To Be Estranged in the Same Room (10)

Xu Wennuan did not make it to the restroom. She squatted before the common sink area and started throwing up until her stomach was devoid of everything. It was only then that she lifted her head weakly and breathlessly. She was just about to turn on the tap to rinse her mouth when the corner of her eye caught sight in the mirror of Lu Bancheng and a well-dressed man walking in and chatting happily.

The alcohol having slowed her reaction, Xu Wennuan stared at Lu Bancheng for a long time in the mirror. Lu Bancheng told the man beside him, "That's fine. We can arrange a suitable time to go take a look." Then, as though he felt something amiss, Lu Bancheng looked into the mirror that Xu Wennuan was staring at, and their eyes met.

Xu Wennuan's lips parted slightly. Compared to her subtle reaction, not even a ripple surfaced on Lu Bancheng's expression, but there was still a smile hanging on the corner of his lips from when he had been talking to the man beside him.
