Shang Wu rubbed her temples and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard you and my friend Ji Yu exchanged contact information. Have you been chatting these past few days?"
Lu Rang paused for two seconds: "This is my private matter."
"I want to know," Shang Wu pressed.
Lu Rang remained silent for a moment before speaking: "After getting to know her, she seems to be interested in me."
Shang Wu leaned against the headboard, gazing at the night view outside, and said meaningfully, "Lawyer Lu must also be interested in her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have added her contact information."
"Are you jealous?" Lu Rang suddenly asked.
Upon hearing his startling words, Shang Wu almost bit her tongue and immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? I was just asking around."
"oh."
Lu Rang only said one word, and then said nothing more.
Shang Wu sensed something strange about the call and cleared her throat: "Okay, then I'll hang up..."
"She was blocking my way."
Lu interrupted her: "She won't let me go downstairs if I don't give her my contact information."
The call ended abruptly as soon as he finished speaking.
Shang Wu stared blankly at her phone screen, somewhat unable to process what was happening.
What's going on...?
Lu Rang was explaining that he was forced to give out his contact information?
As Shang Wu was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the ward door.
She looked up, but to her surprise, the person she saw was Chenmian.
Shenmian came in carrying a large bouquet of lilies and smiled gently at Shang Wu: "Miss Shang, I heard you were injured. I only managed to find time to come see you today. You don't mind, do you?"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes, looking at the woman who seemed to have ill intentions: "I mind."
Chenmian paused for a moment, then gave a helpless, bitter smile: "Sigh, there's nothing I can do, I've been too busy these past few days..."
“I mean, I mind you coming to see me; I find it unlucky,” Shang Wu interrupted her, her tone cold and sarcastic.
She immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Zhou Yanci.
When Chenmian came running off in a fit of madness, she couldn't be bothered to deal with it.
Whoever's woman is responsible for her own affairs.
Chenmian's face turned pale, and she almost couldn't maintain her polite expression.
Shang Wu smiled faintly, not intending to play along: "Alright, there's no one else here, so why bother coming to see me? You seem to be happier than anyone else to see me disfigured."
Shenmian pursed her lips, closed the door, and then crossed her arms, watching her with a leisurely air.
"I'm only seeing you because of our business relationship. Do you think I wanted to come here? I've been working overtime with A-Ci at the company these past few days, and I haven't had enough sleep every night. How could I have time to come see you?"
She raised an eyebrow, her tone laced with pride.
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "Zhou Yanci has been working overtime these past two days. Have you been with him?"
"yes."
Chenmian laughed and casually walked to the bedside: "Do you think you're important to him? He's only called a few times these past two days, hasn't he? He's more than happy to spend time with me than with you!"
Shang Wu smiled too.
She laughed at Zhou Yanci, who prided himself on being smart, saying he would never have imagined having such a terrible teammate.
He was pretending to be deeply in love over there, while his unrequited love was desperately trying to win him over.
"You, you can still laugh?" Shenmian looked at Shangwu in astonishment, thinking she had gone mad.
Shang Wu withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "You think you can provoke me by saying these things? You're dreaming."
"Isn't what I've said enough to prove that Ah Ci only has me in her heart?"
Shenmian frowned, staring intently at her: "Shang Wu, you're so eager to become the president's wife, but you probably don't know that Aci has long been fed up with you. She'll just kick you out after this limited-edition design is released!"
Bang!
The door to the ward behind me was violently flung open.
Zhou Yanci's face was ashen as he stared intently at Chen Mian as he walked towards her step by step.
Startled, Chenmian retreated in confusion: "Aci, you, why did you suddenly come here?"
"If I hadn't come over, how could I have heard you spouting nonsense in front of A-Wu?"
Zhou Yanci clenched her fists and said in a deep voice, "I've been working overtime at the company these past two days. You took advantage of Xiao Dong's absence and no one was stopping you to come and fuss over me. I have no feelings for you at all. I just didn't kick you out because it's too dangerous for a girl like you to leave the company late at night!"
Chenmian was pale and biting her lip tightly.
"I didn't expect you to come here and brag to A-Wu!" Zhou Yanci pulled her over. "Who gave you permission to sow discord between me and A-Wu? I only have love for A-Wu, I've never used her!"
Chenmian's eyes instantly reddened, but she suddenly saw Zhou Yanci blinking gently, gesturing to her.
She was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized what she had done and played the victim, saying, "Yes, I'm sorry, A-Ci, I was wrong. I shouldn't have come here and talked nonsense."
Zhou Yanci pulled Chenmian to the bedside.
"Apologize to my Ah Wu!"
Shang Wu quietly admired his domineering protective stance.
He blinked so hard his eyes almost popped out. Did he think no one could see that he was implying that he was acting together with Chenmian?
Feeling wronged, Chenmian pushed Zhou Yanci away and ran away.
"Stop right there!" Zhou Yanci quickly chased after him.
The two of them, one after the other, arrived at the deserted stairwell.
As soon as Chenmian entered, she turned around and raised her hand to hit Zhou Yanci, who had followed her.
Zhou Yanci grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"We just made up, and you can't wait to provoke Shang Wu. Aren't you being a little too impatient, darling?"
