Chapter 383 Take them all back
Qiao Luo bit her lip, looking a little angry.
Did she mean that when she said "don't want"?
"Lu Tingnian, are you bullying me because I can't walk?"
She bit her lip and stared at him.
Lu Tingnian knew she was angry, so he quickly said, "I'm not."
"Fine, now take back what you just said in front of me."
"Which sentence?"
Lu Tingnian didn't understand.
Qiao Luo: "Take back what you just said to me, that you would give me all the assets under your name."
Lu Tingnian was somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond; it cannot be taken back now."
Qiao Luo was speechless with anger.
"Fine, if you don't take it back, I'll get down on the ground and walk around to show you."
As she was about to lift the blanket and get out of bed, Lu Tingnian stopped her.
"I'll take it, I'll take it."
He had no choice but to compromise.
Qiao Luo: "Okay, then you can speak into my phone."
She turned on her phone's recording function. Thankfully, she was wise enough to charge her phone as soon as she got home.
Lu Tingnian had no choice but to follow her instructions.
"Louder!"
Qiao Luo was not satisfied, so she made him repeat it and record it again until the volume and the bald man's voice were clear before she was satisfied.
"Okay, I've recorded everything you said. I'm giving you one month to transfer all these assets back to your own name, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Lu Tingnian pressed for more information.
Qiao Luo bit her lip, her mind racing to find something she could use to threaten him, but she realized that there seemed to be nothing that could threaten Lu Tingnian.
But she finally steeled herself and said, "Otherwise, you can never come into my room again."
Lu Tingnian smiled.
"why are you laughing."
Qiao Luo felt a little guilty.
Lu Tingnian then smiled and said to her, "Okay."
"Then it's settled, and you... can't go back on your word."
Lu Tingnian nodded, "Okay, I won't go back on my word."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She finally got rid of that mountain in her heart.
When it was time to go to bed that night, Qiao Luo suggested that they sleep in separate rooms.
Lu Tingnian, however, refused.
"No, I can agree to anything else, but not this."
"Why? Didn't we agree beforehand that you could only come into my room after a month, once you've done everything you promised me? Are you trying to go back on your word?"
Lu Tingnian felt somewhat helpless.
He had only agreed to her request out of desperation, since she had threatened him with his foot injury.
But things are different now; he won't leave Qiao Luo to sleep alone.
"Anyway, I don't agree to separate rooms."
He was very persistent.
Qiao Luo then realized that confronting her head-on was not an option, because she was unsure about Lu Tingnian's style of doing things.
What would make him give in to her, and what would make him insist on something?
"Well... separate beds are fine, right?"
She pursed her lips and decided to settle for second best.
Lu Tingnian: "Even separate beds are not an option."
"So what do you want? I'm injured, and it's a foot injury at that. I need to rest. Are you really going to just watch my foot injury get worse?"
She brought up her foot injury again.
Lu Tingnian: "I will be careful."
"but I……"
"Okay, I promise I'll keep my distance from you when I go to sleep tonight."
After saying that, without even waiting for her to agree, he picked her up and headed upstairs to the bedroom.
Qiao Luo's resistance failed.
However, when they went to sleep that night, Lu Tingnian did keep his promise and did not get close to her, but maintained a proper distance from her.
Although Qiao Luo was still somewhat dissatisfied, she did not persist any further.
Perhaps after a bustling and noisy day, the sudden transition to the quiet of the night made her feel somewhat out of place; in any case, she couldn't sleep that night.
