Secret Marriage : Wife Spoiling Husband

Chapter 378 - Made his blood run cold

Amidst all the happiness and joy surrounding the Lin family, there was somebody among the crowd who was besieged by gloom and despair. Everybody was cheering for Lin Xiaolu and they were happy to see a beautiful family reunion.

Long Xun was also happy for Li Xiaolu but more than that he felt guilt towards her. This guilt was so heavy in his heart that he almost crushed the glass of wine he was holding. Remembering what that person Mr.Su had told him, Long Xun's gaze deepened.

That day he has shown him two pictures. One picture was of his dad while the other picture was of Li Youbin. When Li Youbin said that his father was the one who stole Li Xiaolu as a baby, he never believed it. And after that nightmare, he wanted to seek the truth. He wanted to know what was going on. Was his father really that kind of person?

From his secret sources, Long Xun found out about the hospital in which Li Xiaolu was born. He tried to found out the whereabouts of his father that day but was met with a dead-end. He then tried searching for Li Xiaolu's parents wondering that if he found them, maybe he would get to know something.

But again he was met with a dead-end. That night he searched for everything that could help them, but there was nothing. Long Xun had no way to find the truth and he didn't know what to do next. It was like someone had blocked all of his ways to search for the truth. The more he looked for the truth, the more he realized that somebody was stopping him. Somebody didn't want him to know the truth. Who? Why?

These questions further provoked Long Xun and a fiery blaze arose in his heart and he longed to search for the truth. He wasn't someone who would give up just because he was met with a dead-end. Just when he was thinking about a way, his secret source informed him about a little detail.

The night when Li Xiaolu was kidnapped from the hospital, a doctor had resigned from there the very same day. When Long Xun heard about this matter, he felt that something was strange. His heart was telling him to go and look for this doctor and that's what he did.

This doctor was none other than Mr. Su who Long Xun visited a day before with Su Yan. On showing the two pictures to Mr. Su, Long Xun waited. From the bottom of his heart, he wanted him to verify that it was Li Youbin not his father. But Mr.Su recognized his father. That moment, Long Xun felt his heart shattering into pieces. Pain, betrayal, anger.... he felt it like never before.

That moment Long Xun questioned his life, his motive, his revenge. He was horrified to know that his father was the one who has done this bad deed to Li Xiaolu. It was very hard for him to accept the fact that his father was the one who was the reason, the cause for Li Xiaolu's destruction.

But why would he do that?

Why would he want to destroy an innocent baby's lie?

Even if he wanted to destroy Li Xiaolu's life, then why would he bring her to him and then send her to an orphanage?

Why?

His father's action was weird and it made no sense to him at all. Just when he was questioning his life and his trust in his father, Mr. Su told him something that changed everything. Hearing those few words, made his blood run cold. It was literally like a bomb dropped on his head. His mind was completely blown away.

When asked about Li Xiaolu parents, Mr. Su didn't know anything about that so he didn't dwell on that matter at that time. Who knew that he was soon going to know about her parents and like this?

Back to the present, Long Xun sipped his wine and he glanced at the Lin family which looked happy and joyful. He wondered what their reaction would be when they will find out that it was his father that kidnapped Lin Xiaolu and destroyed all of their happiness.

All of his life, he grew up with hatred for the Lin family thinking that it was because of them that he lost his father. He almost killed his Godmother, Zhu Qian, and even hurt his best friend, Zhang Zhehan whereas he is the wrong one, who was in dark. He is the one who was dancing to somebody's tunes.

By now, the light in the halls was dimmed and all of the guests starting dancing. He saw Lin Xiaolu dancing with her father. She looked so happy with her father and he wondered whether she would hate him when she would know the truth?

Of course, she will. Long Xun chuckled bitterly.

Just like that bastard Li Youbin had said, she would hate him.

He glanced at Zhang Zhehan who was dancing with his Godmother, and he wondered whether they would forgive him?

No! They won't forgive him after what he had done. Long Xun laughed helplessly in the dark as he gulped down all of the wine glasses in front of him. They were so good to him and yet he was keen on destroying their lives. The more Long Xun thought about it, the more he was filled with guilt and shame.

"One more glass of wine, " he said to the bartender

"S-sir, I, I think you — " the bartender was about to kindly remind Long Xun but before he could do so, one glare from Long Xun and that was enough for the bartender to obey quietly.

Today was one of the most beautiful days in Li Xiaolu's life because she was finally reunited with her family. She has finally gotten rid of her scars from her past life and she was looking forward to the bright future ahead of her with her husband and her family.

While she was dancing with her father, she glanced at her three brothers who were waiting in line to dance with her. She smiled at their childish behavior but at the same time, she felt a different joy in her heart. While she dancing, she felt that somebody was looking at her.

She tried to look around but she couldn't see anybody. Her father, Lin Haoming noticed that and he jokingly asked, "Princess am I such a terrible dancer?"

Lin Xiaolu was startled. She looked at her father and immediately denied it. "Dad, you are amazing." she wholeheartedly praised.

"It's just that I felt a weird gaze on me, " she informed.

Lin Haoming raised his brows and he immediately scanned through the whole place. He saw that everyone was enjoying and dancing with each other. He didn't notice anything or anyone weird.

"Dad, forget it. I think I must have imagined something, " she said.

Lin Haoming nodded but he still secretly scanned around to look for any weirdos or any weird things. Nothing mattered to him more than protecting his family.
