With one hand on the window, he straightened his head and the other on the steering wheel, looking straight ahead. Occasionally, when the girl spoke excitedly, he would turn his head slightly and glance at her. Then, he would occasionally move his lips to reply to the girl.
Just as the car was about to pass Xu Wennuan, Lu Bancheng seemed to notice her standing by the side of the road and looked in her direction.
Because the car was moving and they were some distance away, Xu Wennuan couldn't see Lu Bancheng's expression clearly. However, she could sense that the moment he looked at her, his entire aura became a little cold.
Very quickly, however, he retracted his gaze and looked back at the girl in the passenger seat with a smile in his eyes. He was once again the gentle and easygoing Lu Bancheng.
Xu Wennuan blinked her eyes when Lu Bancheng's car had driven far away. She raised her arm and waved her hands to flag down an empty taxi before she got in.
The traffic light was red, and the taxi stopped after driving less than 150 feet.
Xu Wennuan sat in the back seat and glanced out the window from time to time. After waiting for about 10 seconds for the traffic light to turn red, she saw Director Li staggering out of the entrance of Jin Garden with the help of his assistant.
He looked like he was dead drunk and couldn't even walk steadily. If his assistant hadn't supported him with all his might, he would have fallen to the ground several times over.
Before he reached the roadside, Director Li bent over and vomited. This time, it was much worse than the previous two times she had vomited. As he vomited, his body convulsed as if he was in extreme discomfort.
Xu Wennuan's taxi wasn't far from the entrance of Jin Garden, and in the silence of the night, she could vaguely hear Director Li's voice.
"Director, are you alright?" Director Li's assistant asked as he patted his back.
Director Li continued to vomit until his assistant suddenly called out, "Director, why are you vomiting blood? I'll take you to the hospital now … "
Vomiting blood?
Before Xu Wennuan could react, the traffic light turned green, and the taxi moved slowly. Very soon, Director Li and his assistant disappeared from her sight.
Why did Director Li drink so much? To the point of vomiting blood … Is he happy because he signed the contract with Lu Bancheng?
As Xu Wennuan thought about this, her stomach churned again. Afraid that she would vomit in the taxi, she quickly closed her eyes and stopped her thoughts.
…
When they arrived at Lu Bancheng's apartment building, Xu Wennuan paid the driver and got out of the car. She enjoyed the night breeze for a while before entering the building.
After exiting the elevator, Xu Wennuan staggered to the door, keyed in the password, opened the door, and walked in.
She kicked off her high heels and casually tossed her bag onto the shoe cabinet. Then, she walked toward the dining room in her slippers.
When Xu Wennuan was about six feet away from the entrance of the restaurant, she heard soft voices coming from inside.
"Mr. Lu, do you want cream and brown sugar in your coffee? How much? Why don't I increase it according to my own amount first? If you don't think it's suitable, I'll change it … "
Xu Wennuan suddenly stopped in her tracks. Through the open door of the restaurant, she saw Lu Bancheng leaning against the dining table with his head lowered, looking at his phone. The girl who had hitched a ride with him was standing in front of the counter, brewing coffee with a sweet expression on her face.
He had actually asked that girl out for coffee in his apartment …
