Chapter 277: Loss

"Forget it. I won't argue with you since you're sick," Lu Luochen said helplessly. He really had no way to deal with Wen Sining.

Wen Sining smiled at him.

"By the way, Jiang Nanhang sent me a message just now saying that it's Youyou's birthday tomorrow. He invited us to attend," Lu Luochen told Wen Sining about this.

"I didn't know Youyou's birthday is on the same day as Chinese New Year's Eve," Wen Sining said.

Lu Luochen nodded.

"Let's go to the downtown area early tomorrow to buy her a gift," Wen Sining said, thinking about what she should give her.

Lu Luochen naturally had no problem with this.

Before going to bed at night, Lu Luochen applied medicine to Wen Sining again.

The next day, many of the rashes on Wen Sining's body had subsided. Thinking they were going to the downtown area, they greeted Grandpa Lu after breakfast before going out.

"Have you decided what to give Youyou?" Lu Luochen turned to ask Wen Sining while waiting at a red light.

Wen Sining thought for a while and said, "Youyou likes playing with figurines. I want to give her Chanel's Pop Mart figurines."

Lu Luochen nodded. He drove directly to the largest shopping mall in Yuncheng. After parking the car, the two went straight to the Chanel counter.

Since Lu Luochen had informed them in advance, the store manager came out to receive them as soon as they arrived.

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu."

They were led to the VIP lounge, and the clerk brought them some desserts.

The store manager brought over the figurines. There were eight in total. The others needed to be transferred from other stores, but obviously, it was too late. "Mr. Lu, these are the Pop Mart figurines you wanted."

Lu Luochen looked at Wen Sining, who said to them, "Can you wrap them up for us?" Since this was a gift they were going to give someone.

"Sure, Mrs. Lu."

Wen Sining nodded. She took a bite of the dessert the clerk had brought. It tasted really good. After sitting for a while longer, Wen Sining got up and went to the restroom.

"Do you need me to go with you?" He said this deliberately.

Sure enough, after he said this, Wen Sining, who had already stood up, gave him a look.

Lu Luochen smiled silently. He lay on the sofa. A message notification sound came from beside him. He felt for his phone but found there was no message. He glanced to the side and saw it was Wen Sining's phone. He originally didn't plan to look, but the phone lit up again. He took a glance, and just as he was about to look away, he saw a familiar name.

"Lu Xuan." This made him recall what had happened last night.

Before his mind could react, his hand had already picked up the phone lying on the table.

Driven by jealousy, he opened Wen Sining's phone and found there was no password. He directly clicked on the chat box and saw the message Lu Xuan had sent.

[Ms. Wen, the matter has been resolved. Thank you for your trouble.]

After seeing this message, Lu Luochen scrolled up the chat history and found they were talking about work. But he still felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that Lu Xuan had ill intentions towards Wen Sining.

He moved his finger and directly blocked Lu Xuan. Then he put down the phone but felt he had missed something. Seeing Wen Sining hadn't come back yet, he picked up the phone again, opened the contact list, scrolled down to find Lu Xuan's name, and directly blocked his number.

Now it would be much more difficult for Lu Xuan to contact Wen Sining. After doing all this, Lu Luochen finally put down the phone with confidence.

Just as he put it down, Wen Sining came back from the restroom, and the store manager also came over with the wrapped gift.

Wen Sining took it and politely said thank you.

"Let's go," she said, looking at Lu Luochen, who was still sitting on the sofa.

The two walked out of the shopping mall. Youyou's birthday party was going to start at five o'clock. The two wandered around outside for a while. It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The two wandered around for a while longer before driving back.

After they got back, Lu Luochen parked the car at home and then went to Youyou's house with Wen Sining. It was only a ten - minute drive.

When they arrived, Youyou was playing with some kids.

Jiang Nanxu called her, "Youyou, look who's here."

Hearing the voice, Youyou turned around. Seeing it was Wen Sining, she immediately put down the toy in her hand and ran towards Wen Sining.

"Auntie."

Wen Sining responded and waved the gift in her hand.

"Wow, thank you, Auntie," Youyou said to Wen Sining.

"You're welcome. Do you like it?"

Youyou nodded vigorously and looked at the doll in the gift box.

"I'm glad you like it," Wen Sining smiled.

"Okay, let Mom hold the gift for you. Go play with the kids," Jiang Nanxu said.

Youyou softly said okay and ran to the side.

As soon as Lu Luochen arrived, he was pulled aside by Jiang Nanhang to chat.

Wen Sining sat down with Jiang Nanxu. She sipped the coffee in her cup and watched the kids playing in front of her. It wasn't boring at all.

After sitting with Wen Sining for a while, Jiang Nanxu went to receive other guests.

Wen Sining sat there alone. The voices of Lu Luochen and Jiang Nanhang's conversation came over.

Jiang Nanhang took a sip of tea and then said to Lu Luochen, "To be honest, I'm a bit envious of you."

"Envious of what?" Lu Luochen was puzzled.

"You got married early. Unlike me, I'm always being urged by your Aunt Jiang. Sometimes I even think about just finding someone to marry randomly." This matter had always troubled Jiang Nanhang.

Her words made Lu Luochen recall that he and Wen Sining had been married for more than half a year, but they still hadn't consummated their marriage.

"There's nothing to be envious of. Although we lie in the same bed, we haven't done anything that a normal couple would do," he said with a bitter smile.

Jiang Nanhang understood what he meant. To be honest, he really hadn't expected this. "So how do you feel about Wen Sining now?"

"I can't really put it into words. I always feel that Wen Sining doesn't have me in her heart." Although their relationship seemed good, Lu Luochen always had a sense of unease.

Jiang Nanhang comforted him, "It'll get better with time."

Lu Luochen nodded, and the two changed the topic.

Wen Sining heard every word they said. So this was how she was in Lu Luochen's heart. It was really ridiculous. She felt a bit lost. He said she didn't have him in her heart, but what about him? Did he have her in his heart?

Wen Sining closed her eyes.

"Auntie," Youyou's voice sounded, pulling her out of her thoughts.

Wen Sining took a deep breath and looked at her. "What's up?" Even if she was in a bad mood, she couldn't let this emotion affect the child. After all, it was still her birthday today.
