"Sir, Madam, you're back. Doctor Xiao boiled a stomach-nourishing soup tonight. He said that you and Madam are usually busy with work and often don't eat on time, which is harmful to your stomach. He specially boiled it for you. I'll ask someone to serve you a bowl and let it cool down?"
Uncle Bai stepped forward to take the suit jacket from Lu Luochen's hand and said with a smile.
Just having eaten not long ago, Wen Sining couldn't drink anything anymore. But thinking that this was specially boiled for them by Grandpa Xiao, she was afraid of hurting the old man's heart if she didn't drink it, so she nodded.
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Bai."
"It's no trouble. I and the master also drank a bowl tonight. The taste is really good. Madam can drink a little more if you like it later."
"Okay."
Wen Sining smiled sweetly. After turning the porch, she saw the old master Lu still sitting on the sofa watching TV. She immediately ran over with small steps and sat down beside the old master Lu.
"Grandpa, you haven't rested yet."
"It's Ningning who's back. Did you have a good time with Luochen tonight?" The old master Lu glanced at Lu Luochen, and there was a rare look of satisfaction in his eyes.
When the two were about to go out for dinner, Lu Luochen called home and told the old master not to wait for them to come back. The two of them were going out for dinner alone.
Originally, this meal was a thank-you meal from Wen Sining to Lu Luochen, but in Lu Luochen's mouth, it became a special meal for the two of them.
Since receiving the call, the old master Lu's mouth hasn't stopped smiling. He has been happy all night, which made Doctor Xiao very unhappy. As a result, he even stopped playing chess.
"It was... okay." Anyway, she had a great time tonight.
"That's good. You are still young. Don't learn from us old men and stay at home all day. Go out and play when you have nothing to do, travel, etc. to change your mood. Don't become as rigid as us old men."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I just like to stay by Grandpa's side. It's very safe."
"You, why is your mouth so sweet? It's not like Luochen. He is like a gourd with a sawn mouth. If he doesn't say a word for a long time, he will make me angry as soon as he opens his mouth."
Without any reason, Lu Luochen was scolded. He was full of innocence.
But he knew that the old master Lu was talking about the old him, so he could only smile bitterly and accept the scolding.
Seeing Lu Luochen's still calm appearance, the old master Lu nodded in satisfaction and slapped Lu Luochen on the back of his head.
"You stinky boy, you've finally grown up. In the future, I can finally save some worry and enjoy my old age in peace."
Lu Luochen touched the back of his head that didn't hurt at all and said helplessly, "Grandpa, just talk. Don't do anything, okay? You've beaten out my brain."
"Fart. Don't I know how much strength I've used? Don't you stinky boy try to shape me into a ruthless image in front of Ningning."
"Hehe, I think Grandpa did a good job. He just deserves to be beaten. He has worried you for so many years. He should be beaten a few more times." Wen Sining fanned the flames on the side.
"Did you hear that? My granddaughter-in-law said that you deserve to be beaten. Then I'll beat you a few more times to make you remember."
As he said, the old master Lu slapped Lu Luochen on the back a few more times, and Lu Luochen also let him beat him obediently.
"Ningning, if he dares to bully you in the future, you can treat him like this. If he dares to resist, you tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will avenge you."
"Okay, this is what you said, Grandpa. Don't go back on your word."
"I won't go back on my word."
"Let's pull the hook."
The grandfather and grandson pulled the hook childishly. Lu Luochen on the side was full of helplessness, and Uncle Bai was full of smiles.
The old master Lu's spirit is getting worse and worse. After chatting for less than half an hour, the old master Lu showed obvious signs of fatigue. Finally, Lu Luochen and Wen Sining supported him from left to right and sent him back to the room.
"Uncle Bai, you can go and rest too. We can handle the rest by ourselves."
Uncle Bai didn't decline either. He returned to his room with a smile.
Wen Sining brought out the cooled stomach-nourishing soup. She and Lu Luochen sat on a sofa each and drank quietly.
Just as the two were about to finish drinking, Wen Sining's phone on the coffee table suddenly lit up. Lu Luochen subconsciously glanced at it and found that it was a message from someone with the note "White Baby" -
Dear Sister Ningning, your baby is back.
Lu Luochen's face immediately turned cold, and the temperature around him dropped rapidly.
Wen Sining didn't notice at all. She quickly picked up her phone and took a look. She immediately beamed with joy. She was so excited that she didn't even have time to type. She directly sent a voice message.
"Baby, you're finally back. Sister misses you so much. Are you already in the country now? When's your flight? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up at the airport?"
After a while, the other party also sent a voice message. Wen Sining didn't turn up the volume, but Lu Luochen still heard every word clearly.
Only a bright and sunny voice came: "I'm already in the capital. I arrived at eight o'clock tonight. Hehe, I didn't tell you just to give you a surprise."
Immediately afterwards, the second voice message was sent: "Sister, wait for me. I'll come to Lishui to find you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay. It's been a long time since we saw each other. I really miss you. When you come to Lishui, I'll take you around. There are many fun things in Lishui recently."
"Okay, okay. Then it's settled. See you later."
"See you later."
"Hehe, I love you. Mua."
Hearing the other party's obviously extremely happy voice, Wen Sining couldn't help laughing either. She replied, "I love you. Mua."
The conversation between the two suddenly stopped here. However, when she didn't notice, Lu Luochen's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
With a "bang", Lu Luochen slammed the bowl on the coffee table, snorted, and left without looking back.
Wen Sining blinked blankly and whispered, "Strange. Who offended him again? He's sunny one moment and rainy the next. He's like a woman in menopause. He's so moody."
She shook her head and didn't intend to delve deeper. She finished the soup in her bowl in a few mouthfuls, then took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it, and then happily returned to her bedroom.
In the guest room, Lu Luochen stood under the shower and let the cold water hit his body. However, he felt as if there was a fire in his heart. The conversation between Wen Sining and that "White Baby" kept repeating in his mind.
Finally, it was fixed on the sentence "I love you. Mua." Lu Luochen finally couldn't help but punch the wall.
The pain on the back of his hand immediately made Lu Luochen regain his senses.
Looking at the wound on the back of his hand, Lu Luochen immediately put it under the water to flush it as if he had been scalded by fire. Looking at the blood being washed away was like the loss of control just now never happened.
At the same time, Wen Sining was happily lying in bed and sending emoticons to White Baby.
