Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 815 - 318: [Brokenhearted Fairy Tale] No Matter How Vast the World, I Still Can’t Escape You (Part 4)

Chapter 815: Chapter 318: [Brokenhearted Fairy Tale] No Matter How Vast the World, I Still Can’t Escape You (Part 4)

After a week of intermittent snow, it finally stopped. The world outside was silent.

Stepping on the snow, the crunching sound was clear.

Jiang Muzhou skipped class and didn’t come to school. Lin Chu attended class alone, feeling extremely bored. Ever since she got married, she had cut ties with those frivolous friends, and her private life was pitifully dull.

Good students would sit in the front, while the lazy ones wouldn’t shrink to the back, rather... they wouldn’t come to class at all, like Jiang Muzhou.

During the final exam season, except for the top student Xu Qiubai, Lin Chu hadn’t seen a trace of Ji Wanxia and Jiang Muzhou.

The latter not showing up at school for a year wasn’t surprising; anyway, his father was a mob boss, and even if he didn’t write his name on the paper, he could easily get full marks on his report card.

But it was so unusual for Ji Wanxia, known as the well-behaved girl, to miss exams.

Unable to reach her, Lin Chu didn’t have time to visit the Ji Family, but her heart remained anxious.

Later, while Lin Chu was nestled on the sofa peeling an apple, she finally got through to Ji Wanxia. She almost wanted to clasp her hands together to thank heaven and earth.

"Ji, what have you been doing these days? I’ve made so many calls. Didn’t you think you should at least return a call to reassure a worried good friend?"

Goodness, besides Lu Huai’an, Ji Wanxia was the second person who made her reach for her phone first thing every morning.

On the other end, Ji Wanxia was standing alone outside the boarding gate, with black sunglasses covering half of her face, and a grey coat draped over her arm. She was only wearing a beige sweater dress.

He lowered his head, her long hair cascading down, her delicate features showing little emotion.

Apologetically, she spoke, "Xiao Chu, sorry, I’ve been home these days, with my phone off, not paying attention."

Hearing her voice, Lin Chu actually felt relieved.

Matters of the heart, no one could help her with.

She vaguely heard a burst of noise, which struck Lin Chu as slightly unusual.

She dropped the half-peeled fruit, sat up straight, and asked, "Where are you? When did the Ji Family move into a house so big it echoes? I didn’t know."

Staying at home, it sounded unlike it.

Ji Wanxia pressed her lips together and softly answered, "I’m at the airport."

Air! Port!

Lin Chu paused, one foot stepping outside the door, the other still in the warm indoor space, "It’s just a few days before the New Year, are you planning a trip?"

"No, I’m going abroad to study. Grandpa has already arranged it with the school over there. I’m going to check out the environment first. If it’s confirmed, I probably won’t come back before graduation."

After saying this, Lin Chu was silent for a long time.

"Ji Wanxia, why didn’t you wait until you got there to tell me?"

She showed no signs of anger, her voice was calm, but if you stood before her, you’d sense danger.

Lu Huai’an emerged from the study, noticing Lin Chu standing expressionlessly at the bedroom door, he lightly frowned.

He had only talked about her going barefoot this morning, yet she was doing so again. Was she deliberately going against him?

Leaning against the door frame, Lin Chu suddenly felt as if a cold breeze blew past, even though the corridor’s doors and windows were shut, and with Lu Huai’an in the small building, and the Lu Family’s servants not coming over, the wind outside, no matter how strong, couldn’t penetrate.

It must have been her imagination.

She heard the person on the other end apologize again in a low, small voice, with nothing more to say after those three words.

The anger that had shot up to her head inexplicably dissipated.

Softening her voice, "Didn’t you say An University’s campus is the most beautiful place? Why are you suddenly going abroad to study?"

There was less than a week until New Year’s Eve.

If she wanted to study abroad, she should have chosen the start of the school year, not left during a family reunion holiday.

It was very suspicious.

Sitting in the waiting area, Ji Wanxia slightly hunched, her elbows resting on her knees, her palms covering her cheeks, her hands were cold, even her palms were cold.

Her light eyes seemed covered in a veil of mist, and tears falling from the corners of her eyes went unnoticed.

Her low voice carried a weary hoarseness, "Xiao Chu, please don’t ask, okay? I don’t want to talk about it."

Having drunk too much, made mistakes.

He was her half-brother, sharing the same blood, yet she... she indulged and kissed him.
