Chapter 127 If Lu Rang is hell, she is willing to fall into it.
Shang Wu paused for a second, then immediately replied, "I never thought about not being with you."
Lu Rang's eyes remained dark, and although there were no lights outside, a glimmer of light flashed in them.
"Then don't leave me feeling cold, okay?" He grabbed Shang Wu's hand, their fingers intertwined. "Otherwise, I really won't be able to hold back."
Shang Wu asked, "Can't help what?"
Lu Rang stared at her, saying slowly and deliberately, "I can't help but tie you up and take you back to Wanhu."
Shang Wu laughed: "That's your style."
She clearly intended to ease the tension, but Lu Rang didn't smile. He pursed his lips to calm his earlier unease before pinching Shang Wu's chin and kissing her.
For a moment, Shang Wu's mind went blank.
Before seeing the diary, she was preoccupied with how to prove that Lu Rang had never killed anyone and was not a murderer as her mother had said.
After reading the diary, she didn't know how to bring Lu Rang to her family.
After all, even she herself didn't know whether Lu Rang was delirious and hurt his brother, or if there was another hidden reason.
There wasn't even a chance to ask.
Shang Wu was somewhat dazed, then remembered that the psychologist had told her not to upset Lu Rang and not to mention this matter to avoid hurting his mental and emotional state.
If the trigger for Lu Rang's illness was his brother, was Lu Rang also deliberately confronting this past event in order to show her what he looked like when he had an attack?
It seems that to figure this out, she has to go to Wanhu to see Lu Zheng.
As Shang Wu was thinking, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her lips.
She tilted her head slightly and took a breath.
"Ah Wu." Lu Rang's voice was low, carrying a hint of desire in the quiet carriage.
He doesn't usually call Shang Wu that unless he's extremely emotional, "I don't want to wait another second. The Yu family marriage certificate is waiting to have your name written on it."
Shang Wu lowered her eyes and kissed the corner of Lu Rang's lips.
Do your family members agree?
Lu Rang pursed his lips, his expression turning cold and indifferent again. "I don't need his consent. The right to inherit the Yu family's business has been in my hands for a long time. If I hadn't been avoiding going back to handle the family business, he wouldn't be in charge of the affairs in Wanhu."
"But he is your father."
Shang Wu began to coax him, gently taking his hand and shaking it: "How about I pack up and you take me back to see him? Trust me, this time I have a way to gain his approval."
Lu Rang was somewhat resistant: "Don't take him too seriously..."
“I want your family’s approval, just like you want to meet my parents. I’m going.” Shang Wu said firmly.
Her gaze was so persistent that Lu Rang couldn't refuse and patted her head.
"I'll take you there now."
Shang Wu nodded, reached into her bag and found a bottle of medicine, which made her feel a little relieved.
Hopefully, she will get an answer.
Regardless of the outcome, she accepts it.
Even if Lu Rang is hell, she is willing to fall into the second level and suffer the torment of the storm.
Shang Wu fell into deep thought.
She's been so busy lately that she was already too tired to keep her eyes open after only a short while on the three-hour drive.
Lu Rang was focused on driving when he suddenly felt a weight on his arm.
Shang Wu leaned against his arm, already dozing off.
He raised his hand to dim the interior lights and quietly slowed down the car.
When they arrived at Wanhu, the bodyguards on patrol had already spotted Lu Rang's car and reported it to Qianjue.
Qianjue was there to greet them with two bodyguards.
As the car drew closer, he saw a woman sleeping in Lu Rang's passenger seat, and his respectful expression froze for a moment.
Before Qianjue could react, two bodyguards had already approached and opened the door for Lu Rang and Shang Wu.
Shang Wu didn't wake up; she had fallen into a deep sleep during the journey.
Lu Rang unbuckled his seatbelt and gently cupped Shang Wu's face in his hands: "Wake up, we're here."
Shang Wu didn't open her eyes, but rubbed her face against his palm.
"Let me sleep a little longer..."
"We're here." Lu Rang gently kissed her. "Weren't you supposed to see Lu Zheng?"
Upon hearing this name, Shang Wu finally remembered the important matter and pulled Lu Rang's hand to straighten up.
Every move they made and the atmosphere between them exuded an indescribable ambiguity and tenderness.
Qianjue couldn't bear to look and silently gazed at the sky.
Is this what dating is all about?
It's incredibly vulgar.
Shang Wu got out of the car, and the cool night breeze made her head instantly clearer.
She followed Lu Rang over.
Lu Rang asked, "Where is he?"
Qianjue said calmly, "The study."
Lu Rang then led Shang Wu over.
Before she had taken more than a few steps, Shang Wu coughed lightly and said, "Lu Rang, I'm thirsty."
"There's water in the car, I'll go get it."
Lu Rang turned around, but Shang Wu grabbed him again.
"Wait! I... I want some warm water, warm honey water. Drink with me, we've been driving for hours, it'll soothe your throat."
She smiled gently, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Hearing this from behind, Qianjue couldn't help but purse her lips and snort, "Such a princess complex, so many demands."
Lu Rang glanced at him casually, his eyes slightly cool: "Go make two cups of honey lemonade."
Qianjue was stunned and could only leave awkwardly.
Shang Wu and Lu Rang entered the villa's living room.
A moment later, two glasses of honey water were brought to them.
Qianjue exuded an aura of displeasure, her resentment towards Shangwu practically reaching the heavens.
Shang Wu ignored it, her mind wasn't on it, and took the medicine out of her bag and put it into her water glass.
Lu Rang asked, "What is this?"
"A type of nutritional supplement."
Shang Wu pushed the glass of water with the dissolved pills to him: "Drink this, it's good for your health."
"Young Master can't take medicine indiscriminately!" Qianjue said sternly, about to stop him.
Lu Rang cast a sharp glance at him, freezing him in place.
He picked up the water glass and drank it in a few gulps.
He handed it to Shang Wu to see: "They're all gone."
This statement has a rather boastful tone.
Shang Wu chuckled: "So how do you feel now?"
Lu Rang paused for a moment: "I didn't feel anything."
Shang Wu was taken aback.
Aying said that this is a new type of sleep drug, and you will feel sleepy after drinking it.
She originally carried this with her when she was under a lot of stress, in a bad mood, or suffering from insomnia.
She had just arrived at Wanhu Lake and decided to find a way to give it to Lu Rang so he could get some sleep.
Her conversation with Lu Zheng would inevitably involve Lu Rang's brother, and Lu Rang must not overhear it.
Shang Wu frowned in suspicion.
Lu Rang took in her reaction, then suddenly clenched his fist and put it to his lips, yawning.
Shang Wu's eyes lit up: "Are you sleepy?"
Lu Rang nodded slightly: "I don't know why, but I'm suddenly very tired. It's okay, I'll go upstairs with you."
"No need, no need. You rest here for a while. I can go by myself." Without saying a word, Shang Wu pulled over a blanket and draped it over Lu Rang.
Lu Rang paused for a moment, wanting to say something, but suddenly seemed unable to lift his eyelids and fell asleep on the sofa.
Qianjue was taken aback: "What did you feed him?!"
Shang Wu withdrew her tenderness towards Lu Rang, glanced at him indifferently, and stood up.
"It's just something to give him a nap, don't disturb him."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the study door opened.
Shang Wu and Qian Jue looked up at the same time.
Lu Zheng, dressed in pure black home clothes, came out of the study with his hands behind his back. His hair was still meticulously styled, and his face was solemn.
He asked coldly, "What do you want to tell me that Lu Rang can't hear?"
Shang Wu glanced down at Lu Rang.
He was fast asleep and couldn't possibly hear their conversation.
So Shang Wu simply stood there and spoke his mind.
"I'm here to find out the truth. Lu Rang had an older brother, right? They were twins. His brother died. How did he die?"
Lu Zheng abruptly stopped in his tracks as he walked downstairs.
Qianjue was even more incredulous, never expecting her to ask such a direct question.
He clenched his fist and took a step forward, but Lu Zheng waved his hand.
"You may leave."
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Lu, I know this is a secret of your Yu family, but since Lu Rang and I are together, we should be honest with each other and know each other's past, so I have to understand this matter."
Lu Zheng wasn't angry; he just stared at her expressionlessly: "Then why don't you ask Lu Rang?"
"The psychologist said this is the trigger point for his condition. I don't want to hurt him or cause him any distress. Is that hard to understand?" Shang Wu asked casually.
Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, watching Shang Wu look up, clearly unsure of herself but trying to appear calm and composed.
Suddenly, her figure overlapped with that of the woman from over a decade ago.
Lu Zheng thought of his wife, who had once stood there confronting him, repeatedly questioning him whether she was a tool he used to control the Yu family business.
He clenched his fists behind his back: "You've got some nerve. Do you know that all the outsiders who heard about the Yu family's secret have sunk to the bottom of Wanhu Lake?"
Lu Zheng spoke casually, but Shang Wu felt a chill run down her spine.
She wasn't sure if the bottom of Wanhu Lake was really littered with corpses, or if Lu Zheng was just trying to scare her.
Shang Wu curled her red lips and looked directly at Lu Zheng: "They all sank to the bottom of the lake? It seems Mr. Lu's boasting is not very sophisticated. Don't you know that corpses in the water eventually float to the surface?"
"Don't you know that tying stones to a corpse can make it sink to the bottom?" Lu Zheng looked at her with interest.
Shang Wu remained unmoved and said indifferently, "Fine, even if I drown, I want to die knowing the truth. Speak up, and then throw me into the lake and let me sink."
She sat down on the sofa, pressing a corner of the blanket over Lu Rang.
The blanket was pulled tighter, and Lu Rang clenched his fists, pressing them against his sides.
Lu Zheng was speechless.
He looked at Qianjue and found that the other person also looked incredulous and annoyed, as if he had never met such an unpredictable person in his life.
Lu Zheng suddenly understood why his son was attracted to a woman with a personality like Shang Wu.
It's certainly interesting, but for those on the side of Shangwu, it's also quite annoying.
Lu Zheng pondered for a moment: "I can tell you, and I won't deal with you after I finish speaking, but I have a condition."
Shang Wu nodded: "Tell me about it."
"You know that you should leave Lu Rang after this. I have already arranged a fiancée for him. She is currently in Wanhu. I will make sure her name appears on the marriage certificate. You want to add a line to the Yu family genealogy? Never."
Lu Zheng looked down at her and asked, "Will you agree?"
Shang Wu pressed down on the sofa armrest.
As expected, this man is capable of managing the Yu family business; he never lets himself suffer a loss.
She pursed her lips, looked up, and said, "I... agree." She could also back out at any time.
Lu Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Come with me."
Shang Wu immediately got up, lifted her foot, and followed him upstairs to the study.
After the two went inside and closed the door, Qianjue looked at the man in the corner of the sofa.
"Young master, they've all gone inside, so you don't need to pretend to be asleep anymore."
Lu Rang slowly opened his eyes.
