Chapter 775 -776 Proposal (18)_1

Liang Chen’s straightforward response left a faint air of embarrassment on Lin Yan, who had proposed a toast to him. However, Lin Yan quickly regained her composure, hoisted her wine glass, tapped it against Liang Chen’s, and drained it in one gulp. Liang Chen, on the other hand, merely raised his glass in acknowledgment. The smile on his face was radiant yet strangely tinged with cold detachment. “I’m sorry, but I can’t drink. I’m afraid if my girlfriend learned about it, she wouldn’t be happy,” he said.

Concealing her disappointment, Lin Yan merely flashed a smile, dared not to overstep any bounds, and obediently returned to her seat.

Despite the general disappointment that Jiangshan City’s “Young Emperor” was already spoken for, some out of curiosity courageously asked, “Mr. Liang has a girlfriend? How come she’s not here today?”

With a faint smile, Liang Chen softly turned his head, his gaze meeting Jing Haohao’s.

He truly wished to bring his girlfriend out confidently for them to see. Regrettably, knowing that his older brother and sister-in-law were attending the wedding today proved too intimidating for her, and she couldn’t bring herself to stand by his side.

Jing Haohao, caught under Liang Chen’s gaze, felt her breath hitch, and she instinctively lowered her head. Then she heard a woman, her voice tinged with envy, say, “Mr. Liang’s girlfriend must be stunningly beautiful. Perhaps Mr. Liang does not want to bring her out because he wishes to emulate Emperor Wu, keeping his lover hidden away.”

Liang Chen turned his head and glanced at the woman who spoke. His reply was calm and leisurely, “Hiding away a lover is merely a sweet pledge. After all, didn’t Emperor Wu end up deposing Empress Chen Jiao? I could never make an empty promise to my girlfriend.”

Jing Haohao, with her head slightly lowered, felt a warmth wash over her when she heard these words.

Promises may be sweet, but they are eventually broken.

The man she loves is informing her that whatever he says, he will do.

Perhaps since no one expected Liang Chen to actually answer these gossip questions, others grew more emboldened and asked, “So, in Mr. Liang’s eyes, his girlfriend is like Wei Zifu?”

Compared to Empress Chen Jiao, Wei Zifu indeed remained by Emperor Wu’s side for numerous years.

A sad pity, the final outcome was tragic… since Wei Zifu, due to Emperor Wu’s distrust, was driven to suicide and met a terribly pitiful end.

Liang Chen slightly pursed his lips, clearly showing a hint of displeasure at the comparison of Jing Haohao and himself to Emperor Wu and his women. “My girlfriend is not as virtuous as Wei Zifu…”

As he said this, Jing Haohao, who was seated across from him, shot him a discontented glare.

Unfazed, Liang Chen continued, “Besides, I love it when my girlfriend shows her jealousy for me.”

Pausing for a moment, Liang Chen made a turn in his words: “However, I am not Emperor Wu, nor would my girlfriend be Wei Zifu or Empress Chen Jiao because I would never break my word to her, nor distrust her.”

Jing Haohao knew that the last two sentences Liang Chen said were about the tragic endings of Empress Chen Jiao and Wei Zifu respectively.

“It seems like Mr. Liang really loves his girlfriend a lot.”

Just as Liang Chen was about to nod in agreement and say “of course,” a familiar voice suddenly rang out: “Ah Chen, so you’re here?”

When Jing Haohao heard this voice, her hand trembled, and the bamboo stick in her hand fell onto the plate.
