The pattering sound of water came from the bathroom. Wen Sining stood between the bed and the sofa, gave a devilish smile, then quickly threw the quilt in her hand aside and rushed towards the soft bed.
By the time Lu Luochen finished showering and came out, Wen Sining had already occupied the whole bed. Her body under the quilt was sprawled out in a star shape, and her fingers tightly grasped the bedsheet beneath, leaving no chance for the other person to get in.
Fine!
Lu Luochen threw the towel in his hand onto the chair, walked to the bedside, and with a wave of his big hand, the whole quilt was thrown to the ground.
A cold breeze blew. Wen Sining smacked her lips and turned over, hugging her knees tightly.
"Wow, it's so delicious..."
In the quiet air, the sound of her smacking lips echoed.
Lu Luochen gave in and turned to walk to the sofa.
It was a peaceful night. Early the next morning, the maid came to knock on the door.
Wen Sining stretched lazily and reached out to touch her cheek. She felt that the scar on her face had shifted its position, so she quickly pulled the quilt over her head.
Lu Luochen, a tall man of 1.8 meters, had curled up on the sofa for the whole night. Hearing the noise from outside the door, he got up from the sofa impatiently.
He glanced at the bulging lump on the bed and then came to the door.
"Master, it's time for breakfast," the maid stood at the door, constantly peeping into the room.
Lu Luochen walked out and closed the door behind him. "I know. You don't need to wait here."
When he returned to the room again, Wen Sining had already got out of bed. She was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and after tossing around in the quilt, her hair was in a mess.
Out of sight, out of mind. Lu Luochen walked to the wardrobe, took out the clothes he was going to wear, and then went into the bathroom.
As soon as he left, Wen Sining immediately found the mirror in the room. She checked the scar on her face, took it off, and readjusted its position.
Downstairs in the living room, the old master was holding the city morning newspaper.
"Master," the maid stopped in front of the tea table.
The newspaper was neatly folded and placed in front of him. The old master raised his hand and signaled. "Speak."
"The young master just got up, and the young mistress is still sleeping."
"Sleeping in the bed?"
"Yes."
The old master showed his white teeth. With the white bedsheet from yesterday and her not getting up late today, it seemed that the day when he could hold his grandson was getting closer.
During breakfast, the old master kept observing if there was any communication between them. By the time breakfast was almost over, Lu Luochen didn't even look up at Wen Sining once.
"Cough cough," the old master cleared his throat.
Hearing this, Wen Sining immediately and obediently picked up the teacup in front of her. "Grandpa, have some tea."
A large cup of water was placed in front of him. The old master was stunned for a few seconds and then burst into laughter. "If Luochen were half as obedient as you, I wouldn't have to be angry and worried every day."
Flatterer!
Lu Luochen finished the last sip of milk, then said to the old master, "I've finished eating. I'll go to the company first."
"Don't be in a hurry," the old master raised his hand to signal him to sit down. He took a sip of the tea Wen Sining had handed over. "Put aside the company's affairs for the next few days. Sining just came to the Lu family, and you've never met before. You don't know each other well. During this period before the wedding, you should stay at home and bond with Sining."
"Grandpa!" Lu Luochen stood up from his chair excitedly. He stared at Wen Sining and retorted to the old master, "The current project is very important to the Lu Corporation. I can't be absent and stay at home."
"You can't earn all the money. The Lu Corporation is unrivaled in Licheng. You should also give some benefits to the companies below," the old master taught.
Since Lu Luochen took over the company, all aspects of the company had advanced by leaps and bounds, leaving the parallel enterprises far behind. Even if he stopped working for a few days, the old master wasn't worried that there would be any problems with the company.
"I'll go out to meet an old friend later. You stay at home and accompany Sining."
In the huge house, as soon as the old master left, there was no one on Wen Sining's side anymore.
Lu Luochen stayed in the study and forbade her to enter. The maids sneered at her and took every opportunity to mock her behind her back.
Bored Wen Sining could only stay in the living room and watch the boring and brainless romance dramas.
After a few episodes, Wen Sining looked up at the upper floor. Was he going to stay inside all day?
Then she...
She turned off the TV, and the sunken sofa bounced back. Wen Sining tiptoed out of the living room. Taking advantage of no one noticing her, she slipped out of the house.
Running all the way, Wen Sining looked back from time to time. It was exciting and she was happy. She couldn't help humming a song.
After completely escaping from the Lu family mansion, Wen Sining casually hailed a taxi by the roadside.
...
"Chutong, are you willing to talk to me again?"
It took a long time after the call was dialed, but Yun Chutong finally answered Lu Luochen's call.
The assistant beside her was holding an umbrella for her and carrying the coffee she had just drunk. Passing through the complicated equipment on the set, she came to the RV.
Yun Chutong waved her hand to dismiss the assistant and stayed alone in the air - conditioned RV filled with cold air.
"Aren't you busy today?"
"Yes, I'm at home. I didn't go to the company."
Yun Chutong's action of taking off her accessories paused for a second. She looked down at the phone screen in front of her. "Did you not go to the company because of her?"
Hearing what she meant, Lu Luochen quickly explained, "Don't think too much. It's just that the company isn't busy today. I don't need to go to the company so early."
"I won't think too much. I'm not related to you in any way, and I have no right to control you," Yun Chutong said sourly and then was about to hang up in a huff. "I have to start shooting. Bye."
It was always Lu Luochen whose call was hung up. He stroked the wallpaper on the screen and made up his mind to deal with Wen Sining as soon as possible.
He came downstairs, looked around, and stopped a passing maid. "Where is she?"
"Huh?"
"Wen Sining!" Lu Luochen's tone became harsher. "Where is she?"
The maid looked at the sofa. The person who should have been sitting on the sofa was gone.
"I'll go find the young mistress right away," the maid said hurriedly.
Lu Luochen walked from the living room to the yard. In the huge house, he couldn't even find a hair of hers. They hadn't even said a few words to each other, let alone having each other's contact information.
He searched the whole Lu family, almost digging three feet into the ground, but still couldn't find Wen Sining.
"Stop looking. Go do your own things," Lu Luochen said to the maid.
Since she could leave without a word, he also hoped that she wouldn't come back.
Lu Luochen went into the house, changed his clothes, and drove his Maybach out of the Lu family mansion.
On the way, he contacted his assistant to find out where Yun Chutong was shooting.
...
"Sining, didn't you ask for leave today? Why are you here again?" Qiao Xi was carrying big and small bags. While looking at the uneven ground under her feet, she asked Wen Sining, who was helping her carry the things.
After taking off the scar on her face, Wen Sining changed into a professional suit. She looked at the shooting site in front and slowed down. "Let's take a break."
The things were very heavy. Just a short distance had left red marks on their fair and delicate palms.
