Mr. Lu … Xu Wennuan, who had yet to recover from the shock of hearing him call her "Bancheng," was stunned for a moment when she heard his name. She then gently pulled her gaze back from the window. Before she could decide where to look, she caught sight of Lu Bancheng's silhouette from the corner of her eye. She hadn't seen him in a long time.
They hadn't contacted each other since they'd gotten their divorce certificate last year.
It wasn't until the end of the year that she and Qin Zhi 'ai had gone out for dinner that Qin Zhi' ai had inadvertently mentioned that he had gone to the United States a month ago due to work and that his return date was still unknown.
Because of Qin Zhi 'ai's relationship, Xu Wennuan knew very well that she and Lu Bancheng would meet sooner or later, but she hadn't expected it to be so sudden, so when she saw Lu Bancheng's silhouette, her mind instantly went blank.
The housekeeper retrieved a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet for Lu Bancheng.
Lu Bancheng gently and politely thanked the housekeeper before bending over to change his shoes. He then straightened his body and was about to walk into the house when he caught sight of Xu Wennuan, who was sitting on the sofa and staring at him in a somewhat stiff manner.
His back tensed up, and a familiar pain suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Brother Bancheng, didn't you just get off the plane at noon? Why are you here now? "Qin Zhi 'ai, who had walked some distance away from the sofa, asked with a faint smile.
When Lu Bancheng heard Qin Zhi 'ai's words, he quickly lowered his eyelids to block his gaze from Xu Wennuan. He then desperately tried to suppress the emotions that were constantly surging in his body. With a smile on his face, he calmly replied to Qin Zhi' ai, "The flight was canceled due to bad weather, so I changed my ticket for the next day."
"I see …" Qin Zhi 'ai's lips curled up into a smile. She pointed at the sofa and said, "Brother Bancheng, come over and sit …" As she spoke, she looked at the housekeeper and said, "Go get Brother Bancheng a cup of tea."
"Yes, Madam." Upon hearing the order, the housekeeper quickly rushed to the dining room.
Lu Bancheng took two steps into the house. When he was still some distance away from the sofa, he recalled how she had become nervous and uneasy whenever he approached her before their divorce, and he couldn't help but slow down.
Without batting an eyelid, he glanced at Xu Wennuan. Compared to when he had first laid eyes on her, she was much more relaxed, but her expression was still a little stiff.
Since he had chosen to leave her world without hesitation and return her peace, why should he disturb her now?
Lu Bancheng curled his fingers and subconsciously clenched them into fists. Then his gaze fell on Qin Zhi 'ai's face. As if remembering something, he asked in a natural tone, "Where's Brother Sheng?"
"There's an emergency at the company. It's upstairs in the study," Qin Zhi 'ai said.
"Then I'll go up and see him." As Lu Bancheng spoke, he looked at Xu Wennuan as if he was looking at a stranger. He gave her a polite but distant nod before he turned around and headed for the stairs.
He went up to the second floor and only stopped when he was out of sight of the first floor.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Xu Wennuan and Qin Zhi 'ai, who were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
He hadn't seen her for more than a year, and she looked much healthier than before the divorce. She had also matured a little, and she was even more beautiful and attractive.
He didn't know what she was talking about with Qin Zhi 'ai, but her eyes were curved, and her smile was dazzling.
