"Finish this glass and go back quickly. I've got things to do tonight. You won't get rid of me that easily." Feng Jingcheng took the wine bottle away and stared at him as he drank up the glass in his hand.
He quickly reached over and snatched the glass, then snapped his fingers to call over a waiter.
"Take him out and call a designated driver for him."
The waiter looked at Lu Luochen sitting silently in the booth. In the darkness, his face was even gloomier than the surrounding environment.
Lu Luochen staggered to his feet and kicked at Feng Jingcheng's annoying leg.
"I can walk by myself." Lu Luochen shrugged off the waiter's helping hand and walked out of the bar alone.
The wind blew on his face, sobering him up a bit. There were some designated drivers waiting for jobs at the bar entrance. Lu Luochen randomly pointed at one and threw the car keys to him.
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Lu's Mansion."
"Got it. Sit tight."
The designated driver stroked the steering wheel of the Maybach, with so much cold sweat on his palms that it could fill a basin.
The car drove very slowly all the way. The half - hour drive actually took an hour.
"Brother, we're here." The designated driver parked the car steadily and turned to look at Lu Luochen in the back seat.
Under the influence of alcohol and physical exhaustion, Lu Luochen had slept all the way. When woken up by the driver, he took out a few hundred - yuan bills and handed them to him.
"Keep the change." Lu Luochen stopped the driver from looking for change.
It was the first time the driver had met such a generous customer. The joy on his face was hard to hide. "Thank you, brother. Do you need me to help you in?"
"No. You can go." Lu Luochen sat in the back seat without any intention of getting out.
Even though his home was right beside him, it felt less comfortable than a car.
When the servants at home saw the Maybach stop at the door, they quickly ran over to open the door.
The Maybach didn't move for a long time, and the servants stood by waiting patiently.
"Master?"
The back - seat door was opened.
Lu Luochen, reeking of alcohol, walked past the servant and went straight to the living room.
"Aitong?" Lu Luochen looked at the cat cage and stopped to call out.
The cat had run somewhere. No matter how many times Lu Luochen called, there was no response.
The alcohol was getting to him, and his head hurt badly. He stopped calling the cat. Holding on to the railing, he floated up the stairs.
The old master wasn't home tonight, so Lu Luochen naturally went to the guest bedroom. Lying on the big bed, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the master bedroom, Wen Sining learned that Lu Luochen had come back. She waited and waited until she felt sleepy, but he didn't show up.
"Madam, what are you looking for?"
Wen Sining was standing furtively on the stairs, half of her body leaning on the railing and looking down.
"Didn't Lu Luochen come back? Has he left again?"
"Master has gone to the guest bedroom."
The servant answered.
The guest bedroom?
Wen Sining looked back. On the first night the old master left, he slept in a separate room from her. He really was keeping his chastity as a man and always remembering his white moonlight.
It was kind of funny. She, as his fiancée, felt quite aggrieved. If she wanted to know her future husband's whereabouts, she had to ask the servants at home.
After returning to the room, Wen Sining angrily locked the door again. This time she was smarter and took the spare key into the bedroom in advance.
Anyway, the old master was out, and she wasn't afraid of others discovering her true self.
She lay on the bed sprawled out. This was the most comfortable and peaceful night for Wen Sining.
Early the next morning, Aitong's meows echoed throughout the Lu's Mansion.
Lu Luochen sat up on the bed, supporting his temple. He moved his numb right hand and glanced out of the window.
"Meow～"
Lu Luochen got out of bed. He had been awakened by the cat.
"Aitong, be good. We need to go into the cage."
"Maybe we'd better not. It won't eat or drink once it's in the cage. Let it stay outside."
One cat and three people were at a loss in front of the cage.
"Who told you to lock it in the cage?"
The servants suddenly turned around. The cat in their hands seemed to sense its support was coming and scratched at the servant's hand to break free.
"Meow～" The cat quickly ran to Lu Luochen's feet and nestled there, licking his trouser leg.
Lu Luochen bent down to pick up the cat and stroked its fur.
The fur wasn't as soft as before. The fur on its lower body was stained with mud and water, making it stiff and clumpy.
Lu Luochen examined the cat carefully. His deep eyes became solemn. "Who was in charge of taking care of Aitong these days?"
The servants all lowered their heads in unison. They stood in a row, but no one dared to speak.
"Answer me!"
"It's Madam."
"Madam told us to lock Aitong in the cage. Later, when Aitong refused to eat or drink, she told us to let it out and not let it into the living room."
As soon as the servant finished speaking, Lu Luochen turned around and went upstairs.
He came to the bedroom door. The cat in his arms seemed to sense Wen Sining's presence. It became restless and scratched at Lu Luochen.
Aitong was the cat raised by Yun Chutong. Before she was forced to go abroad, she specially entrusted the cat to Lu Luochen. Seeing the cat was like seeing Yun Chutong. The cat was treated better than people.
Seeing the cat's intense reaction, Lu Luochen raised his hand to open the door.
It was locked again!
Lu Luochen went downstairs to get the spare key but learned that Wen Sining had taken it.
He sneered at the cat and mechanically stroked its fur.
Bang～Bang bang～
Wen Sining was awakened by the violent knocking. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to sit up in bed.
Was there an earthquake?
Rubbing her eyes, she looked at the stable items in the room.
"Wen Sining, open the door!" Lu Luochen shouted outside.
"So it wasn't an earthquake." Wen Sining murmured. She slowly walked to the bathroom to put on the scar makeup.
Opening the door, she covered her mouth and yawned. Just as she was about to speak, the cat was placed in front of her.
"Meow～" The cat seemed to be declaring war and meowed at Wen Sining.
Wen Sining immediately let go of the doorknob and took a silent step back.
This step was noticed by Lu Luochen, who thought she was feeling guilty.
Lu Luochen carried the cat into the room. He looked around and saw the spare key on the bedside table.
"From now on, this room is not allowed to be locked from the inside!"
"No. I don't feel safe if I don't lock it."
Wen Sining retorted disapprovingly.
Who knew if he would break into the room drunk in the middle of the night and mistake her for his sweetheart. Moreover, she didn't want to waste her beauty sleep taking care of an ungrateful cat.
Just thinking about how she had fed him water and wiped his face the other night, and after working hard all night, she was kicked out of bed and wrongly accused made her angry.
"Don't be so self - important. With your looks, do you think you need to feel insecure?" Lu Luochen mocked.
All men in the world were so vulgar!
Wen Sining looked at Lu Luochen disdainfully and retorted defiantly, "Even if I'm ugly, you still have to marry me. What's the use of being beautiful? What you're destined to have or not have in life has already been determined in advance."
Lu Luochen dropped Aitong and rushed towards Wen Sining in one stride. He roughly pushed her against the wall. "Say that again!"
