Lu Tingnian was indeed somewhat dissatisfied, not with the issues Qiao Luo had mentioned, but with the single bed inside.

Although he can't do anything right now, the bed is really in the way.

He looked at Qiao Luo, "It's alright."

Although that's what she said, she had already subtly given Han Jian a hint.

Han Jian was quick to understand, and he immediately said, "I think this bed is a bit small, and it looks very hard. It definitely won't be comfortable to sleep on. How about this, I have a friend who sells furniture. I'll have him send over a better bed."

Han Jian was about to make a phone call when Qiao Luo stopped him, saying, "No need. This bed is actually quite nice. Although it's a bit small, it's still usable. There's no need to go to such trouble."

"It's no trouble at all, just a phone call away."

Han Jian went out to make a phone call without waiting for Qiao Luo's consent.

Qiao Luo wanted to stop him, but he had already left, so she had no choice but to ask Lu Tingnian for help.

"Um...wouldn't that be too much trouble for them?"

“No trouble at all, it’s his job,” Lu Tingnian said indifferently.

Qiao Luo: "..."

There's no such thing as being obligated or not; they don't owe you anything.

However, considering that this was his friend, she didn't say anything.

Before long, someone delivered a large double bed, and even some of the furniture in the house was replaced.

Qiao Luo couldn't lend a hand the whole time, so she could only watch silently.

After the workers left, she turned to Han Jian and said, "Thank you. How much are these? I... I'll transfer them to you."

Although I said this with some trepidation.

Han Jian quickly waved his hand.

"No need, these were all sponsored by my friends, consider them as wedding gifts for you."

"what?"

While Qiao Luo was still in shock, Han Jian had already received Lu Tingnian's urging him to get lost. He quickly said, "Um... it's getting late, I should go back too."

"It's lunchtime, why don't you eat before you leave?" Qiao Luo quickly urged them to stay, after all, they had been busy all morning.

Han Jian waved his hand repeatedly, "No, I have other things to do."

How could he dare? Didn't he see that President Lu wished he would just disappear into thin air?

Seeing this, Qiao Luo didn't dare to stop him any longer. She saw Han Jian to the door, but then remembered the question she hadn't dared to ask in the car earlier.

"Mr. Han, can I ask you something?"

Han Jian paused for a moment, then said, "Please speak."

"Well, you know his current situation, so I don't want to ask him directly. I just wanted to ask you what kind of people are in his family so I can be mentally prepared."

"Well... he's all alone at home now."

Han Jian dared not say anything more, for fear of giving himself away.

"what?"

Qiao Luo stood there stunned. Was it really that bad?

Is he all alone at home?

No wonder he reacted so strongly when I asked him in the car if he had told his family; it turns out he had touched on something painful.

Wouldn't that make her even more sinful, causing someone to be childless and without descendants?

Han Jian stared at Qiao Luo's increasingly heavy expression, somewhat puzzled. Had he said something he shouldn't have?

But Mr. Lu's family is indeed abroad, so he's all alone, isn't he?

Qiao Luo returned to the house in a sullen mood. As soon as she entered, she suddenly met Lu Tingnian's gaze, and she felt a little uneasy.

For some reason, she always felt that his gaze was fixed on her without any attempt to hide it. Coupled with the guilt she felt after learning from Han Jian that he lived alone, she felt uneasy and had nowhere to hide.

"Um... you must be hungry too, I'll go see if there's anything to eat."

She then hurriedly avoided him and went to the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, she searched the kitchen from top to bottom but couldn't find anything to eat. She then realized that she had been taking care of him at the hospital for the past few days and hadn't had time to buy groceries.

Qiao Luo felt a little embarrassed. She turned around and came to Lu Tingnian, saying, "...I forgot to buy food. How about we order takeout? What would you like to eat?"

Qiao Luo had just opened the food delivery platform.

The doorbell rings.
