“Little Peanut?” Is she talking to Xiao’ai?
Lu Bancheng then heard Xu Wennuan talking again. “Okay, I gotta go. Sothing urgent I have to handle.”

By the ti he returned, it was already sumr in Beijing, notable by the hot, steamy evening that enveloped him when he exited the airport.
On his way ho, Lu Bancheng drove past two car accidents, making the already congested traffic even worse. By the ti he made it to downtown, it was already 10 o’clock at night. Wanting to sleep in the next morning, he stopped at a restaurant to grab so dinner and then went by his office to tend to so urgent docunts that had been waiting for his attention while he was gone. After those matters were settled, he finally headed ho.
After parking the car and entering his apartnt building, Lu Bancheng took the elevator to the 12th floor. On his way up, he received a ssage from his mother and, when the elevator door opened, continued texting her back while walking out and to his apartnt door. Standing at the door and entering the passcode, he heard soone say, “Lu Bancheng.”
He froze for a full minute before he turned around to the person calling him.
