Chapter 773 -774 Proposal (16)_1
In the middle of the event, the bride and groom came around for a toast. Everyone exchanged sincere blessings amidst laughter and joy.
As the bride and groom, arm in arm and grinning merrily, left the scene, the focus of the guests’ discussions shifted from entertainment industry gossip to the bride herself.
“Gao Lu sure is lucky, she managed to marry a rich second-generation heir.”
“You can’t just chalk it up to luck. It’s more about what’s in her belly. She’s pregnant, and with twins no less, a boy and a girl! This kind of fortune is once in a blue moon. Who wouldn’t want a pair of dragon-phoenix twins? She’s definitely gotten her foot in the door.”
“Cut to the chase, they are marrying her just because of the kids in her belly.”
“If she wasn’t carrying those twins, she would have been just another plaything to be discarded.”
“Who knows if she pulled some trick to get pregnant with the twins.”
“There’s not much there to be envious of. Don’t be fooled by appearances. She may be in the limelight now, but just give it a couple of days and her husband’s affairs with other women will come to light. Who knows, they might get a divorce after the children are born…”
…
As the conversation continued, the air became thick with envy and animosity.
Jing Haohao merely smiled, holding her wine glass and refraining from joining in the conversation.
…
“Sorry to interrupt…”
Suddenly, a gentle voice emanated from behind Jing Haohao, cutting through the ceaseless chatter.
Turning around, Jing Haohao saw Liang Chen, dressed immaculately in a suit and tie, radiating an air of elegant aloofness. “There’s a barbecue over there,” he said, his tone detached. “Would you like to join us?”
All the attendees knew Liang Chen. Seeing him approach personally, the actresses in attendance immediately straightened up, their faces taking on a restrained smile as they nodded slightly.
Liang Chen acknowledged them with an emotionless nod. His gaze landed on Jing Haohao for a moment before he turned and walked back towards the barbecue grill.
The actresses stood up and made their way towards the grill. A lesser-known actress who was on good terms with Jing Haohao pulled her along to join them.
The barbecue table was long with women on one side and men on the other. Whether by chance or by design, Liang Chen was seated directly opposite Jing Haohao.
Every actress at the event had their attention on Liang Chen. But, the man’s aloofness and unattainable aura deterred any of them from initiating any sort of conversation.
Even though they tried to hide it, some onlookers keenly noticed Jing Haohao. One lifted a wine glass towards her, asking her directly, possibly due to alcohol’s influence, “You’re very beautiful. Could we possibly become friends?”
Jing Haohao gave a composed smile, lifted her wine glass, and took a sip, not bothering to clink glasses with the one who greeted her.
As Jing Haohao set her glass down, she noticed Liang Chen, the man sitting across from her, fixing an intense gaze on her, as if monitoring her.
Jing Haohao felt odd. She had only had a sip of wine. Why did she feel as though she’d been caught in the act by Chen’s stare?
Despite Jing Haohao’s coldness, the man did not retreat but instead asked, “Can I ask you a personal question, do you have a boyfriend?”
Well, that indeed was a personal question.
Jing Haohao subconsciously looked towards Liang Chen.
He was staring intently at her, his eyes filled with hopeful anticipation.
