Chapter 91 Uncontrolled Kiss Inside the Car
The sports car emitted a deep hum as it sped past the restaurant door.
Liu Ziye stood there, stunned, his mouth agape: "What's going on?"
Inside the car.
Shang Wu looked at Lu Rang and asked, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly change cars?"
Lu Rang replied calmly, "Didn't you want to take a ride in a sports car? I'll grant your wish."
Shang Wu was a little confused.
She belatedly realized the joke Liu Ziye had casually made in the office.
Just because she agreed to ride in Liu Ziye's sports car, Lu Rang switched to a limited edition supercar?
He couldn't possibly be jealous.
Shang Wu looked at Lu Rang for a long time before finally saying, "Lu Rang."
"Um."
"Actually, I don't really want to go for a drive."
Lu Rang glanced at her: "Why?"
Shang Wu huddled in the passenger seat, her cheeks numb from the cold: "It's only three degrees now, and besides, you forgot to close the window..."
Lu Rang almost stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.
He closed the window, parked the car on the side of the road, and a rare hint of helplessness appeared on his usually calm and handsome face as he wrapped the men's scarf next to the seat around Shang Wu's neck.
Shang Wu blinked, looking puzzled. "How come you're so rich? Lu Rang, which family's young master are you? I've never heard of you before."
Lu Rang: "Guess."
Shang Wu snorted: "I won't guess. Anyway, no matter which family's young master it is, you will have to arrange a marriage. In big families, you can never escape this path of exchanging interests."
Lu Rang looked at her and said, "Yes, I'm no exception."
Shang Wu couldn't help but ask, "Have you found a marriage partner yet?"
"Um."
Which company is it?
Lu Rang's gaze turned serious as he stared at her.
Shang Wu quickly looked away, saying awkwardly, "I was just gossiping."
Lu Rang kept staring at her and said slowly and deliberately, "I can't reveal it. When the time is right, I will ask the woman for her opinion. Marriage is a matter of mutual consent."
Shang Wu's eyes flickered: "I see."
She felt a pang of sadness and wanted to ask if he could please not marry anyone else.
But Qianjue said that Lu Rang gave up his career as a lawyer for her sake in order to become the Chief Censor of the Censorate.
They've sacrificed so much for the common goal of the business case that she can't selfishly ask them to stay.
The two fell silent.
Shang Wu felt down and yawned, "I'm sleepy, take me home."
Lu Rang watched her close her eyes, his gaze becoming direct and intense.
He stared at Shang Wu for a few seconds, then stepped on the gas.
I arrived home in fifteen minutes.
Lu Rang stopped the car and turned off the engine. Seeing that Shang Wu was still asleep with her eyes closed, he leaned over and helped her unbuckle her seatbelt.
We're closer now.
He caught a faint whiff of jasmine from Shang Wu's hair.
Lu Rang slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Shang Wu's eyebrows and eyes, and landing on her slightly moving lips.
His throat bobbed, and just as he was about to press his lips against Shang Wu's, he restrained himself and instead placed his kiss on her cool forehead.
Just as he was about to straighten up, a slender arm suddenly hooked around his lower back.
The next second, Shang Wu lightly kissed Lu Rang's lips, then withdrew immediately, her watery eyes reflecting his suddenly contracting pupils.
“Lawyer Lu”.
Her voice held a hint of emotion: "You have a marriage prospect in mind, yet you still kiss me?"
Lu Rang's eyes were deep and unfathomable, filled with emotions that were hard to describe.
He gripped the back of Shang Wu's neck, his fingertips sinking into her soft hair, and spoke through his disordered breathing: "The one I've set my sights on is already sitting in the passenger seat."
Shang Wu was stunned.
Like Pandora's box being opened, restrained probing turned into boldly tasting forbidden fruit, and the threads of reason crumbled in the mind.
The scalding breath landed on the corner of her lips. Shang Wu closed her eyes and grabbed Lu Rang's sleeve tightly until the silver cufflink was torn off and imprinted on her palm.
"Ding ding ding—"
A sudden cell phone ring interrupted the argument inside the car.
Shang Wu woke up with a start and reached for her phone in her pocket.
Lu Rang turned his head, pulled her into his arms, and reached into the other side of her coat to take out her phone.
The two were very close, their breaths mingling.
They both looked down and saw the three characters "Zhou Yanci".
Shang Wu frowned slightly and pushed Lu Rang off her.
Lu Rang pursed his lips, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he kept her locked in his arms, refusing to move.
Shang Wu had no choice but to lean on him to answer the phone.
Zhou Yanci's low, suppressed voice came from the phone.
Where are you?
For a moment, Shang Wu almost thought that Zhou Yanci was nearby and had stumbled upon her kissing Lu Rang.
She glanced out the window and calmly asked, "At home? What's wrong?"
Zhou Yanci took a deep breath: "Come to the hospital immediately."
The phone went dead with a beep.
Shang Wu tightened her grip on the phone with her fingers and slowly exhaled.
Lu Rang lowered his eyes and stared at her.
Shang Wu leaned back slightly, raised an eyebrow and looked him in the eye: "Lawyer Lu, kissing someone else's fiancée is not a glorious thing."
Lu Rang reached out and brushed his thumb across the glistening moisture on her lips: "It doesn't matter."
He grasped Shang Wu's cold fingertips; beneath his rationality lay an endless possessiveness.
"By the end of this month, I will investigate the merchant's case for you, and you should resolve it as soon as possible."
Shang Wu smiled and asked, "And then?"
Lu Rang swallowed hard and said, slowly and deliberately, "Then, consider me."
...
Hospital.
When Shang Wu rushed over, she touched up her lipstick in the elevator. Thinking about what happened in the car, her already burning cheeks felt even hotter.
She exhaled, calmed herself down, and stepped out of the elevator. As soon as she reached the door of the ward, she heard crying coming from inside.
"It's gone, Ah Ci, our child is gone..."
Shang Wu frowned, but quickly regained her composure and calmly walked in.
"What happened?"
The patient, who was lying in bed, raised her head. She was wearing a hospital gown, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and she was crying with tears streaming down her face.
Zhou Yanci had a gloomy face. He turned his head and saw Shang Wu appear. He stood up and walked step by step to her.
"The sleeping child is gone."
He stared at her as he said this.
Shang Wu was surprised, "How could this happen? What caused it?"
"Don't you know better than anyone else?" Zhou Yanci narrowed her eyes, her tone full of suppressed anger.
Shang Wu paused slightly: "How would I know? From what you're saying, her losing her child has something to do with me?"
Shenmian looked up, her eyes red and swollen: "Miss Shang, of course you know about this! In the restaurant's restroom, you followed me and handed me a handkerchief. After I wiped my face and hands with the handkerchief, I started to feel uncomfortable. The doctor said that the handkerchief had been soaked in medicine! If a person with a weak constitution uses it, it may cause a miscarriage!"
Shang Wu's head was throbbing: "Do you think this is a palace drama? Give me a break."
Zhou Yanci tossed the handkerchief in her hand to her.
"The handkerchief is right here. The doctor's tests showed it contained safflower and Euphorbia kansui, and you still won't admit it!"
The handkerchief fell on Shang Wu.
She caught it, smelled a strong medicinal odor, and suddenly looked up, her icy gaze fixed on Chenmian.
She truly never imagined that the slumber would cause her to lose her child.
It seems that Liu Ziye's appearance really scared Shenmian out of her wits. Fearing that the matter of the child could not be covered up, she simply had an abortion herself and then blamed it on Liu Ziye.
Chenmian sobbed, meeting Shang Wu's icy gaze, and taking advantage of Zhou Yanci's inability to see, she silently provoked and sneered behind him.
"Shangwu, I know that my affair with Aci is something that can't be made public, and I'm sorry to you, but the child is innocent. If you're angry with me, take it out on me. Why did you kill my child!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou's mother rushed into the ward. Seeing the expressions on their faces, she instantly understood everything.
She took a step back, then rushed forward again, grabbing Shang Wu's sleeve and demanding, "Why! We gave you all the shares, just to keep this child! Why are you so heartless and vicious! Give me back my grandson! Give him back!"
Shang Wu was pulled so hard by Zhou's mother that she could barely stand, and her sleeves were deformed.
Unable to bear it any longer, she shook off Zhou's mother's hand, raised her eyes and said, "What's the use of questioning me now that things have already been done and the child is gone?"
After he finished speaking, the ward fell silent.
The group looked at Shang Wu with incredulous expressions.
Shenmian never expected that Shangwu would actually admit it.
She didn't do anything, so why did she admit it?
Shocked and bewildered, Chenmian burst into tears: "Did you hear that? She admitted it herself!"
Zhou Yanci clenched her fists tightly, her chest heaving violently, her breathing rapid with anger: "Why! I gave you everything, and I promised you I would break up with Shen Mian. I only wanted the child in her womb, why did you kill her child!"
"Because I hate raising other people's children, because I can't stand Chenmian, because you were wrong in the first place, you wronged me, and you deserve to lose everything."
Shang Wu looked at him calmly and said, "Now you can make a choice: cancel the wedding with me, or pretend nothing happened."
Zhou Yanci was suddenly stunned.
Even in deep sleep, the crying ceased.
She stared blankly at Shang Wu, finally understanding why she had acted so impulsively, so eagerly admitting to being the villain.
Zhou Yanci's words are inseparable from Shang Wu.
Even if she harmed his child.
Even if she used this child to set a trap, Shang Wu could be so arrogant as to admit it directly and not let Zhou Yanci lay a finger on her.
Zhou Yanci had to bow his head, compromise, and suppress his anger to marry her.
Unless he abandons the company, the shares, and the fiancée who can bring him benefits, and is willing to have nothing at all.
"Choose."
Shang Wu smiled, her eyes crinkling, as she shone her high heels across the pristine white floor. She grabbed Zhou Yanci's collar, forcing him to lower his head.
"See, I'm just that bad, but you still don't dare to cancel the wedding with me, right?"
