Chapter 35 Against the Door
Lu Tingzhou snorted. How could he possibly admit this? He curled his lips and said, "Businessmen always inadvertently compare whether a deal is worthwhile or not."
Seeing that he looked gloomy and not as relaxed as just now, Sang Wan was in a good mood.
She reached out and hooked her little finger around his, shaking it gently. "Oh, it really was just a dream. I didn't even see that person's face clearly! So, next time I dream, I promise to put your face in it. You're the only one in my dreams, okay?"
Lu Tingzhou felt the soft touch on his little finger, and the sourness in his heart was instantly soothed.
He raised his eyes, looked at the pair of charming fox eyes sparkling, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Are you sure this isn't a wet dream?"
He teased her with words, but the tenderness in his eyes could not be hidden.
Sang Wan smiled sweetly, a hint of shyness hidden between her eyebrows. She pulled his hand and shook it, "It should be... it should be."
Lu Tingzhou pinched her face lightly.
I feel lucky that she is still the same Sang Wan as before.

Song Ziqian was feeling restless at the moment and kept calling Xu Mingyue, but no one answered.
The trending search disappeared just like that. Not only that, a series of bigwigs spoke up for Sang Wan. Even Xiao Yan, who rarely posted on Weibo, reposted Sang Wan's Weibo and left the words "The innocent will be cleared."
This is clearly a show of support for Sang Wan.
Since the marketing account was cancelled, she would definitely understand what was going on.
The only thing to be thankful for is that she did not interfere in this matter.
In just half a day, the Internet was like it had just experienced a cleanup operation, with no trace of that entry or video left.
She thought it was Lu Tingzhou, but she was a little unconvinced. After all, she had already sent the photo to Lu Tingzhou. How could a man like him take action again?
My sister said that Lu Tingzhou has mysophobia and doesn't want anything unclean. Seeing Sang Wan being hugged by another man, how could he still want her?
What's more, he just returned to China in the evening. After a day and night of flying, he dealt with this matter as soon as he came back. How shameless of him to deal with this matter?
My sister also said that Lu Tingzhou treated her and Kaikai the same as before these days. Could it be that she was really being too suspicious?
But if it really is Lu Tingzhou, then her resources in the future will be inferior to Sang Wan in every way.
Song Ziqian tossed and turned all night long.
It was not until the next morning that Xu Mingyue called.
"What happened last night?"
She went straight to the point without any hesitation.
"Sister Qian, Lu Tingzhou found out that I was the one who hired the paparazzi. He said Sang Wan is his man. You'd better take care of yourself."
Xu Shiming has warned Xu Mingyue not to provoke Sang Wan again. If Lu Tingzhou treats the Sang family like he did to Wang Sheng, he does not have a financial backer like Sun Meixi to support him.
Sun Meixi was able to accommodate Xu Mingyue only because of Wang Sheng's face.
"This is impossible. How could Lu Tingzhou possibly like Sang Wan? Obviously..."
Song Ziqian was a little panicked at this moment. She didn't finish talking to Xu Mingyue. In a hurry, she immediately hung up the phone and called Song Xinran.
Song Xinran was already asleep when she was woken up by the ringing phone. She answered the phone and started to scold him, "Do you know what time it is here?"
"Sister, Lu Tingzhou really has a crush on Sang Wan. The trending search term I sent you yesterday was already going viral, but within a few hours, it disappeared without a trace online."
"The person who posted the video was also warned by Lu Tingzhou, and he himself admitted that Sang Wan was his person."
"Sister, no one except Lu Tingzhou could have removed the trending search in such a short time and completely cleared the online public opinion."
Song Ziqian finished speaking in one breath, and Song Xinran's sleepy eyes had gradually widened.
Sang Wan!
This name has frequently appeared in her ears and sight recently.
The person who said he couldn't make any waves a few days ago is now making her visibly uneasy.
Especially after seeing the trending searches today, I went to look up Sang Wan specifically.
I have to admit that it is indeed a look that all men like.
"Find someone to keep an eye on Sang Wan. Remember, I'm only asking you to keep an eye on her. Don't act rashly. I'll be back in two days."
Song Ziqian excitedly agreed, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on her right away. Come back soon. This man needs to be around to feel at ease. You and him are separated by the Pacific Ocean. If something really happens, it will be too late. Now that they have just hooked up, quickly make him change his mind."
After the call ended, Song Xinran on the other side of the ocean lost all desire to sleep.
Only she herself knew that Lu Tingzhou's gaze never lingered on her, but she would definitely get what she wanted.
Because she has leverage.
At this time, Sang Wan was happily pushing her grandfather for a walk in the nursing home. The old man was in good spirits, which made her completely relieved.
"Grandpa, I'm going to join the crew again in a couple of days, but don't worry, I will definitely make time to come see you this time. I won't be away for so long like last time."
Sang Wan stopped and leaned on her grandfather's shoulder like she did when she was a child.
She really wanted to tell her grandfather that she had no home and no father anymore.
Her only relative left is her grandfather.
But even if grandpa didn't understand what she said, Sang Wan didn't want to say it.
She sniffed and smiled sweetly, "Little old man, I'm working so hard, you can't be lazy. You have to get better soon. You promised to set up a professional design studio for me, you can't break your promise. I haven't given up my ideals, so you can't be lazy."
The old man stared blankly into the distance, letting her lie on him, neither noisy nor annoyed, quietly and peacefully, just like a soul leaving the body in a movie or TV drama.
Uncle Liu felt a little sad when he saw Sang Wan, and comforted her, "Wanwan, don't worry about the old man here. Don't worry about him all the time. Just take care of yourself."
Uncle Liu has been taking care of the old man for several years. Sang Wan treats him very well and always treats him as an elder.
He is also very kind to Sang Wan.
"Wanwan, Uncle Liu is sorry for you. Your dad doesn't allow me to contact you and he even took my phone away."
Seeing Uncle Liu feeling ashamed and blaming himself, Sang Wan curved her lips and smiled softly, "Uncle Liu, I know that I've been so grateful for your careful care over the years. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on filming."
Uncle Liu paused and sighed, "You're fine, don't worry about this."
He naturally knew the situation of the Sang family: a girl who had lost her mother and whose father became her stepfather.
After leaving the hospital, Sang Wan asked Su Mo and Qu You to have dinner together.
After joining the team next week, we won’t be able to see each other for a long time.
"Hey, our big star Sang, did you find some money today? You're smiling like a flower."
As soon as Su Mo saw Sang Wan, she felt that she was in a good mood.
Sang Wan curved her lips into a smile, her eyes and eyebrows filled with unconcealed joy: "Almost, I found a gold ingot."
"Gold ingots?" Su Mo's eyes lit up. "Tell me quickly, what gold ingots? Did you completely capture that flower from the high mountains?"
Qu You smiled and said, "Momo said something was definitely wrong when we came here."
"Tsk tsk..." Su Mo winked. "Last night's move, besides President Lu, I can't think of anyone else capable of that. Today, when I was at the company, that guy Shen Yubai saw me and smiled like crazy, saying, 'Your Sang Wan is such a great angler, she landed the fish without making a sound.'"
Sang Wan was amused by her and giggled. She didn't deny it, but raised her chin proudly, "That's right, don't you see who I am? I've said before that there is no man I can't catch, and Lu Tingzhou is no exception."
Qu You watched them laughing and joking, and curled up the corners of his mouth as well.
After laughing for a while, Qu You gently reminded her, "Wanwan, don't forget to go to the hospital for a checkup. You've been looking good lately, so you might as well ask the doctor if you can stop taking the medication."
Sang Wan's smile faded a little when she heard this, but she still responded cheerfully, "Well, I feel like I've been doing pretty well lately, and I've been sleeping well too."
Qu You nodded. "You're amazing that you were able to come out of this and remain so strong."
"Our Sang Wan must be amazing, otherwise how could she become such a popular star? Oh, and please get an autographed photo of Xiao Yan when you see him."
Sang Wan frowned, "Don't you like Zhuo Fan?"
"Who said I only like Zhuo Fan? I like all good-looking men."
Qu You is not as carefree as Su Mo. Among the three of them, she is always the quietest one.
"Youyou, don't stay in school or the hospital all the time. Go out and play with Momo more often."
Sang Wan knew that Qu You was worried, so she wanted to take her out to play as soon as she came back, but she spent most of her time in school and hospital.
"Don't worry about me. Take care of yourself when you get to the set."
Qu You understood that Sang Wan wanted her to feel more relaxed, but that was her personality.
"You, are you still secretly in love with your teacher?" Su Mo asked while eating.
Qu You likes her professional course teacher, who is also her mentor during her internship at the hospital.
Although this was no secret among the three of them, Qu You never said who that person was.
"Maybe I won't like it when I graduate."
Qu You smiled somewhat bitterly. The difference in status and background forced her to bury her love deep in her heart.
Sang Wan knows that when you like someone, you want to be close to them. This is something she has only recently realized.
It's really uncomfortable to have to face a situation like Qu You's every day, but not be able to speak out about it, and even have to hide it.
She approached Qu You and hugged her. "If you really like her, go for it. It's not the right time to worry about your status."
Su Mo nodded, "Yes, you just think too much. If you like someone, pursue them. If they are not suitable, break up."
Qu You looked at the two of them, frowning. "Are you two here to lecture me? One of you just got a date, and the other is just good at talking. Who gives you the confidence to lecture me?"
Su Mo shut up instantly, looked at Sang Wan and raised his eyebrows, as if to say: You have the confidence, go ahead.
Sang Wan scratched his ears and thought to himself, my confidence is still not stable enough.
"Well, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's eat well."
When all the dishes were served, Sang Wan took a photo and sent it to Lu Tingzhou.
Then I sent him another message: Good wine, good food, and good friends. After you’re full, go watch the little brother dance.
She did it on purpose because this guy didn't call her all day or even send her a message.
——
After parting with Su Mo and Qu You, Sang Wan went straight back to Jingyuan.
She had no interest in watching the little brother dance, she just wanted to see Lu Tingzhou lose control.
I threw down my bag and slumped on the sofa, feeling empty inside.
The passion and ambiguity of last night are still fresh in my mind, but today that person has returned to his busy Mr. Lu mode?
He is still the same aloof Mr. Lu who is focused and ignores others.
The message she sent fell on deaf ears.
Sang Wan stared at the phone for a while and thought that this guy was going too far. Okay, then just ignore each other.
I played with the phone in my hand and looked across. It was still dark, so I wondered if the other party had moved away.
Looking at the time again, it was already late, and for some unknown reason, he opened the chat interface with Lu Tingzhou again.
Looking through the chat history with him since they met, and seeing his frugal replies, Sang Wan pouted, tapped the screen a few times with her slender fingers, and finally sent an emoticon package in a very cowardly way.
Sang Wan: A big [? ]
The message was sent successfully, and the phone screen that had just been turned off immediately lit up again.
Sang Wan's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't wait to click it.
The sponsor replied with two words: Open the door.
Open the door?
Sang Wan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and a smile instantly broke out on her face.
She jumped up from the sofa with joy and ran towards the door happily, almost losing one of her slippers.
“Click—”
As soon as the door opened a crack, a large, bony hand reached in and grabbed her wrist.
The next second, the tall figure of a man squeezed in, raised his left foot slightly, and the door was closed.
Before Sang Wan could even open her mouth, he grabbed her waist and pushed her against the door.
A familiar and refreshing breath instantly surrounded her.
Lu Tingzhou put one hand around her waist and the other hand pinched her chin, lifting it slightly and forcing her to look at him.
In the man's deep eyes, there was a hint of teasing, a hint of laziness, and a hint of undisguised... desire.
