Chapter 47 – Brother-in-law? (2)

Ye Zhen’s hands trembled. She instinctively gulped.

It was true that she had asked Lu Beichuan to help her find her sister back when they had visited the Ye family.

However, she had just casually mentioned it. And, she was sure that Lu Beichuan hadn’t taken her seriously at the time. Finding someone was only a small matter for him. Why would he personally come to the airport to catch her?

What is this a joke?

Ye Zhen couldn’t pull her wrist out of Lu Beichuan’s grasp. He was holding her too firmly. As soon as she thought of the baby in her stomach and the baby’s future as well as her own in the novel, she immediately felt anxious and angry. “Let go of me! It’s none of your business who I want to run away with to elope!”

A nearby middle-aged woman, who was waiting in the boarding line, tried to persuade her, “Young lady, you shouldn’t say that. You don’t know how sinister someone’s heart can be. Right now, you have your heart set on a man and love. Your emotions are stirred up, and you want to run away with your boyfriend. But, not only do you have to think about your future, you have to think about how worried your parents must be feeling. Don’t be impulsive. Otherwise, when you’re older, you’ll come to regret your decision!”

“Yeah, marriage may seem like it’s only a matter between two people. But, in the end, it’s really a matter between two families. Eloping won’t solve your problems. Go back home with your brother-in-law and seriously talk it out with your family.”

“Exactly, your parents only want the best for you. They have more life experience than you. You’re only a young girl. Don’t be fooled by your boyfriend.”

One after another, people tried to persuade her. At the end, even the smiling flight attendant tried to persuade her, “Little sister, how about you carefully consider this matter?”

Ye Zhen watched as time ticked away. Lu Beichuan hadn’t loosened his grip on her wrist at all. She understood that there was no way she would be able to leave today.

“Let go of me then, I’ll go back home on my own.”

“No!” Lu Beichuan said, “Your sister wants to see you. Come back home with me.”

Right after these words were said, several airport managers rushed over here. Seeing Lu Beichuan, they greeted him with smiles and shook his hand. Lu Beichuan let go Ye Zhen’s wrist and walked to the side to chat with the managers. As for his two bodyguards, they stood on on either side of her and respectfully said, “Miss Ye, please come this way.”

Ye Zhen glanced at Lu Beichuan with a furrowed brow. Lu Beichuan had one hand in his pocket. He was leisurely standing there ramrod straight in his fitted western suit while chatting with those managers. His long legs looked perfectly fine. His face was expressionless in front of those smiling employees.

Under the forced escort of those bodyguards, Ye Zhen left the airport, went down to the parking lot, and got into the car.

The car’s temperature was set at a suitable temperature, but Ye Zhen’s hands couldn’t stop shaking.

While Lu Beichan’s actions had traces of reasonableness, there were gaps in logic when she carefully thought about it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The most important question was, why had Lu Beichuan come to the airport with great fanfare to look for her?

Just as she was thinking about this, the car’s door opened, and Lu Beichuan sat down. It felt as if the car was immediately saturated with a familiar hormone. Ye Zhen’s muscles suddenly tensed up in nervousness and alertness.

Lu Beichuan glanced at her. “Are you that afraid of me?”

She had been so close to her good life, and Lu Beichuan had so easily ruined it for her. Perhaps, she was being influenced by the baby. Ye Zhen lowered her head, and in a downcast mood, she said, “Brother-in-law, I can just go home. There’s no need to trouble you and older sister.”

With slightly narrowed eyes, Lu Beichuan looked at her from his peripheral vision with a hard to interpret expression and said, “It’s no trouble.”

After saying this, he handed over a soft blanket to Ye Zhen. In an irrefutable tone, he said, “Use this.”
