Shen Liangnian chuckled, saying, "Just so happens, today is Mr. Liang's mother's birthday banquet, she is also here, I just thought to bring her over for you to have a look. But let me clarify, she is easily embarrassed, don't scare her."
"Look at how protective you are of her, don't worry, we will treat her respectfully like a fairy."
Shen Liangnian tilted his mouth, chuckled again, then turned to Liang Chen and said, "I will be back shortly."
Liang Chen had an indifferent expression on his face. He nodded lightly without saying a word, seeming a bit absent-minded. He didn't show any interest in the woman who Shen Liangnian was about to marry.
...
"Liangnian, do you have time after the banquet?" Jing Haohao thought, that night's incident would have to be mentioned sooner or later. After so many years of feelings with Shen Liangnian, she found no need to keep hiding it.
Even though in her heart, she wanted to act as if nothing happened to cover it up, but she knew, she couldn't hide it, and she didn't want to lie to Shen Liangnian either.
"Yes." Shen Liangnian instantly agreed, then put his arm around Jing Haohao's shoulders and as they walked towards the banquet hall he said, "Haohao, your twenties birthday is approaching. I once promised you that when you turn twenty, I would give you a title. Therefore, today I am bringing you to meet some of my good friends..."
Shen Liangnian was talking and leading Jing Haohao to a row of soft seats.
"Ah, back so soon? Liangnian, introduce us. What's her name?" The sharp-eyed Cong Rong was the first to speak up.
Shen Liangnian hugged Jing Haohao's waist and said to the few people in front of him, "Her last name is Jing, first name Haohao."
Then, Shen Liangnian turned his body, whispered and introduced to Jing Haohao, "The one who talks a lot is Cong Rong, the Director of Jiangshan Municipal Law Bureau is his father..."
Following Shen Liangnian's explanation, Jing Haohao raised her head to look at the people sitting in front of her.
This man called Cong Rong had a pair of upturned phoenix eyes, looking like a merry dandy. By his side was an older man whom Shen Liangnian said was a leader from Beijing.
Jing Haohao smiled and nodded at these two men, then her gaze followed Shen Liangnian's introduction and landed on the man sitting across them.
The man was looking at his phone with his head lowered, his fingers constantly sliding across the screen. He dressed in a well-draped white shirt that was cool and fit to his form, subtly revealing an aura that was both noble and fascinating.
Jing Haohao had dibs in the entertainment circle. Although she wasn't famous, she had worked with many popular male stars and saw plenty of handsome men. Yet, the man in front of her made her amazed by his posture alone, even before she could see his face.
"Haohao, this is my future collaborator, well-known emperor of Jiangshan City..." Shen Liangnian's introduction was not yet complete when Liang Chen casually raised his head, nodded in Jing Haohao's direction, his demeanor distant and indifferent. He didn't even glance at Jing Haohao before he dropped his gaze and continued to look at his phone.
His move was rather quick, Jing Haohao couldn't catch a clear glimpse of his face, she just greeted out of politeness, "Nice to meet you..."
Jing Haohao instinctively looked at Shen Liangnian as she didn't hear the name.
The woman's voice was very gentle.
Liang Chen felt it familiar, but couldn't remember where he had heard it from. He frowned slightly, raised his head again, and swept his gaze over Jing Haohao's face. Then he saw a familiar face as charming as a lotus flower presenting itself before his eyes.
It was her...The woman who broke into his room at the Four Seasons Hotel three days ago?
Seeing Jing Haohao's gaze, Shen Liangnian immediately continued, "Liang..."
Before he could finish, Jing Haohao clearly saw Liang Chen's lifted countenance, then all at once, she froze ——
