Chapter 843: Chapter 325: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] The Whale That Became a Lonely Island (Part 6)

"What a coincidence," Lu Mingchuan walked up to the two, a gentleman’s smile gracing his features after the initial surprise, "Xiao Chu, not in a good mood? You look a bit down."

He was speaking to Lu Huai’an, but his gaze was on Lin Chu.

This wasn’t the first time Lin Chu had seen Lu Mingchuan, but it was the first time she encountered him with Lu Huai’an.

The other party’s gaze was gentlemanly and gentle, without a hint of aggression or hostility, yet she always felt a bit odd being looked at like this.

The large hand around her waist tightened, naturally drawing her closer to the man’s side, without a trace of awkwardness.

"Not in a good mood?"

The man’s deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear, pulling Lin Chu back to her senses. She smiled, "No, the classes at school were just too boring, so I’m a bit sleepy."

This was considered an answer to Lu Mingchuan’s question.

"I must have overthought it," Lu Mingchuan chuckled, his gaze shifting from Lin Chu to Lu Huai’an beside her.

"Attending a social event here? I’ve been back country for quite some time and haven’t had the chance to catch up with my fourth brother. I know work keeps you busy, so I’m reluctant to intrude. When you have time, let’s sit down and chat? I didn’t attend your wedding, but I’ve met Xiao Chu privately a few times; otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing if word got out."

Met a few times...

Lu Huai’an caught these five words, something Lin Chu had never mentioned to him.

The neon lights around the bar cast shadows, accentuating Lu Huai’an’s sharp features with an air of inscrutability.

"Just here to meet up with some friends, big brother is busy, so Xiao Chu and I won’t disturb you."

Even in front of Old Master Lu, he maintained this indifferent demeanor, so calling his attitude aloof would be an understatement.

Lu Mingchuan must have been used to it, as he didn’t mind, stepping aside to clear the path. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

As Lin Chu was led into Jin Jue, she experienced the same feeling she had a year ago at the Lu Family’s old residence. Even though they were far away, she could still feel those two gazes on her back.

She couldn’t help but look back.

In the slowly darkening night, Lu Mingchuan remained in the same spot, not even changing his angle.

When Lin Chu looked at him, he gave a strange smile.

A chill ran up her spine, leaving her shuddering.

"Ah!"

Her foot slipped, and Lin Chu cried out in alarm. Fortunately, Lu Huai’an was quick and caught her, preventing her from falling into the bar’s entrance.

Lu Huai’an glanced at the girl who was gasping and clutching her chest, frowning as he scolded, "Keep looking back and I’ll gouge your eyes out."

Once steady, Lin Chu unconsciously leaned into his embrace, whispering, "It’s not that, but I feel like your big brother is a bit strange. Are your relations not very good?"

The Lin Family had only her, so she lacked the experience of siblings scheming against each other for family wealth.

But from the moment Lu Huai’an was born, he was immersed in such an environment.

The kidnapping many years ago, if not for Lu Mingchuan, he wouldn’t have almost died in some remote abandoned factory.

Plotting against each other had become commonplace.

It was merely a facade of peace maintained for outsiders to see.

Lu Huai’an’s stern face showed no emotion, but beneath his dark eyes, a storm was brewing. He asked softly, "Strange in what way?"

When Lin Chu looked outside again, Lu Mingchuan was gone.

She even wondered if the cold shiver earlier was just her imagination...

"I can’t say, but I once ran into him at the entrance of Jin Jue and found his wallet."

Inside the wallet was a photo of Shen Weiyi.

Lu Huai’an’s deep black eyes showed indifference as he stared at the girl’s unadorned yet radiant face. He gave a cold laugh, saying slowly, "Lin Chu, you have quite a colorful private life."

The grip on her waist tightened, and Lin Chu felt the coldness emanating from the man, feeling inexplicably puzzled.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It’s quite creepy; I was here for a legitimate reason and went home after just a few minutes."

That day was Lu Huai’an’s birthday.

He had rushed back from the United States, not even staying for a meal, and after exhausting Lin Chu half to death, he left quietly for the airport again.

When Lin Chu awoke in the evening, he was already nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Muzhou called to say he saw Gao Jian, who bullied Ji Wanxia, at Jin Jue, but missed him. Lin Chu had encountered Lu Mingchuan at the bar’s entrance.
