My World Is All about You

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Progesterone (3)_1 Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Progesterone (3)_1 This scene seemed peaceful on the surface, but Jing Haohao could clearly sense the tumultuous waves underlying the calm.

From across the table, she quietly observed Liang Chen, noticing how the dining man still exuded his unique royal charisma.

His fingers held the chopsticks, clean and neat, his well-maintained nails reflecting a sheen under the chandelier light that hung above the dining table.

Only when Liang Chen had finished eating his bowl of rice did Jing Haohao set down her chopsticks.

Liang Chen took a napkin, wiped the corners of his lips, and cast a brief eye at Jing Haohao’s bowl and chopsticks. He noted that her rice still looked as neat as when the waiter had brought it over.

Knowing the answer, Liang Chen purposefully inquired, “Why haven’t you eaten?”

Jing Haohao responded elusively, “Mr. Liang, it’s getting late. I still have to go home…”

Liangnian would call her promptly every night…Tonight she told him she was not feeling well…It wouldn’t be surprising if he went to visit her at her home…

So was she really so eager to get away from him?

A cold laugh rose up from the bottom of Liang Chen’s heart. Before Jing Haohao managed to finish her sentence, he was already calling the waiter over, ordering another bowl of rice, and then he proceeded to eat again with graceful composure.

Sitting across from him, Jing Haohao felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Liang Chen, seemingly doing it on purpose, was eating his rice slower and slower towards the end, almost picking out each grain of rice with his chopsticks.

Just when Jing Haohao was considering how to articulate her wish to leave, her mobile phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang.

Jing Haohao instinctively glanced at it and saw the name “Liangnian” on the display.

“Who’s calling?” At the moment Jing Haohao was picking up her phone and about to tell Liang Chen that she needed to take a call, he spoke up.

Jing Haohao gripped her phone tightly and did not answer Liang Chen’s question, instead she said, “I am going out to take a phone call.”

“No, answer it here,” said Liang Chen, setting down his bowl and chopsticks, glancing at the vibrating phone in Jing Haohao’s hand with the screen still glowing, continuing, “Is it Shen Liangnian?”

For the first time, Jing Haohao stayed silent.

Liang Chen seemed to be quite patient, he stared into her eyes as he waited for her to answer.

Even when the call on Jing Haohao’s phone finally stopped and all was silent again, she said nothing.

The phone paused for only a few seconds before it started ringing again.

Liang Chen kicked his chair back, stood up, walked around the table to Jing Haohao, and, stretched out his hand to snatch the phone straight from her hold.

“It really is Shen Liangnian…Why don’t you answer?”

On her mobile phone, Jing Haohao had set a photo of her kissing Shen Liangnian’s cheek as his contact picture, and on Shen Liangnian’s mobile, the photo was him kissing her.

Liang Chen looked at the photo on Jing Haohao’s phone screen, where she was happily kissing Shen Liangnian, and his gaze darkened, he chuckled lightly, looked up into Jing Haohao’s eyes and said, “Since you’re not answering, I’ll do it for you…”

Having said so, he reached to press the answer button.

“Don’t!” From her apartment entrance to bringing her here, Jing Haohao had been quiet and docile all along. Suddenly, she became as fierce as a little kitten, abruptly got up from her chair, stretched out her hands without thinking, and snatched the phone from Liang Chen’s grip.
