Shang Wu went out, but Lu Rang was not there.
She looked around but didn't see anyone. Just as she was about to go downstairs to look for him, she saw Lu Rang standing opposite a woman at the corner of the stairs in the emergency exit.
She instinctively held her breath and quietly hid to the side.
The woman sighed: "If I hadn't come to the law firm to find you today, when would you have told me the truth? You were doing just fine as a lawyer, why did you go and become a legal advisor for Chengzhou Group? I heard you were still working for that woman, from handling her cases to becoming her advisor, what exactly are you trying to do?"
A woman's words are less of a accusation and more of a sign of helplessness.
Lu Rang was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "My affairs are none of your business."
"If I don't care, who will?" The woman became even angrier.
Shang Wu couldn't help but peek out, and she froze on the spot.
That woman was the woman in the photo that Zhou Yanci sent.
Lu Rang's fiancée.
Her heart sank, and she was about to turn away when she almost bumped into the wall.
Shang Wu gasped and took two steps back.
The stairwell fell silent instantly.
Lu Rang came out and saw her outside; his eyes darkened slightly.
What are you doing here?
Shang Wu subconsciously looked behind him, only to find that the woman had already left.
She paused for a moment, then simply said, "I heard what you were saying. That woman is your fiancée, isn't she?"
Lu Rang raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Fiancée?"
"Since you have a fiancée, you should make things clear. Why didn't you dodge that kiss?"
Shang Wu couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed when she mentioned this.
She said coldly, "When we cooperate in the future, let's not get too close. I don't want your fiancée to misunderstand. You help me with my cases, and I'll help you support Dingfeng in dealing with Jinshui. Our cooperation will be transparent and fair, and that's enough."
After finishing her speech, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, Shang Wu's wrist was grabbed.
She turned around and met Lu Rang's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't.
"You've been so cold to me these past few days, is it because you believed Zhou Yanci's instigation and thought I had a fiancée?"
Shang Wu asked, "Don't you have one? Wasn't that woman your fiancée?"
“It’s my sister.” Lu Rang’s tone was gentle, and upon closer listening, there was even a hint of a smile.
Shang Wu was stunned.
"You, your sister?"
“I have an older sister.” Lu Rang stared at her intently. “Now that you know who she is, are you still going to give me the cold shoulder?”
Shang Wu was speechless and subconsciously pulled her hand away from his.
"I'm just keeping a proper distance from you."
She turned and walked away quickly, but Lu Rang followed her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Until they stood side by side at the elevator entrance.
"Can you stop feeling cold?" Lu Rang asked, glancing at her sideways.
Shang Wu pursed her lips, and all the pent-up frustration in her heart vanished.
She looked up and tucked her hair behind her ear: "We're just colleagues anyway. Whether we're cold or not, as long as we do our jobs well and don't bother each other, that's fine."
Lu Rang moved closer to her: "But since you misunderstood that I have a fiancée, you've been keeping a long face. It's not me who's affected, it's you, isn't it?"
Shang Wu's heart skipped a beat at his words, and she explained, "I'm just angry. If you have a fiancée, you shouldn't be so close to me."
Lu Rang smiled and said, "Name: Lu Rang, male, 26 years old, no fiancée, single, never been in a relationship."
Shang Wu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him: "You've never been in a relationship? You're so handsome and a lawyer..."
But the next second, she nodded knowingly.
"It's perfectly normal that you've never been in a relationship."
Lu Rang couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
Shang Wu smiled and said, "With your strange temper and quiet nature, I doubt any girl would dare to approach you, no matter how handsome you are."
"Then do you dare?" Lu Rang suddenly took a step closer and asked her.
Shang Wu nearly lost control of her expression, shocked: "You...what?"
Lu Rang gave her a deep look before looking away.
"Anyway, you'll have to settle things with Zhou Yanci sooner or later."
"Isn't it still not over?"
Shang Wu instinctively retorted.
The elevator doors opened, and she tried to go inside, but Lu Rang pulled her back so she wouldn't bump into the people coming out.
Lu Rang held her in his arms and waited until everyone had come out before pulling her inside.
The elevator doors closed, and the narrow space became extremely quiet.
Lu Rang's gaze was fixed on Shang Wu, never letting go.
"If we resolve the merchant's case, we can also resolve the Zhou family's..."
Shang Wu looked at him as if she had seen a ghost and interrupted, "Lu Rang, did something happen to you today?"
Lu Rang's expression was solemn, as if he were discussing a major case: "My family is pressuring me to get married. My sister just advised me to go back and go on blind dates. Could you help me out?"
"Are you kidding me? Help you get married? I won't marry someone without feelings." Shang Wu watched the elevator floors descend.
Lu Rang glanced at her and said patiently, "Marriage before love is also possible."
Shang Wu looked at him like he was crazy: "Did you read romance novels as if they were cases?"
"So you won't consider me?" Lu Rang's eyes darkened.
Shang Wu instinctively felt this topic was too dangerous. The elevator doors opened, and she stepped out, casually saying, "I don't like your type. I like..."
Shang Wu thought for a moment: "A clingy, affectionate, and loyal younger man."
Lu Rang slowed down, took out his phone and sent a message to Yan Yue, asking what "clingy, affectionate, and loyal younger man" meant.
Yan Yue sent a sweat-wiping emoji.
Do you really want to know?
Lu Rang: [Speaks.]
Yan Yue: [Attorney Lu, Brother Lu, of these eight words, only the character "人" (person) is related to you.]
Lu Rang narrowed his eyes, blocked Yan Yue, and searched online.
Online sources say that these types of people are loyal, enthusiastic, reliable, and love to act cute.
When they meet someone they like, they will try to win them over with great enthusiasm.
Lu Rang thought about it.
This is definitely not his style.
To impress the other party? That's too inefficient.
He prefers to wait for the right opportunity, then snatch it back and take it home.
