Chapter 070: had other thoughts

Lu Xiangdong finally felt that Su Mianmian was useful. The shelter she pointed out was a small wooden house.

"Chengwu Su, how were you so sure that there would be a house nearby?" Lu Xiangdong entered the house and picked up a towel from the washing rack to dry off his body.

Su Mianmian buried her head in her wet hair and thought about it. She had used the principles of deduction to come to this conclusion. Since the fisherman had parked a boat nearby, he would have built a temporary rest house nearby to avoid encountering a situation like theirs.

"The logic is very simple. Find the laws of nature."

Lu Xiangdong nodded his head in praise. "Stewardess Su, your words make sense."

Now was not the time to play tricks. Her stomach was growling.

"Captain Lu, if the fisherman planned to stay here for the night, do you think he would put food here?" Su Mianmian took off her wet clothes. She swayed back and forth in front of him.

Lu Xiangdong seized the opportunity to sneak a peek at her. She was naked, trying to seduce him.

"I guess fishermen don't eat these," he pointed at the two lumps on her chest and smiled flirtatiously.

Su Mianmian threw his wet shirt on his head. "Eat your head, I'm talking serious business with you, don't change the topic for me."

Lu Xiangdong pulled the shirt off his head and started a fire to dry his clothes.

"You can look around, maybe you'll find food left behind by the fisherman."

Su Mianmian gave him her wet clothes so that he could dry her clothes at the same time.

She found two sweet potatoes and a few rotten apples in the corner of the cabin.

Su Mianmian touched her chin and thought about how to make use of what little resources she had left.

Half an hour later.

She roasted the sweet potatoes and sliced the apples. She placed them on the wooden table. It was a simple and shabby meal.

Lu Xiangdong frowned and looked at the little food left in the bowl. He then looked at her and asked, "Isn't it a little too little? And it's all sweet."

Su Mianmian picked up a roasted sweet potato, peeled off the skin, and took a bite. She said satisfied, "You don't have to eat it, but in this kind of weather, even if the rain stops, you might not be able to find a store. So for now, this will be the best tonic to replenish your strength."

"You make sense, but I still have no appetite." Unlike her, he was picky and would not accept just anything. He wouldn't touch anything unremarkable or unhygienic.

Su Mianmian knew what he was thinking. A man who couldn't even accept hotpot and skewers was being forced to eat roasted sweet potatoes.

"Can you accept the apples? The fruits are quite clean." She pushed the apples in front of him and let him eat the apples while she took care of the roasted sweet potatoes.

Lu Xiangdong touched his belly and reluctantly took a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth.

Su Mianmian saw him frowning as he ate. She really didn't have the heart to say that the apples were actually not as clean as the roasted sweet potatoes, because two of the apples were rotten.

After barely eating enough to fill her, Su Mianmian lay on the wooden bed that the fisherman had built himself. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The rain outside showed no signs of stopping.

Lu Xiangdong sat on a chair and flipped through the map that the fisherman had left behind.

He pointed at a location on the map and said, "After the rain stops, we can go to this location to buy a few clean clothes. Then, we can go here to drink something. We'll try to rush back tomorrow afternoon."

She pursed her lips and placed her hands on her abdomen. She answered with her eyes wide open, "This is just empty talk. We'll talk about it after the rain stops."

"Okay, you take a rest first. I'll call you when the rain stops." Lu Xiangdong got up and walked towards the door. He crossed his arms and stood on the door railing. He stared at the rain outside in a daze.

Su Mianmian propped up her chin and looked at him.

Was there something on his mind? He was rich and powerful now, there was nothing else worry about.

The rain finally started to subside. Su Mianmian had slept for the whole afternoon and felt energetic.

Lu Xiangdong walked towards her. "Get ready. It's time to leave."

"Okay." Su Mianmian put on her clothes and walked out of the small wooden house with him.

It turned out that they had arrived at a small town, this place was relatively remote and desolate. They walked through several alleys before they found a shop that sold clothes.

Su Mianmian went in and picked out a dress. The dress was very cheap and of average quality, but the style was still pretty good.

Lu Xiangdong bought a t-shirt and a pair of short jeans.

The two of them changed into the new clothes in the shop and felt refreshed.

The two sets of clothes only cost a few hundred yuan in total, and the money was from Lu Xiangdong's pocket.

"Boss, is there anything good to eat around here?" Before Su Mianmian left, she didn't forget to get close to the shop owner. The shop owner enthusiastically told her that there were many snack shops nearby and told them to walk along an alley where they would see many restaurants.

He had been right, there was indeed a lot of food nearby. Su Mianmian pulled Lu Xiangdong into a noodle shop.

Lu Xiangdong ordered a bowl of beef noodles while Su Mianmian ordered a bowl of fat intestine noodles.

"Are you full? I'm full, so I'm going to pay the bill."

Su Mianmian picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of soup. She wiped her mouth with satisfaction. "I'm done eating."

"Okay." Lu Xiangdong reached into his pocket for his wallet. Suddenly, he asked her with a strange expression, "Did you bring your wallet out?"

Su Mianmian shook her head.

His expression was very serious. "I think I dropped my wallet."

...

Su Mianmian thought he was joking.

"Check your pocket again to see if there are any other cards or things like that." Su Mianmian checked her pocket and could not find any money.

Lu Xiangdong was very sure that his wallet had dropped. It would have dropped at the place where he had changed his clothes.

"I really dropped it. I'll call my assistant to send the money over." Lu Xiangdong had never been so embarrassed before.

Su Mianmian nodded.

After the assistant received Lu Xiangdong's call, he drove over to look for them.

"President Lu, I've already paid. You're going to the hospital with me now. The chairman is sick." After the assistant paid the bill, he walked over and stood in front of Lu Xiangdong.

"Sick? What happened?" Lu Xiangdong looked at the assistant as he walked.

The assistant looked embarrassed. "President Lu, actually, the chairman didn't want me to tell you that he was sick, but I felt that I was hiding it from you. I felt guilty, so I decided to tell you about it. I hope you can go to the hospital to visit the chairman."

Lu Xiangdong told him to stop talking and go straight to the hospital.

He asked Su Mianmian, "Do you want to go home, or do you want to go somewhere else? I'll get my assistant to send you there first."

Su Mianmian shook her head. "I'll go to the hospital with you. I have nothing to do anyway."

Lu Xiangdong nodded and asked his assistant to drive to the hospital quickly.

After getting into the car, Su Mianmian stole a glance at him, he looked deep in thought. He lowered his head and bent over. One of his hands was pressed on the bridge of his nose. He wasn't moving at all.

"Captain Lu, are you asleep?"

"..."

"Captain Lu, you're very depressed today."

"Su Mianmian, what exactly are you trying to say?" He raised his head and placed his hands on his legs. When he met her gaze, his eyes looked sad.

Su Mianmian chuckled. "You're quite concerned about him, aren't you? Captain Lu, perhaps you didn't realize it yourself. In fact, you're a person who values relationships. If Chairman Lu knew that you were so concerned about him, he would probably be very happy."

Lu Xiangdong looked at her with a faint smile. "You know me so well? Then you must know what I'm thinking right now."

"You're thinking that he's your only family member. No matter how many misunderstandings there were before, you're willing to forgive him. You only hope that he can live longer." Su Mianmian smiled.

Lu Xiangdong's expression changed. He turned his head away, looking extremely awkward.

What she said was right. That was indeed what he was thinking in his heart.

He pursed his lips. He looked very sexy when he was serious.

"CEO Lu, we're at the hospital." The assistant's voice pulled Lu Xiangdong back to reality. He nodded lightly, pushed open the door, and got out of the car.

Su Mianmian got out of the car with him and followed him into the hospital.

"What exactly is wrong with him? Did the doctor say that he needs surgery or medication?" Lu Xiangdong turned his head to ask the assistant. The assistant looked at him and answered, "Heart disease. The doctor suggested that he take medication."

"Okay."

Lu Wenzhong did not know that Lu Xiangdong was coming. He lay on a bed and read the newspaper. The doctor suggested that he should stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation. Since he had nothing to do, he decided he would read the newspaper to pass the time.

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and Lu Xiangdong and his group walked in.

Lu Wenzhong put down the newspaper and looked at the few people who came in with a surprised expression. He put his reading glasses aside and asked his assistant, "What's going on? Didn't I say that you're not allowed to come in and disturb me?"

The assistant smiled awkwardly and said, "Chairman, I brought young master here to see you. What do you want to eat later? I'll buy it for you."

Lu Wenzhong waved his hand and said, "Anything."

The assistant took the opportunity to leave the ward, leaving Lu Xiangdong and Su Mianmian in the room.

Lu Xiangdong glanced at him and said awkwardly, "If you're not feeling well, take a good rest. Don't worry about the company's matters for now."

Lu Wenzhong was stunned for a moment. How long had it been since he heard his son speak to him in such a caring tone? For a moment, he wasn't sure how to continue the conversation. He sighed softly.

Seeing that the father and son were in an awkward situation, Su Mianmian quickly jumped in to help. "Chairman Lu, are you feeling better? Have you taken your medicine?"

Only then did Lu Wenzhong cast his gaze on Su Mianmian. He smiled and said, "Miss Su, you've reminded me that it's time to take my medicine."

Su mianmian quickly signaled Lu Xiangdong to get Lu Wenzhong's medicine and water. Lu Xiangdong took a bottle of medicine and a cup of water and handed it to Lu Wenzhong.

Lu Wenzhong took the cup of water and medicine and looked at Su Mianmian again. He had other thoughts about this girl.
