I don't know if it was Lu Luochen's illusion, but he actually detected a hint of grievance in what Wen Sining had just said.
"No, I can assure you that I've never lied to you. I've already explained the previous incident. I just wanted to win you back."
"Win me back." Wen Sining murmured these three words. "Doing things like this won't win me back. All I want is your genuine affection, even just a little bit. I don't know when I started to develop feelings for you. In the first few days after our divorce, I felt a bit unaccustomed. But now I'm much better. However, I don't know when I've gotten used to having you around..."
Listening to Wen Sining's words, Lu Luochen felt a pang in his heart. It turned out that his previous actions had been wrong.
After Wen Sining finished speaking, she went straight back into the room, lay back on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Luochen stayed by her side until the middle of the night before going to the guest room next door to rest.
The next day, when he woke up, Wen Sining was still in bed because of the hangover.
Lu Luochen went to the kitchen to make some simple breakfast. After it was done, Wen Sining was still sleeping, so he didn't wake her up.
He put the breakfast in a thermos box and left because he had to deal with the issues of Jing Anyu's company.
I don't know how much time had passed before Wen Sining on the bed opened her eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she instantly sobered up.
The first thing she did was check her clothes. After confirming that everything was okay, she felt relieved. She reached for her phone beside her and found that Lu Luochen had turned it off the day before.
Fragmented memories flooded back into her mind.
It seemed that Lu Luochen had brought her back last night, and she seemed to have said some things. Just thinking about those words made her face flush instantly. She felt so ashamed that she didn't think she could face anyone. But since she was still in Lu Luochen's house, after some hesitation, she finally got out of bed, gently pushed open the bedroom door, and walked out. She called out Lu Luochen's name and looked around. Seeing that there was no one there, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Because she really didn't know how to face him right now.
At that moment, her stomach growled inappropriately. Wen Sining thought that she should leave this place as soon as possible to avoid the awkward situation of running into Lu Luochen later.
Before she reached the door, the phone in her hand rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Lu Luochen. She stopped in her tracks and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to answer it or not.
Finally, she gritted her teeth. After all, she had to face him sooner or later. It might be better to talk on the phone at least she didn't have to see him.
She pressed the answer button, and Lu Luochen's voice came from the other end.
"You're awake. I've put the breakfast in the microwave. You can heat it up and eat it later."
"Got it." She originally wanted to ask where he was but then thought better of it, afraid that he might misunderstand.
"Then eat first. I'm going to get busy."
After they hung up the phone, Wen Sining turned back. Anyway, she was hungry, and it would be a waste not to eat the ready - made food. She walked into the kitchen, opened the microwave, and sure enough, saw the breakfast inside. She heated it up a bit and then ate.
After finishing breakfast, she took the elevator back to change her clothes and then went to the company.
Due to the morning's delay, she didn't arrive at the company until noon. After arriving, she remembered that Jing Anyu's problem hadn't been solved yet. She was about to call him to ask about the situation when her phone rang, and it was actually Jing Anyu calling.
She answered the call. "Brother Anyu, I already know about your company's situation. Do you need my help?"
"I was just about to talk to you about this. Lu Luochen has already helped me solve it. I'm calling you to ask if you can invite him out. I'd like to have a meal with him to show my gratitude." Jing Anyu really didn't expect that Lu Luochen would do such a thing.
"Did I hear you right? You're saying that Lu Luochen helped you solve this problem?" Wen Sining still couldn't quite believe it.
"You heard me right. So can you invite him out for a meal?" Jing Anyu said. He never disliked Lu Luochen in the first place, and now that Lu Luochen had done this, his impression of him had changed for the better.
"Sure." Wen Sining thought for a while and finally told him exactly what Yun Chuchu had said to her.
After hearing this, Jing Anyu explained, "Actually, this was done by Yun Chuchu through someone from Lu Luochen's company. He was completely unaware of this."
Wen Sining nodded. So that was the case. It seemed that she had really misunderstood Lu Luochen this time.
After they hung up the phone, Wen Sining was in a great mood. She didn't even realize that deep down in her heart, she had hoped that Lu Luochen wasn't involved in this matter.
Thinking like this, she picked up her phone and called Lu Luochen. The call was answered as soon as it was dialed.
"Ningning."
"Brother Anyu wants to invite you to dinner tonight to thank you for helping him." Wen Sining said.
"Are you going? If you're not going, then I won't agree to this." He said this on purpose. In fact, he just wanted to have a meal with Wen Sining.
Wen Sining didn't expect him to say such a thing. "I'll go."
Hearing this, Lu Luochen on the other end of the phone smiled silently. "Then I'll pick you up after work."
Wen Sining was about to decline and say that she could go there by herself, but Lu Luochen added another sentence, "It's settled then."
To prevent Wen Sining from refusing, Lu Luochen hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.
Listening to the busy tone on the receiver, Wen Sining had no choice but to agree.
As Lu Luochen eagerly awaited, it was finally time to get off work. His car was already parked downstairs of Wen Sining's company.
When he saw a familiar figure appear in his sight, Lu Luochen opened the car door and got out.
At the end of the workday, employees were streaming out of the company one after another. To avoid attracting attention, Wen Sining quickened her steps towards Lu Luochen.
As soon as she came over, she opened the passenger - side door and got in. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Luochen slowly got into the car.
"Let's go quickly. I'm hungry." Wen Sining made up an excuse casually.
Lu Luochen knew what she was thinking but didn't pursue the matter. "You haven't told me where Jing Anyu made the reservation."
Only then did Wen Sining remember that she had forgotten about it in the afternoon while dealing with work.
