"I'll take Youyou home after the New Year here," Jiang Nanxu said.
"Going home?" Wen Sining was quite puzzled.
Jiang Nanxu nodded. As if seeing her doubt, she explained, "Youyou's dad is busy with work, so I took Youyou here to celebrate the New Year. Now that he's done with his work, I'm taking Youyou back."
Wen Sining then nodded in understanding. So that's how it was.
Jiang Nanxu looked down at the time. If they didn't leave now, it would be too late. So she looked down at her daughter and said, "Say goodbye to auntie."
Youyou immediately waved her chubby little hand at Wen Sining and said, "Goodbye, auntie."
"Goodbye, Youyou."
Before getting in the car, Youyou ran over and gave Wen Sining a hug.
After seeing them off, Wen Sining returned to the room.
She was in an indescribable mood. She calculated the time. It was probably about ten days until the 15th. She let out a silent sigh, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a familiar ringing sound woke her up again.
Wen Sining groped for her phone beside her, looked at the caller ID, and found it was Qiao Xi calling. She answered the call.
"Hey, Xixi. Happy New Year!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi's tearful voice came from the other end, "Hey, Ningning."
"What's wrong with you?" Wen Sining immediately sat up from the bed. "I'll call you on video."
After saying that, she hung up the phone and directly made a video call to Qiao Xi. The other end answered quickly, and Qiao Xi's face appeared on the phone screen. Her eyes were red, obviously having cried.
"What on earth happened? Are you alone?" Wen Sining asked. If she were in Jiangcheng now, she would definitely drive there.
Qiao Xi wiped her tears with a tissue and choked out, "Feng Jingcheng... he has a new lover outside." The more she said, the sadder she felt.
Her words reminded Wen Sining of what she saw when Lu Luochen picked her up for work. Then it was delayed because of the matter of coming here for the New Year.
"I saw him pulling a woman outside the coffee shop last time," Qiao Xi recalled the previous incident and felt very sad. They had just gotten together, and he had done such a thing. It was really heartbreaking for her.
"Okay, okay. Don't think about those things for now. I'll book a plane ticket later and go back tomorrow. You mustn't do anything stupid. It's not worth it for a man," Wen Sining said. She was really worried about Qiao Xi's current state.
"Okay," Qiao Xi replied.
"No matter what happens, wait for me to come back and then we'll talk about it. Do you understand?" Wen Sining said.
Qiao Xi agreed. Then she thought that it was only the first day of the lunar year. Wen Sining had come here specially for the New Year. It seemed not good to let her come back.
"Ningning, isn't it a bit early for you to come back at this time? It's okay for me. I'll feel better after being sad for a while."
How could Wen Sining be at ease with her? "It's okay. Well, don't think too much." Anyway, she also wanted to go back. It was just an opportunity to leave.
Wen Sining comforted her a few more words before hanging up the phone. She put the phone aside, got out of bed, opened the wardrobe, and started packing her luggage.
When she was halfway through packing, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Lu Luochen was very unhappy when he saw this scene. He directly asked, "What are you doing?" His tone was not very good.
"I'm going back tomorrow," Wen Sining said.
Hearing this, Lu Luochen's face darkened. "Why are you going back so early?"
"I have some things to deal with when I get back," Wen Sining said, squatting on the ground to pack her clothes and put them into the suitcase.
Her words made Lu Luochen think of Lu Xuan. Was she going back to see him? He was just about to ask, but then he remembered that Wen Sining didn't know that he had secretly looked at her phone, so he swallowed the words back and asked in another way, "Is it work-related?"
Wen Sining shook her head. "No."
Wen Sining thought for a while and still felt it was better to tell Lu Luochen about this. Thinking like this, she put down the clothes in her hand, stood up, and looked at him.
"Do you still remember that when we saw Feng Jingcheng last time, he was with a woman?"
Lu Luochen thought for a moment and nodded. He had almost forgotten about this because he had been busy with the New Year's affairs recently.
"What's up?"
"Xixi knows about this. She's in a very bad state now. I'm very worried about her emotions," Wen Sining said. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to go back.
Lu Luochen nodded. As long as the reason for her going back had nothing to do with Lu Xuan, he felt relieved.
"I'll go back with you tomorrow," Lu Luochen said.
Wen Sining didn't expect him to say so. "If both of us go back, Grandpa will be left alone here."
She bit her lip. They had come here together for the New Year, but now it was like this.
"It's okay. I'll go and tell him later," Lu Luochen didn't think too much about it.
"Okay then," Wen Sining said and continued to pack the things in her hand.
Lu Luochen took a look and was about to leave. Just as he took a step, he seemed to remember something. He turned around and said to her, "By the way, have you booked the plane ticket?"
"I haven't had time yet," she had planned to book it after packing her luggage.
"I'll book it later," Lu Luochen said.
Wen Sining replied. Then Lu Luochen went out. As soon as he walked outside, he saw his grandpa. He stepped forward and said to him, "Grandpa, Wen Sining and I have to go back to deal with something. We'll book the plane ticket for tomorrow."
Grandpa Lu nodded after hearing this. He also understood. "If you can't solve it, call me again."
Lu Luochen responded. Then he booked the earliest flight for tomorrow.
The next day, the two of them took their luggage and rushed to the airport. They were sitting in the back seat. Wen Sining looked out of the car window. Thinking of seeing Feng Jingcheng with a woman on his arm before, she couldn't help asking, "Are you really sure you don't know the woman beside Feng Jingcheng?"
They were as close as brothers. How could there be someone he didn't know? Could it be that he was lying to her?
Looking at Wen Sining's suspicious eyes, Lu Luochen looked innocent. "I really don't know who that girl is. If you hadn't mentioned it yesterday, I would have forgotten about this."
Although he said so, Wen Sining still didn't quite believe him.
"If you really don't believe me, I'll call Feng Jingcheng right now," saying that, he was about to take out his phone from his pocket.
Wen Sining immediately stopped him.
