Lu Chen's words silenced Lin Huan for a moment.

Refusing to eat dinner was not because of who she was, but it was because she felt that it was no longer appropriate for them to get along like this.

"Your colleagues don't seem to know who you are, so why are you keeping a low profile?" Lu Chen mocked her, but at the same time, he was threatening her.

Lin Huan knew that Lu Chen was angry and blamed her for not keeping her promise and waiting for him to return.

Thus, no matter how much Lu Chen mocked her and beat her down, Lin Huan was able to bear with it.

"Alright, I'll treat you to a meal as a welcoming reception." Finally, Lin Xin stood up and was the first to walk out the door.

Lu Chen's face was ugly to behold. In truth, he did not want to say that it was hard to listen to someone who could hurt Lin Huang, but seeing that she was right in front of him, he could not help but curse.

Yes, he had a grudge in his heart. Lin Ming's memory had once been a dream of his, and he had placed her in a part of his future.

But what about her?

Leaving aside the fact that she married without a word, she hid things from him for so long. Now that they met again, she kept avoiding him, which made Lu Chen extremely unwilling.

As Lin Huang went downstairs, she made up her mind to treat Lu Chen to a meal and have a good talk with him at the dining table.

Although the one who made the mistake was him and he didn't seem to have the face to talk to him, there were some things that couldn't be explained clearly and might not be good for anyone.

Lu Chen retrieved the car and parked it in front of Lin Xin.

Lin Ming hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still opened the door and sat inside.

When the car just drove away from Fangfei International Hall, in the CEO's office upstairs, Dyfer slammed her phone on the table.

"Lin Ru, you shameless little vixen, how did I warn you?" You're not allowed to seduce me, Lu Chen. Are you deaf? Tomorrow, I want you to have a good time. " Daffy angrily scolded, gritting her teeth.

Lu Chen drove the car absentmindedly. Lin Huan sat beside him, most of his attention on his car.

"Lu Chen, stop the car. Let's eat upstairs." Lin Si also saw that he was not concentrating on driving, and said slowly.

"I can't eat. Disgusting." What caused Lu Chen's absent-mindedness was the video of Lin Zimeng on his phone. He had fantasized countless times about marrying Lin, and even rehearsed his wedding night countless times in his mind. Yet, such a pure girl laid down happily under another man.

Lin Huan's body stiffened and her expression became even more unnatural. Her two small hands gripped the seat belt tightly as she moved her mouth, but no words came out.

"Nian Bing, divorce Feng Yu. I will still marry you. I don't mind …" Lu Chen's eyes were bloodshot, laced with pain as he stared at Lin Xin. It seemed as if he had already pondered over these words.

He shook his head, "This marriage cannot be divorced, I cannot make the decision. Lu Chen, the reason why I agreed to eat together with you just now was so that I could explain this matter to you. Forget about me, we will never be able to return to the past."

"Why not?" Lu Chen roared in hatred.

Tears rolled down her pale cheeks. Lin Huan buried her face in her palms, crying sorrowfully, "Lu Chen, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. You hate me, but I can't divorce you."

"Is it because you can't, or because you don't want to, Young Mistress Feng? Have you gotten addicted to it?" Lu Chen was certain that the pain Lin Huan was suffering was an act. As long as she wanted a divorce, she could leave no matter what.

"My grandfather has worked hard to raise me, I can't let down his kindness. Lu Chen, you're right, as the daughter of the Lin Family, sooner or later, she will be taken away for a commercial marriage."

"Your grandfather forced you? You really don't love Feng Yu? " Lu Chen's face was filled with pain and shock.

Lin Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Before we were married, I had never even met Feng Yu, how could I fall in love with him?"

What she said was the truth. Although Lin Zimeng and Feng Yu were dating, she had only seen a few footage of Feng Yu on TV.

Who would have known that the reserved man under the camera would be so hateful and repulsive in reality?

Shocked, Lu Chen slammed the steering wheel in anger: "It's my incompetence that has failed to create better conditions for you."

"No, it's not your fault. Lu Chen, I've always wanted to thank you. Since I was young, you've always been the only one who treats me well." Lin Ming saw his red fist being smashed, and quickly stopped him. His eyes were sincere and profound as he said, "Forget about me. Go find someone you love. From the beginning, you will be happy."

"Recite, you don't understand …" No one can replace you in my heart. I will wait for you! " Suddenly, Lu Chen gripped her hands tightly. His eyes were filled with sorrow, but more so, they were filled with perseverance and determination.

Lin Xin panicked a little and immediately shook his head: "Don't wait for me, I can't wait!"

Yet, Lu Chen was determined. "I've been waiting for you for so long."

In truth, she was only relying on Lu Chen and did not have that kind of love between a man and woman. That was the reason why she felt that she was in such a terrible condition, yet was unable to give him any hope while he was hanging in front of her.

"I will definitely let you down. Even if I get divorced, I won't have the face to be with you. Lu Chen, don't be so stubborn." Lin Huang sighed, ashamed that he did not have the same determination and sincerity as Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's eyes darkened as he let go of her hand, his face turning ashen, "In the end, you've never loved me, right?"

Lin Ming did not dare to meet his eyes that were filled with pain and questions. He bit his lips and did not dare to reply.

"Lu Chen …"

"Don't call me. I am truly foolish. I always thought that we were mutual lovers. In the end, it was merely my one-sided wish. It was simply a joke." Lu Chen was finally aware of reality. He had a bad premonition earlier – he treated Lin Huan as his lover, but whether he was a fool or just pretending to be one, Lu Chen did not know.

She knew what Lu Chen felt for her, and she also knew that her feelings for him were not love. Therefore, in the two years since Lu Chen had left the country, she did not take the initiative to call him, hoping that he would forget about her and find a girl more suitable for him.

"You can get off!" Lu Chen's face suddenly turned cold.

Lin Ming awkwardly opened the car door and stood on the side of the road. He looked at Lu Chen's car and then drove away in a cloud of dust.

Suddenly, rain began to fall from the sky. The dark and heavy sky had finally stopped raining. The bean-sized raindrops fell on the pedestrians.

The place where Lin Ming was standing at was filled with shrubs on both sides. It was so empty that there was not even a place to hide from the rain. She had no choice but to pick up her bag, lift it above her head and run away frantically.
