"Baby, don't leave. Will you listen to me? This lipstick mark was definitely left by someone else. I didn't even touch her. I swear! I guarantee it to God, Buddha, and all the deities. I would never betray you."
Lu Luochen clung to Wen Sining like a sticky piece of candy.
Wen Sining was amused by his antics. "Lu Luochen, are you kidding me? Most people only believe in one deity. What's this? A mixed style?"
Lu Luochen wrinkled his nose slightly. He had a strikingly handsome profile, but at this moment, he inexplicably exuded a youthful charm.
"As long as they can help me gain your forgiveness, believing in a few more deities won't hurt."
Lu Luochen had his own reasoning.
Wen Sining felt sorry for him and finally managed to persuade him to open the door.
"I'm not really leaving you. It's just a temporary measure. During this time, you should focus on the cooperation with Mrs. Qin. I'll investigate who attacked Miss Qin. Once I find out the truth, we won't have to be separated anymore, okay?"
Wen Sining could see that Lu Luochen was truly heartbroken, so she comforted him gently.
Lu Luochen was stunned. "But you really hurt me today."
He said it so seriously that Wen Sining felt a twinge in her heart.
"I'm sorry. Mrs. Qin was there at the time, and I had no other choice. How about this? I'll cook dinner for you as compensation."
As soon as Wen Sining finished speaking, she was about to stand up, but the person behind her suddenly pulled her back into his embrace.
Wen Sining instinctively looked back and met Lu Luochen's passionate gaze.
"I'm not hungry at all. I don't want to eat. I just want you."
Lu Luochen whispered in Wen Sining's ear, his warm breath tickling her earlobe. Wen Sining felt her face flush.
Before she could react, Lu Luochen scooped her up in his arms and tossed her onto the bed. Wen Sining sighed inwardly but had no choice but to submit to his advances.
The next day, everyone at the Lu Group witnessed the transformation of President Lu's mood.
Yesterday, he had looked as dejected as an eggplant beaten by frost, but today, he was beaming with happiness. He even hummed a tune as he walked.
Everyone had heard about the incident where the president's wife had thrown her ring in the meeting room. They couldn't help but wonder if the couple was having relationship problems and if that was why President Lu seemed so happy.
However, this was ultimately the boss's personal matter, and it had nothing to do with them. After all, yesterday's gossip had faded, and today's rumors were endless.
Lu Luochen, of course, was unaware of what others were thinking. He returned to his office in high spirits, only to find Mrs. Qin waiting for him.
"Mrs. Qin, why did you come in person?"
Lu Luochen tried to compose himself when he saw Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin looked extremely sad. She walked up to Lu Luochen and grabbed his arm.
"President Lu, our two companies have had frequent interactions over the years, and our families have a good relationship. So, I'm begging you. Could you please go and see Zhenzhen? The child seems to be in a state of shock, and I can't reason with her."
Seeing Mrs. Qin's pleading expression, Lu Luochen didn't want to refuse directly. But when he thought of his wife, he didn't want to get too close to Qin Zhen.
"Mrs. Qin, I have a lot of work to do in the company. How about this? I'll go and see Qin Zhen after work. I'll bring a representative from the company with me. This shows our company's sincerity."
Lu Luochen took a step back to keep some distance from Mrs. Qin.
"That won't do!" Mrs. Qin immediately became serious. "Luochen, Zhenzhen just wants to see you. She won't do anything excessive. You know her mental state is not good. How can you bring so many people with you?"
Mrs. Qin's words completely dashed Lu Luochen's hopes. Just as he was trying to figure out how to decline, Chen Shanshan skipped into the office.
When Lu Luochen saw her, he immediately agreed to Mrs. Qin's request.
Mrs. Qin didn't expect Lu Luochen to be so cooperative, but since her goal had been achieved, she didn't dwell on it.
As soon as she left, Lu Luochen approached Chen Shanshan.
"Of course, I'd love to go and see Miss Qin in person."
Chen Shanshan was overjoyed at the opportunity to go out with Lu Luochen. It was a sign of trust.
Lu Luochen looked at her silly smile and thought for the first time that his cousin was actually quite cute. After making the arrangements, he quickly called Wen Sining to inform her.
Wen Sining couldn't help but laugh when she heard what he said. Mrs. Qin's intentions were as clear as day, but what was even more amusing was Lu Luochen's over - caution.
"I know you'll handle it well, so you don't have to report everything to me. People might think your wife is a shrew."
Wen Sining was very concerned about her reputation.
"Okay, baby, I love you."
After making all the arrangements, Lu Luochen finally felt at ease.
After work that day, the two of them bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the hospital ward.
The flowers were chosen by Chen Shanshan. Lu Luochen didn't know what kind of flowers they were. He only remembered that Wen Sining liked white roses, and other flowers didn't matter much to him.
Before they entered the ward, Qin Zhen was beaming with joy, but when she saw that there were two people entering, her face immediately fell.
"Luochen, why did you bring her here?"
Qin Zhen hadn't forgotten that it was this woman who had caused her brother to get beaten up.
"Come on, Miss Qin, don't be so resistant. I'm just here to visit you because I'm worried."
Chen Shanshan said as she handed the bouquet of flowers to Qin Zhen.
"These... carnations?"
Qin Zhen's face changed as soon as she saw the flowers. What young girl would like to receive carnations? Qin Zhen immediately felt the hostility from Chen Shanshan.
"Are they carnations?" Lu Luochen was stunned and quickly checked. His action confirmed that the flowers were not bought by him.
This made Qin Zhen even angrier.
