Xiao Zhan finished shooting the last set of advertisements. His agent had been waiting impatiently by the side with the phone in hand.
"My dear, could you please hurry up?" It wasn't impatience with Xiao Zhan, but rather with the work.
It was the first time the agent had been so eager to please an artist. He even forgot his own job and only wanted to meet this kid's divine doctor grandpa.
The agent just hoped that the old man would take a look at his chronic ailments, wishing to live a few more years.
He looked more pious than anyone while praying. He even personally slung the bag that Xiao Zhan was supposed to carry onto the latter's shoulder.
"I'm riding on grandpa's coattails. Don't be in a hurry. I've already made arrangements with grandpa. He'll examine you." Xiao Zhan wasn't in a rush. He was looking down at his watch, waiting for the minute hand to reach twenty.
Wen Sining promised to go and see grandpa with him after work.
These days, he had been as busy as a spinning top, moving from one place to another. If he continued like this, his body would probably break down soon.
When the clock struck, a large crowd rushed out of the shooting base. Even the company seemed deserted.
Wen Sining was the last to come out, holding a large stack of design drafts in her hands. Xiao Zhan felt a twinge of pity and quickly stepped forward.
He suppressed all his longing and just behaved like they did when they were kids, joking around.
"Why do you still make yourself suffer so much even though you're the boss now?" He sounded like a mature and enthusiastic big brother taking care of his younger sister.
Wen Sining watched helplessly as this guy took her manuscripts and unceremoniously threw them to the agent.
"Don't be polite. Our agent has a favor to ask, or he wouldn't have waited until now."
The relaxed words completely dispelled the tense atmosphere among the three. Wen Sining felt a bit embarrassed at first, but then gradually loosened up.
She knew that Xiao Zhan had always taken good care of her. She had promised to go and see grandpa before, but it had been postponed again and again because of the company's troubles.
They made an appointment at a very simple teahouse. Grandpa liked this kind of place the most.
The divine doctor grandpa was old. The reason he had traveled all the way from the countryside to the city was none other than this rascal Xiao Zhan.
As soon as grandpa saw him, he walked up with his walking stick, almost hitting him.
But when he saw clearly the little girl following behind him, he put on a different face. He was so kind that Xiao Zhan felt like he was an adopted grandson.
This guy was really good at acting coquettishly. His face fell, and he stood beside grandpa, sounding jealous as he said, "Grandpa, am I your adopted grandson?"
The agent rarely saw this kid frowning. It seemed that the grandfather - grandson relationship was really close. He was an outsider and didn't want to say much, so he quickly thought of a way to go to the front desk to order food.
His lower back pain couldn't wait any longer. He had seen countless famous doctors but to no avail. If he hadn't heard Xiao Zhan boast about his grandpa's miraculous medical skills, he wouldn't have come today.
"Child, you've really suffered here. Is the scar on your face already healed?"
Wen Sining shook her head and carefully explained her current identity to grandpa.
"So you're a special agent! You're just like your grandma back then. She was so lively and cute that she charmed all of us young guys."
It was as if he had returned to those days. Since grandpa was so enthusiastic about talking, they, as the younger generation, wouldn't interrupt.
Wen Sining was really curious, so she pestered the divine doctor grandpa and finally showed her coquettish side in front of the elder.
"Grandpa, could you tell me what grandma was like back then?"
Xiao Zhan finally saw the girl he had been longing for. However, the plain little face of the past was now overlaid with thick eyeshadow and lipstick, and her fair skin was covered with heavy foundation.
By the time the group finished dinner, it was already evening. The hospital was in a hurry because there was a patient who just wouldn't eat. He said he had to wait for his wife to come.
They really had no idea what to do. Moreover, the phone number Wen Sining left when she left was the one of the old mansion.
After Uncle Bai heard about Mr. Lu's situation, he quickly sent a car to pick Mr. Lu up and take him home for treatment.
After being away for half a month, Lu Luochen returned home again. He didn't see the old man and looked a bit disappointed. But thinking about what he had done in the past, he also felt that he deserved it.
"Sir, don't worry. The old man just wasn't feeling well and couldn't wait until this late. He's already gone to sleep. It's not that he doesn't want to see you. You can have a good chat tomorrow when he wakes up."
Uncle Bai was like an elder comforting a disobedient child. Lu Luochen had grown up under his watch, and he couldn't just watch him make the same mistakes again.
Lu Luochen was cold. He wanted to say something, but he hadn't communicated with them like this for a long time. He always felt that the words were stuck in his throat.
Who would have thought that the eloquent and elegant President Lu in the meeting room and at the negotiation table would be like a mute in front of the elders at home.
It wasn't until the servant carried Lu Luochen upstairs that he asked, "When will Wen Sining come back?"
The servants had no idea. They only knew that the madam was sleeping downstairs and had said that no one was allowed to disturb her under any circumstances.
Lu Luochen thought about it and realized it made sense.
He suffered from insomnia all night. He opened his eyes when he heard noises downstairs, put on his slippers, and slowly walked downstairs, holding on to the wall.
Wen Sining was acting like a thief. If there weren't only a few people in the family who knew her identity, she wouldn't have been so cautious.
"You're back."
These words suddenly scared her so much that she jumped up. The keys and bag in Wen Sining's hand fell to the ground, and even her phone landed screen - first.
"You scared me." Wen Sining gave the culprit a fierce look. Her panting voice unconsciously carried a bit of softness.
Anyway, she felt guilty. Who would have known that this man had been brought back home.
"You... When did you come back?" Wen Sining was the one who had come back late, but she felt like she was interrogating a cheating husband.
Lu Luochen didn't show hostility like before. While thinking about who he really loved, he felt more and more guilty. He had treated her so badly, but she still took care of him.
If that was the case, maybe the two of them could live a good life.
But now, although Lu Luochen was willing, Wen Sining didn't want this kind of charity anymore.
Wen Sining rubbed her throbbing forehead. That rascal Xiao Zhan had actually forced her to drink. If grandpa hadn't been there, this guy would have been even more arrogant. Next time, she must teach him a lesson!
Thinking about these things, Lu Luochen's matters didn't seem so important anymore.
