Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 821 - 319: Heartbroken Fairy Tale—No Matter How Big the World Is, I Can’t Escape You (Part 5)_3
That’s indeed the case.
Gu Shaozhi felt a wave of disappointment surge in his heart, and after a few seconds, let out a self-deprecating chuckle.
You might be out of your mind.
He waved his hand dismissively and said lightly, "Alright, you can go."
Lin Chu, "..."
See? Lin Chu had no value to Gu Shaozhi anymore, and this was his attitude.
Indeed, her dislike for him was justified.

Song Jingyuan fell ill, and although Lu Huai’an initially said they’d move out after the New Year, given the current situation, it was clearly not suitable.
Lu Zhengmao was very worried, staying in the room on the second floor from morning till night. Shen Weiyi also gave up great opportunities, leaving only the simplest tasks, spending most of her time caring for Song Jingyuan.
The company had to keep operating every day, Lu Huai’an’s work was getting busier by the day, and he came home at night carrying a strong smell of tobacco.
Many times, he worked late into the night alone in the study due to some tricky tasks, and Lin Chu also stayed awake, quietly keeping him company.
For a long time, the doctor in the house was constantly going in and out, and the overall atmosphere of the villa was very gloomy.
Lin Chu was very worried.
One night, Lu Huai’an came home and didn’t go to the study. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, he brought Lin Chu, who was staring blankly on the balcony, into the bedroom. The forceful kiss started from the balcony and continued passionately to the bed.
Lin Chu was so dizzy from the kiss, she didn’t even know when her pajamas were removed.
The man’s actions were not gentle, even somewhat violently rough, as if something trapped inside his body had no escape, tormenting his rationale and emotions, finding solace only in her soft cries.
In matters of intimacy, ten of Lin Chu couldn’t compare to Lu Huai’an.
She was overwhelmed by the uncontrollable waves of passion, feeling she might die, only to have him pull her back from a daze by tugging on some nerve.
In the end, Lin Chu’s voice was hoarse, and she softly begged Lu Huai’an before he finally let her go.
Afterward, Lu Huai’an carried her to the bathroom to wash. Although soaking in a bath would have made her more comfortable, the shadow from her childhood was too deep, and she was always afraid of the sensation of being submerged in water, so she could only take a simple shower.
The girl didn’t even have the strength to turn over, curled up in the bedding like a lazy and beautiful kitten.
Ambiguous marks spread on her fair skin, looking quite pitiful, as if alleviating something stuck in Lu Huai’an’s chest.
Clearly exhausted to the extreme, Lin Chu still noticed his unusual behavior tonight. He had been off for a while now, too busy even for meals, let alone accompanying her.
Was it because of Mrs. Lu’s illness?
It came too suddenly, and everyone’s heart was on edge.
The man’s arm wrapped around her shoulder, and she rolled into his embrace, carrying the cool humidity of the bathroom.
"What exactly is wrong with Mom? Everyone at home seems to know, except for me who’s in the dark."
No one was telling her, and the doctor was also evasive.
Only a small wall lamp was on in the bedroom, casting a dim light.
Lu Huai’an leaned against the headboard, his dark eyes slightly closed. His sharply defined features were half-illuminated by the dim light, half concealed in shadows, and his deep voice was steady and unaffected, "Mom’s health has always been poor. It’s an old problem."
From this ambiguous statement, Lin Chu understood that he didn’t want to tell her.
He was so tired every day, she couldn’t trouble him anymore, "Should we go abroad for a check-up? If you’re too busy with work to leave, I can accompany Mom to see the doctor."
Lu Huai’an was too good at hiding his emotions. When he wanted to, no one could glimpse any of it.
He turned off the light and pulled up the covers to tuck them around her shoulders, his voice deep, "No need. Doctor Jiang knows Mom’s condition best. Keep your mouth shut, and if you’re not asleep after ten minutes, then you won’t sleep tonight."

Song Jingyuan’s illness lasted for several months. By the time summer was almost over, they finally moved from the Lu Family Villa to the Riverfront Apartment.
Although Lu Zhengmao didn’t say anything explicitly, he wasn’t very happy about the couple moving out to live alone.
Lin Chu could tell.
After all, Mr. Lu and the old master never liked her much from the start. Staying wouldn’t have improved anything either.
