Of course Qiao Xi refused.
This little episode passed quickly, and the group ordered some dishes.
The meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Wen Sining was still a bit worried about Qiao Xi. She noticed that although Qiao Xi was smiling, based on her understanding of her, this matter definitely wasn't that simple.
"You two go out first. I have something to say to Xixi," Wen Sining said, shooing them away.
"What can't we listen to?" Feng Jingcheng deliberately replied.
"Let's go," Lu Luochen wasn't going to indulge him. He grabbed Feng Jingcheng and pulled him out.
After the two left, Wen Sining turned to Qiao Xi and asked, "What's going on between you and that woman just now?"
Qiao Xi didn't expect her to ask this question. She thought she had covered it up well, but Wen Sining looked like she wouldn't let this go until she got an answer.
She had no choice but to confess. Before, when she took the contract to the other company to discuss cooperation, the woman she dealt with was the one just now...
After hearing this, Wen Sining squeezed Qiao Xi's hand lovingly. She knew the matter wasn't that simple. If it were really as Qiao Xi had said before, Meng Ran wouldn't have done these things.
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" If she had known earlier, she would rather pay the liquidated damages than let Qiao Xi suffer such grievances.
"It's all in the past. I'm fine now," Qiao Xi smiled. She just didn't want Wen Sining to worry about her.
"Forget it. I'll move in with you today," Wen Sining said. This way, it would be convenient for them to take care of each other.
Hearing this, Qiao Xi immediately waved her hand and refused. "No, no. I don't want to disrupt your relationship as a couple."
Wen Sining let out an "oh" sound, indicating that it didn't matter.
"But if you suddenly come to live with me, won't Lu Luochen be angry?" Qiao Xi asked. She was concerned about Lu Luochen's feelings.
Wen Sining shook her head. "I'll tell you the truth. Lu Luochen and I don't have a real husband - wife relationship. What you saw was just an act for show."
Just as Lu Luochen and Feng Jingcheng thought they had finished chatting and came in, they happened to hear this sentence.
Feng Jingcheng subconsciously looked at Lu Luochen. He saw Lu Luochen's face change, and then he turned around and left.
"Talk things out properly. Why are you leaving?" Feng Jingcheng tried to stop him.
"If you don't want my anger to be taken out on you, don't stop me," Lu Luochen said bluntly.
Feng Jingcheng immediately stopped in his tracks and let him leave. Then he turned around and walked towards Qiao Xi.
"You're back. Where's Lu Luochen?" Qiao Xi saw him alone.
"Lu Luochen had something to do and left first. He just..." Feng Jingcheng wanted to explain for him, but halfway through, he thought it was inappropriate. After all, this was a matter between the husband and wife.
"What's wrong?" Wen Sining picked up his words.
"Nothing. He just said he wanted me to take you home," Feng Jingcheng thought he was in a difficult situation, having to deal with both sides.
Wen Sining nodded.
Seeing that she didn't notice anything strange, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he drove them home.
After Wen Sining got home, she found that Lu Luochen's car was already parked there. When she entered the house, there was no one in the living room. She went to the bedroom on the second floor but still didn't see Lu Luochen. So she had to pack her luggage first and move to Qiao Xi's place the next morning.
She opened the closet and pulled out the suitcase from the bottom, packing a few clothes.
Lu Luochen came from the study. He had thought it through and decided not to argue with Wen Sining about what she had said just now. Although she thought this way now, he would work hard to get into her heart.
When he opened the bedroom door, he saw Wen Sining packing her luggage. The anger that had just subsided flared up again.
When Wen Sining saw him coming, she was just about to tell him that Qiao Xi was in a bad mood and she wanted to go and stay with her for a few days. But before she could say a word, Lu Luochen spoke first.
"What, so you're eager to move out of the house to find a new lover?" There was a hint of mockery in his tone.
The calm look on Wen Sining's face instantly changed. She didn't even have the desire to explain to him.
"Yes, I'm just going out to find a new lover. It's none of your business," Wen Sining said defiantly. She thought Lu Luochen was being unreasonable, always saying strange things. He was fine just now, but now she didn't know what had gotten into him.
Lu Luochen let out a cold snort and then slammed the door and left.
Wen Sining ignored him and continued packing her luggage on her own. After she finished, she pulled the suitcase downstairs.
Just as she reached the first floor, Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Xiao came in from outside. Seeing Wen Sining pulling the suitcase, they immediately asked, "Ningning, what are you doing?"
"Grandpa, I'm going on a business trip," Wen Sining didn't expect to meet Grandpa Lu here. She didn't tell him about the fight with Lu Luochen. If he knew, he would surely go after Lu Luochen.
Thinking of this, Wen Sining couldn't help but smile self - deprecatingly. Even at this moment, she was still thinking about Lu Luochen.
Grandpa Lu nodded. "How many days will you be gone?"
"I don't know yet. It depends on the situation there," Wen Sining also didn't know when she would come back.
"Is it your grandson who made Sining angry?" Grandpa Xiao joked.
"If you keep talking like this, don't stay at my place anymore," Grandpa Lu threatened.
Grandpa Xiao, under the "pressure", said to Wen Sining, "Sining, you can consider my grandson."
Wen Sining nodded with a smile. "Grandpas, if I don't leave now, I'll miss my flight." She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would reveal the truth.
"Go, go."
Only then did Wen Sining leave the Lu family mansion. She drove the car out, parked outside, and called Qiao Xi. As soon as the call was connected, she immediately said, "Xixi, I'm driving over now."
"Did Lu Luochen let you come?"
"Don't mention him," Wen Sining didn't want to hear his name at all now.
"What's wrong? Did you two fight?" Qiao Xi sensed something was wrong.
Wen Sining said she was driving and would talk about it when she got to Qiao Xi's place.
The two hung up the phone, and the car drove on the road. Soon it arrived at Qiao Xi's house.
When Qiao Xi opened the door and saw her with a suitcase, she said, "No way, are you running away from home?" Then she helped her carry the suitcase in.
"It depends on whether you'll take me in or not," Wen Sining said.
"Come on. Quickly tell me what happened between you two," Qiao Xi was very curious.
After sitting down, Wen Sining briefly told her about the conflict with Lu Luochen.
"I see. You can just stay at my place with peace of mind," Qiao Xi said.
In the following days, Wen Sining stayed at Qiao Xi's place all the time. When she had time, she would go to the coffee shop to check the progress of the renovation.
