Feng Jingcheng also found an excuse to come and help at the coffee shop.
The coffee shop was almost finished with its renovation and would soon open. On the opening day, Lu Luochen didn't show up, but it was still quite lively.
Wen Sining had been away from the Lu family mansion for some time. During this period, Grandpa Lu had called her more than once, but she had always declined on the pretext of being busy with work. And Lu Luochen hadn't taken the initiative to contact her either.
But this time, if Wen Sining used work as an excuse again when Grandpa Lu called, it would surely arouse his suspicion, so she had no choice but to agree.
Wen Sining deliberately delayed until afternoon. After saying hello to Qiao Xi, she reluctantly drove to the Lu family mansion.
After driving in, she took a special look around and didn't see Lu Luochen's car, so she felt relieved. She really didn't want to run into Lu Luochen.
After parking the car, she went inside. As soon as she entered, she found Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Xiao sitting there looking through photo albums.
Hearing the noise, the two grandpas looked up from the photo albums.
"Ningning, you're back," Grandpa Lu said.
Actually, the reason he called Wen Sining back was just to let her and Lu Luochen spend more time together to cultivate their feelings. After all, Lu Luochen had been on a long business trip. On the other hand, he was eager to have a grandson.
Wen Sining nodded. She walked over. Grandpa Lu didn't see her bringing any luggage, so he asked, "Where's your luggage?"
Wen Sining hadn't expected him to ask this, so she told a white lie. "My assistant took it back to the company for me."
Grandpa Lu nodded. "I've asked the kitchen to make some of your favorite dishes."
"I knew Grandpa was the best to me," Wen Sining said sweetly.
Hearing this, Grandpa Xiao was unhappy. "What about me? Am I not good to you?"
Seeing them bickering over such a small thing again, Wen Sining quickly said, "Grandpa Xiao is just as good."
"Come and take a look at Lu Luochen's childhood photos."
Wen Sining was a bit reluctant in her heart, but she still sat over.
"Look, this is when Lu Luochen was one year old. He was so tiny and couldn't even call me Grandpa yet." Grandpa Lu turned another page. "This is Lu Luochen's photo when he entered kindergarten. While other kids cried and refused to go to kindergarten, he would carry a small schoolbag every day and let the driver take him to school."
He kept flipping until he reached Lu Luochen's high - school graduation photo. As he looked, he told Wen Sining interesting stories about Lu Luochen's childhood.
Wen Sining didn't even notice that the corners of her calm mouth had curled up.
"You and Grandpa Xiao keep looking. I'll go outside and make a call," Grandpa Lu said as he put the photo album on Wen Sining's lap.
Wen Sining nodded.
After going outside, Grandpa Lu immediately called his grandson and told him to come back for dinner early today.
Lu Luochen had no choice but to agree.
The nanny had almost finished preparing the dishes when Lu Luochen drove back.
When he came in, he saw Wen Sining talking to Grandpa and was stunned for a moment. Then a look of disgust flashed across his eyes.
"Lu Luochen is back. Hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner," Grandpa Xiao said.
Wen Sining just felt that she had come back at a really bad time today and happened to run into Lu Luochen. If she had known this would happen, she should have refused.
But it seemed that Grandpa Lu didn't know that the two of them were in a cold war. On this matter, they were really surprisingly in sync.
Grandpa Lu deliberately made the two of them sit together. Lu Luochen said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You really stop at nothing."
Wen Sining just pretended not to hear and lowered her head to continue eating the food in her bowl.
Grandpa Lu looked at his grandson with dissatisfaction and couldn't help saying, "Why are you just eating by yourself? Pick some food for Ningning. You're so oblivious."
"No need, Grandpa. I'll pick the food I want myself," Wen Sining didn't want to eat the food he picked for her at all.
Lu Luochen was quite happy about this.
The meal ended in this strange atmosphere. To be precise, the atmosphere between Lu Luochen and Wen Sining was rather strange.
Just as she sat down, Wen Sining received a message. She opened her phone and saw that it was from Lu Xuan.
[Ms. Wen, do you have time tonight? I have something to talk to you about.]
[What's it about?] Wen Sining replied.
[Isn't the drama we're collaborating on starting filming tomorrow? I just have some free time tonight and want to talk to you about it.]
Wen Sining originally wanted to refuse, but then thought that she was not very comfortable staying here. This could be a good excuse, so she agreed.
Lu Xuan sent her the meeting place. After receiving it, Wen Sining said to Grandpa Lu, "Grandpa, I've made an appointment to talk about something, so I'll leave first." Then she got up and prepared to leave.
"Let Lu Luochen take you. He's just sitting around doing nothing anyway," Grandpa Lu patted the person sitting next to him.
Wen Sining was just about to refuse, but Lu Luochen had already agreed first.
The reason he agreed was just to see who would still make an appointment with her so late.
Just like this, Lu Luochen took Wen Sining to the restaurant.
On the way, neither of them said a word. The air was so quiet that it was scary. Fortunately, the place Lu Xuan chose wasn't far from here, and they arrived soon.
As soon as the car stopped, Wen Sining got out as fast as she could. She felt that it was too depressing to be with him.
After Wen Sining got out, Lu Luochen somehow didn't leave. Instead, he sat in the car and watched her go in.
Wen Sining didn't see Lu Xuan. She lowered her head and was about to send him a message when a voice rang in her ear. "I'm here."
It scared Wen Sining. "Sorry to scare you. Let's go over there," the voice said.
Wen Sining nodded. This restaurant was semi - transparent, and people outside could clearly see what was going on inside.
Lu Xuan had seen Wen Sining getting out of Lu Luochen's car when he was sitting there, so he deliberately went to pick her up.
"Have a seat," he said as he thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Wen Sining and then sat down opposite her.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Just boiled water, please." She had just finished dinner and didn't want to drink anything now.
Lu Xuan nodded and called the waiter to get Wen Sining a glass of boiled water.
All these scenes fell into Lu Luochen's eyes. Seeing the intimate behavior of the two in the restaurant, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. At the same time, he was very angry at Wen Sining's behavior.
His reaction was just due to the angle. In fact, there was really nothing going on between Wen Sining and Lu Xuan.
Before he knew it, he had already gotten out of the car. He walked into the restaurant and directly interrupted the conversation between the two.
Wen Sining looked up at him and was very dissatisfied with his aggressive behavior. "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Lu Luochen snorted. "So if I leave, it won't affect your 'work'?" He deliberately emphasized the word "work" as if it were a silent mockery.
Wen Sining was too lazy to pay attention to him.
