For the rest of the journey, neither of them said a word. The atmosphere was deathly quiet.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the Lu family mansion. Wen Sining got out of the car.
"Wait." Just as Wen Sining was opening the car door to get out, Lu Luochen beside her spoke up.
Wen Sining's hand froze. She looked at him, her eyes asking what else he wanted.
"Stay put for now." After saying that, he opened the car door and got out directly. His movements were clean and decisive, never hesitant. That was his style.
The next second, the passenger door was opened. Lu Luochen leaned in.
Seeing his actions, Wen Sining looked at him warily. "What are you doing?"
"Your foot is injured, isn't it? I'll carry you out."
Wen Sining immediately refused. She was just injured, not disabled.
But Lu Luochen ignored her and carried her out directly. Wen Sining struggled.
"Don't move. You'll fall." Lu Luochen's voice sounded above her head.
"Then put me down." Wen Sining said stubbornly. For some reason, being carried by Lu Luochen like this made her feel uncomfortable all over.
"Grandpa." Lu Luochen called out.
Wen Sining immediately stopped moving. She looked around but didn't see Grandpa's figure. Looking up at Lu Luochen, she noticed his well - defined jawline. Wen Sining came to her senses and shook her head.
Why was she focusing on this now? "If you don't put me down, I'll bite you."
But her words carried no threat at all.
In the end, Wen Sining gave up struggling and let Lu Luochen carry her back.
Grandpa Lu, who was just about to come out, was overjoyed to see this scene.
"Ningning, you're back." Grandpa Lu said affectionately.
"Grandpa." Wen Sining called out. Then she looked at Lu Luochen. "You can put me down now, right?"
Lu Luochen bent down and put her on the ground.
"Let me see how your foot is?" Grandpa Lu said.
"It's much better already."
Lu Luochen supported Wen Sining and walked in. Since Grandpa was there, she didn't dare to refuse.
"You've all been away for so long, leaving an old man like me at home." Grandpa Lu complained.
Hearing this, Wen Sining was surprised. She looked at Lu Luochen. Hadn't he been home these days? She always thought he lived at home.
Wen Sining smiled and coaxed, "We've all been busy these days. As soon as you called us, we came back together."
Grandpa Lu nodded and then turned his gaze to Lu Luochen. "How about you and that woman?"
"She was just discharged from the hospital today. We won't have any contact in the future." Lu Luochen said.
Grandpa Lu looked at Wen Sining. "Ningning, I know you've been angry with him these days. He's really been a disappointment. I've already taught him a lesson for you. If you're still not satisfied, you can beat or scold him. Grandpa won't mind."
Wen Sining shook her head. She was completely disappointed in Lu Luochen. What good would it do to beat or scold him?
The two sat together and chatted for a while. Then the aunt finished cooking, and they sat down at the dinner table.
"Ningning, this is your favorite honey - glazed barbecued pork." Saying that, Grandpa Lu picked up a few slices and put them in Wen Sining's bowl.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Wen Sining said sweetly. In fact, Grandpa was the one who treated her best in this family.
After Grandpa Lu picked up food for Wen Sining, he gave Lu Luochen a look of disappointment. "Lu Luochen, what are you standing there for? Peel a shrimp for Ningning. You're so clueless. It's really a pity for our Ningning."
"Okay." Lu Luochen put down his chopsticks, picked up the gloves on one side, put them on, and started to peel shrimp for Wen Sining.
Wen Sining chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth, then immediately said, "No need, Grandpa. I'll do it myself."
"It's okay, Ningning. Just eat your meal. Let him peel for you."
Wen Sining looked at Lu Luochen and found that he was peeling the shrimp seriously. He also put the bad ones on the plate. Seeing that there were already several shrimps on the plate, she said, "That's enough. Don't peel anymore."
Hearing her words, Lu Luochen's hand paused. "Okay. Wait until I finish this one." His hands didn't stop, and there was actually a hint of joy in his heart. Was Wen Sining caring about him?
After peeling the last shrimp, he directly handed the plate to Wen Sining.
"Eat quickly." Lu Luochen said.
Wen Sining nodded.
Lu Luochen looked at the stewed chicken soup on one side, got up, filled a bowl for Wen Sining, and put it beside her. Wen Sining saw it and said, "Give it to Grandpa first."
"It's okay. You drink first. I'll fill another bowl for Grandpa."
Grandpa Lu also said on one side, "Drink it quickly."
Wen Sining didn't say anything more. The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite good. They were halfway through the meal when they heard someone knocking on the door.
"I'll go and have a look." The aunt said to the others and then walked towards the door.
After opening the door, she saw the woman standing in front of her. She was wearing a white dress with a long beige knitted cardigan over it.
"Miss, may I ask who you're looking for?" She said to the woman in front of her.
"I'm looking for Lu Luochen. Is he here?" She looked inside but couldn't see anything from this position.
"Yes, he is. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm his friend." The woman introduced herself.
"Come in, please." The aunt stepped aside to let her in.
"Sir, this young lady says she's your friend." The aunt walked in front and said to Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen looked at the woman walking behind the aunt and said, "Yun Chuchu, why are you here?"
Wen Sining's face changed immediately when she saw her. She put down her chopsticks.
Grandpa Lu recognized who this woman was because he had someone check on her before. She was the one who had had a relationship with Lu Luochen.
"You didn't even tell me when you came home. I had to come and see Grandpa myself." Yun Chuchu said.
Grandpa Lu frowned and looked at her. "Get out. I don't want to see you."
Hearing Grandpa Lu's words, Yun Chuchu immediately looked aggrieved. She put the things she was carrying on the ground and reached out to touch her stomach.
"Grandpa, how can you say that to me? I was pregnant with your grandson in my belly before, but he was gone because of Wen Sining. How can you still sit at the same dinner table with her now?" She pointed at Wen Sining and complained.
"Stop talking." The nice atmosphere was completely ruined by her. Lu Luochen looked at her angrily.
"Get out of here." Grandpa Lu pointed at her.
"Grandpa, how can you say such a thing? Even if the child is gone now, you can't treat me like this. My body still hasn't recovered yet." Yun Chuchu started her act.
