When Wen Sining returned to Yuncheng, it was already twelve noon. After getting off the plane, she took a taxi straight back to her apartment. She didn't plan to go to the company today.
She took out her key, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it, only to find that it wouldn't turn at all. She took another look and confirmed that she was indeed at her own door, but the door still wouldn't open.
She took out the key again. Just as she was about to call a locksmith to open the lock first and then find out who was so idle as to change the lock of her house, she looked down and rummaged through her bag for her phone. Just as she was about to make the call, she noticed a piece of paper sticking out from the bottom of the door. Out of curiosity, she squatted down, pulled out the paper, and opened it. There were a few words written on it: I've changed the lock of your house. The key is with me. If you want it, come and get it. The signature was Lu Luochen.
When she saw this note, she was extremely angry. How could Lu Luochen change the lock without saying a word? She sat on her suitcase and angrily called Lu Luochen.
As soon as the call was connected, Wen Sining questioned, "Lu Luochen, why did you change the lock of my house!"
"You're back!" Lu Luochen said in surprise, directly ignoring what Wen Sining had said.
"Don't beat around the bush. First, explain to me why you changed the lock of my house!" Wen Sining was really angry. She just couldn't understand Lu Luochen's behavior.
Lu Luochen then explained what had happened when he went to her house to look for her that day.
Only then did Wen Sining understand. At that time, she wasn't angry with Lu Luochen. She just thought the things he said were a bit strange, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable. More than anything, she just wanted to escape.
"Do you want to come and get the key?" Lu Luochen asked. There was a hint of hesitation in his tone because he wasn't sure if Wen Sining would come.
"I'm not going to come." She would rather call a locksmith than go to Lu Luochen to get the key.
"Are you angry?" Lu Luochen could tell that something was off from Wen Sining's words.
"No. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore." After saying that, Wen Sining hung up the phone directly.
Looking at the disconnected call, Lu Luochen really wanted to go and find Wen Sining. But he had a meeting to attend soon and it couldn't be postponed. There was nothing he could do. He could only wait until after the meeting to go and coax her and return the key to her.
Wen Sining then called a locksmith again. The locksmith came very quickly. After opening the door, she went in and changed the lock by the way. So what if Lu Luochen had changed the lock? She could still open it, Wen Sining thought to herself secretly.
After seeing off the locksmith, she just threw her luggage aside. She was really tired after the business trip. She just threw herself onto the big bed and lay there for a while. She didn't want to unpack her luggage for now.
After lying there for a while, Wen Sining felt hungry. So she got up to prepare something to eat.
She didn't want to cook by herself, so she decided to eat out. She went directly to the underground garage, drove her car to a restaurant she often went to.
Since she was alone, she just found a seat by the window and sat down.
While waiting for her food, she heard a familiar and long - lost voice. The voice made her turn her head. After seeing the person, she involuntarily called out the person's name, "Jing Anyu."
The man who was chatting with the person opposite him looked over after hearing someone call his name. After seeing that it was Wen Sining, a flash of surprise was clearly visible in his eyes, "Wen Sining."
Hearing the other person call her name, Wen Sining was sure that it was really him. "Jing Anyu, when did you come back?"
"I just returned to China not long ago." After saying that, Jing Anyu said a word of excuse to the person opposite him, then sat down opposite Wen Sining.
"You've been abroad for more than a decade. I really didn't expect that we would meet here." Wen Sining couldn't help but sigh.
She and Jing Anyu were neighbors. He was two years older than her. When she was a child, she often clung to him, always calling him "brother, brother". No matter where Jing Anyu went, she would follow him. At that time, the two families even joked that Wen Sining should marry Jing Anyu when she grew up. Wen Sining was still young then and she agreed, sweetly saying to him, "Brother Anyu, I want to marry you."
At that time, Jing Anyu just said a simple "okay". Thinking about it now, it was really innocent childhood talk. They dared to say anything.
Jing Anyu gave a soft "hmm". "When I was abroad, I heard about the accident in your family. I originally planned to come back to see you, but I was in the middle of a project and couldn't leave." There was a hint of apology in his words. He never expected that such an accident would happen to Wen Sining's parents.
But Wen Sining didn't care about these things anymore. Even if he had come back, it wouldn't have changed anything. Her parents weren't coming back. Fortunately, she had managed to get through it.
"It's okay. When are you planning to leave this time you're back in China?" Wen Sining asked.
"I'm not leaving this time I'm back." Jing Anyu replied.
"You're planning to develop your career in China." Wen Sining really didn't expect this.
Jing Anyu gave another "hmm". Only the branch of their company was in China. The headquarters was still abroad. He was now gradually starting to accept the idea of moving the company's focus to China.
"I heard that you're already married." Jing Anyu asked.
Wen Sining nodded. Then a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The relationship between her and Lu Luochen had become so complicated. Although she already knew that the child in Yun Chuchu's belly wasn't his, she really couldn't tolerate what Lu Luochen had done, especially when it came to Yun Chutong.
The reason why she had agreed to marry Lu Luochen at that time was because of Grandpa Lu. Since her parents had left, Grandpa Lu was the first person who made her feel warm. Without realizing it, she had already regarded him as a family member.
Jing Anyu had heard his parents mention this when he was abroad. He didn't expect it to be true. He had thought that Wen Sining had some feelings for him, after all, they were childhood sweethearts.
"Since you're back in China, we'll see each other more often in the future." Wen Sining said.
Jing Anyu nodded. "Yeah. After all these years, I still find that it's better in China."
Wen Sining smiled. She remembered that she had been really sad for a while when she found out that Jing Anyu was going abroad to study.
"By the way, do you want to go and take a look at our junior high school later?" Jing Anyu suggested.
Wen Sining naturally had no objection. Although she had always been in Yuncheng, she hadn't been back to the school since she graduated from junior high school.
