Then her ears caught the word "Chen..." coming from the mouth of Shen Liangnian.
The tone of Shen Liangnian was steady and moderate, but it sounded like a thunderclap in Jing Haohao's ears, buzzing with the echoes of the words Liang Chen had said to her one night:
"Woman, what are you doing in my room?"
"Did you throw yourself at me? Hehe... How boring..."
"Don't tell me, you entered the wrong room, don't you think that's a lame excuse?"
"Then repay me with your body..."
Jing Haohao's hands and feet turned icy cold in an instant.
Liang Chen... Liang Chen... That was the man whose silhouette alone was like an exquisite painting, it was Liang Chen!
The man who, on that fateful night at the Four Seasons Hotel, forcefully took away her innocence after asking her to repay him!
He who the people of Jiangshan City jokingly dubbed "Emperor"!
Jing Haohao's whole body trembled uncontrollably, she tried hard to hide her fear, to make herself look composed, but her heart, which only managed to calm down after three days, was set into turmoil once again.
There was a world of difference between Liang Chen and her. After that night, she thought it would be hard for them to see each other again. She believed that everything was just in the past, all she needed was to be honest with Liangnian, and if he could forgive and accept her, they could still be together as before.
That night with Liang Chen would only sink like a dirty stain into the river of memory.
But... Why, after only three short days, did she and he... bump into each other like this?
And... he was Shen Liangnian's friend!
Jing Haohao felt her world was completely in chaos. She stood there, stiff and spellbound, greeting Liang Chen.
"Haohao... what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and say hello to Mr. Liang!" Shen Liangnian, appearing in high spirits, held Jing Haohao by the waist and said to Liang Chen.
Jing Haohao snapped back to reality and realized that she had almost lost her composure. She swallowed nervously, removed her gaze from Liang Chen's face, lowered her eyes, and after her lips moved for a while, she finally said softly, "Mr. Liang, hello."
Her voice was so soft that as the banquet hall filled up with more people, it was drowned out by the ensuing chaos.
Liang Chen didn't say anything, just raised his head to keep staring at Jing Haohao, his gaze appearing indifferent, but subtly scrutinized the woman in front of him.
She was wearing a mid-length white dress, under which, the straps of her flesh-colored underwear could barely be seen. Her hair was simply tied up, with no fancy jewelry on her neck and wrists. The shining high heels were probably the most eye-catching item she had on.
She had a small face with big eyes, apart from those eyes, he had carefully examined her face that night.
So, he directly stared back into her eyes. That night, he did imagine what her eyes looked like, but when he actually saw them, he was genuinely taken aback.
She had a small face with large eyes that were mostly black, making her skin appear more radiant and clear.
