The sensor lights in the hallway emitted a dim, blurry yellow light as he exited the hallway. The light shone on his body and blurred his expression.
From the open door behind him, he could vaguely hear a few suppressed coughs. The coughs were like knives slicing across his heart, causing an earth-shattering pain.
She must have lost her grip on the glass and smashed it on the floor. Now she was cleaning it up. There was a continuous rustling sound, and then he heard a soft cry of pain.
Did she get hurt by the glass cup?
Lu Bancheng subconsciously turned his head, but before he could catch a glimpse of what was going on in the house, he froze, as if his pressure points had been pressed.
He pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a moment. Ultimately, he didn't turn back to look at the house and merely raised his hand to close the door.
The door shut off all sounds in the house, and everything was quiet again. Lu Bancheng stood at the door for a few seconds with his suitcase in hand, his expression unchanged. He then walked to the elevator, pressed the button to open the door, and left.
While taking her medicine, she lost her grip on the glass cup and accidentally dropped it on the floor. Xu Wennuan's mind was a little fuzzy from her fever, and she accidentally scratched her finger while she was picking it up.
When she walked out of the dining room, Lu Bancheng was nowhere to be seen in the 300-square-meter apartment. If not for the slippers he had placed in the shoe cabinet at the entrance, which were slanted on the floor, she would have thought that the Lu Bancheng she had just seen was a hallucination caused by her high fever.
This seems to be the first time we've run into each other at home since we got our marriage certificate, and he hasn't said a single word to me.
In the past, every time he saw me, he would ask me all sorts of questions, and if I had seen her rummaging through the medicine cabinet, he would have probably dragged me to the hospital by force.
But now, to him, she was like a stranger who had nothing to do with him. Without saying a word, she left.
Xu Wennuan realized that her thoughts had drifted a little too far away, and she quickly withdrew her gaze from Lu Bancheng's slippers at the entrance.
The way we are now, like strangers, is what I want the most, so why am I thinking about the difference between him now and the way he used to be?
It was most likely that her mind was muddled from the fever, and that was why she was thinking about such nonsense.
Xu Wennuan shook her head violently to get rid of the messy thoughts in her head. She found a band-aid and stuck it on the wound on her finger before returning to the guest bedroom.
Even though he wasn't there, she still locked the door and climbed into bed. She covered her head with the blanket and fell asleep.
Due to her illness, Xu Wennuan slept so soundly that her alarm didn't even wake her up the next morning.
When he woke up, it was already past two in the afternoon.
She hurriedly called the leader of the company. The leader probably saw that her performance was good, so he didn't blame her for not coming to work without saying goodbye. Before hanging up the phone, he even asked her to rest well.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wennuan found a thermometer to take her temperature. Her fever had subsided, but her nose was still stuffy. She took two flu pills and waited for the takeout to arrive. After filling her stomach, she leaned against the sofa and rested for a short while. When she remembered that she had to meet a client for dinner at Jin Garden at five in the evening, she braced herself and left.
Xu Wennuan arrived at Jin Garden at 4: 40 p.m. and waited until 5: 30 p.m. for the client to arrive.
