Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 734 - 293. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (4)

In the car.

Shrinking inside her coat, Lin Chu would sneak a glance at the driver’s seat every few minutes. Even when caught, she could come up with all sorts of excuses without batting an eye.

Lu Huai’an wasn’t bothered to respond, acting as if there was no one else in the car.

In the end, Lin Chu just stared at Lu Huai’an without blinking, as if trying to make up for the months she wouldn’t see him.

In a few days, school would start, and she was determined to get into An University on her own merit, to study the same major as he did. Who knows, she might sit at the same desk he once used.

Before the college entrance exam, she might not see him at all. So, even one more second of looking at him was a second well spent.

This handsome face that could make someone have a nosebleed, it’s never tiring to look at...

"Can I borrow your phone for a bit? It’s half-past eight, and I haven’t gone home. I couldn’t get through on the phone, and dad might be worried."

Upon hearing this, Lu Huai’an sneered, "Miss Lin can just hop in a taxi to the suburbs without notifying anyone, but now you’re worried your family might be concerned?"

And she could still sleep in the car!

A pampered young lady like her won’t see the world’s darkness unless she’s taught a hard lesson.

That ’Miss Lin’ was particularly sarcastic, and Lin Chu couldn’t help but roll her eyes. But she didn’t want him to notice, so she did it very cautiously, "I really know I was wrong. Could you stop scolding me, please?"

If he weren’t here, she’d only leave the warm bed if she was stuffed.

Lu Huai’an, turning the steering wheel, asked expressionlessly, "What word did I say is scolding you?"

"No, no, you’re right. Next time I go out, I’ll be sure to bring my brain," Lin Chu replied obediently. "Just let me borrow your phone for a bit, two minutes is all I need."

She had sneaked out and didn’t dare go home like this.

If she didn’t call Mr. Lin to report her whereabouts when she spent the night out, her legs would probably get broken.

"Don’t be so stingy. I won’t run up your phone bill. Unless you have some secret in your phone? You’re right here, where would I dare to snoop, right? So..."

"Shut your mouth!" Lu Huai’an cut her off coldly.

Her chattering made his head hurt. With a gesture of compromise, he took the phone out of the glove box, unlocked it, and tossed it to Lin Chu.

Lin Chu smiled victoriously and dialed Lin Zongjun’s number.

When the call connected, Mr. Lin’s deep voice came through, "Is this Huai’an?"

"It’s your daughter Lin Chu, dad."

Lin Zongjun had just returned home from the company and was still in the living room.

Accepting the tea handed to him by the housekeeper, he brought the phone in front of him. After confirming the caller ID was indeed Lu Huai’an’s, his brow furrowed deeply, "Weren’t you ’studying’ at the Ji Family? How come you’re with Lu Huai’an and using his phone to call me?"

The phrase ’studying’ was specially emphasized.

"Um... my phone ran out of battery, and Lu Huai’an came to discuss something with Brother Ji, so I just borrowed his phone..." When lying, her eyes would unintentionally dart around, an old habit of Lin Chu’s. "Dad, the snow outside is heavy and cold. Can I not come home today?"

If not going home, then where would she stay...

Perhaps due to the perfect assistance of the model student Ji Wanxia, Lin Zongjun did not doubt his daughter’s words, "Grandpa Ji’s health isn’t good, don’t stay up too late."

"Got it, dad. You rest early," Lin Chu replied sweetly.

After hanging up, she put the phone back into the glove box.

The car returned to silence.

Driving, Lu Huai’an looked steadily ahead at the road, his handsome face carrying a detachment not typical for his age, "Do you know you have habitual actions when lying?"

That day, when he called her outside the cake shop asking where she was, she was the same.

The question came abruptly, leaving Lin Chu dazed, "What?"

Lu Huai’an didn’t say more, just let out a cold chuckle, "...Heh."

Lin Chu was even more baffled.

She just didn’t get it—what did the cold chuckle mean without clarifying anything?

However, she had something important to ask of him, so such a trivial frustration could be ignored.

The handprint on her face hadn’t faded, and her forehead was bruised from bumping into the car door; even Lin Chu knew her face wasn’t looking its best now.

But... when seeking a favor, one should have the demeanor for it, so she forced out a somewhat cute smile, "Brother HuaiAn, can cute Lin ask you to do her a favor?"
