“Mm…” Lin Chen answered. Seeing the dissatisfaction visible on the young lady’s face, he waited for her to continue.
Did Brother Lin Chen not understand such an obvious hint?
Lu Yunfan bit her lip, feeling aggrieved. “We have to walk side by side like this. If I didn’t know the truth, I’d think we’re just friends. How can we look like a couple if we don’t act like one?”
Lin Chen nodded and grabbed the young lady’s hand that was resting on his arm, saying, “I have no experience, so you’ll have to tell me what you want me to do… As long as it’s not overboard, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
Lu Yunfan lowered her head and looked at their two hands holding each other. Lin Chen’s large hand was exerting a little force, so she felt like she was passively led forward by him.
Lu Yunfan’s heart pounded…
The yellow and warm orange lights by the roadside illuminated the beach and the sea with warm colors. Lu Yunfan had never felt so blissful before.
Her petite hand was wrapped in Lin Chen’s large hand, giving her a warm and strong feeling of security.
Lu Yunfan was so happy that she wanted to cry. She couldn’t resist pressing her head against Lin Chen’s arm, her other hand wrapping around his arm tightly. “Brother Lin Chen… I feel so blissful just like this!”
“Are you happy now?” Lin Chen gently rubbed the small hand in his palm.
“That’s right! I’m not greedy!” Lu Yunfan looked up at Lin Chen. The sea breeze blew the young lady’s long hair away, and tears welled up in her smiling eyes. “I just want… to hold Brother Lin Chen’s hand like this for the rest of my life! Then, that would be bliss…”
Hearing the young lady sing the last line of “Only Mama is Good in the World”, Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat. It was… a throbbing sensation.
The young lady stood under the streetlights, her eyes shining like stars.
Lin Chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed, but he didn’t make any promise to the young lady that they would walk like this for the rest of their lives. He only gripped the young lady’s hand tightly and said, “Let’s go…”
Lu Yunfan happily followed him by his side, chattering as she faced the sea breeze. “I really hope this path is a little longer, so I can spend more time with you! Brother Lin Chen, you’re always so busy… You rarely have the time to walk by the beach like this, right? Isn’t it relaxing to just walk like this? No work… no meeting, only the sea breeze! And your sweet and lovely girlfriend!”
Lu Yunfan poked her chubby little face as she spoke, acting cute towards Lin Chen…
Lin Chen was amused by her. “Sweet and adorable? What kind of misunderstanding do you have about this term?”
Lu Yunfan was speechless.
He would really get beaten up if he kept speaking like that!
“Although I’m not sweet, I’m very cute! At least I didn’t bother you when you were working… Look, Don’t I always come over to have lunch with you and patiently wait for you to come and pick me up at night? Am I right? Even if I keep checking on my watch in the office because I keep thinking of you and want to see you again, I would hold back my longing and restrain myself from calling you. Am I not very sensible?”
Lu Yunfan seized the opportunity to confess to Lin Chen, her sweet mouth making one’s heart beat faster.
“Mm, very sensible…” Lin Chen agreed with Lu Yunfan.
“Then… Brother Lin Chen, is there any reward for me for being so sensible?” Lu Yunfan boldly stood in front of Lin Chen, looking up at him with anticipation in her eyes.
“What reward do you want?” Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Before Lu Yunfan could say anything, her ears turned red. She was a little embarrassed to look at Lin Chen, so she said in a soft voice, “It’s just a kiss. What other rewards would I ask from you…”
Lu Yunfan wasn’t greedy. Lin Chen could kiss her forehead and cheeks, but she didn’t have the guts to ask for a kiss on the lips from Lin Chen. She lowered her head and said guiltily…
Lin Chen chuckled and pretended to adjust his sleeves. He looked around and realized that there was no one around. He pinched Lu Yunfan’s chin and forced Lu Yunfan to look up.
Lu Yunfan’s heart was thumping wildly. “Brother Lin Chen…”
Was Brother Lin Chen… really going to kiss her?
Lu Yunfan held her breath, feeling suffocated.
Under Lu Yunfan’s expectant gaze, Lin Chen’s kiss landed between Lu Yunfan’s brows.
Lin Chen’s slightly cold lips made Lu Yunfan’s face burn up. Lu Yunfan was a little disappointed because Lin Chen didn’t kiss her lips. But at least Lin Chen took the initiative to kiss her!
Lu Yunfan looked up at Lin Chen and called out softly, “Brother Lin Chen…”
“Let’s go! I’ll send you home…” Lin Chen gripped Lu Yunfan’s hand tightly.
“Okay!” Lu Yunfan lowered her head, thinking that since she couldn’t see Lin Chen, Lin Chen couldn’t see her flushed face either.
Lin Chen looked at the usually fearless young lady, who was cowering beside him like a quail. He couldn’t help but feel amused.
After sending Lu Yunfan back to her home, Lu Yunfan didn’t have the guts to give Lin Chen a little peck like last time before getting out of the car. She hid her face in the collar of her high-collared sweater and told Lin Chen to be careful on the way home. She then got out of the car and didn’t even look back.
Seeing the young lady enter the house safely, Lin Chen drove home.
Along the way, it suddenly rained, but it didn’t affect Lin Chen’s good mood.
…
The Lin family.
Liang Mulan was sitting in the living room, reading a magazine while waiting for Lin Chen. She heard the sound of rain outside and smiled…
The more downpour there was, the better. If it got heavier, Lin Chen wouldn’t be able to come home. Based on how much Lu Yunfan cared for Lin Chen, she definitely wouldn’t be at ease to let Lin Chen drive back by himself. If Lin Chen and Lu Yunfan stayed together for a night, Liang Mulan knew they wouldn’t end their relationship in a month!
Liang Mulan knew her son’s character. Even if Lin Chen stayed overnight, he wouldn’t do anything to Lu Yunfan, so she didn’t expect anything to happen to them.
However, Liang Mulan would like to use this situation to their advantage. As long as Lin Chen stayed overnight, she could use it as an excuse and let Lin Chen be responsible for the young lady!
At the thought of this, Liang Mulan happily closed the magazine in her hands and quietly got up to take a shower.
Unexpectedly, when Liang Mulan went downstairs to warm up the milk, she saw that Lin Chen had returned…
Liang Mulan paused. “Why are you back?”
Lin Chen looked at Liang Mulan, feeling a little puzzled. “I didn’t call home to say I wouldn’t be coming back home today, did I? Why would you think I wasn’t coming back?”
Liang Mulan was speechless.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Chen changed his shoes and loosened his suit tie. He removed his suit jacket and placed it under his arm, frowning as he looked at Liang Mulan. “Usually, you’re complaining that I’m always working overtime and that I’m never home on time. Why do you look upset that I’m home today?”
Because Liang Mulan really despised it…
Two children. One didn’t know how to keep them, and the other didn’t know how to stay! How worrisome!
