Wen Sining was hanging upside down from the head of the bed, her head tilted upwards as she stared at the iPad on the bed.
Just as she shifted into a different position, the door was forcefully pushed open.
The doorknob slammed against the wall, and the entire door trembled. One could almost sense its pain just from the sound.
As soon as Lu Luochen entered, he saw Wen Sining lying on the bed in a strange position, with his iPad that was supposed to be on the desk placed in front of her.
He quickened his steps and snatched it away. "Who said you could touch this?"
Wen Sining retracted her yoga - like posture and glanced at him. "Grandpa said I could use anything here. He didn't tell me I couldn't touch this."
On the surface, she looked like an innocent little rabbit, but in her heart, Wen Sining was almost spitting fire at Lu Luochen, comparing him to a stuffy - headed person.
Was it really necessary? It was just an iPad. He didn't have to take out his anger at the old man on her. In this marriage, wasn't she the victim?
What a petty man!
Wen Sining stood up from the bed and walked up to him timidly. "If you're unhappy, I won't touch it again."
The iPad screen was still on, showing Yun Chutong's account page.
Lu Luochen subconsciously sized up Wen Sining. "Where did you go this afternoon?"
"Ah? What?" Wen Sining didn't understand why he suddenly cared about her whereabouts and instinctively pretended to be confused.
They were standing very close, and Lu Luochen clearly saw the scar on her face.
From afar, it just looked ugly, but up close, there were tiny, reddish blood vessels on it. The hypertrophic parts were like plump worms clustered on the scar.
A wave of nausea rose in Lu Luochen's stomach. He pushed Wen Sining away with his arm and took a step back.
Want to vomit?
Wen Sining covered the scar on her face and looked at Lu Luochen with a hurt expression.
"Get out. I don't want to see you." Lu Luochen turned sideways and pointed at the door mercilessly.
Wen Sining sobbed a few times and ran out sadly. Once she was far away from the room, the tears on her face added a touch of perverse beauty to her smile.
As if she was eager to be with him! After a few interactions, Wen Sining's impression of Lu Luochen changed instantly.
He was quite handsome, but his character was not that great. It seemed that she should keep her distance from him and stay out of harm's way.
The next day, when the old man learned that Wen Sining had slept on the living - room sofa all night, he immediately scolded Lu Luochen.
After being scolded out of the blue just after waking up and coming downstairs, Lu Luochen thought it was all Wen Sining's scheme. She deliberately slept on the sofa to make Grandpa Lu feel sorry for her.
After breakfast, Wen Sining deliberately followed him back to the room.
If she had been a bit slower, her face would have hit the door. Wen Sining took a sharp breath but still walked into the room resolutely.
"Did I let you in?" Lu Luochen stood in front of the wardrobe, his attitude harsh.
After some hesitation, Wen Sining slowly said, "I didn't mean to make you get scolded by Grandpa. You didn't let me sleep in the room last night, and I was so sleepy, so I slept on the living - room sofa."
To Lu Luochen, her explanation was just a false pretext.
He opened the wardrobe, took out a suit, and walked up to her with a solemn expression.
Wen Sining was tall. Standing beside Lu Luochen, she had a demure and delicate posture, and their height difference was just right.
"Are you angry?" Wen Sining tilted her chin and asked curiously.
"I don't care where you sleep. Please don't make me suffer because of your actions in the future." Lu Luochen left this warning and entered the bathroom.
Wen Sining touched her burning face and stared blankly in the direction of the bathroom.
"What are you thinking about!" she muttered to herself and slapped her cheeks with both hands.
Just as she was about to continue proving her innocence to Lu Luochen, Uncle Bai came up.
When she learned that it was a call from the Wen family, Wen Sining remembered Jiang Ruanqing's instructions.
She went downstairs to the living room and picked up the phone.
"Aunt?"
"Sining, how are you doing in the Lu family? Are you getting used to it?"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Ruanqing softened her voice and asked gently.
Wen Sining got goosebumps from her voice. She glanced at Uncle Bai beside her. "Yes, I'm fine. Grandpa Lu is very kind to me. And the Lu family's house is so big. They have so many servants, and the food is so sumptuous every day."
"Really? Then have you told the old man about your cousin?"
"Cousin?" Wen Sining was completely confused. "What's wrong with my cousin? Why should I let Grandpa Lu know about him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Uncle Bai, who was about to leave, stopped and continued to stand there listening.
Jiang Ruanqing bit her tongue. She suppressed her anger and gently guided, "Just a few days ago, the thing I asked you to do when you came back."
Wen Sining just kept saying "yes" but never got to the point. Jiang Ruanqing on the other end of the phone was almost driven crazy by her stupidity. All her patience was about to be used up.
Swallowing her dryness, Jiang Ruanqing said hoarsely, "Is there anyone beside you?"
"Yes." Wen Sining smiled at Uncle Bai. "Do you want to talk to Uncle Bai?"
"Forget it. Do you have time this afternoon? Aunt misses you." Jiang Ruanqing gave up and had to change her plan.
"Sure. I miss you too, Aunt." Wen Sining immediately agreed.
Going to the Wen family was also an excuse. After all, those idiots only cared about their own business and wouldn't pay attention to her.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Sining saw Lu Luochen walking out. After he disappeared from sight, she looked in Uncle Bai's direction.
"Uncle Bai, can I go back to the Wen family?"
"I have to ask the old master about this."
"Then I'll go."
Wen Sining happily went upstairs.
Knowing that Wen Sining wouldn't get Lu Luochen's attention at home, the old man, out of guilt towards her, specially arranged a car to take her to the Wen family.
When they arrived at the Wen family, Jiang Ruanqing saw a car parked at the door and rushed out immediately.
Uncle Bai came with her. He was there on the old master's orders to greet the Wen family on his behalf.
Jiang Ruanqing had met him before. It was Uncle Bai who came to inform them about the marriage contract between the two families.
"Sining, quickly invite him in." Jiang Ruanqing greeted warmly.
As long as they were from the Lu family, they were useful people in her eyes.
"No, I'm just sending Miss Wen home. I'm also here to visit you on behalf of the old master." Uncle Bai declined modestly.
Sent her in person?
Jiang Ruanqing looked at Wen Sining in a new light. What on earth did this stupid girl do to deserve the old master's favor?
"Then drive safely on the way."
After seeing Uncle Bai off, Jiang Ruanqing immediately showed her true colors.
"You heartless girl. Are you avoiding us now that you've made it big?" Jiang Ruanqing poked Wen Sining's forehead viciously.
Her sharp fingertips left nail marks on Wen Sining's fair skin. Wen Sining flinched in fear, rubbing her hands back and forth. She was almost on her knees begging for mercy. "Aunt, I didn't. I haven't made it big."
