Lu Bancheng, who was listening to the girl in the car, subconsciously turned his head and looked out of the window when he heard the noise.
Before he could even look at Xu Wennuan's face, his gaze swept across her upper body, and he immediately knew who she was. His gaze instantly froze, and his tall and straight body visibly stiffened.
The girl, who was smiling and chatting with Lu Bancheng with her head tilted to the side, noticed that something was wrong with him and stopped talking. "Brother Bancheng, what's wrong?"
Seeing that he was staring out of the window without any reaction, she followed his line of sight.
This was the third time she saw Xu Wennuan, and she appeared much calmer and more natural than the previous two times. She pursed her lips and smiled at Xu Wennuan before she subconsciously turned her head to look at Lu Bancheng.
As if he had lost his soul, Lu Bancheng remained motionless in his seat until the girl quietly nudged him and muttered, "Brother Bancheng." Lu Bancheng's eyelids fluttered slightly, and his gaze slowly moved up Xu Wennuan's waist.
When his eyes met Xu Wennuan's delicate chin, she clearly noticed that his hands, which had unknowingly clenched into fists, had begun to tremble slightly.
But the expression on his face was so calm that not a single trace of it could be found. His gaze calmly swept past Xu Wennuan's petite lips and straight nose before finally meeting her eyes.
When their gazes met, Xu Wennuan's body trembled slightly before she snapped back to her senses. She stared unwaveringly at Lu Bancheng with her large, bright eyes for a while before a faint smile appeared on her face and she said, "Hi."
Lu Bancheng's lips curled into a smile when he heard her greeting him. He nodded at Xu Wennuan and said, "What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence." Xu Wennuan lowered her head and glanced at the cake that she had accidentally dropped on the ground. It was already in pieces and was inedible. She bent down in embarrassment, picked it up, and threw it into the trash can beside her. Only then did she move closer to Lu Bancheng's car. "When did you get back from America?"
"I just came back a few days ago," Lu Bancheng replied calmly.
The girl sitting next to Lu Bancheng looked at him in astonishment when she heard this.
He had never been to the United States. Why did he lie?
The girl instinctively said, "Brother Bancheng …"
"Oh," Xu Wennuan replied. Just as she was about to say something else, she heard the girl call out to Lu Bancheng. Xu Wennuan abruptly stopped what she was about to say. She then saw Lu Bancheng turn his head and smile at the girl. He then moved his lips and said something in a low voice. Only then did the girl puff up her cheeks and say, "Oh," before lowering her head unhappily.
He reached out and stroked the girl's hair comfortingly before turning to look at Xu Wennuan.
He and the girl seemed to be close and familiar with each other. What was their relationship?
Xu Wennuan, who had witnessed the interaction between Lu Bancheng and the girl, could not help but tighten her fingers around the edge of her shirt. She could clearly feel a throbbing pain spreading from the bottom of her heart. It was shallow, prickling, and hard to notice, but it was impossible to ignore.
"How have you been recently?" Lu Bancheng's tone was light, as if he was asking about an unimportant old friend.
