Lin Nuan remembered that Lin Chen only drank Longjing tea from West Lake. Because they didn't have it here, Lin Nuan asked if he wanted to drink Da Hong Pao.
Seeing Lin Nuan boiling water in the kitchen, Lin Chen stood in the living room and looked around. His gaze swept over the household register on the coffee table and he bent over to pick it up.
He flipped to the next page and saw Fu Huai 'an's name. Lin Chen's dark eyes narrowed slightly.
Lin Nuan came out with a glass of water and saw Lin Chen looking at the household register. She said, "Brother, drink some water …"
"When are you planning to hold the wedding?"
Lin Chen's tone was calm as he casually put the household register back.
"I don't know. I didn't get the certificate the last time …"
Lin Chen glanced sideways at Lin Nuan, who was bending over to put the glass of water on the coffee table. His usually calm eyes flickered a little. He took off his suit jacket and casually placed it on the sofa, sitting down. "Why didn't you get the certificate?"
Sitting down, Lin Chen took out a metal cigarette box. He had already opened it, but he still closed it and placed it next to the coffee table.
Lin Nuan couldn't tell Lin Chen that they were dating before getting the certificate, so she only said, "Before getting the certificate, I want to have more time to get to know each other …"
Under the light, Lin Chen nodded in agreement. He reached out to take the still steaming glass of water and slowly blew into the glass. The steam rose up and blurred his deep features. He took a sip and said, "En, you should get to know each other better."
She recalled that before Lin Chen came in, he said he had something to say to her. She watched as Lin Chen put down the glass of water and sat down. Her right hand held onto the slender wrist of her left hand as she spoke first, "Is Mom blaming me for leaving without saying goodbye?"
Lin Chen glanced at her, his expression unreadable. "You still know?"
She clenched her wrist tightly and said in a low voice, "Brother, I just feel that it's unfair to Lin Ran for me to always appear in front of you …"
Hearing this, Lin Chen's brows furrowed slightly. He subconsciously reached for the cigarette box, but he was about to put it down when he reached for it.
"Go ahead, it's fine …" Lin Nuan's voice was soft as she got up to open the window. "I'll just open the window."
She had heard from Liang Mulan that Lin Chen had been rather tired and stressed after taking over the Lin family business for the past few years. It was just that Lin Chen and Lin Nuan were both rather reserved and unwilling to talk about it. On the other hand, his addiction to smoking was increasing day by day, to the extent that he couldn't stop smoking.
Lin Nuan could tell that he had been holding it in ever since Lin Chen entered the room.
The heavy rain outside had yet to stop. As soon as Lin Nuan opened the window, she was greeted by a gush of cold air and humidity.
Lin Chen took out a cigarette from the metal cigarette case and watched Lin Nuan's back view as she pulled up the curtains. He tapped the cigarette on the cigarette case before bringing it to his lips and lowering his gaze to light it up.
Hearing the sound of Lin Nuan sitting back down, Lin Chen took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Lin Nuan's delicate face with his dark and deep gaze. "It's unfair to Lin Ran, but is it fair to you if you don't interact with your family?"
Lin Nuan opened her mouth.
"It's been so many years. Dad, Mom, me, and your relationship isn't a computer program that can be deleted at will. Tell me, what's the difference between what you're doing and stabbing your family's hearts with a knife?"
Lin Chen spoke slowly, his deep voice unhurried and full of authority and persuasiveness, making one's heart ache.
Lin Chen then glanced at the cigarette between his fingers and asked, "Do you have a disposable cup?"
