The moon climbed into the sky, and its white light dappled brightly on the sea. Feeling the cool night breeze, Lu Luochen got up from the ground.
There was no one around anymore, and the lights along the shore had been lit. The light merged with the moonlight, shining together on the sea. It was hard to tell whose the dazzling light belonged to.
After Lu Luochen stood up, his eyes searched for Wen Sining's figure in the dim light. He was the only one on the entire beach.
His memory stretched back. He seemed to recall Wen Sining, who had been in a mood and insisting on going back.
His calm heart suddenly tightened. He took steps on the soft sand. As he walked, his heart grew more and more restless.
"Wen Sining!" Lu Luochen shouted anxiously towards the empty seaside.
Moving from one side to the other, Lu Luochen tore off the buttons on his collar. Finally, he stood in the middle of the beach without any result.
Looking out at the boundless sea, the waves were rolling gently. They pushed a batch of shells onto the beach and then carried some sand back into the sea.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of his eyes. A helpless figure was squatting by the sea. As he watched, the figure got closer and closer to the water, and then a wave swept the person in.
Worry appeared in Lu Luochen's cold eyes. His heart was occupied by the disappearing Wen Sining.
Half an hour passed. After failing to find Wen Sining by the sea, Lu Luochen's eyes fell on the Maybach that was faintly visible by the roadside.
He fumbled in his pocket and took out the keys. Instinctively, he pressed the button on it, and the headlights of the car flashed an orange halo.
Standing in front of the open car door, Lu Luochen let out a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Sining sleeping soundly.
Thank goodness she was safe!
Lu Luochen reached out and closed the car door. His movement was quick, but the door made no sound at all.
Wen Sining moved a little in the car and changed her position. She didn't wake up at all because of Lu Luochen's appearance.
After Lu Luochen got into the car, he took off his coat and threw it on the back seat. He turned on the car's air - conditioner and put his finger in front of the air outlet. After feeling the temperature, he drove away.
The car was moving at a constant speed on the winding mountain road, constantly going in circles. Lu Luochen occasionally glanced at Wen Sining in the passenger seat.
As they left the mountain area, the phone regained signal. Lu Luochen's phone rang non - stop, just like a timed alarm clock.
The missed calls were all from a few hours ago, and almost all of them were from Yun Chutong.
In the past, when Lu Luochen saw missed calls, he would call back immediately. He could wait for Yun Chutong, but he couldn't let her wait for him for a long time.
Now, seeing these calls, his heart was as calm as still water. It was as if he had received unimportant calls, and he had no intention of calling back at all.
Wen Sining turned over again, exposing her face from under her arm so that her nose could breathe fresh air.
The movement was not big, but it all fell into Lu Luochen's eyes. He turned on the mute button on his phone, and the car returned to silence.
The Maybach shuttled through the bustling city. After passing countless traffic lights, it finally stopped in front of the Lu residence.
"Master, Mistress!"
The car lights shone in the courtyard, and Uncle Bai, who was feeling sleepy, woke up instantly. He dragged his numb hands and feet and staggered to open the big gate.
The driver who had been left behind came back first and told Uncle Bai what had happened at the hospital gate. After that, Uncle Bai had been sitting at home uneasily for an afternoon.
"You're finally back. After learning about your situation, I was still hesitating whether to contact the old master and ask him to send someone to look for you." Uncle Bai told Lu Luochen about his worries.
"We're fine. We went to the seaside temporarily." Lu Luochen closed the car door.
The seaside?
Uncle Bai gave Lu Luochen a meaningful look.
He had watched Lu Luochen grow up. After his parents died accidentally, Lu Luochen grew up beside the old master. When he first took over the company, he seemed steady and capable of handling things with ease, but after all, he was just a child.
Every time he completed a project or encountered difficulties, he would throw everything aside and run to the seaside for a whole day. At first, the old master was afraid that his psychological endurance was weak and he might become decadent. But every time, he completed the projects better than everyone expected.
Gradually, Uncle Bai also understood the significance of the seaside to Lu Luochen, so he no longer worried that he would do something stupid.
After a long time, he had gone to the seaside again.
Uncle Bai looked at Lu Luochen with heartache and secretly wiped the corner of his eye.
"Uncle Bai, it's getting late. Go back and rest." Lu Luochen walked to the passenger seat. After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't worry. I'm fine."
"You..." Uncle Bai sighed.
Without the company of his parents, and with the old master being so strict all the time. Even though Lu Luochen was his only grandson, the old master still educated him according to military strategies.
"Then you and the mistress should rest early. You still need to take the mistress to the hospital for a check - up tomorrow." Uncle Bai reminded him wordily.
Lu Luochen accepted all the reminders. After watching Uncle Bai leave, he reached out and pulled open the car door.
Wen Sining's head was leaning on the back of the seat. When the car door opened, the slight vibration made her head, which was tilted high, fall down.
Her head seemed to be casually placed on her neck. It swayed from side to side, looking as if it would fall off at any time.
Lu Luochen bent down and got into the car. He opened his palm and supported the back of Wen Sining's head. His other hand was placed on her waist. The warm touch made him stand there, slightly stunned.
Why was he carrying her out?
Facing the sleeping woman, Lu Luochen retracted his hands as if he had a split personality.
Bang~
Wen Sining groaned and rubbed her head with her fingers. Her eyes were half - open and half - closed. It was hard to tell if she was awake or still sleeping.
After pressing for a while, her wriggling movement stopped, and the finger that was sticking to her forehead dropped.
The back of her hand hit the hard object on the edge of the seat. Wen Sining just turned her body and didn't make any sound of pain.
Lu Luochen's hand reached out towards her again. He cast aside all his thoughts and carried Wen Sining in his arms like a princess.
He closed the car door with his toe and carried Wen Sining into the living room. The servants had finished their housework and had gone back to their rooms to rest early.
All the way to the room, Lu Luochen carefully placed Wen Sining on the bed. Standing at the foot of the bed, he looked down at her and reached out to undo the buttons of his shirt.
What was he going to do!
Wen Sining tightly grabbed the wrinkled bedsheet with the hand that was placed on the quilt.
Actually, she had been awake since the moment Lu Luochen got into the car. Along the way, she had been wondering why a person who was usually so normal had suddenly become so gentle?
To prove that it was all accidental, Wen Sining still pretended to be sleeping after the Maybach arrived at the gate of the Lu residence.
If it had been before, Lu Luochen would definitely have opened the car door forcefully and then closed it forcefully. He wouldn't have cared about Wen Sining's state at all during the whole process and would have just done everything according to his own will.
