Chapter 45 Divorce? Don't even think about it!

Early the next morning.

Shen Li woke up and sat on the bed in a daze. She had low blood pressure and always felt dazed for a while after waking up in the morning before her mind returned to normal.

She picked up her phone and checked the time; there were still more than four hours until her flight.

Now you can get up, take a shower, get ready, leisurely have breakfast, and then take your time heading to the airport.

Shen Li was brushing her teeth while looking at her phone.

Then I saw two messages from Xin Yang, sent late at night.

When Shen Li saw the contents of the message, she even stopped brushing her teeth.

[Sister-in-law, I don't know if you're still angry. When Brother Chuan found out I asked you to come pick us up, he immediately scolded me. I didn't consider that you're unfamiliar with Haicheng. I'm sorry.]

[Brother Chuan brought you seafood for a late-night snack, please forgive him. Oh, by the way! Brother Chuan seems to have a bit of an allergic reaction. We drank alcohol and ate seafood, is it serious?]

Shen Lixiu's eyebrows furrowed.

When she received Xin Yang's call last night, she actually wanted to ask, "You're unfamiliar with this place, but am I familiar with it?"

Wouldn't it be more dangerous for a woman like me to pick you up late at night in an unfamiliar place?

But then I felt there was no need to say so much to Xin Yang.

I didn't think anything of Xin Yang saying such things, or that it was so natural for him to say them.

It was nothing more than Lu Yanchuan's past attitude and instructions towards her, and her past attitude and instructions towards Lu Yanchuan, which was almost a submissive and tacit acceptance.

This led her friends to get used to it and feel that treating her this way was nothing wrong.

Shen Li wasn't really angry; she could tell that Xin Yang actually wanted to mend her relationship with Lu Yanchuan.

So I called a designated driver and went to sleep with my phone on silent.

Surprisingly, the man wasn't angry at all, and even brought her back a late-night snack? Seriously... the sun must have risen in the west.

But Shen Li's attention was more focused on the second piece of news.

"An allergic reaction?"

Shen Li pursed her lips and quickened her washing up.

Lu Yanchuan has a seafood allergy, but not all seafood; to be precise, he is only allergic to sea urchins.

But he knows this himself, so he shouldn't accidentally eat it. How could he have an allergic reaction last night? Didn't he notice that there was sea urchin in the fried rice?

He's an adult; even if he has an allergic reaction, he should be aware of it. Taking medication in time shouldn't be a problem.

Although Shen Li thought this way, when she walked out of the room, she saw that it was still early, and after thinking about it, she decided to go and see Lu Yanchuan's suite.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Zhou Yan standing in the hallway at the door of the suite, next to a tall, thin man with handsome features and a somewhat cold expression.

This person… Shen Li thought for a moment, and realized that she seemed to recognize him.

This person attended her wedding with Lu Yanchuan; he was Lu Yanchuan's friend.

I haven't seen him since, probably because he works and lives in another city.

I never expected it to be in Haicheng.

But Shen Li couldn't remember the name right away.

Just then, he heard Zhou Yan call out to him, "Dr. Cheng, how is President Lu?"

“He won’t die,” Cheng Shuo said, his expression somewhat cold. “But I strongly suggest you take him to get his brain checked.”

Zhou Yan didn't say anything, but patiently smiled apologetically from the side.

Cheng Shuo sneered, "You have an allergic reaction and you're not going to the hospital? What are you trying to do? Commit suicide?"

Zhou Yan coughed lightly, "Hmm...you're right. But President Lu probably thought it wasn't too serious, so he didn't go."

Cheng Shuo chuckled and glanced into the room.

"Not serious? He already showed signs of laryngeal edema. It's just that he didn't die this time. If he tries again next time, it's not impossible."

Shen Li was somewhat surprised, not expecting the situation to be so serious.

She went up to him. "Assistant Zhou, Dr. Cheng, is Lu Yanchuan alright?"

"She won't die." Cheng Shuo glanced at Shen Li and recognized her as Lu Yanchuan's wife.

He turned to Zhou Yan and waved, "Alright, I'm leaving now."

"Thank you, Dr. Cheng. I'll see you downstairs." Zhou Yan nodded and then turned to Shen Li. "Madam, I'll see Dr. Cheng downstairs first. Mr. Lu is in his room. Please go in."

Watching Zhou Yan and Cheng Shuo walk into the elevator and leave.

Shen Li hesitated for a moment in the corridor outside the door, but still went in.

The suite's living room was empty and quite quiet. The curtains were mostly drawn, so the lighting was rather dim.

Shen Li took two steps inside and saw Lu Yanchuan's tie casually draped over the sofa armrest and his watch on the coffee table.

There were also unopened plastic bags containing takeout containers and drinks in the nearby trash can.

The lunchbox was full of seafood that had been packed up. Although it was sealed very well, you could still almost smell the garlic inside.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yanchuan actually brought back a late-night snack.

As soon as Shen Li raised her eyes, her gaze fell upon the tall figure standing at the bedroom door.

He stood in the boundary between the light streaming through the gap in the curtains and the dim light, so Shen Li couldn't see his face clearly.

Lu Yanchuan is tall with long legs and a perfect body proportion. He is wearing a shirt and trousers and looks no different from usual.

But perhaps because of the lighting, he inexplicably looked somewhat listless and haggard.

This is a state that Shen Li rarely sees in Lu Yanchuan.

Shen Li hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Lu Yanchuan, are you alright? Are you feeling better?"

Lu Yanchuan didn't say anything, but simply took a step toward her.

He stepped from the darkness into the light.

Shen Li was finally able to see his face clearly, and thus saw the cold expression on his face and the chill in his eyes.

Shen Li tried to back away, but it was too late. Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she was slammed against the wall.

Shen Li frowned. With her abilities, she could actually break free, but her gaze swept over the lingering redness and swelling on his neck and cheeks.

It was probably because of the itch that he scratched me, leaving red marks.

His fair skin made him appear quite striking.

“Lu Yanchuan, you first…” Shen Li wanted to tell him to let go first.

But before she could finish speaking, her chin was grabbed. "I've thought about it, Shen Li."

“…What?” Shen Li stared at him blankly.

In fact, Lu Yanchuan's attitude towards her in the past was not good, and he often made sarcastic remarks.

Logically speaking, she should have been able to take Lu Yanchuan's attitude in stride by now.

But Lu Yanchuan had never before made her feel this way, this kind of danger.

Shen Li had previously been concerned that Lu Yanchuan's physical condition seemed too fragile, so she did not want to struggle.

She felt as if she were being targeted and suppressed by a ferocious beast, and she couldn't help but struggle.

But Shen Li was shocked to realize that she couldn't break free!

Her eyes widened suddenly. Lu Yanchuan's strength was astonishing. "Lu Yanchuan, you...you let me go first, let me go."

"Yes, that's it."

The man's deep eyes stared at her like cold stars. "Let you go? Don't even think about it. Divorce? Absolutely not."

Before Shen Li could react, Lu Yanchuan pinched her chin.

He kissed her fiercely.
