Cheng Meilin had no choice but to leave; given her status, it was no longer appropriate for her to remain there.
However, seeing Lu Jingheng personally taking care of her made her feel very unhappy.
She had to smile and say goodbye to Xu Rubao.
This feeling is like swallowing a fly—it's incredibly uncomfortable.
After everyone else left, Xu Rubao turned to the side. After drinking some water, she felt a little better and prepared to change to a more comfortable position to rest for a while.
Lu Jingheng looked at her but didn't seem inclined to speak to her. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Would you like something to eat? I'll have someone bring you something light."
"No need, thank you."
Xie still wanted to say something, but it seemed like he didn't have anything to say to him.
"Don't be shy with me, just tell me what you'd like to eat."
"No need, I'm fine and can take care of myself. You should go back and keep Miss Cheng and the others company."
She didn't want to take up too much of his time, nor did she want him to feel like he was trying to climb the social ladder.
Lu Jingheng suppressed his temper, but considering that she had just woken up, he decided not to get angry with her.
"They don't need me to accompany them. You can rest for a bit. I'll have someone bring some food over, and I'll call you when it arrives."
Lu Jingheng didn't care whether she wanted to eat or not; he had forgotten to ask her if she wanted water when she woke up.
Now, we must solve her food problem.
She hasn't eaten anything since she went missing last night, and of course, he hasn't eaten either.
Looking at her like that, I really couldn't eat.
Perhaps once the food arrives, she'll have an appetite after resting for a while.
If I don't eat, when will this injury heal?
Lu Jingheng took out his phone and asked someone to bring over some light food.
After hanging up the phone, I saw that she had closed her eyes. I didn't know if she wanted to rest or just didn't want to talk to me.
He knew he had misunderstood her and wanted to apologize, but she didn't even want to look at him, so Lu Jingheng swallowed back the words he was about to say.
About half an hour later, the food arrived, all freshly cooked and delivered immediately.
There was soup, porridge, some side dishes and snacks, all of which were relatively light in flavor.
Lu Jingheng opened the food box, glanced at her, and said, "Would you like something to eat? This chicken porridge is quite good."
With him here, how could Xu Rubao possibly get a good rest?
She could smell the aroma of the food as soon as the box was opened.
The fever has subsided, and although my body still aches, I'm definitely hungry.
"There are also dumplings, the kind you like with shiitake mushroom and pork filling, and xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). When you bite into one, the juice will definitely splatter out."
Xu Rubao was already hungry, and when she heard him describe it like that, she opened her eyes and took a look.
Looking at her, Lu Jingheng knew she was hungry.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and moved the table over.
"Be careful, let me help you."
"No need, I can manage on my own. A woman like me, who is fickle and loves to climb the social ladder, would only dirty your hands, Mr. Lu."
Hearing her sarcastic words, Lu Jingheng knew that she was still angry.
Oh well, I won't argue with her. As long as she's willing to eat it.
Xu Rubao slowly sat up, looking at the food on the table; she was starving.
She took a bite of the chicken porridge and found it delicious. Since she was hungry, she felt that anything would taste good.
Lu Jingheng stood to the side, watching her eat. This girl really has a good appetite now.
