Facing Lu Luochen's explanation, Yun Chutong refused to believe it. Men were all driven by their lower desires. Spending every day together, it was inevitable that he would be tempted one day.
"Luochen, do you really love me?" Yun Chutong asked dejectedly, her doubts lingering.
The word "love" was easy to say but heavy to act upon.
Lu Luochen always proved his love with actions. He took a step forward and domineeringly pulled Yun Chutong into his arms.
His arms tightened, leaving no space between their bodies.
"Just wait a little longer. I'll give you the identity you want soon," Lu Luochen whispered into Yun Chutong's ear.
Soon?
How long was that?
Yun Chutong hadn't been in a hurry to marry Lu Luochen before. Relying on her beauty and status, she enjoyed being adored by all men.
She took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around Lu Luochen's neck. Her breath fell on his cheek. Frowning, she acted coquettishly and pressed on, "Really? Aren't you afraid Grandpa will be angry?"
"Hehe!"
A stern cough forced their attention away.
Uncle Bai stood there looking embarrassed. He gave Yun Chutong, who had been so forward, an unfriendly look before turning his gaze back to Lu Luochen.
"Master, the old master wants to see you," Uncle Bai said.
"I got it," Lu Luochen replied, but his feet remained rooted to the spot.
In Yun Chutong's eyes, Uncle Bai was just a servant in the Lu family. Instead of wasting time trying to please him, it was better to focus on Lu Luochen.
Just as some sayings went, the more a man wanted something but couldn't get it, the more it would bother him.
"Master, you'd better go now. You know the old master's temper. If he gets angry, it won't be good for anyone," Uncle Bai advised again.
Lu Luochen was touched, but facing Yun Chutong, he was in a dilemma.
"Go quickly. I'll wait for you in the apartment when we get to Licheng," Yun Chutong said, pushing Lu Luochen away.
"Okay," Lu Luochen replied, lowering his head to kiss her on the forehead. He stroked her hair before getting up and entering the first - class cabin.
The old master sat there majestically, his eyes like a radar scanning towards Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen returned to his seat. It was a long time before Yun Chutong came back.
The short flight ended soon. After the plane landed, the old master forced Lu Luochen to support Wen Sining.
Yun Chutong watched this intimate interaction the whole time.
"You're hurting me," Wen Sining complained. She felt as if her arm was about to be broken.
It wasn't her who had forced this. Why was he taking his anger out on her?
Wen Sining caught a glimpse of Yun Chutong behind them from the corner of her eye. She elbowed Lu Luochen hard in the chest as punishment for his rough handling.
Caught off guard, Lu Luochen was hit right on target.
He reached out and grabbed her elbow, instinctively pulling her into his arms.
Yun Chutong looked up and saw Lu Luochen's hand.
Was this how he was going to give her an identity soon?
Yun Chutong strode forward, deliberately bumping her shoulder against Lu Luochen to remind him.
"Don't touch me without my permission," Lu Luochen said, coming to his senses and pushing Wen Sining away with disgust.
After the action, he nervously glanced at Yun Chutong walking ahead.
After being pushed away, people behind Wen Sining all squeezed past her.
Humph, as if she wanted to touch him.
After leaving the airport, before getting in the car, Lu Luochen took the opportunity to say a few words to Yun Chutong. Yun Chutong barely responded.
"Sining, do you still need to go to the hospital to check your foot?"
As Wen Sining was about to get in the car, the old master, who was already sitting inside, asked subconsciously.
The foot injury was almost healed. Going to the hospital would just be for a simple dressing change and some anti - inflammation, which wouldn't help much with the recovery.
"Stop the car at the hospital later. Luochen, go with Sining to get an X - ray and see if there's any bone injury," the old master decided authoritatively.
Hearing this, the driver changed the direction of the car.
"I have other things to do," Lu Luochen refused. His eyes swept over Wen Sining with disgust as he resisted the old master's request.
Before getting in the car, he had promised Yun Chutong that he would go to see her after dropping off the old master.
"All other things can be postponed," the old master said.
"We're not married yet. I have no obligation to take care of her all the time," Lu Luochen retorted.
The two in the car argued again. Each held their own view and was unwilling to give in.
The atmosphere in the car was heavy and oppressive. The driver in the front didn't even dare to breathe loudly. The car moved at a constant speed, and he drove nervously.
Crawling along like a snail, the car finally reached the hospital.
"Get out of the car!" the old master ordered Lu Luochen.
Wen Sining's hand rested on the car door handle. After hesitating for a few seconds, she opened the door on her own. "Grandpa, I'll go by myself. I want to go back to the Wen family after seeing the doctor. My aunt said she missed me these days."
Wen Sining told this lie without batting an eyelid.
The old master was still looking at Lu Luochen, waiting for his response.
The car door was wide open, and the wind blew gently into the car. It wasn't until a car honked impatiently from behind that the tense atmosphere in the car was broken.
Bang!
Lu Luochen got out of the car and slammed the door shut. The vibration of the door showed his anger.
Wen Sining snapped out of it and quickly followed him.
Watching the two enter the hospital hall, the old master was satisfied and told the driver to drive away.
"This card has no password," Lu Luochen said, reaching into his pocket and taking out a black card. He casually threw it in front of Wen Sining and glanced outside impatiently.
Why not take the money if it's offered?
Wen Sining grabbed it without hesitation and smiled at him. "Can I buy other things?"
"Whatever," Lu Luochen said. Seeing the joy on her face, he felt a wave of nausea.
His status and wealth made all the women around him have the same goal: his money. Yun Chutong was different. She always thought about him and loved him not for his money.
Lu Luochen told Wen Sining to contact him after she was done and then took a taxi away from the hospital.
Holding the card in her hand, Wen Sining finally found an outlet for her pent - up anger.
The injury was his fault, so it was only right for her to use his money to treat her foot. She registered, paid the fees, and got checked. After confirming that there was no bone injury, she took a taxi to the mall.
Passing by the luxury goods area, she came to the children's clothing section.
"Welcome. May I help you, ma'am?" the salesgirl greeted Wen Sining enthusiastically.
The children's clothing store was huge, with products for babies all the way up to teenagers.
"Can you recommend some clothes suitable for a girl about eight years old?" Wen Sining asked, gesturing at about the height of Tiantian with her hand.
