The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 740 Heart-to-Heart Talk (Lu Jingchuan & Yan Liluo)

Yan Liluo was forced to get into the car, and Lu Jingchuan drove all the way to the seaside, which was far from the city.

The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and along the wide shore, apart from a few passing cars, there were only the cars that were coming, and the two of them.

It was almost sunset when Lu Jingchuan got out of the car and casually took the car keys. He then took some wine from the trunk and started drinking it by himself.

"You sent me here to watch you drink?"

Lu Jingchuan did not answer the question. Instead, he put down the wine bottle in his hand and threw the key he was holding far away.

"How to go back?"

"I've been drinking and can't drive."

Yan Liluo looked utterly speechless. She had assumed the woman was going to the meeting room to discuss business, so she had left her phone in the office. Now she didn't have her phone, and she had also lost her car keys. How was she supposed to get back?

Lu Jingchuan walked to the side of the railing with his back to it, leaning back casually with both hands, holding a wine bottle in his right hand.

"Stop looking at me with those resentful eyes. If you hadn't been lying to me for so long, I wouldn't have come up with this idea today."

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"Let's have a heart-to-heart talk," he said after taking a small sip of his drink, a handsome smile curving his lips.

Although the two brothers are twins born to the same mother, they are quite different in personality and appearance.

Lu Jingshen often had a somber expression and rarely smiled, while Lu Jingchuan always had a smiling face and a cheerful demeanor.

Yan Liluo wasn't in the mood for a heart-to-heart talk; she just wanted to leave immediately. A car passed by, and she waved it down, but it didn't stop.

Several minutes had passed, and no more vehicles were passing by.

Perhaps resigned to her fate, Yan Lilu walked to the fence, picked up a bottle of wine, opened it, and took a sip.

As the sky gradually darkened, the streetlights along the roadside came on, casting long shadows beneath them.

"Why didn't you get together with that guy surnamed Huo?" Lu Jingchuan turned to look at Yan Liluo and asked, breaking the long-lost silence with his words.

"And why aren't you with Lin Jia Ran?" Yan Liluo also turned to look at Lu Jingchuan and asked.

"Why should I be with her? She's my sister-in-law." Lu Jingchuan's gaze remained fixed.

"Why should I be with Huo Xiangtian? He's my friend."

"I heard you've known each other for a long time."

"You've known each other since you were little."

Lu Jingchuan turned to the side, facing the sea, and placed his arms on the railing.

"I don't like people who are too young."

Is age a problem?

"That's the problem. I don't have the patience to coax people."

"You two brothers are at odds over this?"

Lu Jingchuan immediately stood up straight. "Who said we brothers are at odds? Don't spread rumors."

"You've changed so quickly. If I remember correctly, you weren't like this before."

"There was some misunderstanding before, but it will be fine once the misunderstanding is cleared up."

"You really have no feelings for your sister-in-law anymore?"

"I never had that feeling. I was just young and impetuous and thought it was just liking someone. I couldn't even feel basic desires, so it wasn't liking at all."

Lu Jingchuan turned his gaze to Yan Liluo again, "That guy surnamed Huo even came to me for your sake, why didn't you take a liking to him?"

"I don't think I need to tell you why this is happening."

“I’ve told you the truth, you have to follow the rules.”

“He’s too outstanding.” Yan Liluo answered after a few seconds of silence.

"What's wrong with being too outstanding?"

"You can think whatever you want."

“Okay, next question, what are your requirements for a partner?” Lu Jingchuan asked.

Yan Lilu looked puzzled. Why did their heart-to-heart talk turn into a discussion about criteria for choosing a partner?

“I used to like a girl. Your long hair looks a lot like hers. The time I spent with her was the happiest time of my life.”

"Because of her, I truly felt the warmth of home for the first time."

"Later, she disappeared. I still don't know where she went or where she is. Over the years, you are the first person I have met who feels similar to her. It just so happens that you also have a happy family."

"Since you don't plan to be with that guy surnamed Huo, what's wrong with marrying me? You can even make demands."

"You should find someone else to marry. I'm not suitable."

"I do have the ability to do the job, I just don't want to show it."

Wasn't what I said clear enough?

"Isn't my attitude clear enough? I'm serious. At first, I saw you as a shadow, but now that I've decided to marry you, I'll definitely take responsibility to the end."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in marriage, and more importantly, I'm not interested in you either."

"Then why did you remind me so many times before? Don't tell me who you were on orders to. At that time, my brother wanted me dead. He would never let you go."

Yan Lilu remained silent.

Lu Jingchuan's gaze was fixed on Yan Liluo's profile. "We lived under the same roof, so there's nothing wrong with admitting your inner thoughts. I also admit that I was indeed interested in you later, but because you're a man, I didn't want to admit that my orientation was abnormal at the time."

He didn't really understand why he had a different feeling for the person in front of him, but he always believed in feelings.

“I once did something I regret. I didn’t have time to explain some things to her before she left. Yan Liluo, I have clearly told you my thoughts. Do you want to reconsider?”

Yan Liluo slowly shifted her gaze to Lu Jingchuan, "Is there something you haven't explained to her clearly?"

“I gave her a gift, but she thought it was too expensive and didn’t want it. I lied and said it was money I earned from working. I was afraid that because of the difference between our families, I never explained my background to her.”

"Is it Li Mu?" Yan Liluo continued to ask.

"is her."

Yan Liluo looked up at the sea and took a deep breath.

"You must know a lot about Li Mu, otherwise my brother wouldn't have arranged for you to impersonate her."

"Aren't you asking me to marry you? It's not appropriate for you to keep bringing her up in front of me."

“Because of her departure, I’ve always felt that it was my brother’s fault. Because of this, we’ve been at odds for many years. I’ve also suspected that it was my grandfather’s fault. I just want to know if her departure has anything to do with them.”

"It has nothing to do with them."

Lu Jingchuan turned his head abruptly, "What do you know?"

"How could you possibly think it's related to your brother?" Yan Liluo countered.

"Because he said it himself, he went to find her."

"No, he hasn't contacted her."

"Really do not have."

"To convince you that I am Li Mu, Lu Jingshen told me all of these things. He said he deliberately lied to you so that he could get ten million."

Lu Jingchuan didn't find anything unreasonable in Yan Liluo's words, and he was convinced that Lu Jingshen was deliberately lying to him for money.

“Your grandfather did contact her and gave her the opportunity to study in London. Later, her family underwent a sudden change, and her parents died in a car accident.”

"What about Li Mu? He was also in a car accident?"

"Mmm." Yan Liluo responded softly, her eyes secretly glancing at Lu Jingchuan. Perhaps if she said this, Lu Jingchuan wouldn't realize that she was Li Mu. That would be fine too; let the story remain as it was, since they wouldn't have a future anyway.

Neither of them spoke again until a flash of lightning broke the silence.

"It's thundering, it's going to rain, and you've lost your keys. How are you going to get home now?"

The sudden change in weather was beyond his control, so Lu Jingchuan took out his phone from his pocket.

Boom! Boom!

Ah!

Yan Liluo covered her ears in fright and screamed. Lu Jingchuan was also startled, so much so that he lost his grip on his phone and it fell into the sea.

"No, what's your name? You startled me!"

"I'm afraid of being struck by lightning, can't I scream in fear?"

"You scared me so much that I dropped my phone and it fell into the sea."

After the thunder came large raindrops. The car door was unlocked, and the two people took shelter inside.

"Where's your phone? Don't worry about it now. Use your phone to call someone to drive over."

"I didn't bring my phone; it's in the office."

"Don't joke around now, or we'll have to sit here all night."

"If I had a cell phone, I would have left long ago."

"Then we'll just have to sit here all night and wait for Zuo Meng to drive tomorrow morning."

Outside, it was windy, rainy, and thundering, but Yan Liluo sat quietly.

The person who was talking just now is now very quiet; that shout just now didn't seem fake.

Lu Jingchuan then turned to look at Yan Liluo sitting in the back seat, "Are you really scared?"

Yan Liluo did not answer, turning her gaze to the window and closing her eyes.
