Chapter 117 Is Shang Wu Pregnant?
"What are you standing there for? Get out of the car."
The bodyguard knocked on the car door to urge them on.
Yan Yue awkwardly touched his nose and had no choice but to get down.
He turned to the side and joked with the two bodyguards who were searching him.
"There's no need for this check. I've known Attorney Lu for so long; we're college classmates, colleagues, and friends."
"Aren't you going a bit too far?"
The bodyguard ignored him, finished searching, and walked towards the car.
Upon seeing this, Yan Yue felt a tightness in his chest, as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
After checking the inside, the two went to check the trunk.
Just as Yan Yue was at a loss, he suddenly received a message from Shang Wu.
He quickly finished reading the message and raised his hand to stop them: "Wait, wait a minute!"
The two of them stopped at the same time and looked at him.
"how?"
Yan Yue hurried over and blocked the trunk.
"These are valuable items sent to your young master. You can open them and check them, but you will be responsible if anything is lost."
The two bodyguards exchanged a glance.
Yan Yue snorted: "Besides, it's not like I haven't been here before. There are countless bodyguards in Wanhu. Do you think I would do something to hurt someone under your noses?"
"Then your bodyguards from Wanhu are really useless!"
After a few words were uttered, the bodyguard couldn't immediately grasp the main point.
Yan Yue took out his phone and pointed it at them, pretending to record a video: "Whether the goods can be delivered intact is my sole responsibility. If you open the trunk, then things will get complicated. Go ahead and open it. I'll record it now. If there are any problems later, no one will be able to escape responsibility!"
The two of them stopped in their tracks.
They were only ordered to conduct an inspection and had no idea why Yan Yue had come to Wanhu.
Upon hearing this, they naturally assumed that the things Yan Yuelai gave to the young master were fragile and not to be touched easily.
At that moment, the two men stepped back with some apprehension and made no further move on the trunk.
"Okay, we won't touch it."
Yan Yue gave a soft snort, his forehead already glistening with sweat.
He opened the car door and got in, casually waving his hand out the window.
Once the car entered Wanhu's territory, Yan Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately wiped away his sweat with a bitter expression.
"I was so scared just now! I almost had a heart attack! Miss Shang, do you know that if they find out about this, I'll be dead!"
Shang Wu was too lazy to reply to him.
She braced her feet against the back of the trunk, barely managing to lie flat in the narrow space.
Shang Wu slowly turned over, rubbing her slightly sore shoulders.
Through the car seat and the partition behind her, Yan Yue knew she wouldn't be able to answer, but hearing her moving around inside, he felt suffocated for her.
"Miss Shang, you're pushing yourself too hard. I wouldn't have been able to stay in there for long."
Shang Wu closed her eyes, quietly resting.
The car drove for two hours before finally stopping.
The two rows of bodyguards in black all looked at Yan Yue.
Yan Yue quickly unlocked the trunk and took the wallet, which was not Lu Rang's at all, into the villa.
There were eight bodyguards in black, still lined up on both sides, guarding the gate.
Shang Wu kicked the trunk and pushed the door upwards with her toes.
Everyone was stunned to see that the trunk was open, and they immediately crowded around it.
They were surprised to see a woman inside, her face flushed from the heat.
"Who are you! Why did you sneak in from the trunk?"
Shang Wu jumped down, tugged at her clothes, and said, "I'm Lu Rang's girlfriend, and I want to see him."
The lead bodyguard narrowed his eyes: "Are you Shang Wu?"
Shang Wu nodded: "Yes."
The bodyguard's face darkened: "The master has ordered that you not have any further contact with the young master, yet you still dared to sneak in! Get out of here immediately!"
Shang Wu didn't move, but quickly grasped the key point: "So it's not that Lu Rang ignored me and wanted to come back, but that your husband forced him?"
The bodyguard lost his patience and reached out to grab Shang Wu.
Shang Wu smiled slightly and said calmly, "I'm pregnant."
The bodyguard's hand froze five centimeters from hers.
Everyone else was also stunned.
Shang Wu, clutching her stomach, raised an eyebrow leisurely: "Can I go see Lu Rang, or his father, now?"
The head of the bodyguards took a deep breath, still in shock: "Wait here."
He strode inside, entered the living room, and leaned down to say a few words to Lu Zheng.
Yan Yue, puzzled, coughed lightly and said, "Um, sir, you still haven't told me whether I can leave now."
After listening to the bodyguard's words, Lu Zheng waved his hand, then looked at him with a half-smile, a cold smile in his eyes.
"You're quite something, going to great lengths to deliver these things, just to bring Shang Wu in?"
Yan Yue was startled: "Huh?"
“Yes, all the merchants have partnered with Dingfeng.” Lu Zheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and stared at him coldly. “You should naturally try to please your sugar daddy, Shang Wu, and obey her every command.”
"No, that's not it. I am also completely loyal to you, sir!"
Yan Yue trembled as he was about to kneel down, deeply regretting his impulsive act of helping Shang Wu. Wasn't this just courting death?
He knelt down with a thud: "Sir, please spare me! My loyalty to you is as moving as heaven and earth and as clear as the sun and moon! We were just too worried about Lu Rang, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, the person came in.
Shang Wu followed behind the bodyguard, strolling leisurely.
Seeing how easily Yan Yue was frightened and ruined the whole thing, she frowned slightly and said, "Get up."
Yan Yue scrambled to his feet, staring blankly at her: "You, you've been discovered?"
Lu Zheng stared intently at Shang Wu: "I heard you're pregnant?"
“Yes.” Shang Wu walked over. “Let me see Lu Rang.”
Yan Yue's eyes widened in surprise.
Lu Zheng remained calm and smiled, "Miss Shang, I saw this trick of yours when I was young. Putting aside the possibility that you might be lying to me, even if you are really pregnant, if it's not an illegitimate child that I acknowledge, it's absolutely impossible for you to be recognized as a member of my Yu family."
“I’m not using the child to blackmail you. It’s just that the child’s father is Lu Rang. Whether I want him or not, and how to handle our relationship, I need Lu Rang to come forward and give me an explanation in person.”
Shang Wu sat down on the sofa without any hesitation, staring directly at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a long time: "Lu Rang has had another relapse and was sent to a psychologist for treatment by Qian Jue, so he can't see you."
Shang Wu's heart tightened, and she blurted out, "I'm going to find him!"
Lu Zheng sneered: "Impossible. Send someone to take Miss Shang back."
"Qianjue should have told you about what happened last time. Lu Rang saw that I was able to regain my senses. I was just trying to help him get out of the illness as soon as possible. I had no other intentions. He asked me to come over."
Shang Wu clenched her fists and looked down at Lu Zheng: "With hundreds of bodyguards from Wanhu, are you afraid I'll kidnap Lu Rang and run away?"
Lu Zheng had nothing more to say.
This was the first time he had ever seen a woman dare to hide in the trunk of his car to harass his son, and confidently say that she could help Lu Rang get rid of an illness that even psychologists couldn't cure.
Lu Zheng leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, "I'll let you see him, but on the condition that you help him come to his senses, then leave Wanhu immediately and never bother him again."
Shang Wu slowly pursed her lips, then suddenly scoffed.
"Now I know why Lu Rang got sick. With a father like that, how could he be mentally healthy?"
The bodyguard's expression changed.
Yan Yue's legs went weak with fright, and he quickly grabbed Shang Wu: "What nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to Mr. Lu right now..."
Shang Wu shook off his hand and said calmly, "Okay, I agree."
Lu Zheng wasn't annoyed by what she had just said. He waved his hand, signaling the bodyguard to take her over.
Shang Wu turned and left, walking quickly down the steps.
Seeing her hurried steps, Yan Yue rushed up to her and asked in a low voice, "Are you really pregnant?"
Shang Wu was speechless: "Do you even have a brain? Do you think I can conjure a child out of thin air?"
She left the villa with her bodyguard.
The landscaping around Wanhu Lake is excellent, with villas and residences arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner, and gardens of great artistic conception everywhere.
Shang Wu and her bodyguards weaved through the crowd, past a banana grove, until they came upon a wooden house.
Qianjue was standing outside, talking to the psychologist.
Shang Wu walked over and asked, "Where's Lu Rang?"
Qianjue had already received Lu Zheng's notification and said calmly, "He's inside. This time, he's in a very depressed and desperate state. He kept trying to hurt himself. He's had psychological counseling and is resting now. Take it easy."
Shang Wu ignored him and went inside.
As soon as she pushed open the door of the wooden house, she saw Lu Rang sitting at the table, staring intently at the vase on the windowsill, his brows and eyes filled with melancholy.
Shang Wu paused for a moment, then tiptoed over: "Lu Rang, are you alright?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Rang paused, and his lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
Shang Wu walked over: "Lu Rang, how are you now? Can you recognize who I am?"
Lu Rang suddenly stood up, and because of the sudden movement, the chair fell over.
He walked over, put one hand on the back of Shang Wu's head, and kissed her lips.
Shang Wu froze, not having a chance to figure out what was going on, before instinctively grabbing Lu Rang's shoulder in response.
What's the situation inside?
Qianjue knocked on the door, unsure if she had just heard the sound of tables and chairs falling over inside.
Shang Wu stepped slightly away, her face flushed, and said breathlessly, "It's nothing."
She pulled Lu Rang's hand down and asked softly, "How did you recover?"
Lu Rang reached out and stroked Shang Wu's cheek, his thumb gently tracing her red lips, and whispered, "They took advantage of my momentary lapse of guard and forcibly brought me back. My communication devices were confiscated, so I couldn't contact you and had to trigger the illness on my own."
“I’m betting that Qianjue will tell Lu Zheng about how you can bring me back to my senses, and that he will bring you here.”
Shang Wu took a deep breath, met his deep eyes, and felt a pang of pain in her heart: "You're hurting yourself again."
Lu Rang didn't want her to worry: "It's okay, I'm all better now, aren't I?"
"It's a pity that Lu Zheng didn't send me to see you. I secretly hid in the trunk and had Yan Yue bring me here." Shang Wu's lips curled up.
Lu Rang's eyes darkened slightly as he grabbed her hand, his voice low and menacing: "You can still laugh? It takes at least three hours to get here from outside, and you've been hiding in the trunk for three hours?"
Shang Wu smiled and said, "Wasn't that all to see you?"
Lu Rang paused for two seconds, then pulled her into his arms with such force that he almost mashed her into his body.
"Wait for me for another week."
He said in a low voice, "I will come to find you, but the marriage certificate is in his hands now, and I need to find a way to get it back."
Without a signed marriage certificate, one is not truly considered to have entered the Yu family.
He wanted Shang Wu to become the young mistress of the Yu family.
No one can stop this from happening.
Shang Wu nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Lu Rang paused for a moment: "Still no news from Zhou Yanci?"
"I already know his whereabouts and will find him soon. You don't need to worry about that. Take care of yourself."
Just as Shang Wu finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"How is it now?"
Qianjue's tone was doubtful.
Lu Rang's expression turned slightly cold as he took Shang Wu's hand and led her out.
