As if to confirm Lu Ke's words, Huo Yuanchen called.

Wen Li glanced at the phone screen and did not take any further action.

Lu Ke very considerately pointed somewhere else and said, "You take it. I'll step aside and go see how the new studio is being renovated."

Wen Li hung up the phone in front of him.

She followed him and said, "I'll go with you."

Lu Ke glanced at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it okay not to answer the phone? As a person who has experienced this, it is best not to refuse the other party's call during the cold war after a quarrel."

Wen Li said nonchalantly, "I'll just have a quarrel if I answer the phone anyway. I didn't sleep well last night, and my head is buzzing right now. I don't have the energy to argue with him, so I'd better not answer it."

Lu Ke smiled and said nothing.

Just after looking at the new studio, I heated a cup of milk for Wen Li.

"You didn't sleep well, so don't drink coffee today. Drink some milk and take a nap if you want. It's your own studio, and no one will say anything to you."

Wen Li smiled at him gratefully, took the milk, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep today either."

Lu Ke looked at her seriously and asked, "Is it very noisy?"

Wen Li didn't say anything, but just hung his head, looking quite distraught, which was really pitiful.

Lu Ke was distracted and suddenly felt that this scene looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this was what Wen Li looked like when he first met her.

At that time, he followed Wen Yan to find his sister. He saw from afar a tall, beautiful girl with black hair sitting on the lawn. She lowered her head, revealing a large area of white skin on the back of her neck. She looked up at the sky every once in a while, then sighed heavily, and lowered her head in silence.

He couldn't help laughing, bumped his shoulder against Wen Yan, and said, "Your sister is very interesting."

Unexpectedly, Wen Yan said to him seriously, "Don't try to hit on my sister. She has no experience in love and is so pretty that she is easy to deceive. What if she falls in love with you? Your girlfriend is so fierce, my sister can't afford to offend her."

He didn't expect Wen Yan to be such a sister-loving man, so he couldn't help but become interested and asked, "Has your sister ever been cheated by a scumbag?"

Wen Yan frowned and said, "Not yet. But she is not very good at choosing men. The men she likes look down on her, and she is stubborn. I said I would introduce other men to her, but she refused. This girl, when will she turn back after hitting a wall?"

Lu Ke thought it was quite interesting. He thought at that time that the little girl was spoiled by her family, and after being thrown into society and being beaten by reality for a few years, her stubbornness was long gone.

But now, he knew that the Wen family had fallen into poverty, and that Wen Li had transformed from a little princess who was pampered by everyone in the family into a strong woman who had to support the family alone. He actually felt a little distressed.

It hasn't been easy for her along the way.

Maybe it was because of Wen Yan, he had treated Wen Li as his sister from the beginning. Seeing that she was worried, he couldn't help but reach out and rub her little head, and asked her in a low voice, "Would you like to talk to me?"

Wen Li was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him with a bewildered expression.

After a long while, she murmured, "But I don't know where to start."

There is a hint of cuteness in her distressed look.

Lu Ke couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, but then he remembered that Wen Li was still sad, and it would be unkind for him to smile at this time.

He quickly retracted his smile and said calmly, "Just say whatever comes to mind. This is not a report, so there is no need for conversational logic and skills."

Wen Li nodded in agreement, visibly relaxing.

She sighed heavily and said, "I'm so stupid. I always mess things up. In fact, he came to me last night with the intention of reconciling, but I was so angry that I didn't follow the way he gave me. Instead, I said a lot of things to deliberately provoke him."

Her words were so incoherent that Lu Ke couldn't understand them at all. But he could sense the emotion in her words, so he comforted her softly, "You are not an unreasonable person. If you said a lot of irritating words to him, it must be because he did something too much and hurt your heart. You couldn't stand it, so you said those words. It's not your fault, don't blame yourself."

Wen Li looked at Lu Ke in a daze.

She was too embarrassed to tell him that she was with Huo Yuanchen to get revenge on An Wen. For some reason, she couldn't let go in front of Lu Ke, and didn't want him to see her worst side.

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "He wrote another woman's name in the acknowledgments of his paper. He also took care of that woman's sister as if she were his own sister. When I went to visit him, his sister said she didn't want to see me, so he asked me to leave. I felt so bad that I even wondered if he would be nicer to me if it was me lying on the bed? If I asked him to drive the others away, would he do it?"

When Lu Ke heard her say that she hoped to get sick, he immediately made a few "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" sounds and muttered to himself , "The bad wishes will not come true, but the good wishes will come true. May you be free from illness and disaster, and live a long and healthy life."

Wen Li was amused by him and asked him, "Brother Lu Ke, what are you doing?"

Lu Ke said seriously, "Don't expect yourself to get sick at any time. Although I don't know the details of your relationship with him, just by listening to your description, I already feel that he is too much. You can't curse yourself to get sick just because it's his fault. You should think that it's a good thing that the person who got sick is not you. You are healthy and can see beautiful scenery, eat delicious food, watch movies, and enjoy beautiful things together. This is the happiness you deserve, and it's not worth giving up for anyone."

Wen Li sighed and said, "But I'm not in a good mood at all. From my perspective, I feel that I have been greatly wronged. Maybe for him, his good sister has also been greatly wronged."

Lu Ke comforted her and said, "Maybe he feels close to you, so he doesn't care about you, and he is more concerned about the feelings of the one who is more distant."

Wen Li frowned, "Is this still possible?"

Lu Ke said, "I'm just guessing. But if it were me, I would definitely stand on the side of my girlfriend. The closer she is to me, the more I would hate for her to be wronged. It doesn't matter if it's an outsider, because I won't spend my whole life with an outsider anyway."

Wen Li was silent.

The reason why Huo Yuanchen didn't care about her feelings at all was probably because he didn't plan to spend his whole life with her.

Because he had never planned it, she was always an outsider in his eyes.

As Wen Li thought about this, he felt that his future was getting more and more bleak.

She sighed heavily, held her face in her hands, and asked Lu Ke with a worried look on her face, "Is there any way to make him care about me more? When his sister and I have a conflict, will he be more willing to stand on my side?"
