Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 886 - 335: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] If Only Time Could Be Recalled (Part 4)
The two people on the bed are intimately entangled, the temperature rising steadily. The girl’s faint moans seem to ignite Lu Huai’an’s thoughts and reason; he knows he should control himself but can’t.
The soft lips of Lin Chu, beneath him, are caught by the man’s kiss, every inch of her skin glowing a charming blush, all her responses are bodily instincts.
She doesn’t quite remember how it started.
After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, he sat at the desk reading her diary, like last time, she didn’t think much and lunged to snatch it.
He wasn’t too excessive, she tried to snatch, he gave it to her, then held the hairdryer to dry her hair.
Maybe the atmosphere was too good, or the snowy scene outside the window was too beautiful, when he leaned in to kiss her, she didn’t dodge.
What happened afterward, Lin Chu doesn’t really remember.
It wasn’t until she woke up the next morning, her entire body sore and weak, the man beside her rarely teasing her about not being able to get out of bed, that those blushing scenes returned to her mind.
Blushing, she covered the man’s eyes, warning him without momentum, "You’re not allowed to look anymore!"
Lu Huai’an had actually been awake for a while; he was busy three hundred and fifteen days a year, it was a rare quiet morning to watch her waking from sleep.
Easily removing the hand blocking his view, holding it in his palm, he spoke with a smile-not-smile, "If you don’t get up soon, you might have to cover your face when you go downstairs."
Newly awakened from a dream, her hair spread messily like seaweed, her cheeks flushed, her exposed skin lingering with tempting marks.
Yes, very alluring.
Lin Chu just wanted to cover her face now.
Glaring angrily at the man who felt no shame and was so assured, "You’re shameless! You scoundrel!"
Taking advantage of her confusion with that snowman, he bullied her, truly insidious and cunning!
"Me, a scoundrel?" Lu Huai’an snorted, his large hand clutching the girl’s shoulder, bringing her back from an attempt to escape his embrace, "Weren’t the moans last night yours?"
Lin Chu, "..."
Her ears grew hot, almost as if blood would seep out.
Her eyes darted left and right unnaturally, avoiding his gaze, "I don’t want to talk to someone like you, I’m spending today with dad, you should leave."
Lu Huai’an pinched the girl’s chin, turning her head back, asking in a deep voice, "Where exactly are you asking me to go?"
Lin Chu was indifferent to the man’s displeasure, lightly saying, "Wherever you like, the world is huge, go wherever you want."
Was I crazy last night?
Lin Chu didn’t look at him, so she didn’t know the expression on the big CEO being rebutted.
After about two or three minutes, a voice came through her ear, "The world is big, but there’s only one you."
Her breath stopped at that moment.
It’s like a little hammer, pounding each word he said into her heart.
Lu Huai’an said, the world may be big, but there’s only one Lin Chu.
————
The weather warmed up.
Lin Chu no longer continued staying at Lu Family as Lu Huai’an’s secretary; she returned to where she belonged, even though her current ability couldn’t help much, she couldn’t bear to let Lin Zongjun carry the heavy burden alone.
She could take on some load, allowing dad to relax a bit.
Lin Chu’s learning with Lu Huai’an was known to Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
Her sudden resignation and frequent visits to the Lin Family led Song Jingyuan to suspect some disagreement between the young couple. Taking advantage of the weekend when Shen Weiyi had an event and wasn’t home, she had Lu Zhengmao call both of them back.
Song Jingyuan pulled Lin Chu aside, saying to Lu Huai’an, "Old Lu is in the study, you go find him, don’t disturb the chat between me and my daughter-in-law."
Lu Huai’an, "..."
Being pulled to the second floor, Lin Chu was somewhat puzzled, looking back feeling unsure at Lu Huai’an still standing in the living room.
Mouthing, asking, "Did I do something?"
Whether the distance was too far for him to understand or he purposely ignored, altogether, before Lin Chu was led to the second floor, he gave no response.
Song Jingyuan took Lin Chu to her and Lu Zongjun’s bedroom, with a look of wanting to speak but hesitating, making Lin Chu’s heart somewhat apprehensive.
Licking her lips, tentatively asking, "Mom, do you have something to say to me?"
Song Jingyuan nodded slightly, "Xiao Chu, I saw the news a few days ago."
The news she referred to was: Famous star Shen Weiyi buying drinks late at night, harassed by a stalker fan, Lu Family’s CEO appearing timely as a hero to save, the two returned together to the hotel, stayed together for four hours.
Lin Chu paused for a moment, then smiled, "I didn’t think much of it."
Song Jingyuan practically watched Lin Chu grow up, this wasn’t the showing of someone not thinking much about it.
She looked at Lin Chu, her gaze soft and affectionate, then sighed, finding an old photograph from the drawer to hand to Lin Chu.
"This is Weiyi’s mother, she is someone to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. Without her, I would have left this world more than ten years ago."
A debt...
Only now does Lin Chu understand, what Lu Huai’an mentioned before about Shen Weiyi having a debt with the Lu Family actually referred to Shen Weiyi’s mother having helped Mrs. Lu.
The photo in her hand shows a very simple woman, her features stand out, somewhat resembling the aloof Shen Weiyi.
Lin Chu’s mind couldn’t wrap around it, she asked blankly, "What do you mean?"
Song Jingyuan now revealing the photo to Lin Chu signified she’d share some things with her, "Xiao Chu, you’re family in the Lu Family now, these things I won’t hide from you."
Lin Chu had little reaction, waiting for Song Jingyuan’s next words.
"I’ve always been unwell because this heart originally wasn’t mine."
Song Jingyuan clasped one hand over Lin Chu’s, with her other hand lightly placed over her heart, her kindly features showed sorrow from reminiscing an old friend.
"Weiyi’s mother used to work as a maid for the Lu Family, she was also once a daughter of a wealthy family, after falling, her husband passed away, she came out with her daughter to work, she was like a friend to me."
Pausing for a moment.
"At that time, I was lying in the hospital bed completely unaware, later Old Lu told me, Weiyi’s mom was a match and voluntarily donated her heart to me, she had only one condition, that we ensure her daughter would never want for anything, nor be shunned."
Lin Chu’s mind went utterly blank, unable to utter a single word.
Such gratitude, indeed, can never be fully repaid.
Song Jingyuan gently patted the back of Lin Chu’s hand, softly sighing, "So, Xiao Chu, the marriage arrangement between Huai’an and Weiyi was set by me, later... but now, the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family is you..."
"Bang!"
The one who pushed open the half-closed door, interrupting Song Jingyuan, was Shen Weiyi, her face ghostly pale.
