After Wen Sining tidied up the room, it was already late, but Lu Luochen still hadn't come back. After settling Xiao Zhan down, she went back to the master bedroom to rest.
She originally intended to wait for him, but before she knew it, she fell asleep shortly after lying in bed.
Lu Luochen had an immediate social engagement. By the time he got home, it was already midnight. It was the nanny who opened the door for him.
After he entered, he went straight to the second floor. When he reached the door of the master bedroom, he gently turned the doorknob and found that Wen Sining was already asleep. He could also smell the pungent odor of alcohol on his body. In order not to disturb her rest, he closed the door again and walked towards the guest bedroom next door.
Due to extreme fatigue, Lu Luochen didn't turn on the light after entering. He threw his coat to one side and fell asleep directly on the bed.
The next day.
Wen Sining woke up. She instinctively reached out to touch the space beside her and found it cold. It seemed that Lu Luochen hadn't come back last night. She got dressed and walked downstairs.
Seeing the nanny bustling around, she asked, "Didn't Lu Luochen come back last night?"
"The master came back last night at midnight. He reeked of alcohol," the nanny replied.
Wen Sining nodded. Since he had come back, why hadn't she seen him recently?
"Madam, didn't you see him?" The nanny just then realized that otherwise Wen Sining wouldn't have asked.
Wen Sining nodded.
"That's strange. I clearly opened the door for him last night," the nanny said, looking very puzzled.
"Forget it. Don't worry about him. There are many people today. I'll go to the kitchen to help you," Wen Sining said.
The nanny immediately refused. How could she let Wen Sining cook breakfast? She said she could handle it herself.
But Wen Sining still went into the kitchen. She planned to cook some pumpkin porridge.
The two grandfathers also woke up. Seeing Wen Sining in the kitchen, one of them said, "Ningning is cooking again. We're in for a treat for breakfast today."
Wen Sining responded. Just as her voice faded, they heard a roar from upstairs. Clearly, the voice belonged to Lu Luochen.
"Xiao Zhan, why are you here!"
As soon as Lu Luochen woke up, he found someone lying beside him. He thought it was Wen Sining, so he instinctively reached out to touch the person's face. When he found the touch was wrong, he woke up completely, and that's when he said this.
"I was also wondering why you came to my bed," Xiao Zhan shouted. He also found it inexplicable that there was suddenly an extra person in the bed. The important thing was that neither of them had noticed, and they had just slept like that for a whole night.
Those downstairs knew something was wrong and rushed upstairs one by one. When they opened the door of the guest bedroom, they saw Lu Luochen and Xiao Zhan fighting.
The two old men quickly stepped forward to hold back their own grandsons. Standing at the door, Wen Sining immediately understood what was going on and found it rather amusing.
Lu Luochen stormed out of the guest bedroom angrily and headed towards the monitoring room. He wanted to check the surveillance footage to find out exactly what had happened.
Wen Sining followed behind him. The two of them went to the monitoring room together. Lu Luochen directly retrieved the surveillance footage from last night and found that he had gone to the guest bedroom on his own initiative.
Just as Xiao Zhan walked in and witnessed this scene, Lu Luochen angrily turned off the monitor.
"Now you don't need me to explain. It was you who came on your own," Xiao Zhan said with a helpless look.
Lu Luochen glared at him fiercely, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. Sure enough, alcohol was not a good thing. He shouldn't drink too much in the future.
"So what? This is my home. I can sleep wherever I want," he said stubbornly.
After saying that, he walked straight towards the master bedroom.
"Get dressed and come down for breakfast," Wen Sining's voice rang out behind them.
Lu Luochen responded.
Wen Sining continued downstairs to finish preparing breakfast. After Xiao Zhan got dressed, he came downstairs first.
Grandpa Xiao saw him and immediately winked at his grandson. "Sining is busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Hurry up and go help her." He was always trying to create opportunities for them.
Xiao Zhan understood and went into the kitchen.
Wen Sining was just about to make sandwiches. Seeing him come in, she said, "Xiao Zhan, why did you come in? Breakfast will be ready soon."
Xiao Zhan nodded but showed no intention of leaving. "Is there anything I can help with?" He looked at the ingredients in front of him and didn't know where to start. He couldn't cook. Usually, he either ordered takeout or ate in the hospital cafeteria.
Wen Sining kept working with her hands. The nanny was helping her on one side. "No need. You'd better go out." Making breakfast didn't require so many people.
Seeing that he really couldn't be of much help, Xiao Zhan had no choice but to leave the kitchen. However, he also made up his mind that he must learn how to cook well in the future.
Grandpa Xiao, sitting outside, saw his grandson go in and come out soon. He looked at him with a look of disappointment. "Go get the bowls and chopsticks."
Xiao Zhan nodded.
Today's breakfast was extremely sumptuous. Several people were sitting at the dining table.
"Which ones did you make?" Lu Luochen turned to ask Wen Sining beside him.
"The millet porridge and the sandwiches," Wen Sining replied. She could only make some simple breakfast.
"Then I'll have these," Lu Luochen said and was about to pick up the ladle to scoop up the pumpkin porridge.
Just as he put the ladle down, Xiao Zhan picked it up and scooped up a full bowl.
The two of them seemed to be competing for food. Helplessly, Wen Sining had to step in to mediate.
"Both of you, eat your breakfast properly. Why are you still acting like kids?"
The meal ended like this. Just now, Wen Sining had been busy mediating the conflict between the two of them and hadn't eaten much of her breakfast. On her way to work, when she passed by a breakfast shop, she stopped to buy a few buns. Just as she started the car and was about to pick up Qiao Xi, the phone beside her rang. Wen Sining picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Lu Luochen. Could it be that she had left something at home? With a sense of doubt, she answered the call.
As soon as she answered, she saw Lu Luochen's somewhat solemn face appear on the phone screen. Looking at his expression, she had a bad feeling that swept over her whole body.
"Yun Chutong's condition has worsened again," Lu Luochen said slowly.
Previously, the doctor had told him that Yun Chutong's condition had improved a lot. Who would have thought that just overnight, her condition had worsened again, and her mania was getting more and more serious. There must be someone behind this.
Sure enough, "What should we do now?" Wen Sining asked.
"Let's go to the sanatorium first to see how her condition is," Lu Luochen suggested. It was hard to explain clearly over the phone. They could only know after seeing her in person.
Wen Sining agreed and said that she would rush to the sanatorium right away. Soon, the two hung up the phone. Wen Sining then told Qiao Xi that she had something urgent to attend to and asked her to take a taxi to the hospital first.
After giving the instructions, she drove the car towards the sanatorium.
