My World Is All about You

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Counter Moves (1)_1 Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Counter Moves (1)_1 Just as Jing Haohao was racking her brains for a foolproof plan, her phone suddenly rang.

Every night before she fell asleep, Shen Liangnian would certainly give Jing Haohao a call, so Jing Haohao subconsciously thought it was Shen Liangnian, didn’t even look at the phone screen, and answered it straight away. She habitually called out: “Liangnian?”

“…” On the other end of the phone came nothing but silence.

Jing Haohao frowned, sensing something was off, she picked up her phone to check the caller ID. To her surprise, it was a strange number, with a string of eights and zeroes, easy to remember.

“Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?”

Jing Haohao asked politely into the phone for the second time.

The silence continued on the other end of the call but this time the call was abruptly disconnected before Jing Haohao could say anything more.

Jing Haohao listened to the busy tone on her phone, assuming it was a mistake, and casually tossed her phone aside.

…

Liang Chen tossed his phone carelessly onto his large bed, lay down in a foul mood, and covered his face with the blanket.

He had encountered many women. Although he had always disregarded them, out of necessity business dealings took him to places like nightclubs and bars. He had seen all forms of businessmen accompanied by female celebrities, news anchors, and even seemingly innocent college girls.

Not that he considered himself superior, but from adolescence, his world had been filled with women showering him with attention, one after another, never ending.

He even remembered a certain goddess-like senior student back when he was in middle school in Beijing. The boys in his grade called her Fairy. After a school gala one time, she dropped her usual elegant demeanor and brazenly invited him to spend the night with her.

After repeated “battles” with these determined women, he didn’t have a chance to develop any romantic feelings for any woman, let alone to kiss or sleep with one. But he had grown weary of their charms.

Consequentially, he wasn’t even of age yet, but could already maintain his composure in the presence of alluring faces.

So, for years, women have been something he could live with or without.

Now in his mid-twenties, not only has he never had a girlfriend, he hasn’t even had a female companion.

He always believed that he would never have much interest in the female species in his whole life.

But now… this woman named Jing Haohao… seemed to have managed to spark a bit of interest in him.

And yet… this woman, already had a boyfriend…

In his whole life, when had he ever made a phone call to a woman, except for her? He didn’t even get a chance to figure out what to say before she answered the phone, already calling out, “Liangnian”.

Liangnian?

As if she wanted the whole world to know her boyfriend is Liangnian?

Boyfriend… huh… Her first time was with him… Does her boyfriend know that?
