But obviously, the words coming from Qi Ming’s mouth won’t carry such emotions.
Lu Huai’an adjusted Qi Ming’s hat and then tidied up the collar of his clothes.
"It’s normal for boys to fight. It’s not your fault, and you’re not the one mocking others. We can afford the dical expenses, so I won’t criticize you."
Honestly, this isn’t the correct way to educate a child.
Lin Chu never expected Qi Ming to be obedient and well-behaved; as long as he doesn’t harm others, he can do whatever he wants.
So what Lu Huai’an said didn’t seem too strange to Lin Chu.
If no one offends , I won’t offend them. Not every child is an angel.
The breeding of demons is due to indulgence and retreat.
"Mom?"
The dazed Lin Chu was awakened by Qi Ming’s voice. She smiled and said, "Don’t let others bully you. Dad is right."
This was the first ti Lin Chu openly acknowledged Lu Huai’an and his father-son relationship in front of her son.
Not because she was tricked by an illusion, forgetting those hurts and past, but simply for her son.
Blood relationships cannot be denied.
Lin Chu knew well that from the mont Lu Huai’an learned of Qi Ming’s existence, it ant she could never have a chance to take Qi Ming away.
No court, no lawyer would dare offend the Lu Family for a fallen daughter like her.
She wouldn’t stay by Lu Huai’an’s side. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, soday he would grow tired.
The grievances shouldn’t involve the children. Qi Ming can’t be allowed to continually resist his biological father.
Qi Ming glanced at Lu Huai’an again, the distance in his eyes diminished slightly, but he still didn’t call him.
"They didn’t bully , I just don’t want to talk to them."
As soone passed by, Lu Huai’an slightly tightened his grip on Lin Chu’s hand, pulling her closer.
This was the most natural instinctive reaction.
He said to Qi Ming, "Then ignore them. That kid might have a firm stance but doesn’t take well to blows. You can knock him down at Friday’s sports et."
Lin Chu, "..."
What’s he getting at?
...
Those clueless kids may not recognize Lu Huai’an, but the teachers do.
Politely greeting, "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu."
Lu Huai’an simply asked, "Is it still possible to register for the sports et?"
"Uh..., the deadline has passed."
"I’ve been busy recently, Qi Ming thought Lin Chu and I don’t have ti, so he didn’t ntion it. I just heard from other classmates now. Can we add one more spot?"
The teacher assessed the situation and quickly decided.
"It can be done. It’s just a school activity; there aren’t that many strict rules."
Lu Huai’an nodded, "Thank you."
————
When Qi Ming was not present, Lin Chu hardly spoke at all.
Lu Huai’an was naturally a man of few words, so the car was very quiet.
Before, as long as Lin Chu was around, he never had a mont of peace; she always had endless words, chirping away to the point of giving him a headache.
But now, even when she spends the whole day with him, there’s only empty silence.
So things, when owned, seem ordinary and unworthy of attention.
Once lost, they start to be missed.
The simpler the mories, the stronger the wine brewed by ti.
It can seep from the flesh, corroding every corner of the body, tearing at his heart and lungs.
...
Lin Chu returned to An City for a year, actually not many people knew she was back.
So when Lu Huai’an pulled her by the wrist from the car into Lu Family’s office building, the employees who witnessed it were all dumbfounded.
Despite the surprise, none dared to openly discuss, their eyes followed the pair’s movents, silently stirring inside.
Lu Huai’an was oblivious.
The woman’s struggle and resistance weren’t obvious, but the strength with which she secretly pinched his hand was not weak.
The hand originally gripping her wrist changed to holding her waist, a gesture asserting a stronger declaration of possession.
Lin Chu held her temper throughout, only releasing it when the elevator doors were fully closed.
"How many tis do I need to tell you before you understand? Even if you offer the position of the president, I wouldn’t be interested."
In this office building, every inch from the ground to the ceiling is branded with the Lu Family na.
Even the air carries the stench of unfairness and discomfort.
Lu Huai’an remained unfazed, imprisoning the irritated woman in his embrace; his voice had no fluctuation, "It’s just a title. It’s the sa as being at ho; you can do whatever you want. If you’re tired, you can nap in the lounge."
Lin Chu closed her eyes, breathing heavier, clearly suppressing her anger.
"Does doing this amuse you?" Her brows and eyes remained cold, "What if your dad is angered to death, will this be another life to count against ?"
Given Lu Zhengmao’s hatred towards her, if he knew she was in the company and handling sensitive secrets, wouldn’t he be enraged?
They had just entered through the main gate; more than twenty employees had seen them, and it wouldn’t take long for the word to reach Lu Zhengmao’s ears.
His loathing without being able to harm her was satisfying, but seeing it too often can be weariso.
Lu Huai’an’s gaze deepened, his severe brows maintained the initial indifference, "Just stay there, don’t worry about anything else."
...
Previously, when Lin Chu was following Lu Huai’an, learning work experience, her position was his secretary.
After all these years, the office where Lin Chu once stayed remained vacant.
The pens, papers, books she used... are all still there.
Opening the door, one could almost see the frowning man berating her for being slow-minded.
"I really don’t want to stay here; it’s stuffy. Sitting around doing nothing feels idiotic."
Lu Huai’an seed very idle; he’d been dawdling with Lin Chu for half an hour already.
"Then nap in my lounge for a while, I’ll take you out in the afternoon."
Speaking as he bent down, carrying the indifferent Lin Chu on the sofa horizontally into his office.
In the inner lounge, besides himself, only Lin Chu had occupied it.
He placed Lin Chu on the bed, naturally and smoothly removing her jacket and shoes before she could react.
"If you’re hungry or thirsty, call ."
Rather than sit idly, sleeping seed better; Lin Chu didn’t bother arguing further with him.
She turned over, her back to him, speaking lightly, "Close the door."
Lu Huai’an knew Lin Chu hadn’t slept well in the morning, so he didn’t stay in the lounge to disturb her, just watched her a while before returning to work outside.
He was content just knowing she was there.
————
Lun Jun knows Lin Chu is asleep in the lounge, so he knocks softly.
After getting permission, he enters the office.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Shen is outside, says she wants to see you."
Lu Huai’an is still handling docunts, eyes unflinching, speaking lightly, "I’m busy right now."
As the words fall, the door is directly pushed open from outside.
"I won’t take up much of your ti, just a few minutes will do."
Shen Weiyi’s attitude might not be polite, but it’s her usual way: aloof and elegant.
The office’s soundproofing is excellent.
She seems to have anticipated Lu Huai’an wouldn’t see her, so she entered as soon as she could without waiting.
The atmosphere in the office subtly changed.
Lun Jun exited the office without looking sideways and closed the door.
Shen Weiyi’s gaze fell on the man, her lovely face revealing little emotion.
"Uncle Lu’s birthday is coming, he’ll host so old friends from the military at ho, he hopes you’ll return."
Over the years, Lu Huai’an hasn’t lived there, only occasionally stopping by for formal greetings.
Since Lu Zhengmao began repeatedly throwing Lin Chu into detention centers, the father-son relationship had frozen over.
That’s why Shen Weiyi was the one to tell Lu Huai’an about this.
