Chapter 19 Will You Carry Me?
"What?" Shen Li was quite surprised to hear this and involuntarily stepped on the brakes.
Somewhat incredulous, "Really?"
Will Lu Yanchuan let his beloved white moonlight take the blame?
Xin Youran stumbled forward, steadied herself, and nodded, "It's true!"
"What does Lu's public relations department mean?" Shen Li asked.
“I heard from them that President Lu also agreed to the plan,” Xin Youran said. “They portrayed this as Song Xiaowan’s own doing.”
Shen Li frowned slightly, puzzled, and said, "But why would she direct and act this herself? It doesn't make sense, does it?"
The negative public opinion is all directed at her now. Who would be so foolish as to stage such a thing? Netizens aren't stupid; do they really believe this?
Xin Youran shrugged. "I think it makes a lot of sense. As long as she, as a mistress, exposes this kind of thing in the hope that you, as the original wife, will be encouraged and pushed by public opinion to have no choice but to divorce President Lu, then her goal will be achieved."
"As for her, she's already willing to be a mistress, so why would she care about being cyberbullied?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Li thought, "That makes a lot of sense."
“Right? Even a small streamer like me can think of this, Lu's PR team must know even better how to do it,” Xin Youran said.
After a moment of silence, Shen Li muttered to himself, "He's really willing to spend so much."
Lu's PR team's efficiency is beyond question; the news broke out in the afternoon.
Shen Li bit her coffee straw and swiped her phone screen when Qu Xiang called.
"Lu Yanchuan is definitely more ruthless." Qu Xiang clicked her tongue twice.
The press release from the Lu family stated in a formal and official manner that Lu Yanchuan and Shen Li had a very good relationship. It also stated that Lu Yanchuan and Ms. Song had no improper relationship; they were merely acquaintances from several years ago, and that the entire affair was orchestrated by Ms. Song herself.
"So this matter is resolved, right?" Qu Xiang asked.
"Um."
"Are you still going to Lancheng to lay low?" Qu Xiang asked again.
Shen Li sighed helplessly, "I really need to go pick some soil, not to avoid the storm."
Qu Xiang didn't know how to make pottery, so naturally she didn't know that they were all kaolin clay, so what difference could there be? Aren't they all just mud?
So she genuinely believed that Shen Li was using pottery as a cover to avoid the limelight and clear her head.
Shen Li thought for a moment, "I definitely can't go today. I'll set off in a couple of days."
This is a good opportunity to make a rough draft of the artwork I'm preparing for the competition.
That evening, Lu Yanchuan called.
"I'm at Yehe, come here."
Shen Li had often picked him up from school, which is why he was considered the most qualified driver by his friends.
But after moving to Guanhaiyuan, we no longer need to do this.
Shen Li had been living a carefree life, but now that she was suddenly back in this position, she felt a little uncomfortable.
I glanced at the half-finished sketch in front of me.
Shen Li hesitated and said, "I'll have Lao Chen come pick you up."
Lu Yanchuan clicked his tongue on the other end, "You don't keep your word."
Shen Li asked helplessly, "What did I say?"
Lu Yanchuan's voice sounded casual and nonchalant, "Didn't you say you'd be a good wife to me?"
"Whoa—!" came the cheering voices from the other side.
Shen Li felt a chill run down her spine. "I...I'm coming now."
"Hey, good boy." Lu Yanchuan's voice seemed to have a lazy smile.
After the call ended, someone nearby teased, "Yanchuan, what kind of fun are you and Shen Li having?"
"Yeah, weren't they going through a divorce? Now they're back to normal?"
"Could it be that my sister-in-law is just being a little whiny?"
Hearing this, Lu Yanchuan didn't answer, but just smiled and stood up, "You guys keep drinking, I'm going out for a walk."
He walked towards the door of the private room, and someone teased, "What kind of drinks are you having? Are you going to pick up your wife?"
Lu Yanchuan had barely left the private room when Su Yi also came out. The two of them went for a walk together.
Su Yi casually remarked, "I didn't expect you to have Lu's PR handle it this way."
Lu Yanchuan glanced at Su Yi sideways. "What do you think I'll do?"
“I thought you would make Shen Li take the blame,” Su Yi said. “I heard from Xin Yang that she was brought to Yehe by her friends and even hired male models. If you put the surveillance footage of something like that online, it would be enough for her to be judged by those little guardians of female virtue.”
"Tsk." Lu Yanchuan frowned.
Su Yi laughed, "You're not new to knowing about Xin Yang's big mouth."
The two were chatting casually and did not notice what was happening not far behind them.
Song Xiaowan stood there with a pale face, listening to their words, her eyes hardening inwardly.
When Shen Li arrived at Yehe, Lu Yanchuan had already returned to his private room.
Two people were rapping and howling like ghosts, making a lot of noise in the private room.
Lu Yanchuan sat on the sofa, his eyes lowered, his long eyelashes covering his slightly dazed eyes, making him look as if he were drunk.
As soon as Shen Li entered the private room, the wailing rap music abruptly stopped.
All eyes turned to her.
"Oh my, Shen Li has come to pick someone up?"
"Sister-in-law, it's been so long..."
Everyone present was shrewd. The response from Lu's PR team clearly demonstrated Shen Li's standing with Lu Yanchuan.
Shen Li nodded to them and walked up to Lu Yanchuan.
His eyelids, which had been lowered, lifted up.
Her thick eyelashes were almost too long, making her eyes appear even deeper as she stared intently at Shen Li.
"Are you drunk?" Shen Li looked at him and asked in a low voice.
"Will you carry me?" Lu Yanchuan's lips curled into a smile.
Hearing this, Shen Li frowned, "How much did you drink?"
"If you drink too much, will you carry me on your back?" Lu Yanchuan asked again.
Shen Li was speechless. Did he want to listen to what he was saying? He was almost 1.9 meters tall!
Even if Shen Li is 1.72 meters tall, she's still a little potato next to him.
“I can’t carry you on my back,” Shen Li said.
Upon hearing this, the man replied, "Oh, then I didn't drink much."
What do you mean by "she didn't drink that much"? Does that mean if she said she would carry him, he would say she drank too much?
Shen Li gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go, let's go back."
Lu Yanchuan didn't move, but sat there and reached out his hand to her.
Shen Li pursed her lips, and could only reach out to pull him, but she couldn't budge him at all!
Instead, he gently tugged at her, causing her to lose her balance and stumble forward.
When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on his lap.
The jeers from the sidelines grew even louder.
Shen Li's eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately tried to stand up.
But Lu Yanchuan was stronger than her, and he held her down so she couldn't get up at all.
Shen Li wanted to move again.
Lu Yanchuan brought his thin lips close to her ear, his hot breath brushing against her ear, his deep, magnetic voice having a soothing quality.
He poured the words into her ear, "Don't move, or it'll get hard."
Shen Li turned to look at him in shock. The two were already close, and when they turned their heads, it was even more incredible; their noses were practically touching.
Lu Yanchuan raised his hand and reached it out to her.
It was as if someone was about to grab her head and kiss her, leaving Shen Li completely stunned!
I snapped my eyes shut! All I could hear was the pounding of my own heart.
