Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 777 - 304. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] The One Before My Eyes Is the One in My Heart (Part 3)_2
The man’s features were sharp and inscrutable, a cold aura emanating from the curve of his lips as he spoke indifferently. "So, you mean to say this pajama set was given to you by someone else?"
Before this, Lin Chu had always wanted to see what Lu Huai’an looked like when he smiled.
Now she knew that Lu Huai’an smiling was even more terrifying than when he didn’t.
The ’pajamas’ he mentioned were indeed such a thing.
Boldly designed with semi-transparent fabric, not fulfilling a pajama’s duty to cover, revealing what shouldn’t be shown, teasingly seductive and incredibly sexy.
Heaven knows, it truly wasn’t something she had secretly bought in a fit of lust.
Lacking the confidence to look him in the eye, she awkwardly shifted her gaze, looking left for a while, then right.
Even her toes, resting on the carpet, wriggled unconsciously.
Her voice was as tiny as a mosquito’s, "Yes, yes, yes, Jiang Muzhou gave it to me. I swear, I really had no intention of seducing you with it. Please believe me..."
The words trailed off before she finished.
A few days ago, Jiang Muzhou, that bastard, had mysteriously handed her a box, claiming it was a wedding gift that must be opened on the wedding night.
While Lu Huai’an was in the shower, she was sorting through the luggage brought by the Lin Family’s servants and found it in the suitcase.
She had completely forgotten about it, but curiosity is human nature.
The moment she opened it, she wished she could gouge her eyes out—or rather, she wished she could chop Jiang Muzhou into mincemeat.
Feeling both shy and disgusted, she stuffed it into the wardrobe without much thought, kicked the door shut afterward.
Who would have thought she’d dig a hole for herself, throw a rock only to have it land on her own foot, unable to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River?
Jiang, Muzhou...
The tapping of his fingers on the table stopped, and Lu Huai’an looked expressionlessly at the girl standing under the light, his pupils flashing with a terrifying coldness.
A cold laugh slipped from his thin lips, "For even something like this, you have to rely on Jiang Muzhou to buy it for you. Why go through all that trouble to marry me? Wouldn’t it be easier to just be with him?"
Oh no.
Lin Chu felt like crying in frustration; she might have dug up Jiang Muzhou’s ancestral grave in a past life.
The pajamas hidden behind her back felt like a burning piece of charcoal in her hands—too hot to hold but more suspicious to throw away, risking burning down the whole villa.
Her head hung low as she shuffled forward step by step.
She explained with grievance, "No, no, he said if I were left alone on the wedding night, it would be pitiful, and I should wear it for you..."
Jiang Muzhou’s original words were much more deserving of a slap, and having already poked the dragon’s tail, she dared not act rashly again.
Lin Chu cautiously lifted her head to look at him. The face of the ’ice block’ was not only aloof but as dark as Bao Gong.
Clearly, she had misspoken again.
She forced an awkward smile, "Do I seem that kind of person? Of course not, right? So I righteously refused and told him to scram."
One hand remained behind her back while the other held up three fingers, as if taking an oath, "I’ll throw it away tomorrow. You won’t see such eyesores ever again."
No matter what she said, her throat felt on fire, but the man on the sofa showed not a bit of reaction.
Feeling a bit thirsty, Lin Chu was about to go downstairs for a drink of water and continue when Lu Huai’an finally spoke.
"Since it’s already bought, and you’ve accepted it, wouldn’t throwing it away mean wasting your ’friend’s’ good intention?"
Utterly vile.
It was as if a basin of ice-cold water was poured over her, erasing all her expectations with a laughable finality.
The sparkling brightness in her eyes dimmed at that moment. She stamped hard on his foot and withdrew from his arms, taking two steps back.
"I don’t want to see you. Either sleep on the sofa downstairs or open a room somewhere else, just don’t appear before me."
Her voice and gaze were as cold as ice.
Before, words like ’get out’ or ’you’re an eyesore, go stand in a corner’ were frequent out of Lu Huai’an’s mouth, and Lin Chu never took them seriously, always sticking close with a grin.
This was probably the first time in all these years Lin Chu had spoken to Lu Huai’an like this.
Lin Chu didn’t explode with rage; she was simply very calm as she pointed at the bedroom door. "The door is over there. Open it yourself and get out."
As she walked to the bed and was about to lie down, she glanced back at Lu Huai’an and added, "But remember, it was I—Lin Chu—who snubbed you, Lu Huai’an!"
With that, she lifted the thin blanket and lay down, even turning off the crystal chandelier above.
...
The room was left with only a small wall lamp, its orange light dim and indistinct.
Lu Huai’an looked at the back of her head that was exposed on the bedding, the malice and mockery in his eyes gradually fading as his lips slowly curved upward.
Finally, she knows how to get angry and fight back.
Feeling the bed sink behind her, Lin Chu shot up in alarm, staring at him expressionlessly, "What? Am I not speaking Mandarin, the great treasure of the Chinese people? Can’t you understand?"
Lu Huai’an didn’t get angry; instead, he looked completely at ease.
He had already taken off his bathrobe, leaning against the headboard, though the lower half of his body was covered by the thin blanket, what was visible was already quite a sight. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The finely sculpted abs weren’t something every man had.
Calmly, he looked at her and said, "I didn’t hear clearly. Can you say it again?"
"Don’t play dumb," Lin Chu would really need to have her head examined if she believed him. "You can sleep wherever you want, just don’t sleep in this bed. Go down and leave this room with your clothes, right now, immediately."
She could go one night without seeing him and survive.
After all, she had gotten through so many nights before.
Lu Huai’an let out a derisive laugh, "This is my home, and you’re telling me to leave?"
At some point, his hand had wandered over, gripping Lin Chu’s arm to pull her into his embrace. Surprised, she fell against his chest.
Her nose hit his hard muscle, an uncontrollable sting spreading through it.
His lean and strong arm was wrapped around her lower back, making it impossible for her to escape, pinning her against his chest.
Even in this position, she didn’t cower, "I’m Mrs. Lu; what’s yours is mine."
Lu Huai’an’s dark eyes deepened in shade.
The girl struggled with all her might, her breaths coming in rapid gasps, her warm breath tickling his chest.
Perhaps because of the collision, her sore nose made her eyes a little red, her doe-like eyes glistening, her lashes clumped together.
Lin Chu was never the gentle and soft type. If it were anyone else treating her like this, she would have started cursing their ancestors by now.
The only reason she hadn’t kicked him yet was because he was Lu Huai’an.
Drenched in sweat from the struggle and still not free, she grew angry and viciously bit his shoulder, "Lu... mmm..."
The man’s lips descended abruptly, sealing her words with assertiveness in her mouth.
At that moment, all her struggles ceased.
...
