Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 819 - 319: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] No Matter How Big the World Is, I Can’t Escape You (Part 5)
The bedroom lights were fully on to treat Lin Chucheng’s wound, making it very bright.
Lu Huai’an held the first aid kit, his wrist caught by the girl’s grip. He paused, turned, and looked at her innocent face.
From this angle, he could clearly see the urgent light in her eyes. She wasn’t afraid of a misunderstanding from others, but rather being misunderstood by him. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
His distinct features showed little emotion, but his free right hand reached out to pinch the girl’s nose, his voice deep, "I know."
Even though she had her back to him at that time and he didn’t see the entire incident clearly, he knew she didn’t do it on purpose.
Hearing those three words, Lin Chu’s heart instantly settled.
Her indifferent face slowly broke into a relieved smile. She shifted on the sofa, leaning over to wrap her arms around the man’s waist, snuggling into his embrace.
Her soft voice carried a playful girlishness, "I thought you were mad at me just now because you didn’t speak. Do you really believe me? Or are you lying to me?"
Especially back in the main building, after he threw her onto the sofa and didn’t even glance at her, going instead to care for Shen Weiyi, she was genuinely a bit upset.
Even with three or four servants present, her inherent pride wouldn’t allow her to explain herself.
They were already married, though it was a unilateral effort on her part, it remained a fact. Without even the basic trust, how would they endure the long years ahead?
Thankfully, he didn’t misunderstand.
The fluff of her head rubbed back and forth against his abdomen. After a few seconds, Lu Huai’an’s expression turned less pleasant, and he raised his hand to hold the girl’s slender arm, pulling her from his embrace, "Would I bother lying to someone with your intelligence?"
She wasn’t that kind of person.
The man’s words were already on the verge of a personal attack, yet Lin Chu didn’t seem too upset, her delicate features filled with the joy of being trusted by the one she loved most.
Blinking, she laughed, "If I’m a bit foolish, it makes you seem smarter."
Did Lu Huai’an need others to highlight his presence?
Of course not.
Just as he was about to leave the room, Lin Chu remembered to ask a serious question, "Is Shen Weiyi okay? Should I go apologize to her?"
Lu Huai’an paused momentarily in the act of opening the door, but only stayed there for a few seconds.
His deep eyes slightly narrowed, the emotions hidden without a trace.
Before closing the door, he tossed out a phrase casually, "It’s more important to worry about whether you’ll end up crippled first."
Always running up and down the stairs barefoot, maybe this time she’ll learn her lesson.

After that accident, Lin Chu never let her altruistic nature act recklessly again.
Even when she got hungry at midnight and headed to the main building in search of food, running into the late-returning Shen Weiyi, she didn’t meddle further.
Living under the same roof, encounters were inevitable. During the day, Shen Weiyi was mostly not home, and when she returned, Mr. and Mrs. Lu had already retired for the night.
Lin Chu always felt that since that night, Shen Weiyi’s gaze on her had changed, but she couldn’t pinpoint the problem.
Whether it was dislike or hatred, it was understandable.
But life is like this, not everything is absolutely fair—in fact, there’s nothing in this world that’s absolutely fair.
She had snatched away the happiness that should have belonged to Shen Weiyi through manipulation. She didn’t know if she would face retribution in the future, but on many nights, she would have dreams that ended in unresolved nightmares.
Seeing only red and despair, she was trapped in an imaginary cage, unable to see anything, unable to escape forever.
No one can predict the future, so she wouldn’t know what would happen someday.
...
Lin Chu was blocked by Gu Shaozhi for the second time.
The car was parked horizontally at the school gate, exuding an impressive presence.
Although Gu Shaozhi usually acted very low-key, at his core he was no different from his good friends, born with a silver spoon, smooth sailing all the way, holding half of the entertainment industry’s resources. Whatever he wants to do, there’s nothing he can’t accomplish.
The early spring temperature was still a bit cold, the black handmade coat accentuating his stature, the impeccably pressed trousers wrapping his long legs, as he casually leaned on the car hood, exuding an innate distinct charm.
Aristocratic, elegant.
Female students passing by pretended to have things to do, naturally lingering at the door, their peripheral vision unconsciously flicking in his direction, cheeks rosy, with little pink hearts sparkling in their eyes.
