Jing Haohao didn't speak, simply tracing her lips into a small smile. It was a self-mocking smile, as though she were also mocking him.
A tinge of pain prickled in Liang Chen's heart.
He knew that she must resent him even more now. But he merely wanted her to stay, not caring who she loved. As long as he loved her, that was enough.
Liang Chen closed his eyes, not saying a word. After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and said, "Haohao, let's go back to Jiangshan City."
Jing Haohao didn't respond.
Liang Chen didn't press her. He just fixed his gaze on Jing Haohao.
After a long silence, Jing Haohao chuckled without humor. She raised her head, revealing her clear and striking countenance. Her eyes were achingly bright, a soft dimple appearing on her cheek when she smiled. She was stunningly beautiful.
Yet, despite her beauty, the words that came out of her mouth were particularly titillating and hurtful.
