Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 789 - 308. [Sad Fairy Tale] He fell from the edge of the cliff (1)_3

Chapter 789: 308. [Sad Fairy Tale] He fell from the edge of the cliff (1)_3

Lin Chu rubbed her eyes, and the person in front of her was still there. She was finally certain that she wasn’t seeing things.

Her expression was puzzled, "Jiang, Brother Jiang, how come you..."

Jiang Yichen waited for a moment, and since the girl didn’t continue, he asked, "Do you want to ask when I returned to An City? Or do you want to ask why I’m here?"

Lin Chu stared at him without blinking and answered softly, "...both."

"I returned to the country a week ago. I just came here to meet a friend nearby and happened to run into you," Jiang Yichen’s gaze fell on the high heels at the girl’s feet, "Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride."

Jiang Yichen and Jiang Muzhou have completely different personalities.

One is very scheming, the other is carefree.

Lin Chu can bully and order Jiang Muzhou around casually, but inexplicably feels a bit scared of Jiang Yichen, even though he has always been gentle in front of her.

She bit her lip, "I... I’m going home."

Jiang Yichen smiled, raised his hand, and naturally brushed the hair blown by the wind off the girl’s nose.

He walked to the car, opened the passenger door, and said to the person opposite, "I have something to do, you can take a taxi back by yourself."

His voice was low and gentle, yet carried an air of command that brooked no refusal.

Qiao An nodded compliantly, "...okay."

She took her things and got out of the car, not intending to greet Lin Chu, and wanted to walk away, but was recognized immediately.

Three cold words rang out behind her, "You, stop."

Qiao An’s body stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She turned and looked at Lin Chu, whose face was indifferent, and smiled politely, "Miss Lin, did you call me for something?"

Seeing Qiao An getting out of the car wearing Jiang Yichen’s suit jacket was like a bolt of lightning striking Lin Chu’s head.

She had seen disgusting people but never someone as extraordinarily infuriating as Qiao An.

But with Jiang Yichen still present, she couldn’t say anything. Her expression remained calm, "Nothing, just called out for fun."

The good-natured Qiao An didn’t get angry, nodded politely, said goodbye, and walked away in her high heels.

As if the little episode had never occurred, Jiang Yichen’s deep eyes remained unfazed as he looked at Lin Chu and smiled, "What are you standing there for? Get in the car."

Lin Chu stood there without moving, "Brother Jiang, you should take care of your business first, I can go back home by myself."

Hearing this, Jiang Yichen chuckled helplessly.

Clearly, she didn’t understand.

Without explaining further, he walked over to the girl, placed his wide palm on her shoulder, and nudged her towards the car.

Lin Chu mechanically moved her steps, completely passive.

She sat in the passenger seat, her entwined fingers betraying her nervousness, and it wasn’t until Jiang Yichen leaned over to fasten her seatbelt that she came back to herself, hastily saying, "I’ll do it myself."

Jiang Yichen, watching her scramble like a startled little rabbit, couldn’t help but smile.

Was he really that scary...

"Did you have a fight with Lu Huai’an?"

Lin Chu was still racking her brain to find an excuse for Jiang Yichen to let her off at some intersection, when she suddenly heard this.

Lu Huai’an...

The hidden bitterness in her heart began to surge.

She lowered her head and answered lightly, "...No." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

To change the subject, or perhaps she was genuinely curious, she asked, "How did you know..."

Her marriage to Lu Huai’an hadn’t been announced publicly, and Jiang Muzhou wouldn’t have told him.

"Although I haven’t been back to An City in a long time, I still have a few reliable friends," Jiang Yichen turned his head slightly to glance at the girl’s simple little face, his voice deep and gentle, "Xiao Chu, when you lie, there are actually many flaws."

Lin Chu’s nature was very straightforward. She’s no match for someone with even a bit of craftiness.

"It can’t be considered a fight," some things fester in the heart and become even more uncomfortable, "he said I was being unreasonable."

When Shen Weiyi fell down the stairs, and Lu Huai’an carried Shen Weiyi to the hospital, Lin Chu didn’t actually feel too heartbroken.

Even if it were a stranger, one wouldn’t just watch them lying on the floor bleeding without helping. She wasn’t that aggressive and selfish.

What made her sad was the push from Lu Huai’an, even if it was unintentional. But with that kind of force, how could a defenseless girl not be pushed over?

What angered her even more was that after he drove away from the Lu Family, he hadn’t called her once. At least, he should express some concern.

Her left wrist was still faintly hurting, unsure if it was just her imagination or an old injury flaring up again.

The light from the neon lights cast a flickering glow on Jiang Yichen’s face, adding to his enigmatic aura.

"If what Lu Huai’an wants is a wife who’s sensible, considerate, and doesn’t make any fuss, the world is full of them. Except for not loving him, everything else is perfect."

Hearing this, Lin Chu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: When it comes to men with more life experience, it truly makes a difference.

At twenty-five, Lu Huai’an wouldn’t think this way.

"Brother Jiang, am I really noisy and annoying?" Lin Chu sighed, "Be honest, I won’t get mad."

Encountering a red light, Jiang Yichen stopped the car.

Turning his head, his eyes met a pair of clean, clear eyes, within which seemed to be a crystal-clear pool.

He curved his lips into a smile and answered, "You have no idea just how adorable you actually are."

————

Jiang Yichen dropped Lin Chu off at her doorstep, and only after his car disappeared from her view did Lin Chu head into the courtyard.

With his daughter coming home alone at night, Lin Zongjun certainly wouldn’t think she was homesick. While Lin Chu was eating in the dining room, his eyebrows remained furrowed, and the cigarette in his hand never went out.

Lin Chu caught on from the smell of smoke, laid down her chopsticks, drank half a cup of honey water, walked into the living room, and took the cigarette from Lin Zongjun’s lips, putting it out in the ashtray.

Pretending to be angry, she glared at him, "Dad, you’re not allowed to smoke that much."

Lin Zongjun chuckled, "Alright, Dad won’t smoke anymore," He looked down at the girl snuggled beside him coyly, asking, "Xiao Chu, why did you come back alone?"

Lin Chu paused.

Releasing her grip on Lin Zongjun’s arm, she randomly picked an orange and began peeling it, "I... I missed Dad, that’s all."

"Don’t lie."

Lin Chu, "..."

After peeling the orange, she fed it to Lin Zongjun in a flattering manner, grinning foolishly, "Oh Dad, why would you think your daughter is lying? Am I the kind of person who would lie?"

Every time his daughter acted innocent and tried to get away with things, Lin Zongjun truly felt helpless, "Xiao Chu..."

Bzz... bzz... bzz...

The sound of the phone vibrating interrupted Lin Zongjun’s words.

The phone on the table was Lin Chu’s, and the lit-up screen flashed two words: Husband.

Lin Chu saw it, and of course, so did Lin Zongjun.

Lin Zongjun clearly captured the sparkle in his daughter’s previously indifferent eyes and the upturn of her lips at that moment.

All her emotions seemed to be tied to just one person, which would make life quite difficult.

Lin Chu didn’t understand her father’s complex feelings at that moment. She abandoned the orange in her hand to grab her phone, "Dad, I’m sleepy. I’ll head upstairs first. You should get some rest too."

Someone finally remembered to call her.

Lin Zongjun chuckled, waving his hand, "Go on."

...

Lin Chu hurried upstairs to the second floor, and after closing the door, she answered the phone.

Pretending to be indifferent, "Hello?"

Lu Huai’an had just gotten off the plane and was still in the car, "Home at the Lin’s?"

Just passed a bridge, and someone in the distance was setting off fireworks. The fireworks burst into the night sky like a dazzling array of blossoming colors.

At that moment, Lu Huai’an thought if Lin Chu were there, she would definitely be happy.

The car had already driven away, and he himself didn’t know why he called her.

Lin Chu rolled her eyes and muttered, "You already know, so why bother asking."

"Not letting the driver take you, do you feel it’s safe to take a taxi at night?"

"I didn’t take a taxi back, Brother Jiang dropped me off at the gate."

Brother Jiang...

Lu Huai’an’s face darkened instantly, his low voice tinged with a dangerous aura, "Which Brother Jiang?"
