Chapter 69 Moving into the Villa
At Lu Jingxiao's villa, Luo Zhiwei didn't want to get out of the car. She protested, "Lu Jingxiao, I want to go back to Rose Garden, not your villa. Take me back now."
Lu Jingxiao also remained silent with her: "I didn't say I would take you back to the Rose Garden. You need someone to take care of you now, and it's not suitable for you to live alone. So, if you don't let me know where you live, then I can only let you stay here."
He still had that arrogant look on his face, as if to say, "What can you do with me?" which gave Luo Zhiwei a bit of a headache.
"You..." Luo Zhiwei was a little angry. She couldn't hold back her anger: "You...you've gone too far!"
"I feel fine, really, Lu Jingxiao. Don't believe what Dr. Si said. I'm really okay. I can take care of myself."
"Luo Zhiwei, I'm allowing you to be discharged from the hospital. You promised, so listen to me."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Lu Jingxiao smiled with satisfaction, it seemed he remembered: "It seems you remembered, that makes things easier. Get out of the car, Aunt Wang has made you some pigeon soup, you can't let Aunt Wang down."
Luo Zhiwei got out of the car in a huff and slammed the door shut.
Lu Jingxiao didn't care, as long as the goal was achieved, he didn't care about the process.
When Wang Ma saw Luo Zhiwei and Lu Jingxiao, she excitedly went to greet them: "Oh my, young master and Miss Luo are back! Dinner is just ready. You can change your clothes and eat."
Luo Zhiwei immediately changed her expression and nodded gently and kindly: "Thank you, Aunt Wang. I... I'll go upstairs to change my clothes."
She turned to look at Lu Jingxiao and said irritably, "Mr. Lu, my luggage."
Lu Jingxiao was almost amused by Luo Zhiwei's antics. You could say she's obedient, yet she's all bared her teeth and claws right now; but if she's disobedient, she's come in obediently again... What a contradictory person.
"You haven't washed any of your clothes except for your underwear. Are you sure you want to wear them?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Shut up.
I should have waited for Ranran to pick me up outside the hospital.
Lu Jingxiao said in a kind voice, "All the women's clothes in the room you stayed in before are yours. You can change into whichever one you want. I've already had Wang Ma wash them all."
Luo Zhiwei felt as if her heart had been struck by something, and she nodded stiffly, "Oh, I...I understand."
She went upstairs without looking back, but as she passed the stairs, she saw the wedding dress placed in the living room, being carefully cared for. Luo Zhiwei stopped and turned back towards the wedding dress.
She stood in front of the wedding dress, pausing for a long time before turning to look at Lu Jingxiao: "Thank you."
Lu Jingxiao gave a haughty hum and walked briskly toward Luo Zhiwei: "Just a thank you is enough?"
The wedding dress is missing many diamonds and pearls, and even the skirt is torn and the train is badly damaged. Repairing it will not be easy.
Fortunately, the designer who made the wedding dress for Aunt Luo is still around, and the company is still there, so he found someone to come to the villa to repair it... These past few days, while Luo Zhiwei has been hospitalized, people have been taking care of these things at the villa.
Luo Zhiwei looked closely at the wedding dress in front of her, her heart filled with mixed emotions: "Lu Jingxiao, you had someone come to repair it?"
"Yes." Lu Jingxiao readily admitted, "While you were hospitalized these past few days, someone was repairing this wedding dress at home. It was arranged a long time ago, and they only came over these past few days."
He continued, "Don't touch it yet. You need to wait a few days. The repair process is quite complicated..."
Luo Zhiwei nodded obediently, a rare occurrence for her: "Okay." She looked at Lu Jingxiao with a conflicted expression: "Thank you. I don't know what I can do for you, I..."
Lu Jingxiao tapped Luo Zhiwei's forehead in an annoyed tone: "What do I need you to do for me?"
"Luo Zhiwei, if you really want to thank me, then stay here and let me take care of you... Let Wang Ma take care of your daily life. You need to recuperate properly, Weiwei, I'm worried about leaving you alone."
Luo Zhiwei slowly lowered her head. She didn't dare to meet Lu Jingxiao's gaze; his eyes were too clear and too affectionate.
She didn't know what to do.
Lu Jingxiao took another step forward, gently cupping Luo Zhiwei's cheeks in his hands, forcing her to look him in the eye. His voice was deep and gentle: "Promise me, okay?"
Luo Zhiwei nodded as if possessed: "Mm."
Lu Jingxiao smiled with satisfaction. Luo Zhiwei had agreed, so everything would be much easier.
Baby, come back to me and don't even think about running away. I won't give you another chance to leave me.
"Good girl," Lu Jingxiao coaxed softly, "Go upstairs and change your clothes, then you can come down and eat."
Luo Zhiwei obediently replied, "Okay."
It wasn't until Luo Zhiwei returned to her room that she realized she had been a little too obedient and compliant.
Luo Zhiwei snorted coldly and began to change her clothes while cursing.
She found a comfortable set of casual clothes to cover up her scars before obediently going downstairs. As she passed the stairwell, she couldn't help but glance at the wedding dress.
Lu Jingxiao noticed this small detail immediately, stepped forward slowly, and took Luo Zhiwei's hand: "If you like it, I'll have someone deliver it to your room in a couple of days and leave it outside... If someone comes and damages it later, it'll be a waste. If it's left in your room, you can look at it whenever you want."
Luo Zhiwei didn't speak, but simply nodded, her heart filled with gratitude.
Lu Jingxiao, please wait for me.
"Aunt Wang has served you a bowl of soup. Drink more. You've become so thin after staying in the hospital for a few days."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
This man knows how to ruin the mood.
She protested in a low voice, dissatisfied: "A girl being thin is considered slender, can't you even speak properly?"
"No, you're just as skinny as a stick, you need to eat more to make up for it."
Girls don't need to be slim; health is the most important thing. Having a little bit of meat on your body is the best. The beauty standard of being pale, thin, and childlike is really distorted. Is this something to be proud of?
People who are too thin are so fragile that they can break their bones if they get hit, and they feel insecure at all.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
"Luo Zhiwei, don't be unconvinced. You were already thin enough before you were admitted to the hospital. If you lose any more weight, do you want to die? Take good care of yourself with proper nutrition."
Just as Luo Zhiwei was about to speak, Lu Jingxiao cut her off: "Medicinal supplements or dietary supplements, you have to choose one. You choose."
He continued to intimidate Luo Zhiwei with a sinister tone: "I've inquired about traditional Chinese medicine. If you're looking for tonics, Chinese medicine is the most suitable. In your case, the dosage needs to be increased, making it even more bitter, and you'll have to take it for about a year... Which one do you choose?"
Luo Zhiwei twitched her lips, then pretended to be nonchalant and walked towards the kitchen: "Wang Ma, thank you for ladling soup for me, I'll drink it now."
As for medicinal supplements, that's out of the question. She can't stand any Chinese medicine. Food supplements are just fine for her.
Lu Jingxiao looked at Luo Zhiwei, who had been 'scared away', and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He then followed her.
During the meal, Luo Zhiwei couldn't help but ask, "President Lu, can I go back to work? I think I'm almost fully recovered."
President Lu...
Those two words are really jarring.
Lu Jingxiao put down his chopsticks and looked at Luo Zhiwei seriously: "Secretary Luo, the Lu Group doesn't need another employee like you. There's no need for you to work so hard for me."
Luo Zhiwei: "...I just want to pay you back 60 million as soon as possible."
