Chapter 52: Put up for a Night
They had booked a hotel room, but it was a bit far from here. It would take them another half an hour to drive there.
Lu Xiu pinched the space between his eyebrows. It was really tiring today. They spent most of their time on the road.
The six of them were about to leave when they heard Cheng Xiao’s voice.
“Dad, Mom, it’s already so late, and it’s still raining outside. Why don’t we… let Mr. Lu and the others put up for a night here tonight?”
Cheng Xiao had been quiet for the whole night. She was actually holding back a big trick.
She was wearing a knee-length white long-sleeved nightgown. Her long hair was neatly spread over her shoulders, and her face was clean. If others saw her, they would definitely think that Cheng Xiao was a great beauty.
But in Lu Qi’s eyes, it was more pretentious.
Putting everything else aside, her hair was too neatly combed. One look and you could tell that it was deliberately groomed.
After being reminded by Cheng Xiao, Cheng Ming quickly patted his head, looking annoyed.
“Look at my head. It’s not as good as Xiao Xiao’s. Xiao Xiao is right. The nearest hotel is half an hour drive away from here. If Young Master Lu doesn’t mind, why don’t you stay here for a night?”
“I’ll get the nanny to clean the guest rooms. It’ll be very fast.”
It had to be said that although they didn’t want to deal with the Cheng family, this suggestion was still very tempting.
They were all too tired.
Lu Xiu and Lu Qi looked at each other tacitly, and Lu Xiu saw Lu Qi nod slightly.
“Since Mr. Cheng has invited us warmly, then we won’t decline. We’ll disturb you for a night.”
Cheng Ming heard this and beamed with joy.
If Old Master Cheng hadn’t fallen asleep long ago, he would probably be smiling even more happily than he was.
The head of the Lu family was spending the night in the Cheng family’s house. It was something worth bragging about. The outside world was already saying that the relationship between the Lu family and the Cheng family was very good. Now, this rumor would definitely be confirmed.
The Cheng family had finally gained face!
When Cheng Ming brought them back to the guest rooms, this was what he was thinking about repeatedly.
After sending them to the door, Cheng Ming tactfully left them alone.
There would be plenty of opportunities for them to meet tomorrow anyway.
The guest rooms of the Cheng family were all on the third floor. Lu Xiu and Lu Qi each had one, Lu Dong and Lu Xi shared one, and the other two shared one.
Lu Xiu was concerned about the outcome of the follow-up consultation. He didn’t even take a shower and went to Lu Qi’s room to ask.
Lu Qi looked like he was about to take a shower. He had already taken off his windbreaker and hung it casually on the handle of the chair. He was only wearing a white T-shirt.
Although Lu Qi had been ill for many years and his figure was thin, he was not the skinny type.
It could be said that he looked thin when he was dressed and had muscle when he was undressed.
Lu Xiu came in. He only took a glance at him before continuing to tidy up.
“How was the follow-up today? What did Cheng Ling say?”
He sat down on the chair. He finally could completely relax at the end of the day.
“It was pretty good. Cheng Ling said that my pulse has stabilized and become much stronger. She even gave me a new prescription. She said that if I take this prescription, I must resolutely abstain from alcohol.”
Hearing the favorable outcome, Lu Xiu felt that the a lot of tiredness of the day had been washed away.
“It’s just alcohol prohibition. It’s a small problem. If I can’t drink it, I’ll let Lu Dong and others drink.”
In the rooms next door, the four of them were so sleepy that they would fall asleep upon touching the bed. They suddenly sneezed one after another.
Lu Bei turned around and rubbed his nose. “That’s strange. Why did I sneeze all of a sudden? Do I have a cold?”
Lu Xiu then spoke again, “Cheng Ling is really amazing. We’ve traveled to so many places over the past few years and seen so many doctors. Her treatment is the most effective.”
“Aren’t you calling her Miss Cheng Ling? Why did you change to Cheng Ling now?”
Lu Xiu didn’t expect this and was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
“Yo, are you… jealous?” Lu Xiu teased.
After seeing Cheng Ling, Lu Qi felt much better. Now, he was joking with Lu Xiu.
“How dare you.”
“Are you really jealous?”
Lu Xiu was actually very happy to see the change in Lu Qi.
He was very clear about how Lu Qi had made it to where he was today. He had been through a lot of bloodshed along the way. Although Lu Xiu was the person-in-charge now to the outsiders, everyone respected and worshipped him.
However, he was still hiding under Lu Qi’s wings, blessed and protected by him.
He had seen Lu Qi’s courage, perseverance, and even cruelty.
However, after meeting Cheng Ling, Lu Qi revealed another side of his personality.
He was impulsive, happy, gentle, and even with a little jealousy.
