As Xu Wennuan spoke, she lifted her head and glanced at Lu Bancheng. She realized that his expression was indifferent, as if he wasn't the least bit interested in what had happened to her that night. She stopped talking.
Lu Bancheng thought that she was done, so he nodded at her and casually said, "I see." Then he said nothing else.
So he really wasn't the least bit interested in what had happened to me.
Xu Wennuan's chest tightened in pain, and she almost couldn't breathe.
The living room fell into silence again. Xu Wennuan, who had nothing else to say, forced herself to stay silent for a while. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and said, "Erm, there's nothing else. I'll take my leave now."
"Okay," Lu Bancheng replied quickly.
Xu Wennuan stood up, but Lu Bancheng remained on the sofa and had no intention of sending her off.
She picked up her bag and stood there for two seconds. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she couldn't help but ask, as if she was trying to find out some good news, "Is that girl your girlfriend?"
I've never cared about anything related to me. This seems to be the first time she's taken the initiative to ask about me … Lu Bancheng's back tensed up, and his hand subconsciously landed on his immobile leg. In the past, he would have been very happy, but now, all he felt was helplessness.
It didn't matter if she was just purely curious or because she cared about me. What was important was that he now had even less right to appear in her world than before.
Lu Bancheng looked into Xu Wennuan's eyes, which were warm and clean. After a while, he nodded his head gently. Without saying a word, he acknowledged it by saying, "Okay."
Xu Wennuan's heart felt as if it had been sliced by the sharpest knife, and the pain caused her body to sway slightly.
She smiled at Lu Bancheng and said, "She's quite pretty. Congratulations."
Lu Bancheng lowered his eyelids and smiled faintly without saying a word.
Xu Wennuan felt her eyes ache terribly, but she didn't dare to stay any longer. She hurriedly said, "Goodbye." Then, without waiting for him to respond, she turned and walked quickly toward the door.
Before she reached the entrance, her eyes were already filled with tears. She didn't dare to raise her hand to wipe away her tears. With her blurred vision, she searched for her shoes, squatted down, and began to change them in a flurry. She tried to tie her shoelaces several times, but she couldn't do it properly. She gave up and stood up to push the door open. Before she could take a step, her shoelaces came loose. She accidentally stepped on them, and she tripped over herself, landing on the floor in a sorry state.
Xu Wennuan was in so much pain that her tears flowed even harder.
When Guoguo heard the commotion, she ran out of the bedroom and anxiously called out, "Brother Bancheng!" When she saw that it wasn't him, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief and walked toward the entrance. When she saw Xu Wennuan lying on the floor, she hurriedly ran over and bent down to help her up. "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? "
Because of the tears in her eyes, Xu Wennuan didn't dare to look at Guoguo. She merely lowered her head and shook it before she whispered, "I'm fine." Without waiting for Guoguo to respond, she added, "I'm leaving now." She then pulled her arm away and limped toward the elevator.
"Did you sprain your ankle?" Guoguo asked as she chased after Xu Wennuan.
