Before Fu Chenxi could say anything, Lu Beichen already prepared not to give her a chance.“Alright, Chenxi. You know that I’m very busy. I don’t have all the time in the world. Since you’re so idle, you can find something to do. I’m leaving first.”

“Hey, Beichen… Beichen?”

Lu Beichen left and did not look back.

Fu Chenxi felt dismal.

Unexpectedly, just then…

From behind, a car door opened.

This luxury car had been there all along, but nobody noticed.

There were too many luxury cars around. In the darkness of the night, it was not in clear sight.

Now that Lu Beichen had disappeared through the door, the person in the car got off.

Fu Chenxi saw that it was Gu Jingyan right away.

Was she there all along? Watching?

“Hey, Chenxi.” Gu Jingyan joined her slender palms together. “How was it? Do you now know the taste of being neglected and hated?”

Fu Chenxi’s face changed. “You… you did it on purpose!”

Gu Jingyan smiled. “So what if I did? Why, are you going to tell Lu Beichen? Sure, go ahead. I’d like to see who he’ll believe in the end.”

Fu Chenxi thought about the attitude Lu Beichen had towards her, and her face showed more unhappiness.

Gu Jingyan did not seem to mind. “Wh? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Feeling sad? Are you disheartened that the man you love disregarded you?”

After getting closer to her, Gu Jingyan’s voice got even colder.

“It’s alright. You’ll be sadder later.”

She brushed past Fu Chenxi and told her straightaway, “Whatever Lu Beichen gave you, I’ll make him take it back one by one. You shall have a taste of things slipping away, one by one, from you. Alright, I won’t interrupt you being sad any longer. It’s the worst feeling to be alone when you’re sad. Take your time to shed your tears. I’m leaving.”

Leaving just like that?

Fu Chenxi felt despair through and through after what Gu Jingyan had said to her.

She sat on the ground with a heavy heart. It was as though it was hollow, and she had not an ounce of strength left.

Gu Jingyan thought this was it.

She was not one who enjoyed getting involved. However, she had been forced to this point, and she would not let others bully her.

Meanwhile, inside.

Lu Beichen was still having a tough time with these matters.

He did not want to stay at home since Gu Jingyan was no longer around. The place seemed like it had turned extremely empty.

After he had pondered, he thought he might as well head over to Lin Che’s to look for her.

Lin Che was eating at home.

Having a break and having nothing to do was a rare chance. Hence, she looked up baking at home.

The school teacher had mentioned that a parent baked some items and got the child to share them with his friends at school. Gu Shiyuan then expressed that she wanted her to do the same.

Lin Che was coerced at that moment.

However, she could not bear to see Gu Shiyuan disappointed. Hence, she could only start researching at home.

In a short while, Lu Beichen entered.

“Move aside. Why are you all blocking my way? I’m here to look for Lin Che.”

Lin Che came out without removing her gloves as soon as she heard the voice.

“Lu Beichen?” Why did he come here?

Lu Beichen came over for a reason. The good thing was that Lin Che had a good impression of him, so she would not be like Black Eagle and chase him off right away.

He headed to the sofa and lay on it. “Lin Che, let me tell you. If you don’t listen to me about this matter, I will not leave your home.”

Lin Che looked at him curiously. “What do you want?”

Lu Beichen looked at her. “You know that your birth father is my father. But you don’t want to acknowledge him. He’s very upset about it.”

Lin Che was speechless. She looked at Lu Beichen. “What are you doing…” She walked over. “Why are you bringing this up out of nowhere?”

Lu Beichen looked like a rogue. “In any case, I don’t care. He’s your father, and you have to acknowledge him. People must respect the truth, and the truth is that he is your father.”

Lin Che thought that something was amiss with Lu Beichen. He would not suddenly talk about this for no reason.

“It’s no use if you want to go rogue. This is not about a player’s home, there won’t be acknowledgment just like that.”

“Sigh. You…”

Just then, Gu Jingze returned.

“Lin Che, is Lu Beichen here?”

Lu Beichen looked up. “Gu Jingze, you’re back just in time. Tell me, you have a father-in-law, and you don’t even acknowledge him. Lin Che’s still young, so, understandably, she doesn’t understand things. But you’re already grown up, and yet you don’t understand things?”

“…”

Gu Jingze had not expected to encounter a matter like this the moment he got home.

Lin Che shrugged, not knowing what was going on.

Gu Jingze thought for a while and told Lu Beichen, “Come, I have something to discuss with you.”

The two of them went outside.

Gu Jingle said, “What’s wrong with you?”

Lu Beichen said, “What can be wrong with me? I just want Lin Che to acknowledge her family. Tell me, you’re already a grown-up. Everyone has already looked past the misunderstanding. Why must it be like this…”

Gu Jingze patted his shoulder. “You have to know one thing. She has always been feeling bad about it in her heart. Moreover, this is a big matter and not a trivial one. Give her some time.”

Lu Beichen looked outside.

He wanted to give them time.

But who would give Lu Qinyu time?

Lu Beichen did not say anymore. He looked at Gu Jingze and said solemnly, “Lin Che is still young, and she has many days ahead of her. She has a lot of time. But… My father, he’s already old.”

Gu Jingze’s eyes moved and looked at Lu Beichen.

Lu Beichen did not say anymore.

When Gu Jingze returned, he saw Lin Che sitting in a daze.

“Lin Che.”

Lin Che looked up. Gu Jingze was already slowly making his way over. She found a spot on his body to cozy up. “Tell me, am I very cold?”

“How can it be?”

“But I feel like I don’t want to go over and acknowledge him as my father that quickly. It’s weird.”

“I understand…”

“Moreover, he’s a stranger to me. I can’t just be acting all familiar with him.”

“We can find a chance to do something next time. You’ve been apart and away from each other for so long. So, how can you be familiar at all?”

“Okay…”

Lin Che wanted to say something, but her phone rang.

It was Mu Feiran.

“Lin Che!”

“What happened?” Lin Che reckoned something had happened upon hearing Mu Feiran’s scream.

But Mu Feiran said, “Come and manage your brother. Your brother!”

Fine.

Another brother causing trouble.

“What is it now?”

“He insists on marrying me.”

“…”

That should have been normal…

Was this even an issue that he wanted to marry her?

Mu Feiran felt like she did not know how to explain it.

But she understood that Black Eagle was Yunyun’s father. She had a relationship with him in the past.

She had not digested the fact for long when Black Eagle suddenly said to get married.

Mu Feiran went crazy.

At that moment, Black Eagle was still locked outside, and he was knocking on the door.

“Feiran, open the door and listen to me.”

“No way, marriage? No way!”

“Alright, alright, no way means no way.”

As she heard that, Mu Feiran wondered. This fellow was so easy to talk to today?
