The color drained from Qiao Wennuan's face as she listened to the man's words.
She had followed him for two years, not asking to be his girlfriend publicly, willingly engaging in their clandestine relationship, only to be abandoned in the end. . .
Unconsciously, Qiao Wennuan's hand clenched into a tight fist.
Shen Liangnian looked at the silent Qiao Wennuan for a while, then averted his eyes. "Weren't you waiting for the new Chanel summer collection? I'll have my secretary buy it for you tomorrow. Consider it as me accompanying you shopping tomorrow. Afterwards... don't look for me anymore," he said.
Having finished speaking, Shen Liangnian let go of Qiao Wennuan's hand, picked up his clothes from the side, and started dressing.
Qiao Wennuan did not speak during this time. The only sound in the room came from Shen Liangnian as he gathered his things.
It was only after Shen Liangnian had grabbed his car keys and left the hotel room, that Qiao Wennuan made a move. In the moment the door closed behind him, she turned over, picked up her phone from the side and dialed a number.
As soon as the call was connected, Qiao Wennuan blurted out anxiously, "How did the task I assigned you tonight go?"
"Jing Haohao drank the wine we had laced with a sedative successfully. She was discreetly escorted off the banquet scene, it's just that..." The person on the other line hesitated upon reaching this part.
A shade of unease loomed over Qiao Wennuan. She frowned and questioned sternly, "What do you mean by 'just that'?"
"It's just... it's just the waiter who was supposed to take Jing Haohao to room 1312 in the Four Seasons Hotel, seems to have used the master key and accidentally opened the wrong door. So... so, we are not sure if Jing Haohao was taken to room 1314 or 1310 instead..."
"What a bunch of idiots! Can't even handle such a simple task!"
"Ms. Qiao, don't worry... We still have another banquet in a few days, we can try again..."
"You guys are just as dumb as I said. Do you think Jing Haohao is an imbecile? We were able to trick her because she was completely unsuspecting. The next time you encounter Jing Haohao, I fear it'll be one of you that ends up drugged, taken to a room, and taken advantage of by a man!" Qiao Wennuan cursed frantically, then violently hung up. Without a second thought, she hurled her phone against the wall.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was ruined. . . Had it been successful, she would have been able to obtain the videos of Jing Haohao with other men tonight. All she needed to do was hand those videos to Shen Liangnian. She did not believe that Shen Liangnian would stay with Jing Haohao after seeing those!
In about ten days, it would be Jing Haohao's birthday. Shen Liangnian was planning to propose to her then. Was she supposed to just watch idly as the man she loved deeply got together with another woman?
Upon thinking this, Qiao Wennuan grabbed at the blanket, crumpling it into a ball out of her firm grip.
She would not let this matter rest. Shen Liangnian was the man she had loved at first sight. She had plenty of patience. She would think of any possible way to have Shen Liangnian break off ties with Jing Haohao and willingly be with her!
