Chapter 1108: Chapter 1128: I Won’t Give Up That Easily

However, the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Shaochen, this is your own choice, don’t blame me," she murmured to herself.

At the bar.

Liang Shaochen held a glass of whiskey, non-stop pouring it down his throat.

In the corner, there was a band softly playing and singing occasionally.

Liao Ping sat next to Liang Shaochen, watching his desolate expression, his brows furrowing.

With concern, he said, "Young master, you’ve already drunk a lot. You shouldn’t drink any more."

Liang Shaochen seemed not to hear, only drinking on his own.

At that moment, the phone beside him rang again.

Liao Ping glanced at it and said to Liang Shaochen, "Young master, Miss Zhong Li has called many times already, you..."

Suddenly, Liang Shaochen burst into laughter.

"Why... why isn’t it her? Why... what did I do wrong for her to treat me like this?"

"Young master." Liao Ping knew it was again about Miss Xiaonuan.

Ever since he found out that the real Xia Qiqi was Young Madam Nangong, he was also shocked. But more than that, he was worried. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Worried for the young master’s future, and for the Liang Family as a whole.

Because competing with Prince Nangong for a woman was akin to playing with fire.

Yet, that woman happened to be the one the young master couldn’t forget, whom he missed endlessly.

How could there be such a thing in this world?

If he hadn’t experienced it firsthand, Liao Ping would have thought it was just like a movie.

The air was filled with the aroma of smoke and various alcohol scents.

Liao Ping sighed slightly, reached out, and grabbed Liang Shaochen’s wine glass.

"Young master, you can’t go on like this. At least you still have Miss Nangong now, she is wholeheartedly committed to you. Why can’t you try to accept her? All along, it was you who shut your heart for Miss Qiqi. If you would just open a little crack, maybe sunshine would flood in."

Liang Shaochen’s body stiffened slightly.

Sunshine would flood in?

He curled his lips into a bitter smile.

Losing Qiqi was like losing the whole world.

What would be the point of sunshine?

He just propped his head with his hand. Today, he originally didn’t want to give her that necklace, but... thinking that it was originally prepared for her.

Giving that necklace to anyone else would be unfair.

So, in the end, he secretly gave it to her.

Even if she threw it away, it would at least give closure to the past.

From now on, he feared, there really would be no entanglements with her.

The phone rang again.

Liang Shaochen, annoyed, snatched the phone and turned it off.

Then, thinking of something, he said to Liao Ping, "Go to the mall and buy something for me."

Liao Ping was taken aback, then nodded. "Yes, young master."

Liang Shaochen’s fingers caressed the wine glass, his pupils deep and complex.

Xia Xiaonuan, since only a king who possesses everything can have you. Then I am willing to pay any necessary price.

No matter what it takes, even by all means.

Xia Xiaonuan, one day I will make you understand that in this world, it’s not only Nangong Yaoling who can give you happiness.

Even if you never plan to be Qiqi again.

I will still prove to you that I, Liang Shaochen, am the man who loves you the most in this world.

Your choice today is a mistake!

Xiaonuan, I will not give up just like this, never!
