Lu Bancheng could not reconcile with this, and it surfaced in his heart gradually . He never knew that he had such dark thoughts so deep down in his bones .
Since she cannot love me, then she might as well hate me . Since hate is also a feeling, it's better than indifference, isn't it?
As this thought crossed his mind, Lu Bancheng's gaze suddenly landed on Xu Wennuan . “Move out of my house . ”
Xu Wennuan stopped in her tracks and stood with her back facing him awkwardly without saying a word .
“If there is a need on the parents' end of the deal, I will contact you . ” Lu Bancheng stared at Xu Wennuan's back for some time without blinking . He found it difficult to face her level-headedness and calmness, so he shifted his eyes away before speaking again .

“Because we're all adults, we have our adult social circles . This will save me the inconvenience when I need to return home…”
After a pause, Lu Bancheng added, “Like last night . ”
The room was silent for a minute before Xu Wennuan turned around and gave him a clearcut word of reply with a calm expression on her face . “Alright . ”
Lu Bancheng's lips twisted up into a sneer upon seeing how straightforward she was .
Yes, back then, I was the one who asked her to move into my home based on the fact that I had given her a million dollars .
She had been completely against living in my home, but acquiesced . Now that I've asked her to move out, her heart is probably jumping with joy .
Lu Bancheng now wasn't so sure if he was making life difficult for her—or difficult for himself . Clearly, the more he had been throwing obstacles in her way, the more terrible he had felt each time, and yet he still said, “Alright, then . Pack up your things tomor—”
“It's alright . ” Before Lu Bancheng could finish his words, Xu Wennuan interrupted him in a low voice . “I will pack up and leave now . ”
Lu Bancheng nodded his head a few times before he eventually managed to say, “Good . Remember to clear everything at one go . I do not wish to see you return here to get your things anytime out of the blue . ”
Xu Wennuan did not respond and walked back into the guest bedroom .
Sometime later, Lu Bancheng heard the sound of luggage being unzipped . Following that, he heard the sounds of cabinets and trunks being overturned . He stood in the living room and listened for some time before he bent down and picked up the paper bag that she had placed on the floor earlier on . He then entered the master bedroom .
He closed the door and laid on his back on the bed as he stared fixedly at the ceiling . He had not slept at all the previous night and was truly exhausted . Yet still, he could not fall asleep .
After a long time had passed, he could hear the sound of luggage being dragged outside of the front door . His hands trembled beside him on his bed . He maintained his position and remained motionless .
He then heard the sound of the shoe cabinet being pulled open to get her shoes . Lu Bancheng shut his eyes, and his fingers dug hard into his bedsheets .
The door was pushed open again and then closed shut .
It was completely silent now, and Lu Bancheng felt as if his heart was suddenly hollowed out . He raised his hand to clutch his chest and remained in a silent daze for some moments before he got up and walked over to the window barefooted .
Through the window, he saw Xu Wennuan drag two pieces of luggage out of the building's exit . She struggled greatly moving in a straight line because her luggage was so heavy and she was carrying so many other bags . Some time after her silhouette had disappeared into the shadows, Lu Bancheng lowered his head and looked at his feet . After a moment, he turned and walked back into his bedroom, grabbed his car keys, and left the apartment .
When Lu Bancheng drove out of the underground parking lot and was prepared to make a left turn, he caught sight of Xu Wennuan through his rearview mirror . She was seated on her luggage and making a phone call with her head lowered .
