Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 816 - 318: Heartbroken Fairy Tale: No Matter How Vast the World, I Can’t Escape You (Part 4)_2
Grandpa doesn’t know, but he knows.
After sobering up, she hadn’t forgotten that daring absurdity. Even though the day after she awoke, he still, as before, came to her room to wake her and would join her for breakfast as if nothing had happened that snowy night.
But... something latent was quietly changing.
Whenever Grandpa went to the company, and only the two of them were at home, she would be in the dining room and he in the living room, separated by the ornately carved wooden framed wall, gazing at her with profoundly deep eyes, a complexity in them she couldn’t decipher.
He must have found out.
He must feel it absurd that his own sister would have such feelings for him!
Shame, self-blame, regret...
Even in dreams, these emotions tortured her.
In this world, there’s no medicine for regret. She couldn’t turn back time to that snowy night, and if she continued to live in the Ji Family and see him daily, she might go crazy...
So, the only option was to escape.
The boarding reminder echoed in the spacious hall, pulling Ji Wanxia out of her own world. Whatever Lin Chu said, she didn’t catch it clearly at all.
Gathering her things, she stood up and walked toward the security check.
She didn’t look back because those who frequently look back cannot walk far.
A faint smile touched her lips, "Xiao Chu, I’m boarding now. Even if you took a rocket, you wouldn’t make it to the airport in time to see me off. Don’t be mad. You’re my best friend, always will be, so I will contact you first once I settle down. Don’t even mention Xu Qiubai, Grandpa comes after you."
Lin Chu paused in her change of clothes.
The phone was still held between her ear and shoulder, with her pants half on, she looked quite comical now.
She had already heard the airport staff’s voice, so Ji Wanxia was right, unless she had the godlike ability to teleport, by the time she got to the airport, who knows where the plane would be by then.
Sighing helplessly, she kicked off her barely on pants to free her hands and hold the phone.
"Then take care of yourself. When you return, it’s always better to have someone with you, but it’s okay if you’re alone. After all, our Wanwan is so beautiful, ordinary men aren’t worthy of you; the best must be waiting for you."
Decisions that are made shouldn’t be sudden whims; she had no right to interfere.
Ji Wanxia laughed, "Geez, so cheesy, I’ve got goosebumps. Alright, Xiao Chu, I really don’t have time for sentimentality with you."
"Take care."
The call was already ended.
Lin Chu still sat on the sofa, the quiet night outside her window. She seemed infected by the hidden sorrow of Ji Wanxia, leaving her spirit somewhat deflated.
Not until the door of the cloakroom opened from the outside did she snap out of it.
Slowly lifting her head, her eyes somewhat unfocused, she gazed at the man’s stern handsome face before reacting after a moment, "Wha- what did I do? Why are you looking at me like that?"
The room had good soundproofing, and she hadn’t used a loudspeaker, so she couldn’t have disturbed him.
Don’t think of wronging her!
Lu Huai’an looked expressionlessly at the bewildered and innocent-looking girl, asking indifferently, "I told you to pack your things. You’ve been here all day. Have you moved at all?"
The way it was before he went to the company in the morning, was still the same when he came back in the evening.
Lin Chu thought about it; it seemed there was such a matter.
Lately, because of exams and the semi-disappearance of Ji Wanxia, she hadn’t slept well. Today, with Mr. and Mrs. Lu not at home, she could sleep in without a care. After he left, she lounged in bed until the afternoon.
Eating, checking her phone, the time just passed, and the task of packing was completely forgotten.
Even though it wasn’t very late now and she could pack, her mood wasn’t great, and she didn’t want to move.
Lin Chu looked away, stood up, and walked out of the cloakroom, "It’s not like we’re moving tomorrow, what’s the rush?"
What kind of attitude is that?
As the girl passed by him, Lu Huai’an caught her wrist, the angular outline of his face partly hidden in the shadow, appearing especially profound.
He said lightly, "Ji Wanxia couldn’t handle it and sought to end it, so you..."
"Lu Huai’an, shut up!" Lin Chu interrupted the man with a cold face.
Even sharp tongues should have a limit.
She was forced to halt, looking up at the man’s handsome features, speaking earnestly, "Wanwan is my best friend; you’re not allowed to talk about her like that."
Lu Huai’an thought he would be angry, but he wasn’t.
