27: Chapter 27 Xu Wei Has an Unspeakable Secret

The two sides exchanged contact information.

After providing the address, Li Luo told the boss to have them deliver it quickly, as he had other things to do later.

The furniture store owner told them to go back first, and they would arrive shortly after.

The two returned home and waited for a while; the technician arrived and finished installing the bed quickly.

Li Luo looked at Xu Wei.

"You should buy a thinner quilt to cover yourself with later, and also buy an electric fan, otherwise it might be a bit hot at night."

Xu Wei smiled slightly and said.

"I have a quilt, I just need to buy an electric fan later."

"Alright then, I'll be leaving first."

Li Luo planned to install the air conditioner next time when she wasn't around.

Since he was renting it out to someone, the basic facilities still needed to be provided.

She was a young woman in a foreign Jiangning, so he should look after her as appropriate.

Xu Wei said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Let me treat you to a meal; you've been busy all afternoon."

"No need, I'll just go out and grab a bite to eat. You've been busy all day too, so get some rest early."

"Li Luo, there's no need to be polite. This meal is also to thank you for renting the house to me. Otherwise, it might have taken me several days to find one on my own, and I might not have even found one I was satisfied with."

"Besides, I need to eat too. Look, it's already past five o'clock."

Hearing her say that, Li Luo stopped refusing.

"Alright then! I saw a small restaurant outside the residential complex; we can just order a few dishes and eat there."

"Sure, let's go there."

Arriving at the small restaurant at the entrance, the two walked inside.

"Handsome Guy and Beautiful Lady, what would you like to eat? The menu is on the wall, take a look yourselves."

Seeing business arrive, the owner spoke up quickly.

Perhaps because it was a new residential complex, there weren't many people eating. When Li Luo walked in, he saw that only one table in front was occupied.

"Boss, one stir-fried meat, one stir-fried green vegetable, plus a luffa and egg soup, and two bowls of rice."

"Alright, Handsome Guy and Beautiful Lady, please take a seat inside. It'll be ready soon."

After the two went inside and found a seat, Li Luo looked at Xu Wei, who seemed to have something on her mind.

"What's wrong with you? You've seemed absent-minded all afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wei's expression changed, and she hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

Li Luo quickly said.

"I was just asking casually. If you don't want to say, you don't have to. I was mainly worried that you would feel uncomfortable keeping it bottled up; I didn't mean anything else by it."

Xu Wei didn't know how to bring it up. She had heard from her Best Friend that he was a multi-millionaire, so she was thinking about asking Li Luo to borrow some money.

Thinking this way, Xu Wei made up her mind and said.

"Li Luo, I want to tell you something, but you aren't allowed to lecture me!"

Li Luo was a bit confused—why would he lecture her for no reason? But he was still a little curious.

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

Xu Wei suddenly said in a low voice.

"Can you lend me 300,000?"

Li Luo was startled.

"Why do you need so much money!"

Xu Wei had no choice but to explain to Li Luo about the incident at home. "I'm not lying to you, you can ask Gu Yuqing."

"I will pay you back slowly; I really have no other choice."

Li Luo felt some sympathy for her as he listened; for a girl, encountering something like this was no different from the sky collapsing.

"Then, before you met me, how were you planning to resolve this?"

"Before I met you, someone said they wanted to keep me and would give me 360,000 a year, but he was eighteen years older than me, so I kept hesitating."

"I've been trying to find a solution for the past few days. If there was really no other way, I would have agreed to him. I didn't expect to happen to run into you today."

As she spoke, Xu Wei couldn't help but shed tears of grievance.

Looking at Xu Wei's tear-streaked face, her nose sniffing, she looked even more delicate and charming.

Hearing her say this, Li Luo understood a bit.

No wonder she didn't have money for rent, yet was still thinking about renting a place by herself.

So it turned out there might have been another man coming over to stay!

"How about this! Don't let that person keep you anymore; just let me do it instead. Let's just say I'm the one keeping you."

"And I'll add an extra 50,000 for you, making it 410,000 a year. How about that?"

"Ah! You want to keep me?"

"Why not? Regardless, I'm still better than that man who is eighteen years older than you, right? If you're going to let someone take advantage, you might as well let me." Li Luo glanced at her body after saying this.

Xu Wei was stunned. This man was so blunt, and he sounded like a scumbag, but at least he was an honest scumbag; that was much better than a hypocrite behind one's back.

He wasn't wrong, either. If she had to let someone take advantage, she might as well choose someone younger; she could get over that hurdle in her heart.

Having figured this out, Xu Wei asked embarrassedly.

"Then when can you give me the money? I need it urgently right now."

Hearing this, Li Luo understood that she had agreed.

His mood instantly improved. To be able to take in such a beauty was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before.

Li Luo thought for a moment and said.

"My money is all in the stock market right now and I can only take it out in a few days. If you're in a hurry, I can transfer 30,000 to you later so you can send it back first. How about that? I'll transfer the rest to you in three or four days."

Li Luo had just asked the system to check his balance, and he had a little over 40,000 left.

Originally, after driving for the morning today, he had 46,000, but he had spent over 5,000 on meals over the past few days and on the bed he just bought.

Xu Wei had just heard that the money couldn't be taken out for the time being.

She heard Li Luo say he would transfer 30,000 to her first, and give the rest in a few days.

She thought about it, and it shouldn't be a big problem. Later, she would send the money to the hospital account.

Once the hospital saw that money had been received, they should be more proactive regarding the patient.

Having figured it out, she said shyly.

"Okay."

"Alright then, I'll transfer it to you after we finish eating. How many days are you planning to stay here this time?"

Perhaps because a weight had been lifted from her heart, Xu Wei also relaxed.

"I originally planned to stay for three days, talk to that man in person, and then make a decision, before going back to see my mom. Since you are willing to help me, I don't need to keep his contact information anymore."

As she said this, she deleted the man's contact information in front of Li Luo.

After deleting it, Xu Wei continued.

"I plan to go back tomorrow."

Li Luo was a bit curious; did that man also live in Jiangning?

"I don't know specifically; he said to contact him when I came to Jiangning."

Although Li Luo didn't care that much about her keeping that person's contact information.

But seeing Xu Wei cut off contact with others in front of him made him feel quite satisfied.

"How about this, in a few days I'll go back with you to see your mom. Since you've become my woman, it's only right that I go over and visit your aunt."

Xu Wei was very moved when she heard Li Luo say this.

"Thank you, Li Luo. Then I'll stay here for a few days."

Li Luo teased.

"Since you are my woman, if I'm not good to you, who would I be good to?"

Xu Wei immediately blushed and didn't speak. At this moment, the owner brought the dishes over.

The two chatted about everyday life. As soon as the dishes were served, Xu Wei kept picking food for Li Luo, while she ate very little herself.

Li Luo was a bit speechless.

"I'm not a Young Master; you eat your own food. I'm not that delicate, and you don't need to do this in the future."

Hearing Li Luo say this, Xu Wei finally started to eat. Perhaps because her heavy heart had lifted, Xu Wei also ate two bowls of rice.

However, most of the dishes were finished by Li Luo. Li Luo originally wanted to order more, but Xu Wei said it was enough, so he didn't insist.

After finishing the meal, it was almost 6:30.

Li Luo didn't plan to drive the ride-hailing car today either; he decided to have a good rest for the day.
