Jing Anyu spoke to Wen Sining as if there was no one else around, seemingly provoking Lu Luochen, although he knew the two had already divorced.
Wen Sining then took out her phone from her pocket. She pressed a button but there was no response. It must have been turned off. Just in the supermarket, it could only be said that Jing Anyu had called at a really inopportune time.
"What's up?"
"Your Aunt Jing and Uncle Jing are back. And he insisted that you go back and have dinner with them. I called you but there was no answer, so I had to come here." Jing Anyu stated his purpose.
Wen Sining nodded. "I see. When did they come back?" Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Father and Mother Jing for almost ten years.
"A few days ago."
Lu Luochen felt uncomfortable seeing Jing Anyu suddenly appear, especially when he was now standing with Wen Sining. So he coughed to prove his presence.
Jing Anyu looked at the things in Lu Luochen's hand and said, "Are these yours?" Of course, this question was directed at Wen Sining.
Wen Sining nodded.
"I'll carry them up for you. After all, some people are now just strangers, so it's better to have less contact." He implied something.
"Okay then."
Lu Luochen wanted to say something else, but after hearing Wen Sining's words, he was instantly furious, but he couldn't show it because he and Wen Sining were already divorced.
The reason why Wen Sining agreed was that she felt a bit uncomfortable being with Lu Luochen. And when they were about to part, she hadn't figured out what to say to him. It seemed that no matter what attitude or expression she took, it would be a bit awkward. But it would be different with Jing Anyu.
"Give them to me." Jing Anyu reached out his hand to take the things from Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen reluctantly handed them over, while Jing Anyu looked quite smug.
"Well, we'll go up first. Thank you for today." Wen Sining said to Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen was angry and didn't say a word. He just turned around and left. Wen Sining didn't know what was wrong with him and thought it was rather inexplicable.
"Let's go." Jing Anyu said.
Wen Sining went into the elevator with him. Lu Luochen turned around and watched their departing backs, feeling very uncomfortable.
As soon as he got in the car, he received a call from Yun Chuchu. Lu Luochen originally wanted to hang up, but then he thought of what he had just seen and changed his mind. He answered the call out of spite.
As soon as the call was connected, Yun Chuchu's coquettish voice came from the other end.
"Luochen, you finally answered my call. Are you still mad at me? I went to see Grandpa for your own good that day. It's been a month. Your anger should be gone by now, right?" Yun Chuchu said. She had long known about the divorce of the two.
"No." Lu Luochen replied perfunctorily.
"Really? Then why didn't you answer my calls before?" Her words seemed to be accusing Lu Luochen of his previous behavior.
"The company has been too busy. I didn't have the time." Lu Luochen casually found an excuse to fob her off.
"Really? I don't believe it. If you're really not mad at me, have dinner with me tomorrow." Yun Chuchu was a bit pushy.
Lu Luochen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw Jing Anyu's provocative look just now and thought that he had been up there for so long and still hadn't come down, he was angry and directly agreed to Yun Chuchu's request.
"Then see you tomorrow. I'll send you the time and location later." Yun Chuchu said excitedly.
Lu Luochen just hummed and then hung up the phone.
Jing Anyu directly carried the things to Wen Sining's home.
"Do you want some water? I'll pour you a glass." Wen Sining said.
Jing Anyu casually walked to the window and took a look downstairs. Seeing that Lu Luochen's car was still there, he agreed.
Wen Sining poured him a glass of water.
Jing Anyu took it and took a sip. Estimating that the time was about right, he said to Wen Sining, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. I'll call you later and we'll go back for dinner together."
Wen Sining nodded and saw him to the door.
Downstairs, Lu Luochen didn't drive away until he saw Jing Anyu come out.
After Wen Sining finished washing up, she lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She and Lu Luochen had shared a bed for a year. Although they hadn't had a real marital relationship, they knew each other's little habits. But now they seemed to be acting like the most familiar strangers. This feeling was really uncomfortable. She couldn't figure out Lu Luochen's thoughts now, and she didn't know what he was up to today.
Just a month ago, they were still sitting on the cold stools in the Civil Affairs Bureau going through the divorce procedures. Now they could sit together as if nothing had happened. Wen Sining admitted that she couldn't do this at all.
Forget it. She shook her head, trying not to think about these things. She still had to go to work tomorrow. She closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.
The next day, when it was almost time to get off work, Lu Luochen received a call from Yun Chuchu. Only then did he remember that he had agreed to have dinner with Yun Chuchu out of spite last night. It was too late to refuse now, so he had to answer the call.
"Luochen, I'm waiting for you downstairs of your company."
Hearing this, Lu Luochen walked to the French window and looked down. He found that there were indeed several cars downstairs, but because they were too far away, he couldn't tell which one was Yun Chuchu's.
"I see. I'll come down now." Lu Luochen said. He didn't know why he didn't want others in the company to see him getting into Yun Chuchu's car. But it would be different for Yun Chuchu. Lu Luochen inexplicably thought of her again.
He took the elevator directly downstairs. As soon as he reached the company entrance, he saw Yun Chuchu standing outside. He quickened his pace and walked towards her.
"I'll drive. Let's go." Yun Chuchu said when she saw Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat. After Yun Chuchu got in the car and started it, he asked, "Where are we going for dinner?"
"You'll know later." Yun Chuchu pretended to be mysterious.
Lu Luochen wasn't interested. He just wanted to finish dinner with Yun Chuchu and leave as soon as possible.
Yun Chuchu parked the car in front of a Western restaurant.
The two got out of the car. Yun Chuchu had reserved a private room in advance. After they went in, the waiter directly led them there.
After they were seated, Yun Chuchu looked at Lu Luochen and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"You can order."
Yun Chuchu seemed to notice that Lu Luochen was a bit absent - minded, but she couldn't say anything.
