Without responding, Guoguo noticed the empty cup in front of Lu Bancheng, bent down to pick it up, then walked into the kitchen with it. She quickly returned from the kitchen with the same cup she took from Lu Bancheng and a pink mug. She placed Lu Bancheng's cup back to where she had picked it up from and passed the pink mug to Xu Wennuan. "Please, have some water."
Xu Wennuan took the mug with both her hands and said, "Thank you."
Guoguo smiled at Xu Wennuan and, before she said anything, Lu Bancheng said, "Guoguo, get in the bedroom and blow-dry your hair. Don't catch a cold."
Guoguo responded with an unhappy expression, knowing that he was asking her to retreat to the bedroom so that Xu Wennuan would think they had an intimate relationship. Lu Bancheng frowned back at Guoguo and asked her again in a gentler way, "Be a good girl. Go blow-dry your hair."
