he walked past her toward the elevator.
Jing Haohao hurriedly followed him and operated the elevator for him.
Jing Haohao had never taken such initiative to serve him before; if she saw him at home, she usually tried to avoid him, if she could.
However, Liang Chen knew why she was so proactive today—it was all for Shen Liangnian.
As Liang Chen gazed at the opening elevator doors, he hesitated for a second but still stepped inside without uttering a word.
