After Wensi Ning accompanied Xiao Zhan to finish his work, they went out for a meal.
"Are you feeling better now?" Xiao Zhan asked tentatively.
"You didn't really ask me to come here for guidance today. You actually wanted to keep me company," Wensi Ning finally realized, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Xiao Zhan nodded. After all, it would be hard for anyone to accept such a thing.
Afraid that Wensi Ning might misunderstand his intention, he quickly explained, "I'm here as a friend to accompany you. Don't misunderstand me."
Wensi Ning punched him and said, "What are you thinking?"
Xiao Zhan gave a silly laugh. Looking at the man in front of her, Wensi Ning felt that sometimes he was just like a big boy, straightforward in his actions and without any bad intentions.
"Let's go. I'll take you home," Xiao Zhan said.
"I drove here myself." Just as she was about to say she didn't need his ride, Xiao Zhan said, "I know. I'll feel relieved only when I see you get home safely."
"Okay, let's go then." Wensi Ning didn't act coy.
Just like that, Xiao Zhan sent Wensi Ning home.
Meanwhile, Lu Luochen had been waiting downstairs of Wensi Ning's house. As it was getting late and he hadn't eaten for a whole day, he didn't even feel hungry, not even a bit.
He looked at his watch. It was already six o'clock. Why wasn't she back yet? Just as he was thinking, a white car drove in.
He lowered his eyes again. In the past few hours, he had lost count of how many cars had driven in and out, but he still hadn't seen Wensi Ning's.
The white car stopped not far from him, and Wensi Ning and Xiao Zhan got out.
"Do you want to come up for a while?" Wensi Ning pointed upwards. After all, he had sent her home.
Xiao Zhan shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Wensi Ning's gaze shifting to the side. He followed her gaze.
"Isn't that Lu Luochen?"
Wensi Ning nodded. She was about to look away and pretend not to see him when Lu Luochen suddenly looked over. Their eyes met for a moment, then Wensi Ning averted her gaze.
Seeing the person he had been waiting for finally appear, Lu Luochen immediately strode towards them. When he got closer, his eyes were fixed on Wensi Ning as if nothing else around him existed.
"Where did you go? Do you know I was worried about you? I called you but you didn't answer," Lu Luochen said. At that moment, seeing Wensi Ning and Xiao Zhan appear in front of him at the same time, he felt a bit angry.
Thinking of what had happened on the internet and the deliberate provocation from the supporting actress, Wensi Ning immediately grabbed Xiao Zhan's hand and said, "Mr. Lu, it's not your place to interfere in my affairs. You might as well spend some time with the person you should be with."
She actually called him Mr. Lu. This form of address clearly distanced them from each other.
Xiao Zhan was startled by Wensi Ning's action. He didn't want to get involved in their dispute. Wensi Ning just winked at him, and he immediately understood. He tightened his grip on Wensi Ning's hand and met Lu Luochen's gaze fearlessly.
Looking at their intertwined hands, Lu Luochen felt it was extremely ironic. So they had been out together. Looking at the expression on Wensi Ning's face, he found no sign of sadness because of him. It seemed that what had happened to him hadn't affected her at all.
"If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Lu, please step aside," Wensi Ning said as she pulled Xiao Zhan's hand and prepared to move forward, looking at the man blocking their way.
"What if I don't?" With that, Lu Luochen deliberately took a step forward, getting closer to them.
Wensi Ning curled her lips, pulled Xiao Zhan and tried to bypass him. But Lu Luochen seemed to have guessed her intention and blocked her way ahead of time.
"What do you mean?" Wensi Ning was puzzled by his behavior.
"Wensi Ning, don't forget that we're still married. Do you think what you're doing is appropriate?" he said.
Wensi Ning burst into laughter as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Thanks to you, Mr. Lu, I just remembered." Looking at Lu Luochen, she continued, "I don't think our marriage needs to go on. I'll ask my assistant to send the divorce agreement to your email tomorrow."
Not only Lu Luochen but also Xiao Zhan, who was being held by her, was shocked by her words.
Xiao Zhan looked at Wensi Ning in surprise. He had thought they were just acting, but he never expected her to go so far as to bring up divorce so easily.
"Divorce. How could you say such a thing? I'm telling you, I'll never agree to a divorce no matter what," Lu Luochen almost roared.
"Lu Luochen, do you still want me to stay by your side? I'm not that magnanimous. I can't bear to watch you sleep with other women outside and then act with me when you get home. I'm tired."
"I didn't. Things aren't what you think," Lu Luochen wanted to explain his actions but didn't know what to say.
Wensi Ning didn't want to waste any more time with him. She just pulled Xiao Zhan forward, ignoring Lu Luochen's emotions. She walked straight into the stairwell until Lu Luochen was out of sight. Only then did Wensi Ning heave a sigh of relief.
She let go of Xiao Zhan's hand and took a deep breath. God knows how much courage it had taken her to say those words just now. Now she felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she leaned weakly against the wall.
Xiao Zhan felt sorry for her. He reached out to help her, but Wensi Ning dodged before his hand could touch her.
"I'm fine."
Xiao Zhan had to withdraw his hand awkwardly. "What you said to Lu Luochen just now. Were you being a bit impulsive?"
Wensi Ning shook her head. "Divorce is the best choice for us now."
Xiao Zhan had never experienced what Wensi Ning had gone through, so he couldn't persuade her not to divorce. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you've made up your mind, I'll support your choice."
Wensi Ning nodded.
Outside, Lu Luochen watched their departing backs with a heavy heart. He leaned against his car and stared up at the window of Wensi Ning's room.
To be honest, when Wensi Ning brought up divorce just now, he felt a bit flustered. Although they hadn't had a real relationship, he still felt a bit reluctant to part with her. Maybe he had gotten used to living with Wensi Ning.
After calming down for a while, Wensi Ning said, "Let's go up."
Xiao Zhan nodded. He was worried about leaving her in this state.
Downstairs, Lu Luochen watched the light in Wensi Ning's room come on. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
