Chapter 619: Sudden departure
Although Linhou wanted nothing more than to pretend he didn’t hear the phone ring, he knew better than to blow off Han Xichen. That was a death wish and he still wanted to remain alive, at least long enough to explore his brand-new relationship with Yue.
So, although it pained him to do it, he forced himself out of the pool and grabbed a towel. He took a quick shower in the changing room’s bathroom and walked out just as Yue stepped out of the women’s room.
"Ready to face your dad?" he asked with a mischievous grin, making her laugh.
"You make it sound like my dad is a monster of some sort."
Well, he wasn’t, but that didn’t mean he was not going to go ballistic. Linhou winced when he remembered how the man had looked at him.
However, Han Xichen had let him take his daughter out after all. That had to count for something.
When they arrived at the Han residence, Linhou could feel daggers shooting through his skin. He knew Han Xichen was watching even though he hadn’t seen the man yet. When he glanced up to the first floor windows, he realized he was right. Han Xichen was standing by his window, watching them.
He pretended not to have noticed and circled the car to open the door for Yue. She placed her hand in his and once she got down, she kissed his cheek.
"It will be alright." She assured him.
He nodded, only half-believing that. The only reason why Han Xichen was yet to kill him was because he was friends with Jiang Xingyu.
By the time they finally got into the house, Han Xichen was in the living area waiting for them.
