Jing Anyu escorted Wen Sining over. "Don't misunderstand what Uncle He said," he thought it necessary to explain.
Wen Sining shook her head. "It's okay."
Seeing that she didn't seem to care much, Jing Anyu felt relieved. Nominally a birthday party, most of the people here were actually looking for business cooperation.
"Mr. Jing, I heard you just returned to the country," a man in his thirties came over to greet Jing Anyu.
"Mr. Yang," Jing Anyu raised his glass.
Mr. Yang looked at Wen Sining beside him. "Isn't this Ms. Wen from Moxin Group?"
Wen Sining nodded at him as a greeting. She rarely attended such events and usually kept a low - profile. Only recently, since Donna went abroad, had she started handling company affairs.
"I heard you just got back. Are you planning to develop in the country now?" This was directed at Jing Anyu.
"After staying abroad for so long, I still think the country is better. It's like a fallen leaf returning to its roots," Jing Anyu said with a smile.
"Then there'll be a chance for cooperation in the future."
"Definitely." With that, they clinked their glasses and took a symbolic sip of wine.
"Are you tired?" Jing Anyu turned to ask the person beside him, thinking that wearing high - heels and accompanying him might make her uncomfortable.
Wen Sining shook her head. "Not really."
"If you're tired, you can take a break over there. Don't push yourself," Jing Anyu's tone was full of concern.
"Okay."
Feng Jingcheng tugged at Lu Luochen's arm and pointed in Wen Sining's direction. "Damn, look, isn't that Wen Sining?"
Lu Luochen glanced. "I know." As soon as he entered the venue, he saw Wen Sining with that man. Last night, she kept saying they were just friends. Now, here she was, accompanying him to the party. It was truly ridiculous.
"Why are you so calm? She's your wife! You're just watching her accompany another man to the party, and her hand is on his arm!" Feng Jingcheng was a bit excited.
The hand with which Lu Luochen was holding the glass turned white at the knuckles from the force, indicating that his mood was very bad.
Suddenly, he turned around and left. Feng Jingcheng was still talking to him. "Who is that man? Do you know him?" He turned around and only then found that Lu Luochen was no longer beside him. Looking further back, he saw that Lu Luochen was already far away and immediately chased after him.
"Lu Luochen, are you going the wrong way? Wen Sining is over there." Lu Luochen ignored him.
Feng Jingcheng continued to chatter in his ear. "You're not running away, are you? This doesn't seem like your style."
Lu Luochen stopped and coldly said to him, "Shut up."
Having known him for so many years, Feng Jingcheng realized that this was a sign of Lu Luochen's anger. He immediately shut his mouth. "Call me when you go back." After saying that, he left as if fleeing. In fact, he didn't really want to attend this kind of party. It was just that his old man forced him to come, and since Lu Luochen was also coming, he tagged along.
Thinking of the sight of Wen Sining with that man just now, Lu Luochen found it extremely glaring. He realized that he was increasingly unable to understand Wen Sining. Maybe he had never understood her from the very beginning and had never entered her heart.
Thinking of this, a self - mocking smile appeared on his lips. He thought he was truly ridiculous now. He had been reluctant to marry her back then. If it weren't for his grandfather's repeated coercion, now he found that he had unknowingly fallen for her.
When Wen Sining smiled at that man just now, he realized that she rarely showed a genuine smile to him. This made him think that Wen Sining and that man were definitely more than just friends.
Lu Luochen gulped down the wine in his glass. He left the banquet hall and came to a small balcony. Although it was already warm spring, there was still a slight chill in the wind, which sobered him up a lot.
"I'll go to the restroom first," Wen Sining said.
"Go ahead."
Wen Sining lifted her skirt and asked a waiter where the restroom was. The waiter pointed to one side, and she walked over.
When she came out of the restroom, without looking in the mirror, she heard a woman beside her say, "Did you see Lu Luochen just now?"
"Yes, you know what? This is the first time I've seen him in person. He's much more handsome than in the magazines," the other woman said.
"I didn't even have the courage to go up and strike up a conversation."
"Me neither."
"Let's go."
Lu Luochen was also here. Wen Sining couldn't help but think that he rarely attended parties, except for those he couldn't decline. Oh well, it didn't matter that he was here.
After washing her hands, Wen Sining came out of the restroom. She had just taken a step when someone grabbed her arm. She instinctively let out a cry, but before the sound could come out, her mouth was covered.
"It's me," after hearing that familiar voice, the uneasiness in Wen Sining's heart finally subsided.
Lu Luochen then let go of her. He had just been about to return to the banquet hall when he saw Wen Sining, which led to what had just happened.
"What are you doing?" Wen Sining asked, looking at him under the dim light.
"Didn't you say you were just friends with him? Why are you accompanying him to the party now? Where do you put me?" Lu Luochen blurted out all his thoughts.
"I told you last night. He's just my friend who grew up with me. He just asked me to accompany him to the party today," Wen Sining explained briefly.
But just thinking about the way they were arm - in - arm just now, Lu Luochen felt uncomfortable. He snorted. "So you're childhood sweethearts. Then I'm the one who's intruding on your relationship," he said mockingly.
Wen Sining didn't know what he was being sarcastic about. "Think whatever you want," she said, and then lifted her skirt to leave.
Seeing her movement, Lu Luochen grabbed her wrist again. "You're so eager to escape from me and go to that man."
"I'm not. What are you going crazy about?" Wen Sining stared into his eyes and said word by word.
"Me going crazy? I'm watching my wife arm - in - arm with another man at a party. Have you ever thought about how I feel? Maybe you've never thought about it. We've been married for so long, have you ever accompanied me to a party?" After saying that, he let go of her weakly, and a look of desolation flashed in his eyes.
"So you think I'm embarrassing you? No one else knows about our relationship," Wen Sining continued. "I didn't know you'd be here. You've never asked me to come before."
