Qiu Mang lowered his eyes, wishing he could disappear into a hole. It turned out he had overheard it back at the hospital!
"He looked half-dead in the car just now, but he's much more awake now. Looks like he's alright." The man's voice was deep.
He casually picked up a towel and wiped his hands. "You've caught a chill, take a good bath. I'm going out now."
After Lu Yanting finished speaking, he pushed open the door and left.
Qiu Mang breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the door close behind her.
After Qiu Mang finished her bath, she realized there were no suitable clothes for her in the bathroom, so she took a men's bathrobe from the cabinet next to her and put it on.
The air conditioner in the room was already set to the desired temperature, and Qiu Mang walked to the bedside, preparing to lie down.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside, and Lu Yanting stood leaning against the door frame. Having traveled all night, Lu Yanting was also somewhat tired, with a hint of dark circles under his eyes.
He had already taken a shower and changed into the same bathrobe as Qiu Mang.
"Let's go out and get something to eat before we go to sleep."
"oh."
After a night of tossing and turning, Qiu Mang was indeed hungry.
The two walked into the restaurant, where several breakfast items were laid out on the table. The breakfast was mainly light, but it was a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, and very nutritious.
Qiu Mang was a little reserved and remained seated at the dining table without moving.
Lu Yanting glanced at her, then pushed a bowl of corn and pork rib porridge in front of her. "Eat up! After you finish breakfast, take your fever reducer later."
Qiu Mang then noticed that besides breakfast, there was also a box of fever reducers on the dining table.
"Mmm." Qiu Mang's voice was a little hoarse.
She picked up the white ceramic spoon, stirred it gently, and then lowered her head to drink the porridge.
The oversized bathrobe draped over her body, like a child wearing an adult's clothes. The neckline was loose, and her snow-white skin was faintly visible beneath it as she lowered her head slightly.
Lu Yanting's eyes darkened. He reached out, scooped a spoonful of strawberry jam, spread it on the bread, and took a bite.
After finishing breakfast, Qiu Mang felt that since she was staying at someone else's house, she should do something, so she got up to clear the dishes.
"Put it down!" the man's deep voice rang out.
"Huh?" Qiu Mang turned to look at him.
"You don't need to clean these things up. Just take your medicine and go to sleep," the man said.
“But I…” Qiu Mang began cautiously.
The man seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Don't think about those useless things. If you feel uneasy about owing me money, giving me more interest later is more practical than anything else! A cleaning lady will come to clean up in a bit, so don't worry about it."
"Oh." Qiu Mang nodded. As expected of a wicked capitalist, everything is driven by money.
After Lu Yanting finished speaking, he answered a phone call, sounding somewhat anxious. After hanging up, the man returned to the master bedroom.
Not long after, Lu Yanting came out, standing in front of her in a suit and tie.
The suit was impeccably tailored, perfectly outlining his broad shoulders and upright posture. The man's features were deep and defined, and his eyes held an innate elegance and arrogance.
Qiu Mang was stunned. Even though she didn't know the brand of the outfit, she could tell it was expensive.
"I'm a bit busy these days and won't be coming back to stay. If you need anything, just give me a call."
After the man finished speaking, he left without waiting for her reaction.
He was indeed quite busy today. The Lu family was in talks with a company in Haicheng about a collaboration. Haicheng sent people to inspect the business, and they wouldn't stay long. They specifically requested to see him before signing the contract. Lu Yanting had no choice but to rush back overnight.
After Lu Yanting left, Qiu Mang picked up the fever reducer on the table, swallowed it, and went back to her room to sleep.
She thought she would have trouble sleeping in an unfamiliar environment, but surprisingly she got a good night's sleep.
At six o'clock in the evening, Qiu Mang finally woke up. She was awakened by a knock on the door.
Qiu Mang was still a little dizzy. She stood up, put on a coat, and looked through the peephole. She saw a tall and handsome man standing at the door.
But it wasn't Lu Yanting!
Qiu Mang's heart tightened. She had seen many videos about women living alone being robbed in their homes, and her subconscious told her not to open the door!
But then she remembered that this was Lu Yanting's house, and perhaps they were just looking for Lu Yanting.
Thinking this way, she became less nervous. She was about to say that Mr. Lu was not home when the man outside the door spoke first.
"Is Miss Qiu here?"
Qiu Mang was stunned. They were looking for her? No way?
"Ms. Qiu, I am Mr. Lu's assistant. My name is Yan Kai. Mr. Lu sent me here. He asked me to buy you some food and daily necessities."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang immediately opened the door.
Yan Kai was standing at the door carrying several supermarket bags, and Qiu Mang quickly invited him in.
Yan Kai placed the items on the table. "Ms. Qiu, Mr. Lu asked me to tell you to remember to take your medicine and get some rest!"
"Okay, I understand."
After Yan Kai finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Mang, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Mr. Yan, please feel free to speak your mind!" Qiu Mang said.
Yan Kai took a deep breath. "Ms. Qiu, Mr. Lu has been quite busy lately. Please bear with him!"
Qiu Mang was completely confused. She was busy with her own things, so what did it have to do with her? She looked at Yan Kai, somewhat puzzled.
Suddenly, she covered her mouth with both hands. After thinking for a moment, she realized that Yan Kai saw a woman living in Lu Yanting's house. Could it be that he thought she and Lu Yanting... had that kind of relationship?
Qiu Mang was speechless. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Yan Kai had already reached the door. "Miss Qiu, please take good care of yourself. I'll be leaving now!"
Qiu Mang looked at the door that had been closed again, feeling somewhat helpless.
Forget it, who cares what he thinks! Fang Zheng and Lu Yanting aren't here right now; she's just staying for two days. She'll move out once she's better.
She walked to the table and looked at the pile of things Yan Kai had bought.
She opened one of the shopping bags and took out the contents: rice, meat, vegetables, fruit, and condiments.
She sorted everything out and prepared to put it in the kitchen. When she entered the kitchen, she realized that it was an undeveloped area with no signs of use, but there were pots and pans. Fortunately, she could still cook.
After putting the things away, she turned around and went into the living room to open the remaining bags.
It consists of everyday items, including women's skincare products, toiletries, pajamas, and slippers.
Finally, Qiu Mang held two packs of sanitary napkins in his hand and fell into deep thought. This was really thoughtful. It seems he has bought a lot of things for women and is quite experienced!
Regardless, since Lu Yanting let her stay and prepared food and supplies for her, she should at least call him to express her gratitude.
Thinking this, Qiu Mang hurriedly went back to her room to find her phone, only to discover that it was out of battery when she took it out of her bag.
She took out the charger and plugged in her phone. After charging for a while, she turned it on.
Apart from an official message that reads "You have entered Guangcheng, Guangcheng welcomes you," there have been no other phone calls or messages.
Qiu Mang smiled bitterly; she was indeed someone abandoned by the world.
She left alone last night with her suitcase. A young woman alone outside, and not a single person from her family called to check on her.
Qiu Mang suddenly laughed, a bitter laugh. She should have understood long ago, but she still couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps it was because she still lacked a sense of security and longed for love!
Holding the phone in my hand, it took me a while to remember that I was supposed to call Lu Yanting.
She found Lu Yanting's number and was about to dial it when she remembered that Yan Kai had said he was quite busy lately, so she exited her contacts.
After thinking for a moment, I sent him a WeChat message: "I have received the item, thank you Mr. Lu!"
It took Lu Yanting a long time to reply: "Thank you isn't just about saying it; have you thought about how to thank me?"
