Lu Luochen shook his head and said bluntly, "I'm Lu Luochen from the Lu Group." He directly revealed his identity. It was the first time he had ever been stopped like this.
The receptionist looked at the man in front of her. He did give off an extraordinary aura, but she still had her doubts. She silently picked up her phone and typed in "Lu Group". All the relevant information immediately popped up on the screen. After seeing the photo, she was finally convinced that the man in front of her was the president of the Lu Group.
"I'll make a call upstairs now," she said. Then she picked up the landline and called Wen Sining's assistant.
"President Lu from the Lu Group is here to see President Wen. Should I let him up?"
The receptionist responded with an affirmative sound and hung up the phone. She apologized to Lu Luochen with a look of regret on her face. "President Wen isn't in the company."
"Really not?" Lu Luochen was skeptical. Could it be that she just didn't want to see him and was making up an excuse?
The receptionist nodded firmly.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Lu Luochen left.
Jin Yihao, who was sitting in the car, saw his boss come out so soon. Looking at the slightly disappointed expression on his face, he knew that Lu Luochen hadn't seen Wen Sining.
After Lu Luochen got into the car, Jin Yihao asked, "President Lu, where shall we go now?"
Lu Luochen looked out of the window and replied, "Go to the neighborhood where Wen Sining lives." There was no way she would go back to the Lu family mansion.
The car started and soon arrived at the neighborhood where Wen Sining lived. Lu Luochen went up alone again. He came to Wen Sining's floor and knocked on the door. There was no response. After a while, he knocked again, but still got no answer. He didn't have the key to Wen Sining's place.
Wen Sining's door remained closed, but the neighbor across the hall opened their door. The owner was about to take out the trash. Seeing Lu Luochen standing in front of Wen Sining's door, the neighbor said, "Don't knock anymore. Miss Wen went out early this morning."
There were only two households on each floor. Lu Luochen thanked the neighbor after hearing this.
She wasn't at the company or at home. Right, Qiao Xi. Maybe Wen Sining was there.
Thinking this way, Lu Luochen quickly rushed downstairs. Jin Yihao knew what had happened when he saw Lu Luochen come out alone again.
As soon as Lu Luochen got into the car, he said to Jin Yihao, "Go to Qiao Xi's coffee shop."
The coffee shop wasn't far from here. They arrived in about half an hour.
When Qiao Xi saw Lu Luochen, she got extremely angry. She was just about to say something when Lu Luochen spoke first.
"Is Wen Sining here with you?"
Qiao Xi snorted coldly. "You still have the nerve to look for Wen Sining. Why didn't you think about her when you were having fun with someone else yesterday?" She was so angry that she wished she could beat Lu Luochen up right away and then drag him in front of Wen Sining to apologize.
Lu Luochen knew he was wrong in this matter. It was reasonable for Qiao Xi to be angry. "Things aren't what you think."
"Do you think what you're saying now is useful? If it's not what I think, then what is it? I didn't want to see those photos either. I saw them clearly, and I've even had someone authenticate them. They aren't photoshopped." Qiao Xi accused his behavior.
Lu Luochen didn't know how to explain this to her. Moreover, he himself wasn't sure if he had had any improper relationship with Yun Chuchu.
"I'll explain this matter clearly to you. But tell me, is Wen Sining really here with you?" Lu Luochen was only concerned about Wen Sining's whereabouts for now. He could deal with other things later.
"No. Wen Sining went to work. What are you looking for her here for?" Qiao Xi said irritably. She actually wanted Wen Sining to come over.
"I've already been to her company and her home, but I couldn't find her. Is she really not here with you?" Lu Luochen asked suspiciously. He really didn't know where else to look for her.
"I've said no. You'd better find her. I don't care who you are. If anything happens to Wen Sining, I won't let you off," Qiao Xi said.
Lu Luochen knew she wasn't lying. It seemed that Wen Sining really wasn't here. "I'll go look elsewhere." After saying that, he turned around and left directly.
Hearing what he said, Qiao Xi also started to worry about Wen Sining, but she wouldn't help him look for her.
At this moment, Wen Sining was sitting in the audience watching Xiao Zhan perform on the stage. To be honest, the performance was really good.
Soon, the performance ended. Wen Sining and the staff in the audience applauded for him.
"Thank you all," Xiao Zhan said.
He came down from the stage and walked over to Wen Sining. "How was it?"
"I think our cheers just now said it all," Wen Sining replied.
Xiao Zhan nodded.
Before they knew it, it was almost noon. Xiao Zhan suggested that they go out for lunch.
Wen Sining agreed.
The two of them went directly to a nearby restaurant and casually ordered a few dishes. Xiao Zhan was sensible enough not to bring up what had happened. However, seeing Wen Sining acting as if nothing had happened, he was a bit worried.
Wen Sining seemed to notice his gaze. "Why are you staring at me all the time?"
Xiao Zhan smiled. "There's something on your face."
"Really?" Wen Sining took out her phone to check and found that Xiao Zhan was lying to her. She silently gave him a glare.
"Let's eat quickly," he said as he pushed the dishes towards her.
Wen Sining nodded.
After lunch, Xiao Zhan had to go back to work. Since Wen Sining didn't want to go back home and she was more likely to overthink when she was alone, she decided to accompany him.
After leaving the coffee shop, Lu Luochen dialed Wen Sining's phone number again, but there was still no answer. He didn't know if she was doing it on purpose or if there was really something else going on.
He had already searched all the places he could think of. Now he didn't know where else to look.
"Take me to Wen Sining's apartment building," Lu Luochen said, pressing his hand against his throbbing temple. Although he knew it was unlikely that she would go back, he still hoped that he might get lucky and find her.
Jin Yihao responded and drove the car back. Lu Luochen leaned against the car window, lost in thought.
Before he knew it, the car stopped in front of Wen Sining's apartment building.
After getting out of the car, he said to Jin Yihao, "You guys can leave the car here and go back first."
"President Lu, do you want to eat something?" It was already lunchtime.
"No. You guys go."
He had no appetite at all. He still hadn't found Wen Sining, so how could he explain things to her?
Seeing his state, Jin Yihao didn't say anything else. He left the place with the driver.
After they left, Lu Luochen was left alone. He decided to wait here. Wen Sining would definitely come back.
He looked at his phone. Up until now, Wen Sining hadn't called him once. It was impossible for him not to feel sad. He let out a helpless sigh.
