Lu Rang took out some sedatives and took them, but his mind was still filled with Shang Wu's words.

Chen Chunzhi? And a young painter?

Okay, that's really great.

Lu Rang narrowed his eyes.

"drive."

...

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped downstairs at the company.

Shang Wu touched up her makeup to make sure her expression was calm and collected before entering the building.

The talks went surprisingly smoothly.

Mr. Liang is a refined middle-aged man with insightful views on design. The cooperation terms he offered were even more favorable than those mentioned over the phone.

However, throughout the entire process, Shang Wu could always sense an invisible subtlety.

It's like how General Manager Liang, as the client, cooperated so much not because of her design skills, but more because of Lu Rang.

Just then, as General Manager Liang was about to sign the letter of intent, he paused.

He looked up, smiled apologetically, and said, "Ms. Shang, it's been a pleasure doing business with you. Also, please don't take offense at the previous pick-up and drop-off arrangements. It was actually Mr. Lu's idea. He specifically instructed me to take good care of you, but he was afraid you wouldn't agree, so..."

It was indeed Lu who took the photo with his passport.

Shang Wu's fingertips clenched as she forced a smile, but a surge of surprise and unease welled up inside her.

Whatever Lu Rang wants to do, it's best not to disrupt their current peaceful coexistence and separate lives.

She could no longer stay here, and she could no longer have any involvement with Lu Rang.

Our previous interactions had already crossed the line.

Thinking of this, Shang Wu didn't want to waste a moment.

"Mr. Liang, you flatter me. I should thank Mr. Lu for his kindness."

Shang Wu quickly signed the papers, stood up, and said naturally, "Since we've reached an agreement, I won't bother you any longer. My boyfriend happens to be nearby, and he'll come pick me up in a bit."

"Boyfriend?" Mr. Liang was clearly surprised.

“Yes.” Shang Wu smiled, took out her phone, and quickly sent a distress text message to Chen Chunzhi.

[Urgent! Someone is impersonating my boyfriend downstairs at the Ni's Company in Lincheng. Come quickly!]

Chen Chunzhi replied very quickly.

[Wait, I'll be there soon! Should we put on a good show?]

Shang Wu was somewhat speechless, but still replied: 【Very sufficient.】

She put away her phone and smiled at President Liang.

"He'll be there soon. I'll go downstairs and wait for him. Thank you again, Mr. Liang. We'll discuss the details online."

Shang Wu immediately left the company and stood on the roadside downstairs.

She kept glancing at the passing vehicles, both hoping that Chen Chunzhi would arrive soon and fearing that the landing would coincidentally happen again.

What you fear most is what happens.

Just as Chen Chunzhi's eye-catching sports car roared up and stopped in front of her, another Maybach, like a ghost, silently stopped at a street corner not far away.

The car window rolled down, and Lu Rang's cold gaze pierced through the street, landing precisely on her.

Chen Chunzhi got out of the sports car, and today he was quite cooperative, wearing a decent casual suit instead of a pink shirt.

He walked towards Shang Wu with a smile, his tone intimate yet slightly exaggerated: "Honey, have you been waiting long? How did the meeting go?"

Shang Wu pursed her lips, clearly feeling the cold gaze coming from the street corner.

She took a deep breath, a bright and even slightly seductive smile blooming on her face, and took the initiative to step forward and link arms with Chen Chunzhi.

"Honey, why did it take you so long? I missed you so much."

Chen Chunzhi was taken aback by her enthusiasm, but he quickly recovered and put his arm around her waist, whispering, "Wow, you're so into acting?"

Shang Wu pinched his arm hard with her fingernails, but smiled charmingly while keeping an eye on the car at the street corner out of the corner of her eye.

She saw Lu Rang push open the car door, get out of the car, and walk towards them, each step carrying a terrifyingly low pressure.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

With a determined heart, Shang Wu stood on tiptoe, hooked her arm around Chen Chunzhi's neck, pulled his head down, and turned her own face slightly to the side.

From Lu Rang's perspective, the two appeared to be passionately kissing in the street.

Chen Chunzhi froze completely, his eyes wide open, never expecting that "full of drama" would be this dramatic!

Shang Wu held her breath, and could feel Lu Rang's steps stop.

That gaze almost burned through her silhouette.

A few seconds later, she abruptly released Chen Chunzhi, and the fingertips that had been blocking their path moved away as well.

Shang Wu's breathing was a little unsteady, and she said in a sweet voice, "Alright, alright, so many people are watching, let's go!"

She didn't even dare to look back at Lu Rang's expression. She grabbed the still-dazed Chen Chunzhi tightly and practically shoved him into the passenger seat of the sports car before getting into the driver's seat herself.

The engine roared, the car shot forward, quickly merged into traffic, and disappeared from sight.

On the street, Lu Rang stood frozen in place, staring intently at the car.

The scene of the two kissing was still vivid in his mind, but strangely, he was more jealous than angry.

Yes, he was actually jealous that Chen Chunzhi was able to kiss that woman without restraint.
