“Awu, don’t take it too seriously. It was just an accident. That’s just how A-Rang is. He can’t stand seeing people get hurt in front of him. Go back and rest. Were you scared? I’ll handle things here.”
Seeing that Lu Rang clearly didn't want to say anything more, or even look at her, Shang Wu swallowed all her words.
She simply nodded in the end, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "Sister You, I'm sorry."
After saying that, she stopped looking at anyone, turned around, and walked quickly towards the restaurant entrance.
Behind her, Lu Rang's gaze finally stopped concealing itself and followed her slender figure closely.
Even after she disappeared behind the revolving door, his gaze remained fixed on her, his deep eyes filled with an unyielding melancholy.
Lu You sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Don't look anymore, everyone's gone."
She paused, a complex meaning in her voice, "It seems you should have an answer in your heart by now."
Lu Rang slowly closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing.
After a long silence, he parted his thin lips slightly: "Not necessarily."
Lu You frowned at him helplessly, but ultimately said nothing.
...
"President Shang, wait for me!"
A-Ying chased after Shang Wu to the door of their hotel room, panting heavily.
"Why are you walking so fast, Mr. Shang? I almost missed the elevator."
Shang Wu's heart was still restless.
The scene of Lu Rang standing in front of her, his pale face, his furrowed brows, and Lu You skillfully bandaging him, kept replaying in her mind.
She rubbed her temples in frustration, trying to banish the images.
Ah Ying entered the room and silently handed her a glass of warm water: "Are you alright?"
Shang Wu shook her head, and just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.
The words "Sister You" were displayed on the screen.
She took a deep breath and answered the phone.
Shang Wu asked in a calm tone, "Sister You, how is he?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu You's voice sounded extremely urgent, and there was some background noise.
"Awu! There's a sudden emergency at home, I have to rush back immediately, the flight is about to take off!"
Shang Wu was taken aback: "Now? So soon?"
“Yes! It happened so suddenly.” Lu You spoke very quickly. “I was worried about Ah Rang. His burns on his back were quite severe, and he was very stubborn. He refused to go to the hospital and only had the hotel doctor come to see him and prescribe some medicine, saying that he needed to change the dressing and rest regularly.”
“I won’t be back for a while, could you please look after him for me? He’s staying in a suite on the top floor of your hotel.”
Shang Wu was completely stunned and instinctively wanted to refuse: "Sister You, this isn't appropriate for me, and I have a competition tomorrow..."
"Ah Wu, I'm begging you! I don't trust anyone else, but please, just do a friend a favor, okay? The dressing change kit and doctor's orders are on the coffee table in his room, it's very simple! Please! I have to board the plane now, I'll contact you when I arrive!"
"Sister You? Wait a minute..."
Lu You didn't give Shang Wu a chance to refuse and hurriedly hung up the phone, leaving only a busy tone.
Shang Wu held her phone, looking at A Ying with a helpless expression, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Lu You's departure was too coincidental.
Aying frowned: "Mr. Shang, what does Miss Lu mean by this? Is she asking you to take care of Attorney Lu? Doesn't she know about your past relationship with Attorney Lu...?"
Shang Wu smiled wryly: "I don't know if she knows or not."
But she couldn't completely ignore Lu You's plea for help, especially since Lu Rang's injury was indeed because of her.
“Let’s go,” she sighed, standing up. “Let’s go up and see. After all, he was injured while saving me.”
Aying frowned, sensing something was wrong. But she followed anyway.
Outside the presidential suite on the top floor.
Shang Wu took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
