After a long time, he spoke softly, "There will."
The world is not very big.
Just like Lu Huai’an eventually found Lin Chu.
———
By the time Lu Huai’an arrived, dinner was already over.
Because Jiang Jiang accidentally knocked over a wine glass and stained Jiang Yichen’s clothes, he went to the restroom, leaving only Lin Chu and Jiang Jiang at the table.
Jiang Jiang was dumbfounded, watching the man who appeared out of nowhere hold her future ’mom.’ She couldn’t help but get a little angry.
With a pouty face, she asked crisply, "Uncle, who are you?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Lu Huai’an just glanced at the little girl indifferently, with not the slightest emotional fluctuation in his dark eyes, "Watch her, don’t let her run around."
After saying this to the waiter beside him, he carried Lin Chu out of the restaurant.
Lin Chu had only drunk some red wine on an empty stomach, her head dizzy, but she wasn’t very drunk. She was dining with Jiang Yichen; of course, he wouldn’t let her get drunk.
"Put me down, Jiang Jiang is still so small and alone, it’s not safe, what if someone with bad intentions takes her away?"
Perhaps because of the mild dizziness, her voice was soft and even the fist pushing against the man’s shoulder lacked force.
Lu Huai’an didn’t stop walking, the dark color lurking deep in his black eyes not leaking a bit, still maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
"Can just anyone enter a restaurant of this grade?"
Jiang Yichen had a picky stomach and basically wouldn’t enter anything less than a five-star restaurant.
Lin Chu knew Lu Huai’an had a point, but she was still worried, "Even so, it’s not right, Lu Huai’an, stop walking."
From her tone, it was clear she was a little angry.
Lu Huai’an actually stopped, at the restaurant entrance, where people came and went. Even if there were those who knew him, they wisely avoided him.
The icy coldness he exuded was too intense, deterring others from approaching.
The dark color in his eyes gradually solidified, becoming increasingly cold.
Angry?
She dined with another man, he didn’t show any emotion, yet she became the one to get angry first?
"You can abandon your own son, yet are more concerned about an outsider instead," he said in a low, slow voice tinged with a frosty aura, "Xiao Chu, are you planning to torment me this way?"
Lin Chu chuckled softly, "Who do you call an outsider?"
Qi Ming was at the Riverfront Apartment; if she turned back, she’d likely not come out again.
"In these five years, we’ve been together almost every day. Qi Ming has been playing with Jiang Jiang since birth. Why drag children into adult matters?"
Lu Huai’an’s hand on the woman’s shoulder tightened subtly. He was still holding her, standing where he had stopped.
His thin lips curled into an icy arc, "So you’re saying I’m the outsider intruding on your lives?"
"Isn’t it obvious?" Lin Chu smiled faintly.
She seemed to feel no pain, so she didn’t struggle, leaning softly in the man’s embrace.
She continued slowly, "If it weren’t for you, the robber, we might already be a family."
A low, slow laugh spilled from Lu Huai’an’s throat, with the cold ice in his black eyes quietly melting, almost seeping through the eye membrane.
He gazed at the woman’s slightly flushed cheeks, due to the alcohol, the corner of his lips lifting in a mocking arc, "Didn’t you say you’d only love me in this lifetime?"
The tone was slow, immersed in danger.
The curious glances of passersby fell on the couple, but no one paid them any mind.
From Lin Chu’s angle, she could see the dazzling neon lights not far away. Her vision was somewhat blurry, so they all merged into one large blur.
The smile on her brows and eyes was bright and bold, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
Her voice was desolate and empty, "When I loved you, I could die for you. When the love is gone, it’s gone. Even if you wanted my life now, I still wouldn’t love you."
Love was like a flame, passionate and bright.
Hatred was equally open and unreserved.
Lu Huai’an’s stern brows stiffened for a moment, but only for a brief few seconds before it quickly disappeared.
He carried Lin Chu towards the car, his lips still curved, "But now, I only find you pleasing to the eye, what should I do?"
After leaving the restaurant, the sounds around were noisy in waves.
Even in such a situation, his deep, slow voice still reached Lin Chu’s ear.
It wasn’t until she was tossed into the passenger seat that those chaotic noises were shut out.
