The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 289 Little did she know that she had been silently bearing a great sense of guilt...

After going downstairs, Lin Jiaran did not enter the restaurant again. She sat in the living room and chatted with Zhang Yuqin, and gave Zhang Yuqin some gifts she bought during the trip.

It was unknown how much the two drank in the restaurant, but they stayed there for quite a long time. Lin Jiaran had finished a small bag of melon seeds before the two came out of the restaurant. Unlike what she had imagined, Lu Jingshen was not drunk to the point of being unconscious. On the contrary, Lin Yehua was supported by Lu Jingshen as he walked out. Zhang Yuqin immediately stepped forward to lend a hand.

"You shouldn't be drunk. Why didn't you fall down..." Lin Jiaran looked at Lu Jingshen in shock. Logically speaking, her father couldn't fall down after drinking.

"I didn't drink much, let's go home." Lu Jingshen suppressed his smile, walked up, took the little hand and walked out.

"I can see it, otherwise you wouldn't have been drunk. My dad is a big drinker of white wine. He can usually drink three cups by himself."

The man had a constant smile on his face, and it was not difficult to tell that he was very happy.

"I can drink quite a bit."

"What's the point of competing in alcohol tolerance? It's not a good thing. Drinking too much can harm your health."

"I'll go drive." Lin Jiaran lowered her head and motioned for him to let go of her hand.

When they reached the car, Lu Jingshen did not let go of his hand immediately. Lin Jiaran pulled her small hand away, but her big hand held it tighter.

"Are you concerned about me?" Lu Jingshen asked, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him, as if trying to capture her sincere answer.

"What's the problem? I'm not a rock. If I don't care about you, who should I care about?"

The man laughed especially happily and lowered his head as he moved closer.

"You smell too much of alcohol. I want to drive. The drunk driving checks are stricter at night. It's better to keep your distance to avoid trouble!" Lin Jiaran quickly blocked Lu Jingshen's face with her hand.

The man looked slightly disappointed, but stood up straight again.

"I've really read similar news." Seeing Lu Jingshen's expression, Lin Jiaran looked up at him and said something seriously, explaining.

"I will just believe for now that Mrs. Lu doesn't want to cause trouble and isn't disgusted with me."

Sitting in the passenger seat, I thought that the road back to Jingyuan was not very smooth and it would take about an hour or two to drive back, so I would get home too late.

"It's a bit late today, and the journey back to Jingyuan is a bit far, so let's stay in Yake for one night."

Lin Jiaran nodded and fastened her seat belt.

"No, I'll call someone."

Lin Jiaran slowly turned her head and glanced at Lu Jingshen. Neither of them spoke. Lu Jingshen consciously held the armrest above his head, and Lin Jiaran stared at him. At this moment, the scene was somewhat silent but more powerful than words.

Lin Jiaran slowly turned her head and looked forward, intending to conquer the person who was speaking with her strength. Without even looking at him, she pulled the handbrake, shifted the gears, and the car started slowly.

It seems that Mrs. Lu's driving skills have improved. She can start the car smoothly without any violent push on the back, and there is no three-nod head movement when starting. Even the speed of turning the steering wheel is so smooth and handsome.

Lu Jingshen loosened his hands that were holding the handrail.

"Do you need me to show you a drift?" Lin Jiaran glanced at Lu Jingshen's changes in movements and said lightly while looking ahead.

"It was my fault just now. Safety is the most important thing, safety is the most important thing..."

No one has been to Yakeju since the wedding. Lu Jingchuan has been living in Yakeju. Hearing the sound of a car next door, Lu Jingchuan stood on the upstairs of his small villa and looked out. He saw Lin Jiaran getting out of the driver's seat, and Lu Jingshen got out from the passenger seat and walked towards Lin Jiaran's seat. The two walked into the house hand in hand.

Lu Jingchuan, who had originally walked a few steps and was about to go downstairs, turned back into the house.

The phone in Lu Jingshen's pocket rang several times in a row after he hung up.

"Or, you should answer the phone first."

The phone rang several times in a row, maybe there was something important, so Lu Jingshen let the person go and Lin Jiaran went upstairs first.

He took a look at the incoming calls displayed and found that they were all from the same person, Lu Jingchuan. With an unhappy look on his face, Lu Jingshen rejected the calls without hesitation and turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket.

When Lu Jingchuan called again, the other party's phone was turned off, so he found Lin Jiaran's phone number in the address book, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed the number.

Apparently, the mechanical sound coming from the phone made his hesitation seem unnecessary. Lin Jiaran blocked him and tried to contact him via WeChat and phone. As expected, he was also blocked...

Lu Jingchuan watched as the lights on the first floor next door turned off and the lights on the second floor turned on.

I remember that there was no bed in this bedroom originally, but I don’t know when a big bed was put there.

Lin Jiaran went back to the bedroom first. She had washed up and changed into a light pajamas. Lu Jingshen, who had also washed in other rooms, walked into the bedroom quietly. Lin Jiaran was calling Zhang Yuqin to report safety. The two hung up the phone after a few words.

Lin Jiaran had just hung up the phone when Lu Jingshen hugged her from behind, smelling her faint fragrance and giving her a light kiss.

The tip of my nose is sniffing around my neck, and it makes my neck itchy...

"Are you a dog?" The little hand pushed the man's head away as he sniffed over.

"I like it, how can it smell so good..." The man with a smiling face gently took away the little hand that was pushing her, held it in his own palm, and walked together on the balcony of the bedroom.

"Let's go look at the stars."

With his chin resting on her shoulders and holding his beloved in his arms, he felt very happy and blessed at the moment. Even though the sky was very dark, there were so many stars that the sky was bright and beautiful, just like the person he was holding in front of him, shining on him.

Lin Jiaran looked at the sky quietly, with something on her mind, not knowing how to start.

"Do you want to know what we talked about tonight?" Lu Jingshen's voice broke the peaceful silence.

"How would I know if I don't have a sharp hearing?"

"Your father told me not to tell you about Sun Wenxiu's matter. He said he was afraid that you would not be able to accept what happened in the past."

Lin Jiaran didn't say anything and turned around to look at Lu Jingshen.

Lu Jingshen turned the person around and hugged him with his back to him.

"I know everything. I know it's not that you can't face it. There is a reason why you don't tell me who hurt you. If it's not your fault, you don't have to take responsibility for others, okay?" He spoke in a soft voice.

"You know everything."

"Sun Wenxiu's husband died in a normal accident. It had nothing to do with Shen Boren. It was Sun Wenxiu who concealed her marriage status and coveted money."

"Impossible..." Lin Jiaran shook her head and said, finding it hard to believe what Lu Jingshen said.

"Sun Wenxiu had been eyeing Shen Boren for a long time. She discovered you by accident. At that time, you had just lost your mother. She deliberately contacted you, learned about your personality, took advantage of you, and fabricated false facts to deceive you."

"As for the child, it was also an accident. It wasn't your fault. If you hadn't fallen that time, Sun Wenxiu wouldn't have been able to give birth to the child safely..."

Lin Jiaran tried hard to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

"Sun Wenxiu said that everything that happened to me was caused by my father. You don't need to make up these stories to lie to me. I can already accept the facts, but if you say that, I will feel that my existence is redundant because my father personally agreed to let me go to that school."

"According to what Sun Wenxiu said, your father probably didn't know what happened at that time."

"If this is the case, then my father didn't kill anyone..."

"Sun Wenxiu is expected to be sentenced to death at the very least. If she doesn't want to die, she should confess and get a chance for leniency. What she says now cannot be false."

The suppressed emotions collapsed instantly, and she could no longer hold back her tears. The real reason for everything she had suffered was that she had been hiding the fact that her father was a murderer. Murder was against the law and required payment by life. She had known this since she was a child. No matter what, that was her father. She thought of using herself to atone for her father's sins, and her grievances were nothing.

Lu Jingshen did not say anything to comfort her, but just quietly hugged the person who was crying. At this moment, he was too heartbroken to say any words of comfort. Everyone thought that she could not face it, but they did not know that she had been silently bearing a great sense of guilt.
