Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 733 - 292. 【Heartbreaking Fairy Tale】Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (3)_4
Knowing that her tear-streaked face and disheveled hair probably didn’t look good, she hugged his waist tightly and buried her face deep into the man’s embrace.
She felt his warmth, and her inner fear silently dissipated, "I knew you would come."
The girl still wore her pants, but her sweater, the only thing left on her upper body, had been torn beyond recognition, hanging crookedly on her. In the light, the bruises on her forehead and the slap marks on her cheeks were horrifying.
Lu Huai’an’s dark eyes were shadowed and sinister.
His fists clenched, as if suppressing something.
His dark eyes closed briefly, and when they reopened, there were no emotions left to explore on the surface.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s over," Lu Huai’an patted the girl’s back, then pulled her out of his embrace and draped his coat over her, "Besides your forehead, where else are you hurt? Can you walk?"
Lin Chu sniffled, looking at the man standing at the car door pitifully, "My legs are weak, can you carry me?"
Her slim body was wrapped in the wide coat, her eyes swollen, with tears still clinging to her cheeks, making her look particularly pitiful.
In Lu Huai’an’s memory, he seemed to never have seen Lin Chu cry, though she had faked crying many times.
Tonight, she must have been really frightened.
Lu Huai’an said nothing, bent down to lift the still-shivering Lin Chu, glanced casually at the driver lying in the snow groaning in pain, and then strode toward his car.
Lin Chu was placed in the passenger seat, Lu Huai’an turned on the heater. Her cold body slowly recovered under the coat.
"That pervert isn’t doing it for the first time, who knows how many girls he’s harmed," Lin Chu stared through the car’s windshield at the driver lying motionless in the snow.
She had never been bullied like this growing up, and to say that she wasn’t vengeful would be a lie.
But she didn’t want this pervert to die, because even though he was despicable enough to deserve it, the punishment should come from the state. If he died at Lu Huai’an’s hands, the law would definitely pursue it.
Grandpa Lu came from the military and valued reputation above all else. If Lu Huai’an got involved in a lawsuit, the Lu Family’s inheritance rights...
Lin Chu reached out from the coat, grabbed the man’s suit jacket, and gently tugged, "Will he die?"
The bottled water in the car was cold, Lu Huai’an unscrewed the cap, then screwed it back again, thinking she shouldn’t drink it, since her body was still shivering.
The girl’s pale fingers pinched the edge of the black suit jacket, a very pitiful gesture.
Lu Huai’an averted his gaze, and said flatly, "He won’t die, but he won’t live either."
Not dead, but not living—that meant only ’a fate worse than death.’
Lin Chu wasn’t a saintly white lotus; such scum was just wasting air by existing, dying easily would be too merciful.
She didn’t want to recall those few minutes of fear and despair, so she changed the topic, "Weren’t you at the construction site? How could you come and rescue me in time? Brother HuaiAn, you actually like me, don’t you? I..."
"Lin Chu, did your brain grow?" Lu Huai’an’s cold voice interrupted Lin Chu’s joyful words.
Startled by the sudden gloom in the man’s black eyes, Lin Chu instinctively pulled her hand from his jacket into the coat, trying to discreetly curl herself into a corner.
Even if it was her wishful thinking, why was he so angry?
She was clearly a bit confused, stammering in reply, "G- grew... I guess?"
"In four months you’ll be an adult, which adult has a brain like yours?" Lu Huai’an sneered, leaning forward.
His finger with defined joints pinched the girl’s chin, "Haven’t you read the news? Don’t you know there’s a suspect in An City recently, targeting female students for sexual assaults? Running off to the outskirts during Spring Festival with your phone off, are you eager to be raped and killed?"
After Lin Chu left the Lu Family’s old residence, Shen Weiyi had called Lu Huai’an.
Even if there was a traffic jam, he should have arrived at the construction site long ago, but as the night darkened, there was still no sign of Lin Chu.
Lu Huai’an knew Lin Chu well, since she found out his location, she would definitely come.
With the phone unreachable, and no sign of her—that meant something was wrong.
The force applied to her jaw increased, cold sharp breaths clouded her eyes and nose, Lin Chu felt somewhat aggrieved, her moist eyes starting to redden.
Her lips moved slightly, speaking the words, "I lost my mind, but it’s only because I wanted to see you so much..."
The girl’s tearful and pitiful appearance, even with Lu Huai’an’s temper, left him unable to get angry at this time.
He laughed in anger, "This is rare, even when scolded you don’t retort, usually you are quite stubborn huh?"
Lin Chu blinked, "Zhouzhou said men like gentle girls."
Zhouzhou...
Lu Huai’an’s expression instantly cooled.
"I don’t like it," he released the fingers pinching her chin and returned to the driver’s seat, seemingly thinking her intelligence couldn’t understand, he reiterated, "I don’t like you."
His voice was indifferent, without a hint of emotion.
Though Lin Chu wasn’t hearing this for the first time, she was inevitably saddened, curling in the corner silently, looking sorrowfully at the man’s chiseled profile.
She told herself: It’s okay, I like you, that’s enough. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Lu Huai’an finished half a bottle of water, and the girl was still staring at him. Maybe annoyed by her gaze, he warned expressionlessly, "Turn your head, keep looking and I’ll throw you out of the car."
Lin Chu pouted, obediently turning her head, "...Oh."
She suddenly began to suspect if the gentleness and pity in Lu Huai’an’s eyes when he dealt with that horrid driver and walked toward her were just her illusions.
Even that phrase ["don’t be afraid, it’s over"], might be her imagination.
He still was the cold Lu Huai’an, the Lu Huai’an who disliked Lin Chu.
The car returned to silence.
Lin Chu obediently huddled in the coat, not speaking or moving much, and Lu Huai’an seated in the driver’s seat was equally quiet.
Not until the police arrived, did Lu Huai’an push open the car door and step out.
They stood just two or three meters away, the car windows tightly shut, Lin Chu couldn’t hear any additional noise, so she didn’t know what Lu Huai’an was saying to the police.
Four police cars came, all the officers stood before Lu Huai’an, even the youngest was at least five years older than him.
Yet, Lu Huai’an carried the most intense aura.
The snow had not ceased, fluttering down from above.
Lin Chu watched the man’s tall back intently.
This was a desolate wilderness, and the pervert who tried to attack her was outside, yet she felt very much at ease.
