The voice was hoarse and low, "Wait for a mont."
Lin Chu unnaturally lowered her head, her delicate cheeks turned a slight rosy hue due to the long kiss and shortness of breath. Her originally vibrant and exquisite features regained so of their past vitality.
"Mm, you go ahead quickly."
It was still early, and if there were no delays on the way, she should be able to reach the Lin Family before ten o’clock.
That way, she could spend a bit more ti with her dad.
...
At the intersection.
The driver stood respectfully beside the car. In the black guest car, Lu Huai’an’s stern features were devoid of warmth, and his whole person was hidden in the shadows,
His voice was calm and steady, "Xiao Chu is just feeling unwell, she’s not pregnant."
Words were not enough; the old man wouldn’t believe it. He said authoritatively, "Pregnant or not, we need a doctor’s examination to know. Either ride in the sa car or follow my car."
The tone brooked no dissent.
The temperature inside the car grew colder and colder, with a full minute of silence.
Lu Huai’an’s dark eyes were turbulent like a stormy sea, "Grandpa."
Lin Chu wasn’t pregnant; he was more aware than anyone.
The old man’s sharp brows furrowed, seemingly displeased with his obvious defense, "All I want is an outco, not to do anything — that girl is the daughter of the Lin Family, and also your wife; so things cannot be left ambiguous."
Apart from the five people present at the ti of the incident, no one else would ever know.
But he was clear.
No one intended to back down, and after ten minutes of stalemate, Lu Huai’an pushed open the car door.
...
He got out of the car and ca back, his aura completely different. Lin Chu put her phone back into her bag and asked, "What took so long?"
Before starting the car, Lu Huai’an lit a cigarette. After just one puff, he rembered that it was the dead of winter, and with the window open, she would be cold, so he extinguished the cigarette.
"Xiao Chu, we’re going to the hospital."
Lin Chu was a bit puzzled, "Weren’t we going to the Lin Family? Why the hospital?"
Lu Huai’an’s resolute jaw tightened into a straight line, and his hand gripping the steering wheel had knuckles that faintly turned white, "Grandpa thinks you’re pregnant."
"I’m not."
"I know you’re not, but he doesn’t."
Lin Chu held her forehead, letting out a speechless laugh, "So, Grandpa wants to find out whose child I’m supposedly ’having,’ by making go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Lu Mingchuan was sent off to the most remote branch, forbidden from returning to An City for two years, and all his financial resources were cut off. At the sa ti, he lost the qualification to compete with Lu Huai’an.
Originally, Lin Chu thought that was the final outco.
Never expected there’d still be such an issue.
She seed unconcerned and nodded in agreent, "Alright then, let’s go to the hospital where Grandpa Ji is staying, and while we’re at it, I can visit our Wanwan who’s currently suffering."
It’s just a blood test; it won’t take long.
Lu Huai’an listened to the girl’s slightly nasal voice, yet a faint sense of helpless frustration welled up within his chest.
"I promise you, just this one ti, and there won’t be similar troubles in the future."
Lin Chu nodded casually, "Mm, got it."
The more indifferent and compliant she appeared, the darker the shadows in Lu Huai’an’s eyes beca.
————
A blood test would quickly reveal whether she was pregnant or not.
But Lin Chu was led by the doctor to undergo a series of examinations, seemingly mindful of Chairman Lu’s status, so every detail was handled with extra care.
Lin Chu chanically finished the tests and walked out, bumping into the man’s embrace.
She didn’t look up, her voice carrying a hint of weariness, "You stay with Grandpa and wait for the results; I’m going to the inpatient ward to see Wanwan."
Soone whose physiological period had just ended a few days ago couldn’t possibly be pregnant.
The girl’s hands were sowhat cold, and Lu Huai’an’s rough big hands could completely wrap around them, kissing her forehead, "I’ll take you there."
During the Spring Festival, only the ergency departnt had doctors on duty, and the doctor who examined Lin Chu was called in by a phone call from the dining table.
The nurses on duty rested in the lounge during their downti, making the corridors quiet and deserted.
The shadows of the two embracing were cast on the floor by the bright light, looking very intimate at first glance.
Lin Chu shook her head, "It’s just a few steps, and besides, Wanwan doesn’t really like you. Her situation and mood are both terrible, it’s New Year’s for goodness’ sake, let’s not trouble her any further."
The two people she felt closest to, one was in prison, and the other lay comatose in a hospital bed.
How could she be well?
Lu Huai’an’s grip on her hand did not loosen, though it was unusually gentle, yet still filled with a domineering force.
