Chapter 809: Chapter 316: Heartbroken Fairy Tale – No Matter How Vast the World, I Still Can’t Escape You (Part 2)

Just then someone came over to chat with Jiang Yichen, and she seized the opportunity to speak up, "Um... Brother Jiang, you go ahead and take care of business, we’ll go inside to greet Grandpa Ji."

The shawl draped on the girl’s shoulder slipped off, and a faint blue mark was vaguely visible on her fair skin. Jiang Yichen’s gaze passed over it without a ripple of emotion.

Looking at the girl’s clear apricot eyes, he nodded slightly with a smile, "Alright."

...

The Ji Family is a prestigious family in An City, and the guests who came to congratulate were either rich or noble.

The main characters tonight were Ji Huan and Fang Yi, the handsome man and beautiful woman standing together were a pleasing sight.

In front of others, Ji Huan always maintained a polite and modest demeanor, no matter who came to exchange pleasantries and congratulate him, he would politely nod in thanks.

Even when Lin Chu and Lu Huai’an came over to greet him, his deep-set features maintained a faint smile, with no hint of any anomaly in his words.

For some reason, in this magnificent hall brightly lit with dazzling lights, Ji Huan was undoubtedly the focus of the crowd, standing next to a beautiful and lovely fiancée, surrounded by bustling intersections of light, yet Lin Chu somehow saw a sense of indifferent loneliness in him.

Was it an illusion?

...

This kind of occasion is a cornerstone for the upper class to connect with power and broaden their network.

Lu Huai’an is a new business magnate, holding most of the power in the Lu Family, and people came one after another to exchange greetings and business cards.

Lin Chu actually disliked such occasions very much. If she were out with Lin Zongjun in the past, she would have already found an excuse to secretly leave, but given her age and identity now, she couldn’t continue to be so reckless and wilful.

As people grow up, they must gradually start shouldering their responsibilities.

Lin Zongjun only has her as a daughter, and she would have to eventually get used to these false and laughable conversations.

Unintentionally overhearing their conversations, she slightly tilted her head to look up at the man beside her. His hand was always on her waist, his warmth transmitted clearly through the thin fabric to her skin.

No matter who came forward to engage, he remained composed and indifferent, only responding occasionally with a few words.

It wasn’t until they were brought to a less conspicuous corner that Lin Chu finally had a chance to speak to him, "Lu Huai’an, what’s wrong with you just now? Do you know how strong your grip was? You nearly pinched my waist off."

Especially when Jiang Yichen asked her when she would be available, that squeeze nearly made her cry out, but with others present, she could only swallow her tears with a smile.

Once away from outsiders, Lu Huai’an’s expression darkened, his dark eyes fixed ominously on the girl’s face, "Weren’t you the one who claimed to love me to death? Such an important thing, you could actually lose it?"

He recognized the button on the clothes, of course.

No wonder when he returned on her birthday, he didn’t see the necklace on her neck.

Turns out, it was left in someone else’s car.

Lin Chu was a bit intimidated by the man’s displeased gaze, and her earlier momentum dissipated at once, turning from the one questioning to being questioned.

Her fingers instinctively reached for her neck, empty, nothing there.

A bit awkward.

With her head lowered, her voice was as small as a mosquito’s, "I didn’t know the necklace would get lost, and I was really upset about it, looked for it for a long time, practically turned the school’s athletic field and classroom upside down, others thought I was digging for gold."

Wearing that necklace for twenty years, how could she not be upset if it was lost.

Moreover, it wasn’t an ordinary necklace.

The girl lowered her little head, nestling inch by inch into his embrace like a newly born kitten, dissolving any anger Lu Huai’an had.

Until she was fully engulfed in his arms, the indescribable agitation in his chest seemed to dissipate slowly.

The dark ink in his eyes softened, and unwittingly, his tone softened too, "After two months you tell me that the item was with him, should I take this to mean that you’ve been well-behaved during this time, not causing trouble for me, hmm?"

Lin Chu encircled the man’s waist, raising her small face to look at him.

The shawl slipped off her shoulder, but with him shielding, nobody could see the faint embarrassed marks.

Her voice was light and soft, "I don’t even have his phone number, what trouble could I cause? If it hadn’t been by chance that night that I bumped into him, I wouldn’t have met him at all, or known he was back in An City."

She couldn’t understand why this man always harbored a latent hostility towards Jiang Yichen.
