Chapter 390 A small wish was not fulfilled
"What do you know?" Qiao Luo asked, puzzled.
Lu Tingnian did not answer immediately, but paused before saying, "I know you didn't take that check at all."
His tone was very certain, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had already known everything.
Qiao Luo wasn't surprised. If he really thought that way about her, it meant he didn't understand her at all.
However, she was still somewhat curious.
"How...how did you know?"
Lu Tingnian: "I guessed."
"A guess? Aren't you afraid of guessing wrong?" Qiao Luo said.
Lu Tingnian thought to himself: You don't even want what I give you, so why would you want what he gives you?
Thinking this, he said, "I'm afraid, afraid that you've been wronged and haven't told me."
He gazed intently at her.
Qiao Luo didn't say anything. She hadn't planned to tell him at first, but later she found out that he already knew and had done so much for her.
That's why she chose to speak out.
"You didn't tell me either."
She scoffed lightly.
Lu Tingnian asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Luo: "What do you think?"
She looked at him.
Lu Tingnian seemed to realize then that she was referring to those business matters.
He said, "Those are insignificant. Besides, I only provided them with an option for a partner. Ultimately, it's their decision whether or not to cooperate."
The implication is that it has nothing to do with him.
Qiao Luo didn't believe it. After all, those companies had excellent qualifications, even better than the projects that had failed before. They could be considered high-quality alternatives to those projects.
She believed that their magazine was not the best choice, after all, there were many magazines in the industry that were better than theirs.
If it weren't for Lu Tingnian's influence, she probably wouldn't have gotten a chance.
However, since he is unwilling to admit it, why should she expose him?
So she said something with a hidden meaning.
"So you mean it has little to do with you?"
Lu Tingnian: "..."
"You could say that."
Qiao Luo: "..."
"Alright, it seems I don't need to thank you specially."
she said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian was taken aback. "What is this special thanks you're referring to?"
He was very interested.
Qiao Luo: "I was originally planning to go to a hot spring with someone once my foot was healed, but it seems that's not necessary now."
Lu Tingnian: "..."
Did he suffer a huge loss?
However, despite saying that, Qiao Luo still made an appointment with Lu Tingnian to go to the hot springs on the day her foot injury healed.
A few days ago, a newly signed business partner gave her two vouchers for a hot spring hotel, and she had been thinking about going to try it out with Lu Tingnian.
So, that day she told Lu Tingnian about her idea of going to a hot spring together.
Lu Tingnian was naturally more than happy to do so. After all, ever since he married Qiao Luo, he had always wanted to take her out for fun, but he had no choice but to pretend to be sick and poor at the beginning.
But things are different now. He has returned to normal, and even if Qiao Luo hadn't brought it up, he would still have planned it.
This is perfect, it's like we've come to the same conclusion by chance.
Thinking this through, he agreed, "It's a rare vacation, so let's go and have some fun for a couple more days, what do you say?"
Qiao Luo also wanted to stay longer, but unfortunately she had too much work lately, and this experience at the hot spring hotel was also part of her work assignment.
Thinking this through, she said, "Let's see."
Hearing her say that, Lu Tingnian didn't say anything more, and the two set off early the next morning.
The hot spring hotel is located in the eastern suburbs of the city, about an hour's drive away.
When the two arrived, the hotel staff were waiting there and rushed forward to greet them.
"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, this way please."
Qiao Luo initially thought they were coming for her, since she was here to cooperate with the hot spring hotel and it was a substantial inspection. However, the staff who greeted them called her Mrs. Lu.
This shows that they were after Lu Tingnian.
Qiao Luo's feelings were somewhat complicated at that time. She had originally planned to bring Lu Tingnian to experience it, and although she knew that he would not lack such experiences given his status, she still wanted to give it to him within her power.
But unexpectedly, even this small wish fell through.
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed.
So, after settling back into her room, when Lu Tingnian called her to go to the hot spring, she was somewhat uninterested.
"I won't go over there for now, you go by yourself."
After saying that, she lay down on the bed.
Lu Tingnian could tell she was throwing a tantrum. After all, he had known her for so long and was quite familiar with her temperament.
However, he wasn't quite sure what he had done to offend her.
Thinking this, Lu Tingnian walked over and sat down next to her, saying:
"What's wrong? Didn't you just say you wanted to soak in the hot springs to relax? Why don't you want to go now?"
As he spoke, he naturally lay down next to her.
Qiao Luo turned her back to him and ignored him.
Lu Tingnian stared at her angry little face and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Then I'll go first. However, I heard that this hotel's specialty is that the hot spring pools are shared by men and women, and there are many beautiful and alluring women to accompany you in the hot spring. If you're not going, I'll soak with them."
