Chapter 1367: Heart filled with sweetness
Then your brother is really pitiful…
Lin Chen imagined how the young lady was holding her phone, waiting for his reply. After hesitating for a while, Lin Chen finally replied with a message.
Lin Chen: “I won’t be going tomorrow. I’ll get someone to send you a flower basket. I wish you a great opening.”
After that, Lu Yunfan didn’t send another message. Lin Chen didn’t know if it was because the young lady was upset or because she had fallen asleep.
He put down his phone and carefully read the book in his hand. When Lin Chen looked up at his watch again, it was already 10:30 pm.
That night was the first time in so many years Lin Chen had slept well.
The next morning, Lin Chen woke up a bit late. He went to the bathroom to wash up and change his clothes before he checked on his phone…
The screen displayed a few messages from Lu Yunfan.
From her choice of words, which were now more normal than before, he could tell that Lu Yunfan had carefully mulled over the messages before she sent them.
[Lu Yunfan: Brother Lin Chen, I don’t know if the reason you won’t be attending my art gallery’s opening ceremony was that I offended you in your office. Brother Lin Chen, are you really planning to cut our friends.h.i.+p? Are you going to ignore me from now on?]
[Lu Yunfan: Brother Lin Chen, I’m sorry. I thought you liked me at least a little because you didn’t push me away when I kissed! I thought you’d like me, at least a bit more than Miss Gao, who’s a lesbian. I didn’t expect you would hate me to this extent. It was my fault. Even after you rejected me a few times, I still shamelessly clung onto you. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.]
This apology made Lin Chen feel extremely uncomfortable.
[Lu Yunfan: Brother Lin Chen, my gallery is called Lin Jianyun because… I want to be your cloud[1]. Since you hate me so much, I shouldn’t have sent you this message. But… even if my love for you is one-sided, I would still like to invite you to see my gallery when you have a chance in the future. Don’t worry, I won’t be there. I’ll return to Wei City after today.]
Lin Chen stood at the end of the bed, frowning.
[Lu Yunfan: Brother Lin Chen, from today onwards, I won’t pester you anymore. I hope you’ll be happy and that you would find the girl you like and get married. Don’t just see marriage as a business deal or a way to satisfy your family.]
[Lu Yunfan: Goodbye, Brother Lin Chen.]
The messages were several hours apart, from 11 pm to 4:30 am. The young lady must not have slept at all.
Lin Chen’s mood plummeted. He frowned as he slipped his phone into his suit pocket and headed downstairs.
Liang Mulan had just walked into the dining room to have breakfast when she saw Lin Chen come downstairs. She turned around and said, “It’s unusual for you to wake up late. Come and have breakfast!”
“I’m skipping breakfast. I’ll go to the company first…” Lin Chen’s voice was deep.
Even though Lin Chen’s expression was unreadable, as his mother, Liang Mulan could sense his troubled emotions.
Staring at Lin Chen’s back view, she muttered to herself, “Did something happen at the company?”
On the way to the company, Lu Yunfan’s messages filled Lin Chen’s mind.
He could even imagine the young lady typing those messages with tears in her eyes.
He frowned even harder. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the car window, he rubbed his chin, thinking of going to her gallery to take a look.
But in the end, Lin Chen didn’t turn his car around. He drove straight to his company.
Before he could get out of the car, Lin Chen’s phone rang. It was Lu Yunfan.
Lin Chen was a little stunned. He thought Lu Yunfan wouldn’t call him again after sending those messages.
He placed the phone by his ear and picked up the call. “h.e.l.lo…”
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s deep voice, Lu Yunfan, who was on the other end of the line, couldn’t resist shedding tears. Sobbing, she said to Lin Chen with a hint of blame in her tone, “Brother Lin Chen, you really wouldn’t call me back even after you saw my messages?”
Lin Chen listened to the young lady’s soft sobbing, not uttering a sound.
“I even said goodbye, yet you still feel nothing?” Lu Yunfan sulked, still crying. “Normal people would comfort the person sending them those kinds of messages by calling them back and saying ‘I actually don’t hate you.’”
Lin Chen couldn’t resist chuckling softly. Lu Yunfan really couldn’t hold back.
Even if she wanted to play some tricks, how could she have called to come clean and question him right away in the morning after sending those messages last night?
“Brother Lin Chen, you’ll still come to attend my opening ceremony today. I will prepare some breakfast for you, and I’ll only forgive you after you eat it! Are you coming?” Lu Yunfan threw a tantrum over the phone.
“You didn’t sleep last night. You still want to prepare breakfast for me this morning?” Lin Chen asked.
“Does that mean you’re coming, Brother Lin Chen?” Lu Yunfan was so excited that she almost jumped out of her bed.
Lin Chen was speechless.
Couldn’t this child keep her focus on one thing?
He was saying that she hadn’t slept all night…
Without giving Lin Chen a chance to speak, Lu Yunfan continued, “As long as you promise you’ll eat the breakfast I make, I’m not afraid of getting tired! I’ll even stay awake for ten days… I won’t sleep for the rest of my life! Brother Lin Chen, I’ll go prepare breakfast for you. Come over earlier, okay? Meet me at the gallery!”
After saying that, Lu Yunfan hung up the call as if she was afraid that Lin Chen would go back on his word.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lin Chen couldn’t help but smile. His mood, which had been gloomy the entire morning, had lifted again.
After making some arrangements for today’s work in his office, Lin Chen left for Lin Jianyun…
After hearing Lin Chen was coming, Lu Yunfan hurriedly washed up and busied herself in the kitchen. She packed her heart-shaped breakfast into a beautiful heart-shaped lunch box and placed it into a thermos bag before setting off for the gallery.
Lu Yunfan hadn’t slept for the entire night. Although she had dark circles under her eyes, her mood was especially good.
She sat in the backseat of the cab, hugging the thermos bag containing the breakfast she had prepared for Lin Chen. Her heart was filled with sweetness.
Brother Lin Chen probably didn’t hate her. If he really did, why would he agree to come to the gallery?
Actually, Lu Yunfan was sincere when she sent those messages last night. However, after pulling herself together and reading those messages again, Lu Yunfan regretted it.
Brother Lin Chen was someone she absolutely couldn’t miss in her life. After thinking about it, she hurriedly called him, pretending to act cute to take back those words.
Thankfully, Brother Lin Chen didn’t seem to care about what happened last night.
Did this mean that Brother Lin Chen was very confident in her love for him?
Lu Yunfan was in an excellent mood. Even though the weather outside was gloomy… it was bright and sunny in Lu Yunfan’s heart.
