A surge of anger suddenly rose within Liang Chen. His temper was indeed not the best, but he usually managed to control it. Even though he was not particularly interested in women, it didn't mean he wasn't a gentleman. But his interaction with Jing Haohao changed everything. He felt like he had become a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
He couldn't pinpoint her knack for effortlessly triggering his anxiety and anger.
The moment he had walked through the door and saw her, his heart leapt with a brief moment of joy. But that joy surrendered to realization. She had eagerly awaited his arrival simply for the sake of Shen Liangnian. He walked upstairs with a stern face, as if she were no more than air to him.
