Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 796 - 311. [Sad Fairy Tale] He fell from the edge of the cliff (4)

"What time is it? Are you getting up?"

The curtains were drawn, so the light in the bedroom was soft. The quiet morning had a faint glow that made one feel a lazy inclination to escape reality.

Lu Huai’an seemed to have grown accustomed to the girl’s closeness, or perhaps he knew that if he pushed her away, she would just come back, so he didn’t bother wasting energy.

The warmth in his dark eyes gradually faded, returning to clarity. He answered lightly, "It’s still early, sleep a little longer."

"Are you really tired?" Lin Chu noticed the tiredness in the man’s eyes and spoke softly, "I seem to be unable to sleep, although I miss you, I will surely disturb your rest. What do you want to eat? I’ll go to the kitchen and tell the housekeeper."

As she spoke, she propped herself up to get out of bed.

Just as she lifted the quilt, her foot had yet to touch the ground when she was pulled back by the man behind her, grabbing her arm.

"Mom and Dad don’t know I’ve returned. If you let it slip," Lu Huai’an pinched the girl’s chin, threatening with a blank expression, "I’ll throw you into the pond to feed the fish."

The Lu Family men were most afraid of letting personal affairs concerning love interfere with work.

Lu Zhengmao lost control over Lu Family because Song Jingyuan became his weakness, causing him to repeatedly miss great opportunities, leaving the chairman a position still held by Old Master Lu.

Lu Huai’an completed four days’ worth of work in two days, got Lun Jun to secretly manage the surrounding staff, and only then did he have time to return to the country.

Taking such a huge risk, God knows why...

"Ah?" Lin Chu stared in surprise; she hadn’t expected that Mr. and Mrs. Lu were unaware of Lu Huai’an’s return home.

There was only one path to enter the small building, which had to be crossed from the main building. Although he came back at dawn, surely there must have been some noise opening and closing the doors.

He didn’t even alert the house servants, indicating just how cautious he was.

Lin Chu stared blankly at the handsome face so close at hand, and after a moment, a bright smile spread across her brows and eyes. "So, only I know."

It was as if a candy slowly melted in her heart, leaving a sweet taste.

Lu Huai’an released the fingers pinching the girl’s jaw, lay back on the pillow, and closed his eyes.

He said calmly, "Don’t overthink it. It’s just for convenience. If only you know, and if the old master hears about my return, and pursues my negligence, I would just need to make an example of you, not harm or miss anyone else."

Lin Chu wasn’t angry. Instead, her smile grew wider.

She leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips, her voice soft and pleasing, "Sleep a little longer. I’ll go next door to wash up so as not to disturb you."

Saying that, she got out of bed, didn’t wear noise-making slippers, and tiptoed out of the bedroom quietly.

Beautiful Lin, in a happy mood, even hummed a light tune when brushing her teeth, her thoughts full of Lu Huai’an sneaking back from abroad for her.

Today was his birthday, and it was just the two of them.

After getting dressed, Lin Chu went to the main building. Mr. and Mrs. Lu should have gone out exercising since there was no sign of them in the living room or the courtyard.

Shen Weiyi was up early, sitting in the dining room drinking freshly squeezed juice.

Seeing Lin Chu, she showed no reaction, pretending as if she didn’t exist.

Though they had not lived under the same roof for a long time, Lin Chu had somewhat figured out Shen Weiyi’s character.

Very proud, but not very polite.

Only when there was someone else around, Shen Weiyi’s attitude towards her seemed different.

Lin Chu didn’t care.

She drove to the supermarket, bringing a large shopping bag, enough to hold a day’s worth of ingredients for two people. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

On a birthday, without a cake, there certainly couldn’t be a lack of longevity noodles either.

...

When Lin Chu returned to the Lu Family, Shen Weiyi was no longer in the dining room.

She told the housekeeper, "I’m going to have exams soon, need to review without being disturbed, so there’s no need for the servants to clean the small building."

The housekeeper harbored no suspicions, just cast an extra glance at the bag Lin Chu was holding, "Okay, I understand."

Noticing the housekeeper’s gaze, Lin Chu cleared her throat and said naturally, "Also, I bought a lot of snacks, won’t come over for meals. If Mom and Dad ask, just say what I told you."

The housekeeper nodded respectfully, "Yes."

The small building was Lu Huai’an’s residence. Usually, no one would go there, except for housekeeping staff, only Song Jingyuan might visit.

To be cautious, before returning to the small building, Lin Chu sent a text to Song Jingyuan, telling her she wouldn’t eat today and needed to study diligently.
