Lu Qinian didn't look up and continued to apply the medicine for her.
Li Rongrong scratched her head helplessly. "Why did you lie to me?"
"Rongrong, I won't let go of anyone who bullies you," Lu Qinian replied without commenting further.
Li Rongrong looked at the domineering and stubborn look in Lu Qinian's eyes and couldn't help but bite her lower lip. "Uncle Lu, I was all grown up, not a child anymore. I thought I had the right to make friends..." Under his control, she felt like she could barely breathe!
"Thank you for today," Li Rongrong thanked him in a low voice and ran upstairs.
Upon seeing this, Butler Bai couldn't help but interject, "Young Master, why didn't you tell Miss that it was that person who had ill intentions? He used the excuse of going home to trick Miss into getting a room. There were several men in the hotel. He was simply... You were kind enough not to take his life."
Lu Qinian coldly interrupted him, "Don't talk too much."
Butler Bai remained silent. The Young Master didn't want Miss to come into contact with the darkness and wanted to protect her forever. However, this would also alienate Miss.
Li Rongrong's hands and feet were still in pain, so she couldn't make any big movements. She couldn't even vent her anger!
"It's time for dinner, Miss," Mary said.
"I wasn't hungry..." Li Rongrong replied.
Mary pushed open the door helplessly and placed the food on the table. "Miss, your stomach wasn't good, so you had to eat three meals a day on time."
Before she came to Lu Qinian's side, she had been severely malnourished due to the Li family's abuse. Her stomach often hurt too. Lu Qinian had taken her to see doctors many times over the past few years. With careful nursing, her body was slowly recovering. Lu Qinian was really good to her. She didn't have the confidence to be angry with him...
After dinner, Li Rongrong couldn't sit still anymore. She went out to get a glass of water, only to realize that Lu Qinian's room wasn't lit.
"Young Master left, probably afraid that staying here would make Miss even angrier," Mary said. Upon hearing Mary's words, Li Rongrong tightly pursed her lips.
Thunder rumbled outside again. She was stunned. It was raining again. It had been raining heavily recently.
"When did he leave?" Li Rongrong asked.
"Not long ago. I watched you finish your dinner before he left..."
"Miss, where are you going?" Ignoring Mary's shouts, Li Rongrong grabbed an umbrella and ran out in a hurry! However, just as she ran to the door, she bumped into a hard chest.
Lu Qinian reached out to support her. "You're still injured. Why were you running so fast?"
Seeing the umbrella in her hand, his eyes darkened again. "It's very late and it's still raining heavily outside. Don't be willful." Lu Qinian thought she was going to run away from home.
"Young Master, Miss is looking for you..." As soon as Mary opened her mouth, Lu Qinian's face immediately turned dark. He, who was usually quiet and smiling, curled his lips at this moment.
Li Rongrong felt a little embarrassed. She was about to turn around when she suddenly saw the small potted plant in his hand.
"It wasn't easy for it to sprout. The rain is too heavy. I'm afraid it'll get wet..." Lu Qinian passed the potted plant to Mary and looked at Li Rongrong with a deep gaze.
Li Rongrong bit her lip, unable to utter any rebellious words at the moment. This potted plant had been given to her by him before, and she liked it very much. This person always left her at a loss.
At the award ceremony in First High School. The field was overcrowded.
"I heard that the founder of the Nianrong Scholarship is here too. He's even presenting the award personally this year! All the school leaders are standing at the side to welcome him. No one knows who he is!"
Yu Xiaoyi whispered, "Rongrong, you're the recipient of this scholarship. When you go on stage later, take a closer look and see if he's handsome!"
Li Rongrong helplessly replied, "Most of these people are old men. Why are you looking so intently...?" Among the people she had encountered, there was only one Lu Qinian. Not only was he young and handsome, but he also held a high position. But how many Lu Qinians were there in this world?
When the school leader called out Li Rongrong's name, she took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage under the gaze of the entire school.
Li Rongrong's grades were excellent. Ever since she entered high school, she had won every scholarship. Everyone was envious and jealous of her!
"Congratulations!" The principal smiled and congratulated her. Then, he spoke in an extremely respectful tone, "Please welcome Mr. Lu, the founder of the Nianrong Scholarship!"
Amidst the anticipation of the entire school and the respectful reception of all the school leaders, Lu Qinian slowly stepped onto the red carpet! He was dressed in a pure black suit. His black eyes were deep and dark, exuding a sense of coldness and restraint. He calmly ascended the podium, as if he stood at the pinnacle of all beings.
Time stopped at that moment. Li Rongrong was stunned.
Lu Qinian stood in front of Li Rongrong and received the trophy from the principal. His voice, low and melodious, resounded, "Congratulations, Li Rongrong."
