Liang Chen stared at the ceiling, silent, eyes shut, taking a deep breath. Perhaps, because it was too hurried, it choked him, causing him to cough harshly a few times.
Eventually, he suppressed his cough, straightened up, looked at Cong Rong, and said, "Don't tell her about this. She still doesn't know."
After a pause, Liang Chen continued, "And don't tell anyone else. It'll only cause unnecessary commotion. In the end, if she's the last one to know, it will upset her. I don't want her to feel that way."
Liang Chen called the waiter to pay the bill and stood up: "It's getting late. She has been waiting for me downstairs for quite a while, I should leave now."
...
As Liang Chen walked out of Drunken Fairy Building, he immediately spotted Jing Haohao standing by the roadside.
The woman, leaning on a street light, gazed quietly at the cars passing by as if lost in thought. So engrossed she did not even notice his approach.
