Chapter 629 - 629 630 Birds and Fish (2)_1
?Chapter 629: Chapter 630 Birds and Fish (2)_1 Chapter 629: Chapter 630 Birds and Fish (2)_1 The suite was engulfed in silence once more. Liang Chen stood by the bed, an aura of residual rage still lingering around him. After a while, he picked up his phone, subconsciously wanting to call Jing Haohao to explain the situation. However, as soon as he clicked on Jing Haohao’s name, his movements ceased abruptly.
Jing Haohao was not his lover. Why was he in such a hurry to call her? How was he supposed to explain?
Realizing this, Liang Chen tossed his phone onto the bed.
…
His assistant took care of everything and returned to Liang Chen’s room with an iPad, finding him standing in front of the full-length mirror in the living room, hands tucked in his pockets, immobile.
From the back, Liang Chen appeared very gentle, as if the person who had just lost his temper wasn’t him at all.
The assistant slowly approached, stopping a meter behind Liang Chen before saying, “Mr. Liang, I’ve taken care of everything you asked for.”
Liang Chen showed no reaction.
The assistant continued, “A journalist surreptitiously took photographs of you and Miss Qian having dinner in Shanghai two years ago. Now that journalist has set up his own studio and, in an attempt to gain more visibility, released those photos. I’ve already arranged for his studio to be shut down.”
Once again, Liang Chen remained silent. The assistant stood for a moment before adding, “If nothing else is needed, I’ll head out.”
Just as the assistant was about to turn and leave, Liang Chen’s voice drifted over, “Hasn’t Jiangshan City TV Station been wanting to invite me as a guest for an interview?”
Startled, the assistant asked, “Mr. Liang, are you saying…?”
Liang Chen slowly turned to face him, “Help me accept that invite. Schedule the interview as soon as possible.”
Haohao, I can’t explain to you in person, so I’ll declare it to the entire world instead.
“Yes.” The assistant quietly left Liang Chen’s room, stopping at the door, touching his head, perplexed. Mr. Liang has always shied away from media exposure. Despite numerous requests for interviews from the Jiangshan City TV Station, he had always declined. Why was he suddenly accepting now?
…
It was almost noon when Jing Haohao returned to the office.
Her colleagues, noticing her pallor, expressed their concerns before going down to the canteen for lunch.
Alone in the office, Jing Haohao stared at the computer screen, which still displayed the web page revealing Liang Chen’s scandal with Qian Hua. As she eyed the screen, she lowered her gaze to see an unread text message on her phone. It was from Liang Chen, asking if she had eaten breakfast.
If this had been yesterday – no, just a few hours ago – she would have eagerly, joyfully texted him back upon receiving such a message.
But now… all she felt when she saw the message was heartache.
Some people say that love is a gamble. The victor basks in lifelong happiness, while the loser endures unbearable pain.
Having tasted the bitter defeat of love once before, she was not ready to relive the agonizing experience.
Perhaps it was better to withdraw before she became too entangled to extract herself.
Jing Haohao stared at the screen for a long while before gently setting her phone down, choosing not to reply to Liang Chen’s message.
Knowing full well that there would be no happy ending and still choosing to love, that wasn’t a story, it was a disaster.
Just like a bird and a fish falling in love, one incapable of learning to fly, the other never understanding how to dive. This was a tragic accident, not a beautiful story.
