Chapter 934   So, He’s Zero Degrees 4Upon finding Lu Bancheng’s phone number, Xu Wennuan instinctively wanted to press the dial button. Just when her fingertip was about to touch the screen, she hesitated.

How strange… I borrowed some money from him, and telling him that I want to return it to him is a very natural thing. Yet, why do I feel so nervous and uneasy the moment I think about speaking on the phone with him?

Xu Wennuan gulped forcefully and ultimately chose to send Lu Bancheng a text message. She wrote, “Hello, this is Xu Wennuan. I wanted to ask, Are you back in Beijing?”

While studying more reports, Xu Wennuan picked up her phone to glance at it from time to time, but 30 minutes later there was still no reply from Lu Bancheng. The act of sending him that text message had initially soothed her feelings, but now they were stirred again.magic

Why isn’t he replying to me? Could it be that he hasn’t recovered from being sick and is now unconscious or something? But that can’t be… The doctor said that it’s just a cold and it’s no big deal…

As Xu Wennuan pondered over it, she couldn’t help but type another message. She wrote, “Let me know if you’re back in Beijing, and I can return the money…”Lu Bancheng remained silent on the other end of the phone and did not speak. Xu Wennuan sensed he was unhappy about something, but she wasn’t sure what it was.

Did I say something wrong?

As she was reflecting, Lu Bancheng finally said, “I’m driving back to the city now. I heard from Xiao’ai that you’re working at the spa. I’ll be passing by, so I’ll contact you when I’m getting close, and you can come downstairs to meet me.”

After a pause, Lu Bancheng added, “Is that okay?”

Because Xu Wennuan owed him money, she naturally went with his suggestion. “Sure,” she said.

……

When Lu Bancheng called again, Xu Wennuan had just finished going through all her statements. After hanging up, she went to the bathroom, glanced at herself in the mirror, and removed her hairband to comb her hair. Once she returned to her office, she grabbed the envelope she had prepared earlier from her drawer, stuffed it into her bag, and headed downstairs.

The moment she stepped out of the entrance, she caught sight of Lu Bancheng’s car parked on the side of the road with both headlights flashing.
