As soon as she stepped into the elevator, Xu Wennuan quickly pressed the button for Lu Bancheng's apartment, as if she was afraid that she would have stage fright the next second.
As the elevator doors closed, Xu Wennuan stared at the continuously increasing red numbers, and her fingers involuntarily tightened their grip on her bag.
With a ding, the elevator came to a stop. When the doors opened, Xu Wennuan stepped out of the elevator with steady steps in her high heels and walked up to Lu Bancheng's apartment.
She stared at the familiar door for a moment before she took a deep breath, raised her hand, and pressed the doorbell.
The melodious sound of the bell rang for a long time, and then she could faintly hear footsteps behind the door.
Xu Wennuan's heartbeat and breathing instantly stopped, and she could clearly feel her palms begin to sweat.
As the footsteps disappeared, the sound of the doorknob being twisted came from behind the door. Then, the heavy red security door was pushed open, and a cute little face peeked out from inside. "Who is it?"
Xu Wennuan was momentarily stunned, and after a few seconds, a girl's reflection appeared in her eyes.
The person who had opened the door was the girl who had been in Lu Bancheng's car that afternoon.
At this moment, she seemed to have just taken a shower. She was only wearing a bathrobe. Her long, black hair was wet and draped over her head. The ends of her hair were still dripping with water.
It's already so late, yet she's still in Lu Bancheng's apartment, and she looks like this …
Xu Wennuan felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head, and her entire body felt chilled to the bone.
The girl probably hadn't expected her to be the one knocking on the door so late at night, and an obvious look of astonishment flashed across her face. She stared at Xu Wennuan and was speechless for a long time.
The atmosphere in the corridor fell into a strange silence.
Because there had been no sound for a long time, the voice-activated lights were turned off, and the room seemed a little dim.
Lu Bancheng, who was in the apartment, didn't know who it was, and when he saw that there was no movement after Guoguo opened the door, he casually called out, "Guoguo?"
Guoguo returned to her senses and responded to Lu Bancheng before she smiled sweetly at Xu Wennuan. "Are you here to see Brother Bancheng?"
Without waiting for Xu Wennuan to reply, Guoguo opened the door and said, "Come in."
As she spoke, she opened the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of women's slippers, and placed them in front of Xu Wennuan.
Xu Wennuan snapped out of her reverie and thanked Guoguo softly before entering the apartment and changing her shoes.
Before Xu Wennuan could follow Guoguo into the living room, Lu Bancheng's voice could be heard again. "Guoguo, who's here?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Bancheng, who was sitting on the sofa with his head lowered and reading a document, seemed to sense something. He raised his head and glanced toward the entrance, and when he saw Xu Wennuan, he suddenly stopped talking.
"Brother Bancheng, it's for you." After Guoguo replied, she turned around, looked at Xu Wennuan, pointed at the sofa, and said, "Please take a seat."
As soon as Guoguo finished speaking, Lu Bancheng snapped out of his shock at Xu Wennuan's sudden appearance. He quickly reached out and grabbed a blanket from the side to cover his leg, which was only wearing a pair of sports shorts, to hide the hideous scar.
"What would you like to drink? Coffee, juice, or plain water? " Guoguo didn't sit down. Instead, she stood to the side like a hostess and politely asked Xu Wennuan again.
"No, thank you." Xu Wennuan forced a smile at Guoguo.
