Chapter 778: 305.【Sad Fairy Tale】The One in Front is the Beloved (Part 4)

[...

When Lin Chu woke up, the side next to her was empty.

Because the air conditioning was on, reaching out her hand touched something cool.

There was no clock in the room, and she rolled back and forth on the bed for quite a while before getting up to find her phone.

She had slept until ten.

Is time tight? Since I didn’t know when you’d wake up, I didn’t prepare breakfast for you. Old Lu and I won’t be eating lunch at home. It won’t be much trouble to make lunch just for you; it’ll take ten minutes. After you eat, we’ll have the driver take you to school, alright?"

Lin Chu didn’t eat much at yesterday’s wedding and was up until midnight. It wasn’t until it was mentioned that she realized how hungry she was.

Your classes are in the evening, so there’s actually no rush.

Lin Chu nodded, "Okay, thank you, Mom."

...

Song Jingyuan went to the kitchen to instruct the servant to make lunch for Lin Chu, leaving only Lin Chu and Lu Zhengmao in the living room.

The silence made Lin Chu feel somewhat awkward.

Despite being quite capable, Lin Chu has been a little afraid of Lu Zhengmao since she was young. Stern and unsmiling, he was extremely strict with Lu Huai’an, even excessively so, totally different from the father figure she was familiar with.

She could naturally act spoiled in Song Jingyuan’s arms, but whenever Lu Zhengmao came home, she would immediately put away all childish behavior, sit like a primary school student, not look around, and dare not say anything unnecessary.

Every time, Lin Chu would wait until Lu Zhengmao went to work in the study and then casually find an excuse to slip away.

But now, using such tricks is clearly impossible.

Lin Chu is the younger generation, so she should be the one greeting Lu Zhengmao, but his aura was too overpowering, making her a bit timid.

Standing there for a while, she couldn’t find a topic to talk about.

She went to the dining room to brew a cup of tea, respectfully placing it on the tea table in front of Lu Zhengmao, and softly called, "Dad."

Without moving a muscle, Lu Zhengmao responded lightly, "Mm."

Even though it was just a single syllable, it carried a tone of latent authority.

Only after he finished reading the entire passage, put the newspaper aside, picked up the teacup, and looked at Lin Chu, who was bowing her head and standing obediently.

"The servant will need some time to prepare the meal, you can sit and wait."

This sentence made the tense Lin Chu feel a wave of relief, and she smiled gently and said, "Mm, okay."

Although she relaxed a bit, her legs remained stiff, sitting on the sofa with her back straight, not daring to show even a hint of laziness.

Lu Zhengmao drank the tea, watching the little girl across from him, looking as if she was on high alert, found it somewhat amusing.

He didn’t dislike Lin Family’s girl, nor could he say he was fond of her.

Now that they’re family, there’s no reason to exclude her.

"Xiao Chu is in her second year of university now?"

"Yes, the term just began in September," Lin Chu responded.

Most girls her age, not yet twenty, should be enjoying the wonderful days of youth, yet she had already become someone’s wife.

She had surpassed the starting line early.

Lu Zhengmao realized he shouldn’t be too harsh on this daughter-in-law. Though she’s of noble birth, her innate pride and righteousness weren’t hard to see. Though a princess cherished dearly in the Lin Family, she showed no airs of superiority at the Lu Family.

Watching her grow up doesn’t mean understanding her.

There’s plenty of time ahead, so take it slow.

"Study well, and try not to skip classes unless you have something important."

Lin Chu’s recently relaxed nerves tightened again as she focused all her attention on answering, "I will, Dad."

...

While the servant prepared the lunch, Song Jingyuan was also in the kitchen, leaving Lin Chu feeling like she was on pins and needles.

Finally, when it was almost time to eat, Shen Weiyi returned.

"Weiwei, why did you suddenly come back?" Song Jingyuan asked, "Didn’t you say there was an event at the company, and you’d be staying at a nearby hotel for a few days?"

The time was almost noon.

Shen Weiyi knew Lu Huai’an had probably already left for the company, and since Lin Chu was still a student, she couldn’t possibly stay home until noon, so she chose to return to the Lu Family at this time.

But she didn’t expect Lin Chu to still be there.

She glanced lightly at Lin Chu in the dining room drinking honey water, then politely said to Song Jingyuan, "I left something at home and came back to get it."

Song Jingyuan nodded, "Oh, I see."

Lu Zhengmao, having changed clothes, came downstairs and wasn’t particularly surprised to see Shen Weiyi, "You haven’t had lunch yet, you can eat with Xiao Chu. Jingyuan and I have to go out for a while."

His voice carried an authoritative tone, even in the most ordinary words, without any intention of pressure, yet to Shen Weiyi, it sounded like a command that could not be disobeyed.
