Chapter 935 So, He’s Zero Degrees 5She walked forward with ease while wearing her high heels and approached the car window with the intention of knocking and letting Lu Bancheng know that she was there but, when she looked through the window and saw Lu Bancheng sitting in the driver’s seat, the back of his head was toward her, and he was in a daze while staring at the street outside.
Xu Wennuan couldn’t see his expression, but she could sense his loneliness and helplessness based on his posture. When she had received his phone call, she had felt his unhappiness, but she had not expected him to really be in a bad mood.
Xu Wennuan’s mood took a slight turn for the worse at this moment. She had not realized what was happening to her when Lu Bancheng turned his head rather bewilderedly, as though he thought that he had been waiting for too long. She quickly gathered her thoughts, raised her hand, and gave him a wave.
Lu Bancheng pushed open the door, stepped out of the car, and approached Xu Wennuan. She quickly opened her bag, retrieved the envelope, and handed it to him, saying, “Do count this.” Lu Bancheng lowered his gaze and looked at the envelope in her hands. He was not in a hurry to receive it.
She just returned to Beijing this morning, but she’s already in a rush to contact me and return me my money… She’s still the same person she was a year ago—She can’t wait to cut off all ties with me.
But what exactly was I expecting? All she did was ask me for help once in Lijiang. We’ve been strangers to each other the past year. Isn’t it only natural that this incident won’t change anything?There was a trace of tension between Lu Bancheng’s eyebrows. “Did you run into anybody when you came?”
Is he referring to Wu Hao? Is he nervous because he’s afraid that I overheard his conversation with Wu Hao and found out that he’s Zero Degrees?
Xu Wennuan was puzzled, but she acted like she didn’t know what was going on and shook her head at Lu Bancheng. “No,” she said. After a pause, she asked, “Why?”magic
Xu Wennuan carefully noticed Lu Bancheng exhaling in relief.
Indeed, he was afraid that I’d discovered his identity as Zero Degrees…
The words that he had said to Wu Hao suddenly flashed across her mind.
“Even though I’ve left her, I’m still guarding her.”
“I will use my initial identity and stay by her side in a virtual world where she doesn’t know about me.”
Is it because there’s too much unhappiness between me and Lu Bancheng’s real identity, so he can only use Zero Degrees’s identity to keep up with me? Is he afraid that I’d cut off all contact with him after learning that he’s the person behind Zero Degrees, which is why he’s been hiding that from me and actively finding excuses to reject my requests to meet up in real life?
