Could it be that Wu Hao brought me home? But I don't remember Wu Hao owning such a house …
Xu Wennuan frowned, got out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom barefooted.
She saw a luxuriously decorated living room that was clean, tidy, and spotless.
Xu Wennuan carefully observed the living room, and when she heard movement in the dining room, she walked over.
Before she reached the dining room, the person inside came out.
Lu Bancheng, who was dressed in his home clothes, stopped when he saw her. "You're awake?"
Xu Wennuan nodded in a daze before she picked up her phone and glanced at her call history.
Last night, she, she had actually called Lu Bancheng's place?
Lu Bancheng turned his body slightly to make way for her to walk to the dining room. "Breakfast is ready. Let's go eat something."
Xu Wennuan's brain could not process what was going on, and she replied in a daze, "Oh." After a while, she lifted her feet.
Only then did Lu Bancheng notice that she was barefoot. He reached out to take her arm and took off his slippers for her to wear. Then, he walked on the cold floor to the door and took out a new pair of slippers to put on.
Sitting at the dining table, Lu Bancheng scooped a bowl of porridge for Xu Wennuan and handed her a spoon.
Xu Wennuan finally reacted. She took the spoon and thanked him before she said, "Brother Bancheng, I'm really sorry about last night. I called the wrong number."
Wrong number … He knew it when he picked up the phone, didn't he?
Lu Bancheng lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment without any expression on his face before he lifted his head and smiled at Xu Wennuan. "It's okay. Hurry up and eat."
Xu Wennuan replied with an "oh." She lowered her head, picked up the spoon, and began to eat the porridge in small bites.
The hangover made Xu Wennuan's stomach a little uncomfortable. She finished half the bowl of porridge and put down the spoon. Just as she was about to say goodbye to Lu Bancheng and leave, the phone on the dining table rang.
When Lu Bancheng heard it, he lifted his eyes and saw the word "Mom."
Xu Wennuan stared at the phone screen as if she was hesitating about something. After a while, she answered the phone. "Mom."
Mrs. Xu's voice was a little loud, so Lu Bancheng, who was sitting across from Xu Wennuan, could hear her.
"Nuannuan, are you really not marrying Wu Hao? Even if Wu Hao really did make a mistake, you can't just kill him like that. Say, we've already met Wu Hao's parents. His mother even called me yesterday, asking me to persuade you … Nuan Nuan, if you want to break off the engagement just like that, you should at least discuss it with your father and me. Do you know that when Wu Hao came to our house to propose, he gave you a betrothal gift of one million yuan? Your father thought that you guys were already engaged, so he used it to speculate in the stock market. Now, it's all tied up in there. If you really break off the engagement, we'll have to return the money. Where do your father and I have that much money … "
Back when she and Wu Hao were so close, she felt that she and Wu Hao were family, so she didn't really care about the betrothal gifts.
One million … Xu Wennuan bit the corner of her lip. She didn't want to talk too much about these things in front of him, so she casually said, "We'll talk about it when I get home." She then hung up the phone.
After she put down the phone, Xu Wennuan looked up and bade farewell to Lu Bancheng. "Brother Bancheng, thank you for your help last night. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now."
"Okay." Lu Bancheng nodded. He then put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll walk you out."
Xu Wennuan pursed her lips and didn't say anything else.
After she stood up, Lu Bancheng stood up as well.
He walked to the door and pushed it open for Xu Wennuan.
"Goodbye, Brother Bancheng." Xu Wennuan changed into her shoes and waved at Lu Bancheng.
"Goodbye."
Xu Wennuan smiled at Lu Bancheng and walked out of the apartment.
Lu Bancheng held the door handle and stood in front of it without moving.
When the elevator door opened, Xu Wennuan lifted her foot. Before she could take another step, Lu Bancheng suddenly called her name. "Nuan Nuan."
