Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 739 - 294. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (5)_2

She started choosing her clothes and styling her hair from one-thirty. At her age, her face was full of collagen, and her delicate features made her a model for cosmetic surgery clinics. A little light makeup was just the icing on the cake.

When she arrived at the restaurant, it was still very early.

Lin Chu had reserved a seat by the window. The afterglow of the setting sun fell through the glass, casting a bright yet gentle light.

The beautiful girl with a smile on her brows sat alone in the corner, in a red dress, with fair skin, and blessed youthful vitality. She was like a dazzling flame, making patrons of the restaurant take a few more glances.

The sun set, and time passed second by second, the sky gradually darkening.

Equally dimming were Lin Chu’s clear and pure eyes.

Summer daylight was long, and by the time stars appeared in the night sky, it was long past the agreed-upon seven o’clock.

The tea in front of her was replaced four times. Every half an hour, the restaurant staff would ask if she needed to order. She said she wanted to wait for her boyfriend before ordering.

By ten o’clock at night, in this upscale restaurant, she had become a joke.

Because the person she waited for didn’t turn out to be Lu Huai’an, but Lu Huai’an’s assistant, Lun Jun.

"Miss Lin, Mr. Lu had something come up and couldn’t make it. He asked me to tell you not to wait for him any longer."

Don’t wait for him any longer...

The sentence held two meanings.

The surface meaning was easy to understand, so the surrounding diners whispered among themselves, wondering what kind of man would be so heartless to keep such a pretty girl waiting.

Throughout the afternoon, the joyful sparkle in her eyes was hard to look away from.

As for the deeper meaning, only Lin Chu understood.

She showed no angry expression; she simply smiled lightly and asked, "Since he knew I would wait here for him, why did he only send you to tell me now?"

"Well..." Lun Jun hesitated, "Miss Shen is appearing on a music show at nine tonight, and her debut performance is crucial for how the audience and all the major music platforms will perceive her. She is very nervous, and Mr. Lu went straight to the TV station after finishing work at the company and might have forgotten the time."

Today was the day of Shen Weiyi’s debut.

Lin Chu only remembered that it was her eighteenth birthday and forgot about this matter.

She nodded, "Oh, I see. You can go now."

As a daughter of the Lin Family, well-protected by Lin Zongjun, she was different from other children of wealthy families, without much scheming and calculation. Her simple and clean mind made her emotions of anger and happiness clearly visible on her face.

But now she showed little expression.

Because all her expectations and joy weren’t extinguished by a sudden downpour, but like the continuous drizzle of the southern rainy season, it gradually soaked her heart.

At seven-thirty, she thought he was probably stuck in traffic. She was on summer vacation, but Lu Huai’an was working.

At eight-thirty, she thought he was probably delayed by something important. He was always very busy.

At nine-thirty, she thought he would probably call her...

Even when she saw Lun Jun, she still thought maybe Lu Huai’an was genuinely busy with unavoidable engagements, so he sent Lun Jun over to inform her. No matter how late it got, he would come.

Lun Jun politely and respectfully said, "You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll wait outside while you eat, and then take you home."

The tea on the table had grown cold, so Lin Chu drank it without tasting much of anything. "My family isn’t so poor that we can’t afford a driver. Either find a seat or go outside because standing in front of me blocks the light and is annoying."

Lun Jun wasn’t dealing with Lin Chu for the first time, and he understood her temperament to some extent.

Since the Lin Family had drivers to pick her up, there wouldn’t be any issues.

Whether Miss Lin chose to stay or leave wasn’t something he could influence.

He nodded politely, "Then Miss Lin, please be careful going home. I’ll take my leave first."

Lin Chu gave a faint syllable in response, "Mm."

After Lun Jun left, Lin Chu called Jiang Muzhou.

She lay on the table, looking at the red and green neon lights outside the window, her gaze unfocused, her voice weak, "Zhouzhou, I’ve been stood up. It’s so embarrassing. Come rescue me on your white horse."

Two men sitting diagonally across from Lin Chu appeared to be An University students.

When they came to chat her up, she rebuffed them, and now they were watching her joke.

On the other end of the call, Jiang Muzhou was partying with his group of friends at a bar. All eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys, having so much fun they could forget their last names. Their ruckus was nearly enough to blow the roof off.
