"That man just now was so handsome!" Yu Xiaoyi looked at Li Rongrong with excitement. "I'm so envious of you, being able to see him up close! I've never seen such a charming man!"
Li Rongrong was speechless. It was nothing to see him up close. They lived together every day.
"Li Rongrong, are you free now? Shall we have a meal together?" At that moment, the principal walked over with a beaming smile.
The principal invited Li Rongrong to follow him. The principal opened the car door for her. Lu Qinian was sitting in the backseat.
The principal sat in front and kept praising Li Rongrong to Lu Qinian.
Lu Qinian didn't say much during this period of time. The atmosphere in the car was extremely tense. Li Rongrong only heaved a sigh of relief when the car stopped in the reception room.
"Mr. Lu, these dishes are all your favorites. If they're not to your satisfaction, I can have them redone!" Li Rongrong tightly clenched her hands as she looked at the beautifully arranged dishes. They were all her favorite dishes. When did her preferences become his?
The principal pulled out a chair for Lu Qinian and then tactfully left the room.
Now, only Lu Qinian and Li Rongrong remained in the private room.
Li Rongrong had her head lowered when suddenly a bowl of pork rib soup appeared in front of her.
"Drink it," Lu Qinian said.
"I don't want to," Li Rongrong replied, pursing her lips.
After a moment, Lu Qinian sighed softly. "Are you still angry?"
For the past few days, Li Rongrong had been giving Lu Qinian the cold shoulder, so who knew he would suddenly appear at her school?
Lu Qinian picked up the spoon and said straightforwardly, "Shall I feed you?"
Li Rongrong was getting impatient and started to gulp down the soup. However, the soup was scalding hot, and tears started streaming down her face.
Lu Qinian hurriedly lifted her chin and said, "Open your mouth, let me see." Upon seeing that Li Rongrong's tongue was blistered from the burn, Lu Qinian's expression turned grave, and he immediately called for a doctor!
Lu Qinian said helplessly, "Vent your anger on me. Don't make things difficult for yourself."
Li Rongrong felt extremely wronged and said, "How could I dare to be angry with Uncle Lu?"
Lu Qinian was helpless. He watched her apply the medicine before returning to the company.
Li Rongrong was relieved. When she returned to the classroom, Yu Xiaoyi kept winking at her. "Tell me honestly, what's your relationship with that Mr. Lu? I saw him patting your head!"
Li Rongrong didn't expect her to have witnessed it and replied directly, "He... He's my uncle."
"He's your super strict and perverted uncle!" Yu Xiaoyi fell silent for a moment. "Rongrong, I take back what I said before... I think he's strict with you for a reason..."
Li Rongrong was speechless.
In the evening, when Li Rongrong returned home, she still felt uneasy. Perhaps it was her delayed rebellious phase or the accumulated frustration. Thinking about her classmates who had been beaten by Lu Qinian and her inability to stop him, she tried her best to avoid Lu Qinian. She stayed in her bedroom, watching a boring soap opera.
After looking at it for a while, she put down her laptop and got up to go to the bathroom. When she came out, Lu Qinian was standing beside the desk.
Li Rongrong didn't pay much attention and called out softly, "Uncle Lu."
"Does it still hurt?" Lu Qinian's dark eyes stared at her.
"It's much better..." Li Rongrong replied dryly.
"Seems like you're still a child..." Lu Qinian smiled, then picked up the notebook that hadn't been closed on the table, his eyes filled with a mischievous gleam.
Li Rongrong realized what it was, and her face turned red!
Lu Qinian raised an eyebrow. "Not bad writing."
Li Rongrong blushed, her cheeks turning crimson. "It was just something random..."
Lu Qinian was looking at what she had written, which happened to be some notes she had jotted down while casually discussing future partners with Yu Xiaoyi a few days ago.
"He should at least be like Uncle Lu, good-looking, with a pleasant voice, caring towards others, and a little bit domineering. Just like Uncle Lu, who takes care of everything for me..."
Each point on the list was based on Lu Qinian's standards! If she looked for a boyfriend based on these criteria, she would probably remain single for the rest of her life.
When Li Rongrong wrote it, she didn't think much about it, but now that the person it was about had seen it, she felt extremely embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Lu Qinian chuckled and said, "Let's go downstairs and have dinner. By the way, I see that you've finished writing this notebook. Let me help you put it away." He then took her notebook away.
Li Rongrong was speechless. Since she had already used it up and planned to throw it away, why did he treasure it like that? It was quite strange.
The next day, she went to school.
As Li Rongrong walked along the road, she overheard people whispering.
"A few bullies from Class 2 in Grade 12 dropped out of school. One of them had a father who is the finance director of a subsidiary company under the Lu Corporation. I wonder whom they offended, but the school no longer dared to keep them..."
"Although there are countless subsidiary companies under Lu Corporation, as long as you enter the Lu Corporation and have a semi-official position, it's already extraordinary! Who made Lu Corporation so powerful? But it's also good that those few girls were expelled. They always relied on their family's influence to bully others. I've been displeased with them for a long time..."
