With a deafening "bang", the anti - theft door, along with its frame, was kicked down by Lu Luochen in one go, crashing to the ground with a thunderous thud.
Just then, Wen Sining, who finally heard the commotion at the door and came out of the bathroom, stared blankly at the two people at the door through the empty door frame.
After a long while, she blinked her eyes and gasped, "What are you guys doing! Why did you break my door!"
Qiao Xi automatically took two steps back, proving with her actions that she was not in the same group as Lu Luochen. She was just a poor, helpless bystander.
Lu Luochen retracted his long legs, took a big stride and walked straight in. He grabbed Wen Sining's shoulders and began to check her over.
Qiao Xi also walked in. She coughed dryly and said, "Well, Sining, why was your phone turned off? I couldn't get through to you. I was worried something had happened to you."
"Hey, stop turning me around! I'm not a tumble dryer!" Wen Sining pushed Lu Luochen away and pulled Qiao Xi aside.
"Why did you bring this pest along when you came?"
So Qiao Xi briefly told her what had happened, from receiving Lu Luochen's call to him kicking down the door.
After hearing this, Wen Sining couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth. When she turned to look at Lu Luochen, she found that he was walking leisurely into the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water as if he were in his own home.
Originally, she had deliberately avoided Lu Luochen and didn't want him to know where she was staying. But unexpectedly, in just a few days, Lu Luochen had found out and even gave her such a "big gift"...
Wen Sining's gaze drifted towards the "martyred" door.
Lu Luochen sensed her gaze. He turned his head away somewhat guiltily, not daring to look at the door. He just said in a stiff voice, "I'll arrange for someone to repair it right away."
Then he took out his phone and called his assistant.
At this moment, Jin Yihao, his personal top - notch special assistant, had just arrived home. He was about to open a bottle of red wine to soothe his aggrieved heart when he received Lu Luochen's call.
When he learned that Lu Luochen had kicked down someone's door along with its frame, he couldn't help taking a deep breath. He thought to himself that he must never, ever anger Lu Luochen in the future. Then he belatedly realized that their boss had kicked down his wife's door...
Oh, this situation was a bit like a showdown.
Jin Yihao mourned for his boss while hurriedly looking for a door - repairman.
At this time, Wen Sining also understood why Lu Luochen and Qiao Xi had appeared at her door and broken her door. However, it was precisely because she knew the reason that she found it both funny and annoying. She ran into the bathroom and grabbed a small thing.
"I'm fine. I turned off my phone because I was startled by this little thing and it dropped to the ground and broke."
Wen Sining explained, rubbing her forehead.
Just over forty minutes ago, when Wen Sining was on the phone with Lu Luochen and about to take the elevator upstairs, she suddenly saw a black bag beside the elevator. And the black bag was moving.
Out of curiosity, she walked over to take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the bag, two little rabbits jumped out, scaring her into screaming instinctively.
One of the rabbits accidentally bumped into her phone, and the phone slipped out of her hand. With a "splat", it fell to the ground and died on the spot.
After Wen Sining finished telling the story, all three of them fell silent.
After a long while, Qiao Xi forced out a couple of laughs. "Haha, it was just a misunderstanding. Fortunately, we didn't call the police. Otherwise, we would have wasted the police officers' time. That would be a waste of social resources, right... It's good that you're okay. That's the main thing."
She couldn't go on anymore and silently closed her mouth.
Fortunately, the door - repairman came at this time. When he saw the door lying on the ground, he let out a "whoa".
"Little girl, how did your door break? I've been repairing doors for so many years, and I've never seen such a thick anti - theft door fall along with its frame."
Wen Sining replied with a forced smile, "This door was kicked by a donkey."
As she said this, her gaze casually swept over Lu Luochen. The latter opened his mouth but said nothing.
The repairman sighed, "It's really rare to see a donkey in the city these days." Then he rolled up his sleeves and started working.
Seeing the atmosphere in the living room getting more and more tense, Qiao Xi involuntarily swallowed her saliva. With the thought of "better a friend in trouble than myself", she quickly said, "Sining, since you're okay, I'll go home first. I'm tired after a long day. I'd better go home and rest early."
Then she ran away in a flash, afraid that Wen Sining would ask her to stay the night.
No way, she didn't dare!
In an instant, in the huge living room, except for the door - repairman who made some noise from time to time, only Wen Sining and Lu Luochen were left, staring at each other.
"When are you going back?"
"Wen Sining, come back to the Lu family mansion with me."
Their voices rang out simultaneously.
"..."
They both fell silent.
After a moment, Wen Sining picked up her water cup and took a sip of water. She said,
"I won't go back."
Lu Luochen: "Grandpa misses you very much."
Wen Sining: "..."
Damn Lu Luochen! He actually used Grandpa as a persuader!
"I'll go see Grandpa tomorrow, but I won't move back to the Lu family mansion."
Humph, even if he used Grandpa as a persuader, she wouldn't agree to go back! Lu Luochen must be crazy. God knows when he'll have another fit!
Moreover, they were destined to get divorced. It was better for both of them to draw a clear line earlier.
Lu Luochen opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Wen Sining directly made a stop gesture and said, "Stop. I know what you want to say. I can clearly tell you that I'm serious about the divorce. If we still want to be friends in the future, we'd better part on good terms."
Lu Luochen's eyes moved.
"Can we still be friends?"
Wen Sining was stunned for a moment, then sneered.
"Of course. A proud son of heaven like Mr. Lu probably wouldn't want to be friends with someone like me."
"I didn't mean..."
Wen Sining showed a look of not wanting to listen. She glanced at the progress of the door - repairman and said, "Lu Luochen, the door will be repaired soon. If there's nothing else, please leave."
"... I'll leave after the door is repaired."
After all, those who could buy a house here were worth at least tens of millions. One should always be on guard against others. Moreover, Wen Sining was the only one living in this huge house. Lu Luochen was worried.
Wen Sining casually glanced at him. Thinking that the door should be repaired in at most half an hour, she was too lazy to argue with him anymore. She simply left a faint "whatever" and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
Unless it was really too late, Wen Sining usually cooked her own meals.
The kitchen was an open - style kitchen. Lu Luochen, sitting in the living room, could see Wen Sining's every move in the kitchen.
At this moment, wearing an apron, with a faint smile on her lips and humming a tune from time to time, Wen Sining seemed to be surrounded by a halo in his eyes.
