?Chapter 254: Chapter 255: Let me thank you for gifting me with false joy (6)_1 Chapter 254: Chapter 255: Let me thank you for gifting me with false joy (6)_1 Liang Chen kept his head low, staring at Jing Haohao: “Had enough tantrum?”
Jing Haohao looked back at him. She showed no signs of submission. In a surprisingly calm voice she asked, “When will you let me go? When will this end? I don’t love you, and you don’t love me. What’s the point of this relentless entanglement? I want to die, but I’m forced to live in torment by your side.”
Since she came home, she had spoken only a handful of sentences to him, all essentially asking when he would let her go. The moment he learned she was leaving, he felt extreme discontent. But he endured it, just like the last few times, trying to control his temper.
He had spent his life being pampered by others. When had he ever been wronged for another’s sake? But after meeting her, he made painstaking efforts to please her. His efforts fell flat, and she accused him of tormenting her.
A simmering volcano of indignation, culminated over time, exploded within him.
Suppressing his urge to strangle Jing Haohao, Liang Chen rolled off her and dragged her by her wrist out of the bed and to the standing mirror. He pressed her body forcefully against the mirror, pointing at her blemished white skin, “Look at these. What are they?”
Her body was covered in marks he left, like brands, inscribed ruthlessly onto her skin.
Jing Haohao glanced at it, then averted her gaze.
Liang Chen extended his hand, straightened her face towards the mirror, chuckled and said, “Take a good look, Haohao. Every inch of your body is marked by me. You ask me when I’ll let you go – are you still dreaming of Shen Liangnian?”
As he finished, he released Jing Haohao, strolled to the nearby sofa, picked up her bag, took out her phone, scrolled through it briefly, and found a picture of Qiao Wennuan and Shen Liangnian lying naked together. Waving the photo before her, he remarked, “Didn’t you wait at the airport for him this afternoon? What was the outcome?”
Liang Chen always had a sharp tongue, returning each jab tenfold: “I thought he was deeply in love with you. Yet, in the end, he was with another woman performing the same acts I had done with you. Perhaps Qiao Wennuan was also covered with Shen Liangnian’s marks, just like you now.”
Liang Chen’s words were like a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing the softest part of Jing Haohao’s heart. As she stared at the photograph of Shen Liangnian and Qiao Wennuan on her phone, hearing Liang Chen’s mockery, she inexplicably broke into a smile – a smile more pained than any weeping.
She had already cried her eyes out this afternoon when she learned the news. Now, she just steadily raised her head, looking at Liang Chen. With a noticeably pale face, she stated, “Yes, he is with another woman. There is no going back for us, but so what? Even if we can’t be together, I have no desire to be with you.”
