When Lu Rang finally released Shang Wu, both of them were breathing heavily.
He lowered his head, his forehead touching Shang Wu's, his thumb tracing her slightly swollen lips: "I'll pick you up tonight."
Shang Wu was still immersed in his offensive and nodded in a daze.
She stopped abruptly as she stepped out of the elevator, her rationality returning.
no.
She couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Since the psychologist said this was the trigger for Lu Rang's condition, she couldn't ask Lu Rang directly. The most direct way was to go to Lu Rang's father.
Although Lu Rang and Lu Zheng did not get along, the person who controlled everything in the Yu family knew best what had happened back then.
Regardless, she believed that Lu Rang had never harmed anyone.
Even during his illness, he wouldn't be so outrageous as to harm his own brother.
"Aying, cancel all my schedules for the next week. Let my brother be the president, and he and Vice President Wen can manage the group. I need to free up some time to take care of some personal matters."
Ah Ying was surprised to hear this, wondering what she was trying to do with her private affairs.
After all, Shang Wu had never asked for leave for any reason.
But she didn't ask any more questions. After arranging the work, she left in a hurry.
Just as Shang Wu sat down at her desk, Ruan Yuzhi called.
"What have you thought about it?" Ruan Yuzhi's voice was tinged with weariness. "Awu, Mom isn't trying to force you, but you have to make a decision about this..."
"Mom, give me another half month."
Shang Wu interrupted her, "I promise I will handle everything and make a decision within half a month."
She hung up the phone, looked at the calendar, and seemed lost in thought.
She must find out the truth.
...
My phone vibrated as I was leaving get off work.
Shang Wu picked up her phone.
It was a text message sent by Lu Rang at the very last minute before he was supposed to leave work.
[8:00 AM, 1801 Champs-Élysées.]
Shang Wu stared at the screen for a long time.
This place is a famous restaurant for couples.
She sighed and replied, "I have work to do."
After sending it, Shang Wu felt a little regretful.
I wonder if Lu Rang will be angry.
But now she was preoccupied with her own thoughts and couldn't enjoy her date with Lu Rang.
By the time she came to her senses and decided to back down, it was too late.
Shang Wu let out a breath.
Forget it, even if they meet, they won't be able to enjoy this dinner properly, and the atmosphere might even be quite tense.
Shang Wu packed her things and entered the elevator. Just as she stepped out of the company, she saw Tang Xueli walking towards her.
She asked in surprise, "What brings you here?"
Tang Xueli grabbed her hand: "Come have a drink with me, I have something I want to tell you."
Shang Wu went with her.
Unfortunately, the place that Shirley Tang drove her to was also on Champs-Élysées, and coincidentally, it was right across from restaurant number 1801.
Shang Wu paused, glanced back at the other side, and followed Tang Xueli inside.
I reckon Lu Rang has already left by now, so he probably won't see her.
She and Shirley Tang ordered a bottle of red wine and talked about what had happened in the past two days while drinking.
The Su family knew that Su Tingting had deliberately targeted Shang Wu at the banquet, and just as Shang Wu had said, they put Su Tingting in solitary confinement.
Su Tingting wondered if Shang Wu was complaining to her father behind her back or relentlessly smearing her in the industry.
Shang Wu was not surprised to hear this.
Su Tingting's ghost never left, and she was used to it.
It's just that this kind of thing is like having flies buzzing around your ear; you can't get rid of them, and they're really annoying.
Shang Wu said calmly, "I'll call the Su family."
Tang Xueli nodded, then pulled her aside to talk about other things.
After the meal, the two came out of the restaurant with relaxed smiles on their faces as they chatted and laughed.
It wasn't until Shang Wu saw the familiar Lexus parked on her left that Lu Rang leaned against the car, looking at them expressionlessly.
"It seems your work is finished." Lu Rang's voice was somewhat cold.
Tang Shirley sensed something was off between them. "Um, I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
She quickly slipped away, leaving Shang Wu alone to face Lu Rang.
"Get in." Lu Rang opened the passenger door.
Shang Wu got into the car and explained, "Tang Xueli came to the company to see me, so I couldn't refuse."
Lu Rang stared silently ahead, not uttering a single word.
The car sped up, and when it finally stopped in a secluded spot near the park, Lu Rang turned off the engine and turned to her.
"It's been two days." Lu Rang's voice was low. "For two days you've been avoiding me, lying to me, accepting flowers from other people, and now you won't eat with me, but are going out with other people. What's wrong with you? Is it really just because you're under a lot of pressure that you're avoiding me?"
He reached out to touch Shang Wu, but fearing he might hurt her in his anger, he hesitated and withdrew his hand.
This was not what he expected.
After the business case was resolved, it was a natural progression to officially announce their relationship and meet each other's parents. They got engaged.
Shang Wu should give him a reasonable status.
Just like when she got engaged to Zhou Yanci.
Anxiety, jealousy, and disappointment.
Lu Rang appeared calm, but his fists were clenched tightly, his emotions already at their peak.
"Don't you want to be with me anymore?"
