Since the two of them had been busy with work, this was a rare chance for them to lie together. They chatted until late at night and only fell asleep when they felt sleepy.
In the next few days, Qiao Xi stayed at Wen Sining's place to take care of her.
One day, the two of them got a sudden craving for hot pot. But since Wen Sining's foot was still not very convenient, Qiao Xi went out to buy the hot pot ingredients.
While they were enjoying the hot pot, Wen Sining's phone, which was placed aside, rang. Hearing it, Qiao Xi asked, "Who's calling?"
"Grandpa," Wen Sining replied, looking a bit surprised at the caller ID. The last time Grandpa called her was on the night when Lu Luochen had an affair with Yun Chuchu.
Wen Sining answered the phone. "Hello, Grandpa."
"Ningning, I heard from Lu Luochen that you sprained your foot. Is it serious?" Grandpa Lu's kind voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wen Sining didn't expect that Lu Luochen would tell Grandpa about this. She wondered what his intention was.
"Grandpa, my foot is not serious," Wen Sining said.
"No, I'm still worried. You young people don't even take care of your health for the sake of work. Let Lu Luochen take you back home tomorrow. Stay at home until your foot gets better," Grandpa insisted.
Hearing this, Wen Sining instinctively wanted to refuse. "It's okay, Grandpa. I have..."
Before she could finish, Grandpa Lu interrupted her. "It's settled. I'll ask the maid to cook your favorite dishes tomorrow."
Wen Sining didn't know what else to say, so she had no choice but to agree.
They talked for a few more words before finally hanging up.
Putting down the phone, Wen Sining felt a headache coming on. Given her current relationship with Lu Luochen, she didn't know how to face Grandpa.
"So you're going back tomorrow?" Qiao Xi said as she picked up a slice of lotus root and put it into Wen Sining's bowl.
Wen Sining nodded. In this situation, she had no other choice.
At the hospital.
It was Yun Chuchu's discharge day. Lu Luochen also came, of course, at her invitation.
As soon as Lu Luochen arrived at Yun Chuchu's ward, he received a call from Grandpa, asking him to pick up Wen Sining and take her back home tomorrow. He agreed, and these words were exactly heard by Yun Chuchu.
She secretly made a plan in her heart. She didn't expect that the old Master Lu was still okay. If Wen Sining was called back home, it might even strengthen their relationship. She would never allow such a thing to happen.
She noticed that Lu Luochen didn't seem to have the intention of getting a divorce recently. She had to push things forward. With this thought in mind, she already had an idea. Anyway, the old Master Lu didn't recognize her now.
Lu Luochen hung up the phone. "Let's go," he said to Yun Chuchu. He left the rest of the matters to Jin Yihao.
Yun Chuchu followed Lu Luochen downstairs. "I'll take you home now," Lu Luochen, who was walking in front, turned around and said to her.
"Okay," Yun Chuchu nodded.
Lu Luochen drove Yun Chuchu back home. After that, he went to the company.
The next day.
Lu Luochen didn't go to the company. He waited downstairs for Wen Sining early in the morning. Knowing that Wen Sining probably hadn't gotten up yet at this time, he didn't call her.
After Qiao Xi got up, she pulled open the curtain and habitually looked downstairs. She saw Lu Luochen's car.
She took a closer look and found that she wasn't mistaken. Just then, Lu Luochen looked up, and they almost made eye contact. Qiao Xi quickly hid.
Wen Sining, who was lying in bed, saw her action. "What are you doing?"
"Lu Luochen is downstairs," Qiao Xi pointed at the outside with her finger.
"Why is he here?" After saying that, Wen Sining just remembered that Grandpa asked her to go back to the Lu Family Mansion today.
"He should be here to pick you up. Hurry up and get up," Qiao Xi said as she walked towards the bathroom.
Wen Sining's foot was much better than before. It had already swollen down. She hopped over on one foot and stood next to Qiao Xi to brush her teeth.
After washing up, she got dressed. Just as she picked up her phone, it vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Lu Luochen. She originally didn't want to answer it, but then thought that he was downstairs, so she pressed the answer button.
"Are you up?" Lu Luochen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes."
"I'm waiting for you downstairs."
"Okay, I'll come down later."
After saying that, they hung up. Just then, Qiao Xi came out with the fried eggs and bread.
Wen Sining poured the milk on the table into a cup. Thinking of Lu Luochen still downstairs, Qiao Xi couldn't help asking, "Do you want to call him up for breakfast?"
Although she was a bit dissatisfied with Lu Luochen, considering his good performance these two times, she decided to speak up for him.
Wen Sining shook her head without thinking. "No need to call him. Maybe he's already had breakfast before coming."
Qiao Xi didn't say anything else. Thinking that Wen Sining was going back to the Lu Family Mansion today, she said, "I'll go to the coffee shop today."
"Okay," Wen Sining replied.
After the two of them finished breakfast, Wen Sining picked up the bag hanging on the hanger. "Let's go," she said to Qiao Xi.
The two took the elevator downstairs. Qiao Xi supported Wen Sining. Lu Luochen, who was half-leaning on the car, saw them coming out of the elevator and immediately walked over.
"How's your foot now?" he asked with concern, looking at Wen Sining.
"It's much better than before," Wen Sining replied, which was rare for her. Since she was going to see Grandpa today, she didn't want Grandpa to worry about such things.
Lu Luochen quickly opened the driver's door. Qiao Xi helped Wen Sining get in.
"Be careful on your way back. Call me if there's anything," Qiao Xi told Wen Sining.
"Okay, okay. Don't worry," Wen Sining said. Only then did Qiao Xi nod. When she left, she gave Lu Luochen a meaningful look.
Lu Luochen didn't say anything else. He directly got into the driver's seat and started the car.
Because of Wen Sining's injured foot, he drove much slower than usual.
Wen Sining noticed it but didn't say anything.
"I know you're still angry with me. When we get back later, could you please cooperate with me a bit? You know Grandpa's health is not good and he can't take any stimulation," Lu Luochen said.
"I know. As long as you don't do anything out of line," Wen Sining said without even looking at him.
Her bag was on her lap. She opened it and saw the divorce agreement inside.
She just remembered that she had printed it out and put it in this bag, planning to give it to Lu Luochen, but things got in the way.
Forget it. It definitely wasn't appropriate to ask him to sign the divorce agreement under today's circumstances. Thinking this way, she put it in the innermost pocket of the bag.
