After a long time, Yan Beicheng finally let go of her. He muttered whether he should stay here and sleep with Lin Chu instead of going to the study.
Lin Chu poked him speechlessly. "If you have something to do, go do it. Come back quickly when you're done."
Every time he was about to leave, he would come over and kiss her. She could have left immediately, but because of this, he would drag her out for half an hour, dilly-dallying.
If he didn't have to pester her every time he left, it wouldn't be like this.
Lin Chu didn't know what to say. She was speechless and sweet at the same time.
After poking him just now, she pulled her arm out of the blanket. One side of her fair and tender shoulder was naturally exposed. The upper half of her collarbone looked like it had been exquisitely carved and polished. It was alluring and beautiful.
Yan Beicheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but kiss her collarbone from one end to the other. He only let go after Lin Chu pushed him.
Yan Beicheng licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll be back in a while."
Lin Chu didn't say anything. She just watched Yan Beicheng leave the bedroom. However, her gaze almost made Yan Beicheng unable to walk out the door.
It wasn't like they were going to be separated by life and death. He didn't even want to leave the villa. Yet, he made it seem like they were going to disappear forever.
Lin Chu felt that Yan Beicheng had something to do in the study and probably wouldn't be back for a while, so she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Yan Beicheng went to the study and took out a cardboard box from under the cupboard. The cardboard box was clean, and it was obvious that someone had cleaned it often. However, the cardboard box was sealed with tape. After Yan Huaiyuan passed away, Old Madam Yan endured the pain to sort out his belongings. She sealed the box and never opened it again.
Yan Beicheng took a utility knife and cut the tape. He took out a photo album and closed the box. After some thought, he took out some tape and sealed it. And he planned to bring this photo album home.
After putting the box back, he opened the door of the study and saw Old Master Yan.
"Grandpa," Yan Beicheng called out after a moment of daze.
Old Master Yan nodded and explained, "I was thirsty and got up to drink a glass of water. Why didn't you rest early? Why did you go to the study?"
As he spoke, his gaze landed on the photo album in Yan Beicheng's hands. His sleepiness immediately dissipated, and his eyes, which had become a little cloudy due to his age, stared at the photo album. His eyes reddened uncontrollably.
Yan Beicheng's throat was a little dry. He didn't want the two elders to see this and feel sad. Because the box was sealed all year round, even though the two elders had always been thinking about Yan Huaiyuan, they never had the courage to look at his voice and smile from back then. Therefore, Yan Beicheng was not afraid of the two elders finding out that he had taken the photo album.
But now that he was caught red-handed, it brought back Old Master Yan's sadness.
Old Master Yan usually looked like a normal person, but in front of Old Lady Yan, he was like a paper tiger. He couldn't do anything except to raise his beard, but he still hid Yan Huaiyuan's wound in his heart.
Yan Beicheng naturally couldn't tell Old Master Yan about Lu Zhenghang and make him angry, so he said, "I was just talking to Lin Chu about my childhood, and I wanted to let her see Dad. At least let her get to know her father-in-law. "
Grandfather Yan covered the tears in his eyes and nodded. "Go to bed early after you're done."
Yan Beicheng agreed and watched Grandfather Yan return to his room before he left.
Old Master Yan went back to his bedroom and got into bed. He still couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He sniffled and secretly wiped his tears. As a result, he couldn't hold back his emotions. He tried not to cry out loud, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Old Lady Yan was woken up by the noise and kicked him rudely. "Why are you messing around so late at night? Go to sleep."
Grandfather Yan sighed and buried his face in the pillow.
Yan Beicheng returned to his bedroom and found that Lin Chu had already put on her pajamas. She was sitting on the bed, feeling refreshed. The blanket covered her waist, and there was still the smell of shower gel on her body.
"Why didn't you wait for me and went to shower by yourself?" Yan Beicheng asked gloomily. He really enjoyed bathing with Lin Chu. Although he could only touch her and eat half of her, it was enough to satisfy his craving.
Moreover, although Lin Chu's body didn't have much meat after she was pregnant, it was abnormally soft and comfortable to hold.
Of course, Yan Beicheng wouldn't say it out loud. Lin Chu didn't bathe with him often anyway. If he said his real purpose, Lin Chu would have to guard against him even more.
So what he said was, "The bathroom floor is slippery. What if you fall? I'll be at ease if I'm by your side to protect you."
Lin Chu spat at him. "Can't you hope for me to be better?"
Yan Beicheng also felt that he had jinxed her. He spat twice and squeezed into the blanket. He hugged Lin Chu tightly in his arms again. He was a little afraid that his jinx would come true. He wanted to slap himself.
Lin Chu saw this and comforted him. "Alright, alright. You just said it casually. You didn't mean it. If you don't take it seriously, then it's fine. Besides, I was careful when I showered. I didn't even dare to use the bathtub. I was afraid that it would be slippery inside, so I wore slippers and a non-slip mat. "
Yan Beicheng hugged her tightly again. Lin Chu could feel the nervousness and care in his heart under his strength.
"Then I'll bathe with you in the future. I'll only be at ease when I see you," Yan Beicheng said in a low voice.
Lin Chu: "…"
Don't be like this, okay?
"Promise me," Yan Beicheng urged. His expression was even pitiful.
Lin Chu couldn't resist this kind of pitiful attack.
Unknowingly, he nodded in a silly manner. "Okay."
Yan Beicheng was happy. The corners of his lips curled up into a charming smile. At this moment, his pair of black eyes seemed to be covered with water ripples, light and translucent, and filled with affection. Coupled with his appearance, when he made such an affectionate expression, it was really impossible for anyone to resist.
Lin Chu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His body uncontrollably softened. The image of his thin lips stained with sparkling light and even his chin glowing with affection surfaced in his mind.
Seeing his wife staring at him in a daze, Yan Beicheng was quite satisfied with the fact that he was very handsome. He lowered his head and kissed her slightly open and somewhat silly lips. He patted her head and finally woke her up.
Lin Chu's face turned red. She was especially embarrassed about her loss of composure. She lowered her head and after a while, she found a topic to save her face. "Didn't you have something to do in the study? Why are you back so soon? I thought you were busy there, so I went to take a shower first. "
"I was just looking for something." Yan Beicheng patted Lin Chu's shoulder and handed it to him. "This is a photo of me when I was young. My father is in it. You'll know when you see it. No one will doubt my identity after seeing it, even if they don't know that I have the ability of a family head. "
Lin Chu opened it and looked. The first page was of Yan Beicheng when he was a baby. It seemed that he had just learned to sit and was sitting on a man's lap.
Perhaps it was because of the baby, but the man's waist and legs were especially long and graceful. The man lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes. It was as if one could see his long and dense eyelashes. Seeing that all his attention was on the baby, his expression was gentle. It was as if this baby was his everything. It was worth it to do anything for him.
His elegant hands carefully held the baby so that he would sit comfortably and not get hurt. He was very gentle, afraid that he would hurt the baby's fragile and soft bones.
Seeing how gentle the man was, Lin Chu felt that if he were to put that gentleness on a woman, she would probably be willing to give up everything for him.
With just a glance, Lin Chu recognized that the man in the photo was definitely Yan Beicheng's father, Yan Huaiyuan.
And the baby in his arms was Yan Beicheng.
The small round face had yet to grow, and it could only vaguely match Yan Beicheng's current facial features. However, Yan Huaiyuan looked almost exactly the same as the current Yan Beicheng.
Lin Chu continued to flip through. It was a record of Yan Beicheng growing up day by day. Not every photo was of him and Yan Huaiyuan. There were many photos of him alone, and there were also photos of him with the two elders of the Yan family. However, there was no photo of him with Jiang Changdai.
Even though he hadn't finished reading, Lin Chu was sure that it wasn't just this one. All the photo albums in the house didn't have Jiang Changdai.
Perhaps Jiang Changdai wasn't even willing to take photos with them, or perhaps after Yan Huaiyuan's accident, the two elders threw away Jiang Changdai's photos.
There were also a few photos of Yan Huaiyuan playing with Yan Beicheng. Neither of them looked at the camera, so it was obvious that they were captured. Lin Chu also saw Yan Huaian's appearance when he was young.
As expected, Jiang Changdai didn't appear at the end.
Yan Beicheng explained, "After my father's accident, Grandpa and Grandma organized his things and threw away all of Jiang Changdai's things. If there were photos of them together, they would have cut them. However, there weren't many, so it didn't take much effort. It's just that the two elders burned all of their wedding photos. "
Lin Chu noticed that Yan Beicheng couldn't even be bothered to call her Madam Jiang anymore. He didn't know if it was because he had seen the photos, but he was becoming colder and colder towards Jiang Changdai. He didn't even care about her at all.
Lin Chu looked at Yan Huaiyuan's photo in a daze. That appearance was 90% similar to Yan Beicheng's. He had a thought. Jiang Changdai hadn't treated Yan Beicheng well since he was young, and as Yan Beicheng grew older, she became more and more excessive. Perhaps it was because Yan Beicheng looked too similar to Yan Huaiyuan.
Seeing Yan Beicheng was like seeing Yan Huaiyuan.
Whether it was out of guilt for Yan Huaiyuan's death or her unwillingness to marry him back then, Jiang Changdai wasn't willing to face Yan Beicheng.
Her guilt towards Yan Huaiyuan made her unwilling to face Yan Beicheng. Her hatred towards Yan Huaiyuan was a kind of transference, which made her hate Yan Beicheng even more.
He didn't see Lin Chu's expression and only saw the back of her lowered head. No matter how much Yan Beicheng understood her, he couldn't guess what she was thinking at the moment.
He only said, "Now you know, I look very similar to my father. We're practically carved from the same mold. No one can doubt my identity."
Lin Chu nodded and closed the photo album. Thinking of Yan Huaiyuan's beautiful appearance, he felt that it wasn't worth it.
