Chapter 169 Can We Get Married?



"Have something to drink before getting up. What are you looking at?"

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the wedding dress on Shang Wu's screen, and his expression changed slightly.

Shang Wu smiled and casually swiped away.

"I'm just reading the e-magazine that was sent to me this morning, nothing special."

She picked up the milk, sat up, took a sip, and put it on the table.

Lu Rang sat down as well, picked up her phone which she had just turned off, unlocked it, and found the e-magazine she had been reading.

He was silent for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Are you very disappointed that the engagement party didn't happen?"

Shang Wu was surprised, wondering how he had figured it out.

But she didn't want Lu Rang to feel burdened, so she immediately said, "There were too many changes at the time. I think it was a good thing not to have an engagement banquet. There are no regrets. At least after that ruined engagement banquet, we both learned some things and knew how to move forward better."

Lu Rang nodded, looking at her as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Shang Wu was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? If you have any thoughts, you can tell me directly."

Lu Rang shook his head and said softly, "I don't have any ideas. If you like any of the wedding dresses here, pick one and I'll have them custom-made for you. Once we're done with our work, we can go on a destination wedding abroad, okay?"

Shang Wu paused slightly, looking at his demeanor, which seemed no different from usual.

Lu Rang once said that he would give her the grandest engagement and wedding ceremonies, and that she could hold as many engagement banquets as she wanted, however she pleased.

But she hasn't mentioned marriage yet, and Lu Rang is already saying he wants to have a destination wedding.

In this way, the wedding cannot be held openly and legitimately in the country.

Shang Wu knew why.

Being with her, Ruan Yuzhi's daughter, until their marriage, Lu Rang experienced far more pressure than he showed.

Shang Wu didn't want any marriage; she only wanted Lu Rang.

Lu Rang's deliberate avoidance is not a sign that things will get better.

Hiding and concealing has never been her style.

Shang Wu didn't say anything, but leaned on Lu Rang's shoulder and gently tugged at his wrist.

"Okay, whatever you say goes, we'll do it. I'll listen to you and have no objections."

Lu Rang smiled slightly, a slight curve to his lips.

He raised his hand and ruffled Shang Wu's hair.

"Once we're done with our work, we'll take some time to travel abroad."

Shang Wu nodded absentmindedly: "I'll listen to you."

She remained silent, finished most of her glass of milk, got up to wash up, and went back to her office to work.

After a busy morning meeting, Shang Wu rubbed her neck.

Seeing A-Ying tidying up the files on her desk, she suddenly asked, "A-Ying, have you ever been in a relationship?"

Aying was startled, wondering why her boss had suddenly started questioning her about her romantic history.

She laughed, a little nervously: "Mr. Shang, you're not scared, are you? Afraid that I'll suddenly resign and run off to marry someone else and have children? Don't worry, I won't!"

"I've been in many relationships, but each one started quickly and ended even faster. I never really got to know each other. And after I started working, I had even less of a passion for it."

A-Ying answered truthfully.

Speaking of which, she does have a rich romantic history.

After hearing her words, Shang Wu blinked curiously.

"Okay, I understand."

"Mr. Shang, what do you understand?" Aying asked curiously.

Shang Wu gave her a deep look: "Anyway, you've been with the company for several years since you graduated, and you haven't had much time to date. Asking you for advice is useless. I'd better ask someone else."

After saying that, Shang Wu closed the document and went to work.

Aying was unconvinced and tried to stop her.

"Mr. Shang, how can you look down on me like that? Although I haven't been in a relationship for a long time, I still watch plenty of idol dramas! Don't I know how to make someone happy?"

"Tell me quickly what happened?" She pressed Shang Wu down to sit at the table.

Shang Wu always felt that saying this would damage her image.

"You know what Lu Zheng said. I've already verified it. Lu Rang doesn't seem to care on the surface, but he's definitely bothered by it. His attitude towards me has been very strange these past few days. Do you think there's any way to change the situation?"

As Aying listened, her expression became completely solemn.

She looked at Shang Wu, hesitant to speak, and raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Shang Wu asked nervously.

Aying shrugged: "I just didn't expect that you and Attorney Lu had this kind of issue."

"I just wanted to ask you if there's any way to change this strange atmosphere between me and Lu Rang, but if you don't feel anything's wrong, then I guess I'm just overthinking it."

Shang Wu exhaled and stood up.

"Okay, get back to work."

Aying thought for a moment, then followed behind her, step by step.

"President Shang, don't be too hard on yourself. The past is painful, but I believe that Attorney Lu's feelings for you are still there and will not change. He just needs time."

Shang Wu stared at the ever-increasing number of floors in the elevator.

She was in too much of a rush today.

Too much has happened lately, and Lu Rang has no mood to think about marriage.

bite--

The elevator doors opened.

Before Shang Wu could even step inside, she suddenly bumped into someone.

She took a half-step back in surprise, thinking she had misread it.

"...Qianjue, what are you doing here?"
