Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 823 - 320: [Sad Fairy Tale] The Whale That Became an Isolated Island (Part 1)

Chapter 823: Chapter 320: [Sad Fairy Tale] The Whale That Became an Isolated Island (Part 1)

There are countless ideas fighting in my head, tangled up, Lin Chu still decided to... hold off for now.

What if when they get to the apartment, he has to go to the office...

They’re still on the road right now, if she said something wrong and made him angry, what would she do if he left her on the side of the road?

Hmm, better not say anything.

Lin Chu stopped playing the game, put her phone away, and quietly sat in the passenger seat without making any noise to disturb Lu Huai’an.

Riverfront Apartment was originally one of Lu Huai’an’s homes, before the marriage, he spent most of his time in the apartment instead of going to the Lu Family, so he didn’t need to move his luggage back and forth.

Lun Jun drove ahead to deliver Lin Chu’s things to Riverfront Apartment, and the hired help started on time and helped organize, before Lu Huai’an’s car arrived.

The weather in early October was quite comfortable.

After lunch, Lin Chu sat on the living room sofa basking in the sun; on the surface, she was reading a book, but in reality, hadn’t read a single word.

Her peripheral vision kept drifting to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, with no sign of any movement.

Resting her cheek on one hand, she appeared listless, murmuring in puzzlement, "Strange, what time is it? Isn’t he going to the office today?"

Staying home wasn’t Lu Huai’an’s usual habit.

Not in the mood to read, Lin Chu simply gave up.

Seeing the place hadn’t been lived in for a long time, servants were busy cleaning. Lin Chu personally made a cup of tea and brought it to the study.

Looking around everywhere, she dawdled for a long time before cautiously speaking, "Aren’t you busy today?"

Lu Huai’an’s eyes remain fixed on the documents on his desk, a chilly voice tinged with sarcasm, "Are you planning to bring someone over to the house, so you’re coming up with excuses to send me away and make room for yourself?"

Lin Chu, "..."

See, see, what did I say!

Though he showed no actual reaction on the surface, he had seen through it clearly early on. Thankfully she didn’t lie earlier in the car, or else the consequences would be unbearable.

She would surely be in for a brutal scolding.

She coughed awkwardly a couple of times and placed the teacup beside the man’s hand, "I didn’t mean that, don’t accuse me."

Lu Huai’an finally lifted his gaze to look at the girl.

The study was well-lit, the sun had not yet set, no need to turn on the lights, the room was bright enough.

The orange-yellow halo fell around his distinct fingers, as if such warm sunlight dispelled some of his chill, giving him a gentler aura.

His sharply defined features remained calm, and he asked lightly, "Then what do you mean?"

After taking that mysterious phone call, she’d been acting odd; usually she talks so much he’d considered calling the police, but now, all day she’d barely said even ten words.

Even during meals, she’d been absent-minded.

Lin Chu stood in front of the study desk, completely bathed in sunlight, finding it hard to keep her eyes open.

She crossed the table corner to the inside, collided with the man’s deep cold gaze, instinctively avoiding it, looking up at the ceiling.

Explaining in a low voice, "Um... well, it’s Jiang Yichen, he’s leaving An City tomorrow, said to have a meal together. I thought I had no plans this evening, so I agreed. The time’s right, I’m telling you as I’m getting ready to go out."

Might as well be straightforward to avoid potential trouble.

Lu Huai’an’s cold eyes studied the girl’s clean face with a sneer.

So it’s Jiang Yichen.

His sharply defined features hidden in the shadow untouched by sunlight, his dark gaze deepening with grimness, slender fingers alternating tapping on the desk, producing an intimidating sound.

Thin lips slightly parted, "Since you’ve already agreed, so this is just to inform me, is it?"

Slow, deliberate tone, filled with ominous undertones.

Lin Chu was not completely without temper or pliable enough to be shaped by him. In the year they’ve been married, with Lu Huai’an’s strong personality, she’d mostly yielded, so they haven’t quarreled.

Sometimes she found it laughable, she was only twenty, had all her edges already been worn down by Lu Huai’an?

She wasn’t like this before.

In that moment, she began to doubt, the marriage she’d lowered her dignity to obtain wasn’t what she wanted.

Her delicate brows relaxed, "I’m an adult, I have the right to make friends."

Lu Huai’an sensed the change in the girl’s aura, squinting as he scrutinized her, surface-level calm, "Go on."
