Chapter 829: Chapter 321: [Brokenhearted Fairytale] The Whale Who Became an Island (Part 2)_3

The shirt he was wearing was still the same one from yesterday evening before she left, with disordered creases across the chest and elbow areas, a faint hint of stubble on his chin, and noticeable red veins in his pupils.

Compared to his usual neatly dressed appearance in suits, Lu Huai’an now exuded a sense of desolation amid his indifference.

The vibration of her phone pulled Lin Chu back to reality. It was probably a reply from Jiang Muhui on WeChat, but she didn’t check it.

Stepping forward to Lu Huai’an, with a faint smile on her lips, she said, "Have you finished talking? I was passing by and thought to check in. Is she okay?"

Lu Huai’an’s calm gaze fixed on the girl’s smiling face, with a sea of darkness deep within his black eyes.

He didn’t answer her question, just casually remarked, "You didn’t come home last night."

It was a statement, not a question.

Lin Chu didn’t understand where he got the nerve to speak to her with such a look and tone. She didn’t feel angry or any other emotion, just found it somewhat amusing.

So, she just let out a chuckle. "Didn’t you also not come home?"

Even during the time when Song Jingyuan was ill, Lin Chu never saw this man staying by the bedside, sleepless through the night.

She didn’t want to continue with this topic, as if not noticing the man’s cooling aura; the smile in her eyebrows remained beautifully charming.

Not expecting him to respond, she just placed the fruit basket she was holding on the nearby bench.

"I just heard Shen Weiyi speaking; it seems there’s no big problem. I won’t intrude on your family’s warm moment. The fruit is on the bench. Take it or leave it, it’s up to you."

After saying this, she stepped forward, walking past the man, preparing to take the elevator downstairs.

As the two passed by each other, Lin Chu heard his deep and indifferent voice, "Stop."

Lin Chu chuckled softly, not pausing her steps.

Why should she stop? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

What gives him the right to command her like that?

The sound of high heels tapping on the floor was crisp and lively, capturing Lu Huai’an’s attention amid the light, alternating footsteps—a low laugh from the girl.

It sounded both mocking and sarcastic.

Lu Huai’an turned around, half his face hidden in shadow, with his dark eyes twisting into an endless dark void, coldly watching the girl’s slowly retreating figure.

With sharp-featured calmness, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, coldly uttering two words, "Lin Chu."

The doctors entered Shen Weiyi’s ward, where the people inside were not to be offended but needed to be handled with care, with all details explained thoroughly, which took quite a long time.

For a moment, the corridor was empty; Lin Chu seemed to hear her name resonate from the man’s mouth.

She didn’t walk forward further, not because she felt threatened, but suddenly curious about what he was going to say.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Besides teaching, I have other things to do. I’m not as idle as you think, I’m quite busy."

Rushing out, even with a bare face, she still carried a fairy aura, especially as she stood under the sunlight, her face still smiling—beautiful from every angle, compelling people’s attention.

The air was filled with the scent of disinfectant, Lu Huai’an standing at the end of the hallway, like a century-old cold pine standing alone in the snow.

Cold, distant, indifferent.

"Having a meal doesn’t take the entire night. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?"

Every word soaked in icy chill.

After hearing it, Lin Chu found herself quite laughable.

So, Lu Huai’an assumed she didn’t come home last night because she was with Jiang Yichen...

Wherever she was, if he really wanted to know, he just needed to make a phone call and wait half an hour.

Her phone wasn’t turned off; he didn’t even ask if it was because Shen Weiyi’s situation was too critical and he didn’t have time to care about her tantrums, or perhaps he didn’t care at all?

Lin Chu was smiling, but that smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Calmly responding, "It was just a meal and a chat, no kissing or cuddling in bed. Why are you looking at me like that? It’s quite scary. Someone might think I was cheating on you."

The air plunged into dead silence.

Half a minute later, Lin Chu heard the man’s footsteps slowly approaching.

She lifted her steps to leave, only to have her wrist grabbed by the man who had already reached her side, throwing her entire body against the wall. As her back collided with the tile, it made a dull thud.
