Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 755 - 298. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] The Beginning of a Dead End (2)_2

So, he knew all along.

Or rather, the injury on my wrist was his deliberate doing, meant to wake me with pain.

Lu Huai’an, my father loved it when I played the piano for him. I think I told you that. Did you forget, or did you never care?

The pain in my heart hurts more than the dislocated wrist.

The human nerves are often more sensitive to stronger stimuli, so Lin Chu no longer felt the pain in other parts of her body.

It just felt like someone was slicing her heart with a knife, blood flowing from it, seeming to seep into her limbs, making it hard to breathe.

After enduring that piercing pain, Lin Chu lifted her head to look at him, a soft smile curving her lips, "You might not know, but last night I recorded a video with my phone, of how you carried me from the bathroom to the bed, how you kissed me, how you pinned me down. It’s all on my phone."

She watched as the man’s dark eyes gradually dimmed.

The surface was icy without a trace of warmth, and deep inside, waves raged like a stormy sea, seemingly ready to engulf her any second, but sealed by the icy shell, leaving him looking as calm as ever.

The smile in Lin Chu’s eyes grew even brighter, her damp eyes sparkling with a charming glow.

"I don’t care about losing face. If you don’t marry me, I’ll show the video to your family, and of course, to your sweetheart Shen Weiyi. I bet it would break her heart. I didn’t save the video to my email. You could throw away my phone, but if you do, I’ll go to your house directly, considering these fresh injuries. In such a state, claiming you forced me while drunk, no one would doubt it."

This was the beginning of a dead end.

If everyone had the chance to foresee the future once, Lin Chu thought years later, she would definitely have used it on this day.

She wouldn’t have drugged him, schemed to climb into his bed, or used such disgraceful means to force him.

If he said he didn’t like her and didn’t want to marry her, she would just nod and agree, "Fine, don’t marry me."

She wouldn’t be lonely forever; she’d probably marry some attractive, wealthy, and romantic man. Even if her heart was empty, at least she could live a stable life.

Mr. Lin would live to be eighty, name her kids, and lean on a cane, enjoying the sun in the park. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But, there are no ifs.

...

Who knew how long it passed before Lu Huai’an suddenly laughed.

He took long strides towards Lin Chu.

He bent over, one hand bracing on the armrest of the sofa, the other hand brushing her pretty but pale features, finally pinching her chin with his distinctly jointed fingers, gently lifting it.

The distance was so close that their breaths mixed and merged.

He could see clearly the tears glistening in her eyes.

His thin lips slowly curved up, his deep voice warm as he spoke slowly, "Xiao Chu, you better hold onto the position of Mrs. Lu well, best stay in my spouse column for life, even in death you’ll be a Lu family member."

The grip on her chin wasn’t strong, it didn’t hurt Lin Chu; both his voice and actions were softer than ever.

But in his dark eyes, Lin Chu saw only coldness and indifference.

She blinked, answering softly, "Mm, alright."

When she received Lin Chu’s call, Wanxia was in the kitchen making breakfast for Ji Huan.

It was almost nine o’clock, well past breakfast time. Normally, Ji Huan should already be in the office handling work.

But Ji Huan had been in the United States for almost two months, only returned to An City the day before yesterday, and couldn’t adjust his schedule in just one or two nights, so he delayed starting work.

"Wanwan, I’m at Lu Huai’an’s riverside apartment. Can you bring me some clothes and a doctor?"

The voice was hoarse, intermingled with suppressed sobs.

Wanxia’s heart immediately tightened. She put down what she was holding and turned off the fire as she went upstairs, "You didn’t... spend the night there, did you? Are you feeling unwell or injured?"

Isn’t Lu Huai’an there?

Why would you need a doctor?

Weren’t we fine when we had dinner last night?

Lin Chu shrank into a corner, her long hair messily scattered over her cheeks, her lips pale, the dislocated left hand laying quietly on the sofa, like a ragdoll discarded after being wantonly abused.

Tears silently rolled from her eyes, soaking a large patch, "I’m in so much pain, I don’t have the strength to explain."
