Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 743 - 295. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (6)_2

I don’t know how far it is from home, but Lin Chu’s mood, which had been miserable all night, seemed to improve a bit because of that kiss.

Even though it was one-sided, even knowing he actually disliked it, if not for holding her with no free hands, he would definitely have twisted her arm and thrown her far away.

She softly asked, "So do you like Shen Weiyi? Will you marry her?"

Lu Huai’an looked at her without any emotional upheaval, his voice indifferent, "That’s my business, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Chu pouted, "...Oh."

Neither of them spoke again.

When they arrived outside the Lin Family’s house, the villa was still lit. Her father was waiting for his daughter to come home.

Lu Huai’an placed Lin Chu on the ground, and only then did she notice something amiss beneath her feet.

Holding onto the man’s arms with both hands to barely stand steady, she looked down at her feet intimately touching the cobblestones, bewildered, and asked, "Lu Huai’an, where are my shoes?"

"If the cleaning crew isn’t working late at night, your shoes should still be on the street."

Lin Chu, "..."

She recalled something. It seemed she threw her high heels out of the car herself.

"Those were a birthday gift from my dad. Didn’t you even think to scold me when you watched me acting drunk? I don’t care; you have to help me find my shoes."

Her tone was assertive, with a hint of irrationality.

"No time."

Lu Huai’an’s patience had run out. After saying those three words indifferently, he lifted his hand to ring the doorbell before Lin Chu could even react.

Lin Zongjun hadn’t slept, sitting in the living room waiting for Lin Chu to return.

When the butler opened the door, he saw Lu Huai’an with a furrowed brow first, then his own young lady leaning weakly against him.

Lin Zongjun put down his tea cup and walked to the door. The butler quickly stepped aside to make way. He paused for a moment seeing Lu Huai’an but quickly regained his calm demeanor.

His voice was warm, "Ah, it’s Huai’an. Did Xiao Chu cause you any trouble? It’s late, and I’m sorry to trouble you to bring her back."

As he spoke, Lin Zongjun took his groggy daughter from Lu Huai’an’s hands. Seeing as she was about to collapse, the butler behind her quickly stepped forward to support her.

In that instant of noticing Lin Chu’s instability, Lu Huai’an instinctively lifted his hand, a natural reflex, unrelated to anything else.

The butler’s movement was larger, accompanied by exaggerated gasps. Even though Lu Huai’an’s reaction was faster, he did not help Lin Chu.

His raised hand lingered in the air for two seconds before withdrawing.

This action was caught by Lin Zongjun.

"It’s no trouble, I was just passing by to see a friend," Lu Huai’an’s voice was calm and steady as he stepped back slightly, remaining polite, "It’s getting late, you should rest early. I’ll take my leave first."

He showed no intention of coming in for tea.

At this hour, it indeed wasn’t appropriate, so Lin Zongjun didn’t insist, "Take care on your way. Thank you today. This girl has become daring, drinking until she can’t even stand. I apologize, and I’ll personally come and thank you another day."

Lu Huai’an did not look at Lin Chu, nodding politely, "You’re welcome."

As the man’s tall silhouette almost vanished from view, Lin Chu, leaning in her father’s arms in a daze, finally reacted, lifting her arm and waving, "Goodbye."

Of course, she wouldn’t receive any response.

...

Lin Chu was carried to her room on the second floor by Lin Zongjun.

Getting older, just the distance of climbing the stairs had him panting heavily.

"You went out clean and came back smelling awful. I allowed you to celebrate with friends, not drink until you couldn’t walk. Tomorrow when you’re sober, your father will deal with you."

Though a reprimand, it was still full of indulgence.

Lin Zongjun directed the servants to bathe Lin Chu, staying in the hallway until the sobering tea was ready. Only then did he enter Lin Chu’s room.

Lin Chu obediently drank the sobering tea, hugging her father tightly, "Dad, I really like Lu Huai’an so much. I want to marry him. If I can’t in this lifetime, I will be very sad..."

It was an unconscious mutter.

Lin Zongjun’s eyes narrowed slightly, helplessly patting his daughter’s back, "Silly child."

Liking someone too much can bring suffering.

...

The high heels Lin Chu threw onto the highway were returned to the Lin Family one morning, but she was still asleep then, and the servants didn’t deliberately inform her.

It was much later when she eventually found them in the shoe cabinet.
