Chapter 236: Heartache
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Three days passed. Jing Yao chatted with Liang Xun every morning for a few hours, as if she had endless topics to talk about, many of which were even meaningless.
If it weren’t for the fact that Liang Xun would occasionally reveal the fatigue in his eyes when he relaxed while chatting, they might have continued chatting.
Jing Yao knew that Liang Xun had been very tired these few days, so although she was reluctant, she still urged Liang Xun to go to bed.
After lunch, she knitted a scarf with Sun Jia. She even discussed it carefully with Sun Jia and the others. She didn’t want Liang Xun to know about this and give him a surprise.
Sun Jia’s expression changed. In order to let Liang Xun go on a business trip in peace, she had already taken a photo and sent it to Liang Xun.
Under Jing Yao’s expectant gaze, Sun Jia nodded with difficulty and could only pray that her son would be smarter when the time came.
On the fourth morning, Jing Yao waited on her cell phone for the entire morning and didn’t receive a call from Liang Xun until lunch.
Sun Jia came over early in the morning. Seeing that, she said to Jing Yao, “Call him.”
Jing Yao shook her head. “He didn’t call. He must be talking to someone.”
Sun Jia sighed, feeling both gratified and sorry.
Sometimes, Jing Yao was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.
Jing Yao did not dare to disturb Liang Xun, but she was worried. In the end, she sent Liang Xun a WeChat message.
Liang Xun didn’t reply. Jing Yao panicked even more, but she didn’t want Sun Jia and the others to see it, so she kept chatting with them with a smile.
However, her smile looked a little forced.
Sun Jia couldn’t stand it anymore and called Liang Xun herself.
The call went through, but the person who picked up was the temporary assistant the branch found for Liang Xun.
Knowing Sun Jia’s identity, she quickly explained that Liang Xun was negotiating with his partner and even promised to get Liang Xun to call her when he came out.
Sun Jia’s heart ached for her son again.
After hanging up, she told Jing Yao the situation.
Jing Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Then, her heart ached.
When he was at home, Liang Xun would often work late in the study.
Liang Xun still did not call until lunch.
Jing Yao ate without much appetite. Her eyes were fixed on the cell phone screen. When the screen finally lit up, she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and wanted to leave. contemporary romance
Sun Jia hurriedly stopped her. “Let’s sit here and pick it up.”
Jing Yao couldn’t refuse, so she could only agree and answer the call eagerly.
In the video Liang Xun made, he seemed to be sitting in the car. This time, he could not hide the fatigue on his face.
At this time, it was already past n p.m. in Country Y. Many people were already asleep.
Liang Xun’s face was still meticulous and he had shaved cleanly, but his eyes were clearly bloodshot. It was obvious that he had not slept for a long time.
Jing Yao opened her mouth and felt a lump in her throat. Before she could say anything, she choked.
There was no fatigue in Liang Xun’s voice. He had probably deliberately concealed it.
“What is Yaoyao doing?” His low and gentle voice was no different from usual.
Jing Yao lowered her head slightly and cleared her throat. Then she smiled and said, “I’m eating.”
Liang Xun chuckled and asked, “What delicious food did you eat?”
Jing Yao was slightly stunned. She didn’t notice that she was almost done eating.
She was distracted just now. She would eat whatever Sun Jia and the others picked up for her.
Jing Yao looked at the dishes on the table and reported them to Liang Xun.
Liang Xun listened patiently with a gentle smile.
After Jing Yao finished reporting the names of all the dishes, she suddenly said, “Liang Xun, did you encounter any problems at work?”
Liang Xun was slightly stunned. He smiled. “No, why would Yaoyao think that?”
Jing Yao whispered, “Otherwise, why are you still negotiating with the other party at this time?”
Liang Xun smiled without any flaws. “It’s not a negotiation. It’s just that the other party invited us to drink together tonight, so we’re here at this time. 1’11 be at the hotel soon.”
Jing Yao looked at Liang Xun suspiciously. “Really?”
Liang Xun nodded. “Of course.”
Jing Yao had carefully sized up Liang Xun’s expression. Liang Xun’s disguise was indeed very good, but he had not rested well for three to four days and had been working at a high frequency. He could not hide the fatigue on his face.
“Liang Xun, rest. I’m going to eat,” Jing Yao suddenly said.
Liang Xun opened his mouth, wanting to tell Jing Yao that he didn’t need to rest, but he didn’t in the end. He just nodded. “Alright, Yaoyao, eat more. We’ll see each other soon..”
