Upon hearing, Lu Mingchuan let out a low chuckle.
He walked slowly towards Lin Chu, his steps asured, and with a gaze full of interest, he said, "You’re so interesting. It’s a pity we t too late."
She had seen candid people before, but never soone as unabashed as her.
Lin Chu did not shy away either. The two stood under the streetlamp, surrounded by the warm halo of light, and she finally saw the deep, unfathomable humor in Lu Mingchuan’s eyes.
There is more than one way to be gentle.
In front of Jiang Yichen, Lin Chu would feel a sense of fear, even though he always carried himself with the gentlemanly manner of grace. Yet, that faint indifference seed to emanate from his very bones.
Yet Lu Mingchuan...
Lin Chu could not see through his true nature.
Whenever a third person was present, his every move reflected the decorum of a wealthy family scion, but if it was just the two of them, beneath that gentle aura lay a lurking, sinister danger.
The first ti Lin Chu saw Lu Mingchuan was in the old Lu Family residence, and she had already searched her brain for mories about him.
Not a single one.
Before that, they genuinely hadn’t t.
So Lin Chu didn’t understand where the complex look in this man’s eyes as he lingered behind her every ti she turned around ca from.
She curved her lips into a smile, her voice light and teasing, "If we t too early, my brother would find annoying."
The sycamore leaves had long fallen, and as the cool wind blew, the dry yellow leaves on the grass were lifted, rustling.
Lu Mingchuan, smiling, gazed at the girl’s vibrant face, slowly stating, "I grew up mostly abroad. Occasionally when I returned to An City, my friends would always ntion a particularly beautiful girl from the Lin Family; her smile was said to be more beautiful than the stars, so I knew about you back then."
However, when they ntioned Miss Lin, they would always bring up a man’s na: Lu Huai’an.
The young gentlen said that the Lin Family’s daughter was like a fla, more dazzling than the sun, especially in front of Lu Huai’an, her smile could lt glaciers.
"So, may I ask, what do you like about Huai’an?"
This question was simple for Lin Chu, yet if she were to provide a concrete answer, it seed difficult.
Delicate eyebrows spread out with a gentle smile, each subtle movent was picturesque.
Behind her was the lit-up greenhouse, facing a desolate night sky. There were stars, but not many, and not very bright.
Slightly tilting her head, she seed to be pondering.
After about half a minute, she laughed and answered, "I don’t know, I just like him."
Yes, she truly liked him.
"He is so dazzling that it makes feel inferior; it makes want to be better so I can stand next to him; it makes petty, disliking every other woman around him; wanting to marry him, to be with him for a lifeti."
Lin Chu loved Lu Huai’an and never hid it.
Lu Mingchuan lowered his eyes, smiled, and slowly rubbed the cigarette between his fingers, "For the first ti, I agree with my mom’s view."
Seeing Lin Chu’s puzzled expression, he smiled and explained, "Huai’an is very lucky."
Noticing the man erging from the back door, Lu Mingchuan stepped back half a pace, creating distance between himself and Lin Chu.
His movents were unobtrusive; Lin Chu instinctively turned around because she heard the ’rustle’ of shoes stepping on fallen leaves.
The man’s tall figure stood beside a shrub, the faint light fell on him, half his face was bathed in warm yellow light, the other half was hidden in shadow.
The whole contour was even more profound, the aura was consistently indifferent and distant.
In that mont, Lin Chu’s delicate brows and eyes shone with radiant charm.
She darted to the man’s side, her cold hand slipped into his palm, she asked with a cheerful smile, "Have you finished chatting with Grandpa?"
Lu Huai’an’s hand was warm, and he could clearly feel the girl’s hand was cold like ice, his brows furrowed, "Didn’t I tell you to wait in the living room?"
The weather was so cold, coming out to feel the wind without even wearing a coat, it seed she needed so discipline.
The man’s deep voice carried a hint of displeasure, Lin Chu cleverly leaned into his embrace, pouted and acted pitifully, "I felt kinda stuffy, so I ca out for so air. Do you know how long you stayed in the study? Everyone else went ho, only I was still waiting for you, isn’t it..."
"Shut up."
Lin Chu’s impromptu tangent was abruptly cut off by Lu Huai’an’s cool words.
Though initially unwilling, upon eting his displeased gaze, she obediently kept quiet.
