She suddenly looked up, her eyes wide open, her chest heaving violently, and a nameless anger surged up within her!
"Lu Mingfei! You little brat, you still know how to come back?!" She roared like a lit firecracker, making the windowpanes vibrate!
She practically sprang to her feet, bursting with rage, and rushed to the door, forcefully pulling it open with a loud bang!
Light streamed in from outside the door.
She froze, just as she was about to continue her tirade.
The person outside the door was not the Lu Mingfei they had expected.
Standing under the hallway lights was a young girl wearing a white cotton dress.
She is elegant and quiet, like a gardenia blooming in silence.
Behind her stood a burly middle-aged man wearing sunglasses. Beneath his tight black suit were solid muscles, exuding a professional aura that kept strangers at bay.
The girl's gaze swept past her aunt, quickly scanning the furnishings of the room with a hint of inquiry, before she spoke softly, her voice gentle yet carrying a barely perceptible urgency:
"Hello, uncle and aunt, excuse me... is Lu Mingfei home?"
Auntie finally came to her senses.
Looking for Lu Mingfei?
And she's such a... extraordinary girl?
Her heart skipped a beat.
Her aunt's voice softened unconsciously, and her anger was quickly replaced by doubt:
"Lu Mingfei...did he get into some trouble outside? Did he offend you or something...?"
Her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the silent man in sunglasses.
The girl seemed startled by her aunt's association and quickly waved her hands to explain, her tone hurried:
"No, no, no! He didn't cause any trouble!"
She lowered her eyelashes, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt, her voice softening, revealing a sense of loss.
"But... he hasn't replied to my messages... I'm a little worried..." The last part of her sentence almost disappeared into the air.
The aunt was completely dumbfounded.
No reply?
For something as trivial as this, a girl who seems well-mannered would come to my house late at night with men who clearly look like bodyguards?!
What's happening here?
Moreover... judging from the girl's downcast eyes and bowed head, she clearly harbored a girlish sense of loss and worry.
An unbelievable thought suddenly rushed into Auntie's mind:
Could she be Lu Mingfei's girlfriend?
But she ruthlessly extinguished that thought the very next second.
Absolutely impossible!
As for Lu Mingfei?
That good-for-nothing loser in her eyes? Impossible!
The aunt coughed lightly, forcing an awkward smile to hide the turmoil within her:
"Um... young lady, who are you?"
The girl seemed to realize her rudeness only then, her face flushing slightly, and she quickly said:
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei's classmate."
"Oh...it's Wenwen!" Auntie tried to make her smile less stiff. "Mingfei...well, he's not back yet!"
"Most likely... he's still playing games at some internet cafe! Sigh, this kid, I just can't control him!"
Chen Wenwen's eyes immediately lit up, as if she had grasped a clue:
"Internet cafe? Auntie, do you know which internet cafe he frequents?"
The aunt felt a surge of mixed emotions—jealousy and discomfort—catch up again, but she forced a smile and pointed in the direction:
“Look, that ‘Chaoyang Internet Cafe’ at the east end of the street, that’s where he often hangs out.”
"Thank you, Auntie! I'll go find him now!" Chen Wenwen's eyes lit up with hope. She bowed slightly politely, turned around, and walked quickly toward the elevator. The man in sunglasses followed silently.
The security door was slammed shut by my aunt with a loud bang.
Leaning against the cold door, the forced smile vanished from her face instantly, leaving only an overwhelming gloom and resentment.
Why?
Why does that loser attract a girl with such a background and temperament?!
What could possibly drive someone to come knocking on your door just because of a single unanswered message?!
That unvented resentment surged within her, almost bursting through her throat.
"Damn it! With him..." She gritted her teeth, suppressing the vicious curse about Lu Mingfei's mother.
……
The counter at Chaoyang Internet Cafe.
The network administrator yawned, his tone surprised:
"Lu Mingfei? He got off the plane a while ago, he left more than two hours ago."
"Ah... okay, thank you." The light in Chen Wenwen's eyes suddenly dimmed. She thanked him sadly and turned to leave.
The man in sunglasses, who had always been by his side, silently followed.
Pushing open the heavy glass door of the internet cafe, the damp evening breeze rushed in.
At the doorway, the man in sunglasses glanced at his watch, spoke in a low voice, his professionalism undeniable:
"Ms. Chen, it's getting late, you should go home."
"Hmm..." Chen Wenwen responded softly, her voice filled with unconcealed loneliness.
The small figure looked particularly frail under the flashing neon signs.
The man in sunglasses was also very puzzled:
Just who exactly is this Lu Mingfei?
What could possibly make this gentle and reserved young lady from the Chen family, who was practically raised like a princess, so persistent and so distraught?
A gleaming black Mercedes-Benz S500 was parked quietly on the side of the street.
The man in sunglasses deftly walked around to the driver's side and opened the car door.
Chen Wenwen walked slowly toward the other side of the car door.
Just as she bent slightly, preparing to get into the car—
Out of the corner of my eye, I was caught by a figure strolling towards me from around the street corner!
The streetlights cast a long, thin shadow of the boy.
He walked slowly toward Chaoyang Internet Cafe with his head down and his hands in his coat pockets.
Chen Wenwen's movements froze instantly!
His dim pupils suddenly lit up with a breathtaking brilliance!
She slammed the half-open car door shut and, almost without hesitation, ran towards that figure like an arrow released from a bow!
"Lu Mingfei—!" A clear voice, brimming with surprise, cut through the noise of the street. Her beautiful eyes were now filled with the excitement of finding someone she had lost. "I've finally found you!"
Lu Mingfei seemed to be awakened by the sudden shout.
He looked up and saw Chen Wenwen running up to him, panting. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Chen Wenwen?" His voice was calm and expressionless, carrying a detached scrutiny. "What are you doing here?"
Chen Wenwen seemed oblivious to the coldness in his tone, pouring all her courage and hope into this one sentence, and eagerly pressed for an answer:
"Lu Mingfei! You...you still remember me?!"
This sentence is like a fuse!
Lu Mingfei's calm pupils suddenly contracted!
A dazzling golden light burst forth in an instant, like two miniature suns igniting in his eyes!
The light was so sharp it could almost pierce the night!
His movements were faster than anyone could have imagined.
Chen Wenwen only felt a whirlwind rush towards her, and didn't even see how the other person moved!
The next second, Lu Mingfei's hands gripped her shoulders like iron clamps!
The powerful force caused her a slight pain, but she was unable to move!
He leaned down, so close that he could almost feel his hot breath on his face.
Those vertical pupils, burning with the flames of molten gold, were fixed on her eyes, each word distinct and clear:
"What did you say?! You still remember?!"
The powerful sense of oppression and the pure gold in her eyes made Chen Wenwen's heart pound, but she did not back down.
She met those golden eyes and nodded vigorously:
"Yes! I remember!"
Chapter 106 Some things, once missed, are missed forever! (Third update)
For an instant.
Lu Mingfei's mind was like a high-speed gear, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant!
Why does Chen Wenwen still remember?!
