On the way back, Wen Sining stopped in front of the zebra crossing. The traffic light ahead was flashing red, and the numbers inside the circle were counting down.
Driven by the beeping sound, passers - by who were about to cross the road gathered around her.
"She's so beautiful!"
"I'm so envious of her. She's not only good - looking but also Lu Luochen's girlfriend."
Hearing Lu Luochen's name, Wen Sining turned her head and glanced at the two girls in student attire beside her. Their clear pupils were filled with envy.
Walking on the zebra crossing with the crowd, Wen Sining noticed that the large screen was playing the latest advertisement filmed by Yun Chutong. She was indeed an enviable woman, being powerful herself and having an even more powerful boyfriend.
Recalling the scene where Lu Luochen had a heated argument with the old master for her sake, Wen Sining shook her head with a sigh. While others thought highly of them, who could know that they were actually a pair of ill - fated lovers?
On the way, she went to the company. While checking the company's situation, Wen Sining also told Qiao Xi that there were family matters and she wouldn't come to the company for a while.
After arranging everything, Wen Sining took a taxi back to the Lu Mansion.
As soon as she entered the door, a man in black carrying a briefcase walked out. Wen Sining stopped curiously and watched the man pass by her.
A familiar feeling hit her. Wen Sining looked back at the old master who was studying some documents in the living room and instantly understood.
The man who had just left was the detective sent by the old master, and the documents in his hand were probably about Yun Chutong. She had to admit that the old master worked really fast. In just two days, he already had something on Yun Chutong. Would they have to be separated in different countries again?
No way!
Thinking of Lu Luochen's poker - faced look, Wen Sining couldn't imagine that if his white moonlight left, Lu Luochen wouldn't blame all the responsibility on her. She didn't want to take the blame for no reason.
"Forget it. Consider it as doing good deeds for myself," Wen Sining murmured in a low voice while standing by the door. Suddenly, she was startled by an arm that silently reached out.
"Madam, when did you come back?" Uncle Bai asked.
Wen Sining came back to her senses and counted on her fingers naively, "Three minutes? Or ten minutes?"
Uncle Bai hadn't been away for long. When he came out of the living room, Wen Sining wasn't at the door yet. He guessed that she had just come back and said with a smile, "Since you're back, go in quickly. The old master has been talking about you while you were away."
"Talk about me?" Wen Sining pointed at herself with her finger. "Is it edible?"
"Pfft!"
Hearing the voices outside the room, the old master was amused by her innocent words.
Putting the documents in front of him in order, the old master came out lovingly to greet her. "Did our Sining come back hungry?"
"Yeah." Wen Sining rubbed her flat belly with her palm. "It's empty and keeps growling."
As she spoke, she also made corresponding movements. The old master watched her as if watching an interesting skit and burst out laughing.
"Go and ask the kitchen to cook some delicious food."
Wen Sining watched Uncle Bai leave and showed her big white teeth foolishly.
As soon as Lu Luochen entered the gate, he saw Wen Sining's stupid look and regretted stepping in.
"Luochen, you're just in time. You come with me..."
"Grandpa, I also need to talk to him. Can I talk to him first?"
Wen Sining raised her hand softly and asked the old master for permission.
At the same time, both of them looked at Wen Sining in surprise. Lu Luochen didn't understand what they could talk about and was very repulsed in his heart. The old master doted on Wen Sining unconditionally.
"You two talk."
Lu Luochen stood at the door reluctantly, repulsed as if seeing a wild beast when he saw her.
Forget it. Since I've started helping, I'll help to the end!
Wen Sining shamelessly took the initiative to get closer to him. Before speaking, she didn't forget to check if the old master had gone far away.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say!"
"Do you have someone you like?"
Lu Luochen's eyes immediately turned sharp and he stared at her coldly.
"Don't you remember? On the iPad last night." Wen Sining waved her hands and feet to remind him.
Recalling it, Lu Luochen's expression softened a little, but his eyes were still cold.
"Actually, you two look quite well - matched. But it seems that Grandpa doesn't like her. You may need to be more careful."
Wen Sining made her point and observed Lu Luochen's reaction while speaking.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Wen Sining widened her eyes and looked at him intently.
Seeing the distance between them getting closer, Lu Luochen's temper flared up and he couldn't bear her anymore. He waved his arms in front of him and took big steps away.
"Hey, don't go. Did you understand me or not?" Wen Sining shouted, but Lu Luochen was as stubborn as a mule and left without looking back. "Fine, you're so arrogant and hot - tempered. Let's see how arrogant you can be when your sweetheart is sent abroad!"
Her good - will was trampled on, and Wen Sining was extremely angry. She clenched her fists and stamped hard on the protruding cobblestones on the ground.
"Master, the old master is waiting for you in the study."
As soon as Lu Luochen entered the house, Uncle Bai, who had been waiting for him for a long time, relayed the old master's message.
"Okay, I know."
Entering the study, the old master had his back to Lu Luochen. Looking at the desktop, Lu Luochen saw the photo in the upper - left corner of the paper.
"You've been secretly investigating Chutong!"
"You can go against our agreement. Why can't I investigate her?"
Looking at the old master with whom he couldn't reason, Lu Luochen angrily picked up the documents on the desktop. The contents were nothing more than Yun Chutong's recent interpersonal relationships and her whereabouts after returning to China. In some of the photos, Lu Luochen himself was in the frame, while the rest were taken on the film set or at home.
"If you keep forcing her to go abroad, I'll never get married and have children as you wish," Lu Luochen said angrily as he threw the photos into the trash can.
The old master was getting old, and what he was most looking forward to now was seeing Lu Luochen get married, start a career, and add descendants to the Lu family. Not getting married and having children was like cutting off his only hope in his old age.
"You rascal, are you threatening me?"
"If you think it's a threat, then it is."
The two of them were so similar in temper and personality that neither could win when they quarreled.
The quarrel in the room alerted Uncle Bai and Wen Sining outside.
"Uncle Bai, won't they fight?"
It was impossible for them to fight, but the old master's body definitely couldn't take it.
"Madam, you sit here. I'll go up and take a look."
"Okay, go quickly. If they fight, you can stop them."
Uncle Bai trotted upstairs. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the study door opened from the inside.
Lu Luochen walked out of the study with a gloomy face and a ferocious look.
"He's really out of control. He even shouted at me for a woman!"
