Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 870 - 331: [Heartbroken Fairy Tale] Fleeting Shadows (Part 6)

Chapter 870: Chapter 331: [Heartbroken Fairy Tale] Fleeting Shadows (Part 6)

Old Sir Lu remained silent without speaking.

Lu Mingchuan seemed lost in memory, his gaze gentle and nostalgic, even his words carried the softness of winter sunlight, "Many years ago, I met her."

If it wasn’t for his superb acting, the encounter he spoke of with Lin Chu years ago actually happened.

The truth is difficult to distinguish.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Lu Huai’an’s movement of tapping the armrest came to a sudden halt. After an unknown time, he looked up at the opposite Lu Mingchuan.

A cold sneer surfaced at the corner of his eyes, "Love at first sight?"

"Sort of," Lu Mingchuan nodded, his handsome features displaying a sense of remorse, "Huai’an, it happened already, Xiao Chu is your wife, you have every right to be angry, but the fault lies with me, I hope you don’t take it out on Xiao Chu."

Yes, very sincere.

He seemed to want to say more, but Old Sir Lu’s powerful voice interrupted the rest of his words, "Enough."

He extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, his aged eyes still sharp like a soldier’s, his gaze swept over the brothers, then looked towards Lin Chu huddled in the corner of the sofa.

Complex and difficult to discern.

After a long silence, Old Sir Lu finally spoke, "Huai’an, take the girl home first, I’ll give you the explanation you’re owed, Mingchuan, come with me to the next room."

Lu Mingchuan nodded and followed behind him.

Before leaving, he apologized once again to Lu Huai’an.

————

The silence in the room was broken by Lu Jun bringing the clothes he had bought.

The blanket covering her was pulled open by the man’s large hand, Lin Chu woke up suddenly from the darkness, pressing hard on the corner of the blanket, silently avoiding towards the inside.

"I’ll dress myself."

Because of her actions, the black within Lu Huai’an’s dark eagle eyes increased.

The anger rolling inside had already subsided in these half an hour, his voice was very calm, "I didn’t believe what he said."

When the Lu Family’s three generations talked outside, even though the two rooms were only separated by half a wall, with no door, Lin Chu heard not a single word.

Her body, curled in the corner from maintaining the same position for so long, had become numb, even the fingers tightly grasping the blanket’s corner were stiff.

The beautiful features became extremely pale, the initial pallor faded away.

She didn’t look at the man standing in front of her, kept her head down, her expression vacant and dazed.

"Lu Huai’an, leave, I want to be alone."

The cold and distant tone in her hoarse voice was unmistakable.

Lu Huai’an’s hand, pushed aside, lingered in the air for a moment.

Lu Mingchuan’s story sounded so captivating, yet to him, it was just a carefully woven lie.

His hand, frozen in mid-air, slowly clenched, then gradually relaxed, leaned down, and embraced her.

"Xiao Chu, I know nothing happened, so don’t be afraid of me, dress up, let’s go home."

In Lin Chu’s memory, Lu Huai’an was never like this.

Any man would be rightfully angry.

Yet, he remained calm, saying again and again he believed in her, but actually, he simply didn’t care.

Forced to stay in the man’s embrace, Lin Chu had no strength left to push him away, "So you think I’d forget what happened last night?"

The faint ghostly voice was both mocking and sarcastic.

Lu Huai’an’s movements paused, after removing the suit jacket draped on the girl’s shoulders, the bruises over her fair skin came into his view.

The pain hidden within his heart began to stir, gradually spreading outward, his dark eyes were unfathomable, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.

Lin Chu showed no sign of resistance, Lu Huai’an dressed her completely, despite his movements being unfamiliar, some tenderness and care could still be seen in it.

Lu Huai’an went to the bathroom to get a clean towel, soaked it with hot water, and then returned to the room.

After wiping away the tears on her face, the makeup covering the tiredness in her eyes was also removed by the towel.

Finally, he sat on the sofa and took the girl into his arms, "Last night I was wrong, I hurt you, you can pay me back a hundredfold, however makes you happy is up to you."

Upon hearing the man’s words, Lin Chu suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Lu is joking, publicly I’m your subordinate, privately I used despicable means to elevate myself to Mrs. Lu, the third person..."

"Lin Chu," Lu Huai’an interrupted her, his voice deeper, "I’ve told you, you’re not some third person."

She’d asked once, in a dream.

At that time, he replied.

Leaning against the man’s embrace, Lin Chu could clearly feel his gradually rising anger.

But she no longer cared.

"You have a marriage engagement with Shen Weiyi, I’ve known for awhile, even though those three words sound bad, I did it, so it’s my own fault, I can’t blame you."

Why did she faint, why was she lying naked on Lu Mingchuan, why did Old Sir Lu happen to come to this room, why was the timing calculated so strategically...

Isn’t it ridiculous?

Trapped in a conspiracy, only to realize at the end.

Even though nothing happened, Lu Mingchuan spoke as if it really did, like they actually slept together.

The photo in Lu Mingchuan’s wallet is of Shen Weiyi.

The clothes she brought here were for Shen Weiyi’s photoshoot.

The first person to find her in the corner, silently pulling the blanket to expose the marks on her shoulder to Old Sir Lu’s view, was also Shen Weiyi.

Being accustomed to being a lesser person, Lin Chu inevitably thought more than others.

"Lu Huai’an, let’s get a divorce."
