Chapter 21

When Lu Lingchuan arrived, Shen Nian had already taken a shower and was tidying up things in the living room.

Hearing the sound of the door lock opening at the door, Shen Nian's figure stiffened for a moment as she was organizing the coffee table, but soon resumed normality as she continued busying herself.

Throwing the unnecessary things on the coffee table into the trash can, wiping the coffee table with a towel, immersed in her own world, as if she hadn't heard the sound of the door opening.

After Lu Lingchuan came in, he didn't speak either, just stood at the door watching her, holding something in his hand.

After wiping the coffee table clean, Shen Nian got up and went back into the bedroom again, never looking at Lu Lingchuan.

"Bang!"

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lu Lingchuan's gaze finally retracted back to raise his own hand, looking at the little person he was holding.

If Shen Nian saw it, she would be able to recognize it as the "Little Shen Nian" that Jiang Lingling had pinched for her, but on closer inspection it was not the same one again. Jiang Lingling's was rougher, while the one in Lu Lingchuan's hand was obviously spent more time kneading, and every detail was exquisite, but the hairstyle and clothes were exactly the same as Jiang Lingling's.

Gently twisting it, there was also a word written on the back of the white skirt.

Nian.

His eyes turned around the living room and stopped.

The "Little Ling Rui" that Shen Nian had pinched was not completely dry yet, so she had put it in a place where it could get sunlight.

The man walked over in big strides and put the "Little Shen Nian" next to the "Little Ling Rui".

He gently stroked the faces of "Little Shen Nian" and "Little Ling Rui" with his fingertips, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Withdrawing his gaze, he finally turned and walked into the bedroom.

Twisting open the bedroom door, Shen Nian was still tidying up things. Lu Lingchuan went into the bathroom. As he passed the trash can, he suddenly stopped and looked at the things in the trash can with deep eyes.

Looking up, he stared at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian didn't know Lu Lingchuan was looking at her. She was sorting clothes, folding up clothes that she didn't usually wear and putting them away, picking out all the white dresses and throwing them directly into the trash can.

There were already two tied garbage bags next to them, which were also full of clothes.

Lu Lingchuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he stared at Shen Nian and asked lightly, "Why did you throw them away?"

Shen Nian's voice was also light: "They were clothes from a long time ago, too small to wear, taking up space, so I threw them away."

Is that so?

Lu Lingchuan didn't speak, just stared at the white dress in her hand, which she threw into the trash can without hesitation.

She had only bought this skirt less than three months ago. Was it small too?

"Shen Nian," he called her, then asked, "Are you mad at me?"

Shen Nian sneered, "Mr. Lu thinks too much."

Mad? Did she have the right to get mad?

She wanted to clear up all relations with him so much that she would rather die?!

His hands at his sides clenched into fists, and the veins on the backs of his hands bulged.

At that moment, Lu Lingchuan really wanted to strangle her and then end himself.

End it all!

But...seeing that face, the face he both loved and hated!

"You want to die so much?!" Lu Lingchuan's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian opened her eyes, fearless, glaring back at him with equally red eyes.

He glared at her, she glared at him, both very stubborn, neither willing to admit defeat.

In the end it was Lu Lingchuan who backed down first. He looked deeply into Shen Nian's eyes, wanting to say something. His lips moved but in the end he didn't speak. He turned his head and strode away.

"Bang!"

The bedroom door was slammed shut loudly.

Then it became utterly quiet.

The expression on Shen Nian's face was still so stubborn. She sniffed and didn't say anything, just continued to find all her white clothes and throw them in the trash can.

Tying up the garbage bag, throw it all away tomorrow!

Until all the white clothes were thrown away, the breath that had been supporting her suddenly disappeared. Shen Nian felt her body start to chill, her legs went weak, and she fell inelegantly onto the carpet.

One hand clutching her chest, breathing a little urgent, her face pale.

....................................

Leaving in anger, Lu Lingchuan took the elevator down and left the building.

He was emitting anger and gloom, his pace very large.

"Boom!"

A roar of thunder suddenly stopped him in his tracks. Lu Lingchuan looked up at the dark night.

The night temperature had dropped a lot, and the cool wind blew on his face, a little damp.

It looked like...it was going to rain.

The next second, as if to confirm Lu Lingchuan's guess, there was another "boom", this time accompanied by lightning.

Lightning and thunder.

Immediately after, pea-sized raindrops fell directly down, drenching Lu Lingchuan almost instantly.

Summer was the rainy season, it could be sunny one second and pouring rain the next.
