Lu Bancheng didn't intend to say anything more, so he took his car keys and left first.
After Xu Wennuan said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Lu and walked out of the house, Lu Bancheng had already started the car and turned it around.
He got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and stepped on the accelerator without saying a word.
After driving out of the neighborhood where Mr. and Mrs. Lu lived, Xu Wennuan took out the white jade bracelet that Mrs. Lu had given her when she had chatted with her that afternoon and placed it in the glove compartment of the car. "Your mother gave this to me this afternoon."
Lu Bancheng only glanced at it briefly before returning his gaze to the road in front of him.
He couldn't be more familiar with that jade bracelet, which had been passed down through the generations of the Lu family's daughters-in-law.
When Lu Bancheng didn't speak, Xu Wennuan also fell silent. Five minutes later, when she saw the subway station, she said, "Drop me off here."
Lu Bancheng's jaw tightened, and he still didn't speak. About 30 seconds after Xu Wennuan finished speaking, he finally reacted slowly and hit the brakes.
It was a simple action, but he almost stepped on the accelerator. In a panic, he slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in the middle of the street. After a while, he turned the steering wheel again and drove the car to the side of the road.
After the car came to a stop, Xu Wennuan didn't say anything. Instead, she unbuckled her seatbelt and reached out to open the car door.
Lu Bancheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Wait."
Xu Wennuan held onto the slightly ajar door and turned to look at Lu Bancheng.
He stared straight ahead at the road as if he was struggling with something. After a long time, he said, "Are you free next Monday?"
Xu Wennuan didn't understand why Lu Bancheng would suddenly ask her if she was free, so she hesitated for a moment before asking, "What's the matter?"
Lu Bancheng seemed to be in a daze as he stared straight ahead for a long time before he inadvertently turned his head and looked at Xu Wennuan.
He stared at her pretty little face for a while, and as if he had made up his mind about something, he abruptly shifted his gaze away and said in one go, "If you're free next Monday, let's go to the civil affairs bureau and get the divorce papers done."
They had an agreement for a year, but it had only been four months. Why did he suddenly want to divorce her in advance?
Although Lu Bancheng didn't look at Xu Wennuan, he seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "You've already returned the money to me, so you don't owe me anything now. Anyway, we're going to divorce sooner or later, so it's better to do it earlier."
Lu Bancheng's hand, which was holding the steering wheel, began to tremble slightly. After a pause, he continued, "Besides, there's no difference between us now and a divorce, so we might as well clean up our relationship as soon as possible."
"Okay …" Xu Wennuan responded. She turned her head and was about to say "okay" when she caught sight of his exposed wrist from the corner of her eye.
There were a few needle marks on it, which seemed to have been caused by an IV drip. There was also a bruise, probably caused by the nurse's mistake.
Xu Wennuan was about to say something when she suddenly stopped.
So, he was so sick a few days ago … But it doesn't seem to have much to do with me … Xu Wennuan quickly organized her thoughts and spat out the words she wanted to say clearly. "Okay."
