Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 847 - 326: Heartbroken Fairytale – Fleeting Shadows (Part 1)

Gu Shaozhi’s tone was calm and unruffled, but his gaze at the suit jacket hanging on Lin Chu’s arm was somewhat complex.

Holding a man’s clothes and eagerly looking in the direction of the men’s restroom...

The anxious Lin Chu didn’t bother to explain to him, "Can I borrow your phone for a moment? Or can you help me call Lu Huai’an? Never mind, I’ll go up myself. Just don’t let anyone else into the restroom."

Saying that, she threw Ji Huan’s suit jacket into Gu Shaozhi’s hands and ran upstairs as fast as she could.

As soon as she pushed open the door to the private room, she bumped right into the man’s solid chest.

Lu Huai’an quickly hooked his arm around the girl’s waist, pulling her backward-leaning body into his embrace, ignoring the teasing remarks of the surrounding noblemen.

His brows slightly furrowed, "Rushing like this, is there a ghost chasing you?"

After steadying herself, Lin Chu pulled Lu Huai’an out of the room, and only after the door closed did she start speaking, panting, "It’s bad, something big happened."

The light in the corridor was soft, with dark red carpet and brown-toned wallpaper, creating a serene atmosphere when no one passed by.

Lu Huai’an’s black eyes half-narrowed, gazing at the girl’s little face filled with confusion and urgency, he asked unhurriedly, "You’ve only been out for five minutes, what major issue could have arisen?"

Lin Chu felt she could still hear Gao Jian’s painful groans from the second floor; there was no time to delay, so she grabbed the man’s hand and ran downstairs.

Explaining as she ran.

"Didn’t I tell you, a year ago when you first came to An University to pick me up, the night I got lost, Wanwan was bullied by Gao Jian? Just now, I bumped into him outside the restroom, and accidentally leaked the matter. Ji Huan was there, and he overheard."

With Lu Huai’an’s long legs, even as Lin Chu was in a jog, his pace remained steady.

Before going downstairs, he pulled her back, "He would find out sooner or later, whether from you or someone else, it makes little difference."

Lin Chu was almost dying of anxiety, but how could her strength compete with Lu Huai’an’s?

When he stopped, she could only stand there anxiously.

"Yes, that’s not important. What’s important is I feel someone’s life is at stake. Hurry and come with me to take a look. If something happens to Ji Huan, Wanwan will cry herself to death."

Lu Huai’an’s eyes deepened, "Did he make a move?"

Lin Chu nodded so vigorously that her head was about to fall off.

Her hand, which had been grabbing the man’s hand, was reversed and enveloped, the warm feeling from his palm transmitting to the back of her hand; as they descended the staircase, her chaotic mind suddenly calmed down.

Before they even arrived, they rounded the corner and saw a crowd gathered in the corridor, because of Gu Shaozhi’s presence, no one dared to speak loudly, huddling in small groups, whispering.

Gao Jian’s painful groans, along with harsh curses, echoed in the corridor.

"Don’t think your Ji Family is so remarkable. I could pin a bunch of criminal charges on you with a slight move. That pretentious yet debauched little bitch Ji Wanxia, it’s only a matter of time before I get her in bed. Missing the chance to sleep with her a year ago was a loss when I think about it."

"To be honest, I’ve touched her more than once. Her fair skin and pretty face feel so good. When she returns to the country, there will be a fourth, a fifth time..."

"Fuck! Ji Huan, if you’ve got the balls, kill me now, or I won’t let you off easily!"

Even with the door closed, it wasn’t hard to imagine what was happening inside.

Gao Jian’s voice grew weaker, painful groans emanating as if mixed with a pungent smell of blood.

Lin Chu, whose heart had just calmed down, skipped a beat, she pushed through the crowd, ready to rush towards the men’s restroom.

Lu Huai’an hooked his arm around the girl’s waist, pulling her back, his calm gaze gradually accumulating a dark aura, "Ji Huan knows his limits and won’t really cause a fatal incident."

Even after all this time, Lin Chu clearly remembered the murderous chill emanating from Ji Huan when he flexed his joints, which almost made her shiver.

Despite being half-siblings, placed in other families, it might have been a relationship of hatred or awkwardness, but Ji Huan’s affection for Ji Wanxia hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

Almost everyone in An City knew the Ji Family’s princess was raised in the palm of their hands.

The Ji Family was practically half of Lin Chu’s home, and aside from Xu Qiubai, Ji Wanxia had no other friend like Lin Chu, naturally confiding her girlish secrets to her.

No one could interfere in the place these siblings held in each other’s hearts, not even Grandpa Ji, nor Ji Huan’s fiancée, Fang Yi.
