Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 782 - 306.【Sad Fairy Tale】The One in Front is the Beloved (Part 5)_3
A light command, "You can leave now, we can discuss the rest tomorrow."
The two secretaries responded in unison, "Yes."
They tidied up the documents methodically and walked out of the office one after another. Of course, they couldn’t help but cast curious glances at the young girl in the office.
With the door closed, only two people were left in the office.
After capping his pen, Lu Huai’an stood up, walked around the desk to the girl, and took the bag she was holding, "You get upset for delivering one document. Who taught you such bad habits?"
Is Lun Jun blind, letting her carry something so heavy?
Lin Chu didn’t mind the man’s indifferent words; her mind was full of thoughts about him leaving for two or three months.
His office and the style of his bedroom at home were exactly the same, nothing interesting to see, so Lin Chu just glanced around symbolically.
With her hands behind her back, she slowly walked towards the coffee table, observing him, and sighed, "Tsk, tsk, Mr. Lu’s little secretary is very pretty..."
She didn’t realize at all that her words carried a sour tone.
Lu Huai’an glanced at her and replied without change in expression, "Yeah, prettier than you."
Lin Chu, "..."
Not only did he not comfort her when he knew she was angry, but he also deliberately provoked her.
Lin Chu was still standing when Lu Huai’an had already settled on the sofa, sorting the meal boxes, allowing her to glare down at him from above, "All the fashion magazines say I’m the prettiest girl in An City. Are you sure your taste hasn’t gone wrong?"
She had every reason to be proud.
Was it last year or the year before, when a website in An City launched an online vote: ’Discover the Most Beautiful Face Around,’ in which many strangers appeared alongside various celebrities.
Of course, Lin Chu wasn’t so bored as to participate in such contests. She and Ji Wanxia’s photos were uploaded by someone else, and by the time they knew, there were already millions of votes.
Celebrities have fans who vote relentlessly. Regular people, of course, didn’t enjoy such privileges.
Although the final winner was some pretty-faced actor, many magazines reported: if judged by Asian standards of beauty, the Lin Family’s daughter should be An City’s most beautiful face.
Lu Huai’an wouldn’t pay attention to such meaningless online events, but his friends often mentioned it around him, so he was aware.
He put down what he was holding and looked up and down at the girl glaring at him.
Fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged.
Having undergone some transformation, she had matured overnight, blending maturity with the freshness of youth, like a freshly ripened fruit that captivated the eye.
After a few seconds of eye contact, Lu Huai’an calmly shifted his gaze away, "Precisely because my aesthetic went wrong that I chose to marry you."
Lin Chu, "..."
How to describe it?
There was anger, but a sweet, tender emotion too.
Her lips couldn’t help but curve upward as she softly said, "Well, there’s no helping it. In this lifetime, I’m not letting you get treated for it. You’ll just have to be stuck with me."
Taking on Lu’s surname and being acknowledged by him was Lin Chu’s eighteenth birthday wish.
The girl’s domineering words reached Lu Huai’an’s ears but didn’t make him feel resentful.
Unconsciously, he lingered on her smiling face, not snapping back to reality until a while later, adjusting his sight and loosening two buttons of his shirt collar.
Casually glancing at the dozens of meal boxes on the coffee table, "Bought so much; do you think everyone eats like a pig like you do?"
Lin Chu felt that no man on earth was more clueless about romance than Lu Huai’an.
She closed her eyes, resisted the urge to pinch him, and then placed her bag and documents aside, walking over to sit beside him.
Wrapping her hands around his arm, she pursed her lips to explain, "But wasn’t I worried you’d be overworked and deplete your energy too quickly?"
"Besides, I didn’t have enough for lunch, so I’m keeping you company," Lin Chu leaned towards the man, blinking, and asked with a light smile, "So, is your Mrs. Lu thoughtful or what?"
The girl’s soft body unexpectedly pressed against him, and her unique fragrance lingered around his nose, so close that Lu Huai’an could see the tiny fine hairs on her skin.
Her brows curved, her gentle smile carrying a captivating beauty.
Her crimson lips moved lightly, uttering warm and pleasant words.
Making one very tempted... to kiss her.
Lu Huai’an’s breath caught for a moment. As if covering something up, he raised his hand to push her out of his embrace, "Eat and leave quickly, don’t stay here and disturb my work."
There were classes in the evening at school, so Lin Chu didn’t plan to stay long anyway, "I’m not a chatterbox; how would sitting quietly disturb you?"
Suddenly, an immature idea popped into her head.
She cleared her throat awkwardly a couple of times, looking at the man’s handsome profile, with a shy face she asked, "Or is it that... just seeing me makes you unable to concentrate on work? Am I really that capable?"
The man ignored her, but her smile only grew brighter, "Oh my, you don’t have to feel embarrassed; after all, I am this beautiful..."
Lin Chu’s feet involuntarily shifted, turning around, she didn’t walk towards him nor spoke but just looked a bit grievance-ridden.
The message conveyed was clear: you’ve upset me, are you going to coax me?
During the time from when Lin Chu walked from the sofa to the office door, Lu Huai’an had drunk half of the cooled-down tea, suppressing his emerging thoughts and desires.
His breathing cooled down a few degrees.
Seeing the girl’s aggrieved expression, his indifferent voice, without realizing, turned soft, "What are you doing standing by the door? Come back and finish your meal before you leave."
This was Lu Huai’an’s way of showing concern.
In Lin Chu’s impression, Lu Huai’an was rarely like this.
She said she didn’t eat enough at noon, specially saving her stomach to be with him. Though it sounded like a joke, Lu Huai’an took it to heart.
Lin Chu’s temper faded in an instant, she agreed softly, "Oh."
Obediently she walked back, taking the chopsticks he handed over.
Lu Huai’an didn’t like people talking while he ate, and Lin Chu knew this, so she stayed quiet throughout.
Of course, she wasn’t that well-behaved, sneaking glances at him every few minutes. Even when caught, she’d act as nothing happened, eyes still drawn to him.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, even while eating, this man is so handsome.
Lu Huai’an couldn’t be bothered with her, initially warning her away with his cold gaze a couple of times, but then ceased to respond altogether.
After dinner, a secretary entered to clean the table and brewed two cups of tea for them.
Lin Chu sipped her tea as slowly as possible, finishing half a cup and finding herself unable to drink more, she grabbed her bag, preparing to leave.
Looking back every few steps, she finally couldn’t help but ask, "Could you give me a ride to school?"
Already immersed in handling business, Lu Huai’an remained impassive in expression, coolly replying, "In your dreams."
The family driver was waiting downstairs at the company, which he had known all along.
Lin Chu, "..."
Well, that question was wasted.
————
In the evening, it was a public class. Lin Chu and Jiang Muzhou were in the same major, attending classes together.
More than eight o’clock after class, in the distance, she saw the indifferent Ji Wanxia, not watching her steps and bumping into people a few times.
Jiang Muzhou stroked his chin, curiously watching the lower-headed Ji Wanxia approach, he nudged Lin Chu with his elbow, smirkingly asked, "Could it be that your marriage upset your bestie? Could she also be into that ice-cube face?"
Just shut up, you brat!
Lin Chu glared at him in annoyance, retorting, "Did Qiao An find another sugar daddy recently?"
Sure enough, the obnoxious look on Jiang Muzhou’s face instantly turned sour.
