Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 838 - 323: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] The Whale That Became an Island (Part 4)
The mouth was full of foam, making her stutter and lose any forcefulness she might have had, and the cool mint seemed to slide down her throat, making her nose tingle.
All the girl’s reactions were within Lu Huai’an’s sight, including her slightly reddened eyes.
The domineering aura around him retreated slightly, and he loosened his grip on her waist, allowing her to continue brushing her teeth.
Lin Chu seemed completely unwilling to stay in the same space with him. She swiftly finished washing up and turned to leave.
Before she could touch the door handle, the man had looped his arm around her waist and pulled her back.
Lu Huai’an looked at her plain, small face and furrowed his brows, "Not only has your temper grown, but you’ve learned to turn things upside down and hit back."
These words in Lin Chu’s ears could truly ignite a person’s fighting spirit.
She raised her foot, wanting to kick him, but before she could do anything, he easily defused and restrained her.
Lin Chu was pinned against the wall by the man, exhausted, unable to break free, and simply gave up trying to twist with him.
Relaxing her body, she faintly questioned, "This morning at the hospital, you wronged me without considering anything; did you give me a chance to speak?"
Lu Huai’an’s calm black eyes had ripples as though a stone were thrown into a serene lake, spreading circles outward.
Finding the wedding ring on her ring finger, his thumb slowly rubbed it with a gentle pressure.
His voice lowered, "I’m sorry, I misunderstood you."
These three words, [I’m sorry], truly shocked Lin Chu. They were very ordinary words, but this was the first time she heard Lu Huai’an apologize to her.
She opened her apricot eyes wide, hesitated for a moment, and stammered, "Why are you apologizing? I haven’t decided to forgive you."
Why does he always act outside the script?
This morning, Lu Huai’an was very unusual. He never showed even a hint of emotional fluctuation in public, yet at a place like a hospital, he used his advantage in strength to bully a girl.
After Lin Chu left the hospital, he stood in the hallway for a long time.
He wanted to understand what was wrong with him, but his mind was filled with the image of her reddened eyes when she left, vividly clear, so there was no answer.
"I hardly have time to drink tea because I’m busy, yet on the first day of moving, I set time aside to stay at home with you. And what do you do? Leave me to have lunch with another man. Can’t I feel anything?"
This wasn’t an explanation.
Lin Chu’s expectations in her heart fell bit by bit.
She raised her head, her refined features breaking into a light smile with a hint of mockery, "I’m quite glad I didn’t stand someone up. If I had foolishly stayed at home, then the abandoned person would have been me."
Setting aside other factors, after all, life and death are crucial, he would definitely go looking for Shen Weiyi.
This feeling of being abandoned, it wasn’t the first time she tasted it. Although it wasn’t sad to the point of wanting to die, it does hurt more each time.
Lu Huai’an gazed at the girl’s bright and flamboyant smile, his deep eyes entangled with a very complex emotion, as the two remained in a stalemate, neither moving.
The space in the bathroom wasn’t very large, so quiet that even the sound of a water droplet hitting the floor could be heard clearly.
His thin lips formed a straight line, surrounded by a cold air.
After a long time, all the indifference faded away, and he spoke, "Weiwei has done a favor for the Lu Family; she’s in trouble, I can’t just ignore it."
A favor...
When Lin Chu heard these two words, the smile in her eyes froze, staring blankly at the man’s handsome face up close.
The most difficult thing to repay is a favor, right?
As long as Shen Weiyi still had feelings for Lu Huai’an, similar things would happen endlessly. Yesterday wasn’t the first time, and it wouldn’t be the last.
"I genuinely apologize; the arrogant and domineering Lin Chu forcibly tore apart your star-crossed lovers. Shen Weiyi is currently a popular top-tier superstar, and since her career is in a rising phase, she would commit suicide for you; I feel a bit guilty and uneasy."
Lu Huai’an’s frown deepened, his hoarse voice soaked in a low tone, "It wasn’t a suicide, and it wasn’t because of me."
Lin Chu laughed softly, leaning softly against the man’s chest.
"This morning outside the hospital room, I accidentally overheard two sentences; even when she fainted in the bathroom, you managed to pull her back from the Ghost Gate in time. Did she notify you ahead of time, or did someone near her call you? Must be hard to shower with clothes, right?"
She stopped at the appropriate time.
If certain things are laid out openly, they become very awkward.
For instance: This morning, she saw lipstick marks on Lu Huai’an’s neck. Even if it was faint, it couldn’t hide that it was left by a woman on his skin.
The smile in her eyes slowly faded away, her light voice ethereal, "Is it really not because of you? Aren’t you clear within yourself?"
Just because she didn’t ask, didn’t mean she knew nothing.
The silence in the air was terrifying.
Lin Chu didn’t look up, so she couldn’t see his current expression. He was silent because even he couldn’t convince himself with those so-called reasons, right?
She forcefully pushed him away, opened the bathroom door, and walked out, "Go back, I’m tired and want to sleep."
Yesterday, she slept here alone, and she could do the same today.
...
Lu Huai’an didn’t leave.
Lin Chu lay on the bed, wide awake.
Through a frosted glass door, the faint sound of water dripping in the bathroom echoed in her ears, annoying her a bit.
Finally, the water stopped, yet the man’s voice sounded again.
"Xiao Chu, bring my pajamas in."
No no no no no.
Lin Chu lay there pretending to sleep, without giving any response.
About half a minute later, she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, and because she had her eyes closed, her senses were more sensitive than usual.
She could clearly feel the approaching footsteps and the moist air wafting in.
Lu Huai’an couldn’t have... come out naked, could he?
As if to confirm her suspicion, she stealthily opened one eye, intending just to peek, and got caught red-handed.
Well, thankfully, he wasn’t stark naked.
After a brief moment of eye contact, Lin Chu coldly commanded, "You sleep on the sofa."
Lu Huai’an only wore a towel around his waist, the pajamas sent by the butler were tossed on the corner of the sofa, in a messy heap.
He didn’t plan to wear them either.
Under the girl’s cold gaze, he unflinchingly removed the towel, lifted the quilt, and lay on the bed.
Beneath the towel, there undoubtedly wasn’t anything else, and Lin Chu’s face flushed hot instantly, "You you you you Lu Huai’an, I warn you, don’t try anything shameless!"
