Stepping over the troublesome woman, Wen Minhao staggered back into the bar.
"It's okay. You're safe now," the policeman said, crouching on the ground and looking sympathetically at the woman who had nearly been molested.
If Wen Minhao had really done something to her, even if she used all her savings to sue him, it would be of no avail.
"My friend needs to go to the hospital," the woman said, pressing her palm hard on the policeman's arm as he helped her up.
The ambulance had already been called. The policeman helped them up and let them sit by the roadside, waiting with them for the ambulance to arrive.
...
The Lu Mansion.
After dinner, Lu Luochen returned to the Lu family. Seeing Wen Sining sitting on the living - room sofa, eating fruit and watching TV, he stopped halfway.
"Did the Wen family come this afternoon?"
Wen Sining was so absorbed in the TV program that she didn't react until she heard Lu Luochen's voice. Holding the fruit plate and still chewing on a toothpick, she asked, "How did you know?"
Hearing her response, Lu Luochen didn't need to ask any further. He withdrew his gaze and walked upstairs.
Wen Sining couldn't remember what was on the TV anymore. She put the fruit plate on her crossed knees, shook her head, and uninterestingly refocused on the TV.
Upstairs, Lu Luochen was led by Uncle Bai into the old master's room.
The old master had just taken his medicine. There was still an unpacked medicine box and half a glass of water on the bedside table.
"Was the company very busy today?"
"Yeah."
Lu Luochen walked to the bedside and glanced at the medicine box on the bedside table. "I've taken care of the matter you instructed this afternoon."
"Come back more often when you have time. You've been avoiding Sining. She might have thoughts about it," the old master advised earnestly.
It was impossible to make them fall in love immediately, but if they didn't contact each other, how could they develop feelings?
Since the old master found that being tough on Lu Luochen didn't work, he had changed his strategy. No matter what Lu Luochen did outside, he could turn a blind eye. Once he found a breakthrough, he would drive Yun Chutong away from Lu Luochen once and for all.
"It's getting late. You should rest early."
"Sining is a good girl. She's more suitable for you."
As the words fell, the door was closed.
Uncle Bai had been waiting outside the door. Seeing Lu Luochen leave, he entered the room. Judging from the old master's expression, he guessed something.
"Is the young master still very resistant?" Uncle Bai chatted like a friend as he tidied up the medicine the old master had taken.
Lu Luochen was perfect in every way, except for being deeply affectionate, a trait passed down in the family. Once he fell in love with someone, he wouldn't let go easily.
"Take it slow. He'll see clearly one day," the old master sighed and lay back on the bed with Uncle Bai's support.
On the other side, Lu Luochen returned to his room and sat on the sofa. Looking at the bed in front of him, there was still a women's pajamas on it.
Try to get along?
He shook his head, and immediately the image of Yun Chutong pouting and looking aggrieved appeared in front of his eyes. The thought that had just emerged was immediately dispelled. He got up and walked into the bathroom.
Wen Sining had finished the plate of fruit and also finished watching the TV series. This drama was a project her company was involved in. It was the premiere today, and as the person in charge, she had to personally check the results.
During the commercial break, she picked up the phone that was pressed under the pillow beside her.
As soon as the screen lit up, she saw the picture sent by Qiao Xi. Curiously, she clicked on it and zoomed in on the photo.
Wen Minhao?
Wen Sining took a look at the venue behind the person. Sure enough, the only place he could appear was the bar.
[This afternoon?]
After sending the message, Wen Sining clicked on the work group. Taking a general look, the employees were all sending photos of their night - time program monitoring.
After roughly scrolling through, Qiao Xi replied to her message.
[Yes, I happened to pass by. Wen Minhao was hugging two girls by the roadside. Judging from the girls' resistant expressions, they were forced. Then the police came. I don't know how the matter was resolved.]
Wen Sining looked at the message and smiled faintly. So what if the police came? Hadn't Wen Minhao caused enough trouble? Every time, it was Jiang Ruanqing who came forward to solve it. Even Wen Shiqian rarely knew what Wen Minhao did outside.
Clicking on the picture again, Wen Sining long - pressed her finger and saved the picture.
This would be useful later!
After washing up, Lu Luochen looked at the empty room. He couldn't help but think of Wen Sining. He threw the towel wrapped around his head and walked out of the room.
Wen Sining hung her head, her fingers busy on the screen. She was browsing one app for a while and then switching to another.
The commercial in reality had ended, and the program had started, but she didn't even have time to look.
Lu Luochen quietly came downstairs. He deliberately passed by the sofa and walked into the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator door, his peripheral vision involuntarily fell on Wen Sining's back.
She was so small and cute, sitting there. The adjective flashed through his mind, and Lu Luochen was stunned and slammed the refrigerator door shut.
Clearing his throat, he stood in front of the cool - water cup and poured a glass of water.
The noise in the kitchen was quite loud. Wen Sining put down her phone and turned to look. Her eyes followed Lu Luochen's steps, and she subconsciously hid her phone under her body.
The more you worried about something, the more likely it was to happen.
Lu Luochen sat on the other end of the sofa, putting the glass on the coffee table.
Wasn't he going back to rest?
Thinking this, Wen Sining stared blankly at the TV screen. Although her eyes were looking straight ahead, her mind had already drifted to Lu Luochen.
"Have you always been in Licheng?"
"What?"
Wen Sining deliberately pressed the volume button, and the TV's sound suddenly became louder. Naturally, her words were drowned out by the TV's noise.
The harsh sound made the nerves on one side of Lu Luochen's head throb. He frowned and glanced at the TV screen. In a low mood, he walked in front of Wen Sining. "It's getting late. Go to bed early."
Did she hear him right?
Wen Sining looked up, and Lu Luochen was already on the stairs.
The sun must be rising in the west. He would come down specially to tell her to go to bed early.
Shaking her head, Wen Sining obediently turned off the TV. Anyway, she didn't need to watch the rest. As long as she monitored the comments on the Internet, there shouldn't be any problems.
Turning off the living - room light, relying on the dim floor lamp, Wen Sining returned to the room. Lu Luochen was blow - drying his hair, and his phone was still in front of him.
As she passed by, her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the screen.
Humph! What concern? How could he possibly care about her?
Wen Sining's mood was like a roller - coaster. Just now she had reached the highest point, and now she had fallen to the lowest valley. She angrily picked up the pajamas at the end of the bed and walked into the bathroom huffily.
Throwing the clothes on the shelf, she sat on the toilet in a bad mood.
She was so stupid. Knowing that there was already a white moonlight in his heart, how could he care about her? Please don't be so self - indulgent next time. It's really ridiculous!
