Paranoid Doctor Only Loves Me-Chapter 39 - 0 Always thought Doctor Lu was above worldly

“No worries, take them, enjoy at your leisure.”

“Then, I’ll gratefully accept.”

“You’re welcome.”

Lu Han managed to drive into the parking space behind the dormitory building without any problem.

Only after Lu Han took the items out of the trunk did Tang Su notice that he had brought along so many things.

“Doctor Lu, why are you being so polite?” Tang Su saw the gifts and realized that despite Lu Han’s busy work schedule, he still found time to buy these house-visit presents. She was truly touched by his thoughtfulness.

“It’s not about being polite; it’s necessary. Lead the way.”

“Sure, this way, please. My parents’ home is on the third floor of building three over there.” Tang Su gestured towards the front.

“You go ahead.”

“Okay.”

Tang Su turned around to lead the way. Lu Han was visiting today in the capacity of Su Ruoan’s junior, not as Tang Su’s suitor.

Therefore, walking side by side was somewhat inappropriate.

Although Lu Han belonged to the new generation, his thinking was still somewhat traditional and conservative.

It couldn’t be helped; he was the late child of his elderly father. His mother adored and respected his father, so the values instilled in him tended to lean towards tradition and conservatism.

He avoided casual contact with the opposite sex, and he was always very mindful of propriety in his speech and actions.

He was just abiding by family rules, unaware that in the eyes of others, he had become the “lofty flower” they talked about.

“Tang Bao, is this your neighbor from across the hall, your ‘little uncle’?” Tang Su’s neighbor from downstairs, who had been watching from the balcony for some time, specifically came down to greet Tang Su.

Earlier that day, Tang Su’s mother, Su Ruoan, had been busy preparing a sumptuous dinner, thinking that they were going to entertain their daughter and her prospective son-in-law. However, it turned out the couple was actually playing matchmaker for someone else.

The gossip-eager neighbors took the initiative to drop by the Tang Family for a chat and later learned that Su Ruoan was there to facilitate matchmaking.

What Su Ruoan didn’t divulge was that her girlfriend, who in fact was the stepmother married to the director of their hospital, didn’t have children of her own. However, the director had a rather haughty daughter from his late first wife.

The hospital director had two children with his first wife, a son and a daughter. While the son had married a few years ago, the young couple had yet to bless the director with grandchildren.

As a father-in-law, the hospital director found it awkward to urge them, and Su Ruoan’s friend, being a stepmother-in-law, had even less standing to press the issue.

The director’s daughter was approaching twenty-eight, and soon thirty, so he was genuinely worried. He often complained to his wife, who would then share her troubles with her close friend, Su Ruoan.

Initially, Su Ruoan’s friend had her sights set on Tang Feng, Su Ruoan’s eldest. However, Su Ruoan didn’t fancy the idea of marrying into the director’s family.

She also didn’t want the relationship between herself and her girlfriend to become overly complicated, so she declined the proposition.

She and Old Tang only hoped their son would eventually marry a virtuous woman, dignified and graceful, where the couple would treat each other with mutual respect, none overpowering the other.

In Su Ruoan’s view, whether it was a woman clinging to a man or a man fawning over a woman, neither was a normal, healthy relationship. Only a marriage built on mutual respect and support was considered normal and healthy.

In Su Ruoan’s eyes, Lu Han was different from Tang Feng; Lu Han was outstanding and more than a match for the daughter of President Jiang, certainly surpassing Tang Feng.

The key point was, she wanted her daughter to give up on Lu Han as soon as possible.

Lu Han was not from Hua City. Su Ruoan respected her daughter’s love and marriage choices, even granted her the right to choose her own marriage, but there was one condition—she did not accept Tang Su marrying far away.

Anything else was negotiable—as long as it was a man from Hua City or someone from outside who was willing to settle down in Hua City, she believed they were good enough for Tang Su to choose from.

Lu Han was definitely not going to stay in Hua City. Her teacher had let it slip once, and although she hadn’t pressed further, she remembered it firmly.

This was why she would rather promote such an outstanding man as Lu Han to other girls than let her daughter get involved with him because he was unsuitable for Tang Su.

If Tang Su truly fell for Lu Han, and by some stroke of luck she managed to win him over, the likelihood of Tang Su marrying far away would certainly increase drastically.

She and Old Tang were both unwilling to face the prospect of their daughter marrying far away.

So no matter how outstanding Lu Han was, if he intended to take away their daughter, he was absolutely unsuitable for the Tang Family.

“My mom told you that he’s my uncle?” Tang Su almost laughed out of exasperation.

“No, no, your mom just said he’s her junior brother, and also the neighbor from across your community. I thought you would have to call him ‘uncle’, that’s my misunderstanding, sorry about that.”

“It’s okay, auntie, you said it was a misunderstanding, right? We’ll be on our way then, we can chat another day.”

“Sure, sure, you kids hurry back, don’t keep your parents waiting too long.”

“Alright, goodbye, auntie.”

As Lu Han followed Tang Su into the stairwell, Tang Su slowed down, about to explain, when Lu Han shook his head first, “No need to explain, gossip is everywhere, I’m used to it.”

Tang Su nodded in agreement, having originally thought that someone like Lu Han wouldn’t have to deal with gossipmongers.

Yet, to think he said he was used to it?

Incredibly unbelievable.

“I’ve always thought Doctor Lu was not of this world, but it turns out Doctor Lu lives in a place full of life and splendor.”

“Are you… insulting me?” Lu Han raised an eyebrow.

Tang Su hurriedly shook her head, “Doctor Lu, you’ve misunderstood, I really didn’t, mainly because I don’t dare to—I’m complimenting you.”

“…”

Heh, not daring?

With all that talk, he didn’t detect even a hint of fear in her.

But in his presence, it’s rather nice that she’s a bit bolder.

The door to the Tang Family’s home was open; upon hearing footsteps, Tang Shengyi, without even removing his black apron, rushed from the kitchen.

Tang Shengyi had been disappointed twice already; third time’s the charm, he figured he wouldn’t be let down again.

Sure enough, this time’s footsteps belonged to Lu Han and Tang Su.

“Tang Bao, you’re back? Xiao Lu, welcome.” Tang Shengyi showed none of the airs expected from an elder. He didn’t necessarily need the younger generation to greet him first; being proactive as an elder didn’t mean losing a piece of himself.

There were no such strict requirements.

Without waiting for their greeting, Tang Shengyi turned to call out to his wife, “My dear, our precious daughter and Xiao Lu are here.”

“…”
