Shang Wu's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
The next second, her pupils reflected an incredibly dazzling and romantic scene.
The car's trunk was fully opened, revealing a garden that seemed to have been enchanted.
Countless red roses surged forth, almost spilling onto the ground.
In the center of the rose, a huge heart is made of white baby's breath, and in the middle of the heart is an open, velvet box.
Lu Rang suddenly released Shang Wu's hand and took a step back.
Shang Wu subconsciously turned to look at him.
Lu Rang knelt on one knee, looking up at her. His eyes, which were always filled with indifference or pain, were now filled with deep affection.
He took out a diamond ring from the small velvet box; the ring shone brilliantly under the light.
“Awu…”
He spoke, his voice low and hoarse with nervousness.
“I know I’m not doing well right now. I’ve severed ties with my father and am no longer the so-called young master of the Yu family. I have nothing at all.”
He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Shang Wu.
“However, I opened a law firm in Yecheng, and I also recruited Yan Yue. We will work together, I will take on many, many cases, and I will do my best to give you the best life. I will never let you suffer any injustice.”
His eyes were sincere, filled with a do-or-die courage.
“So,” Lu Rang took a deep breath and asked the most important question, “would you still be willing to be with me like this? Not just temporarily, but for a lifetime.”
Shang Wu's tears had already fallen.
Looking at the man in front of her, who had set aside all his pride and knelt down to propose, and at his clumsy yet incredibly sincere promise, her heart swelled with emotion.
Shang Wu, not wanting to cry her eyes out, jokingly asked, "Do you know how to run a law firm? What if you can't get any cases and go bankrupt?"
When Lu Rang saw her smile, his tense nerves relaxed a bit, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile as well.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to run a business. At worst, I'll sacrifice my looks and seduce a few rich women to help with divorce cases. Anyway, I definitely won't let you go hungry, and I won't lower your quality of life in the slightest."
Even though it was a joke, it reassured Shang Wu more than any sweet words.
She couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you been testing me all this time? When did you arrange all this for the proposal, and the law firm you opened? What if you find out I don't like you anymore?"
Lu Rang smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll do anything to get you."
Shang Wu looked at the diamond ring, her heart stirred slightly.
His actions told her that he was truly planning for their shared future and had absolute confidence and ability to achieve it.
Shang Wu glared at him. "Forced acquisition won't work on me."
As she spoke, she extended her left hand.
"Then hurry up and put it on me! Doesn't your knee hurt from kneeling for so long?"
Lu Rang smiled, his hand almost trembling, as he put the ring on Shang Wu's left ring finger.
He stood up, pulled Shang Wu into a tight embrace, and kissed her.
Shang Wu stood on tiptoe to respond to him.
The underground parking garage was filled with the fragrance of roses, a scene of tender affection.
However, a very faint footstep suddenly came from the direction of the garage entrance.
Shang Wu was taken aback and separated from Lu Rang.
In the shadows at the garage entrance, Shang Yun Shen stood quietly, watching for an unknown amount of time.
His handsome face showed no obvious anger, but rather a deep, obscure, and complex emotion. His eyes seemed to be veiled by a thin mist, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts at that moment.
Shang Wu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously gripped Lu Rang's clothes.
Lu Rang felt her tension and pulled her even closer behind him.
The gentleness and smile on his face vanished the moment he looked at Shang Yun Shen, replaced by a wary calm.
Lu Rang released Shang Wu and walked step by step toward Shang Yun Shen.
Two equally tall men stood facing each other in the dim light of the garage, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
"Shang Yunshen".
Lu Rang spoke first, his voice calm.
He called out her name directly, "I know what you want to say. I know all about the past grievances, one by one."
His gaze was sharp, fixed on Shang Yun Shen's unfathomable eyes.
“It was your mother, and your father. I’m sorry to my mother first. She had a mental breakdown. You know very well where the root of all the torment I’ve suffered over the years lies.”
Shang Wu was so nervous behind him that she could barely breathe.
Lu Rang paused, his tone turning somber, carrying a deliberate, almost cruel, kindness.
“But now that A-Wu’s mother has passed away, the debts are settled with her. I don’t intend to hold a grudge against a deceased person anymore, nor do I want to settle this old score with your father.”
He stepped forward, getting closer to Shang Yun Shen, and lowered his voice even further: "So, Shang Yun Shen, you'd better behave yourself and stop bothering us. A Wu, I'm determined to marry you. This isn't asking for your consent, it's just informing you."
Shang Wu held her breath, waiting for Shang Yun Shen's reaction.
She wasn't sure how Shang Yunshen would react.
After his mother's death, Shang Yunshen became very depressed and rarely contacted her.
Seeing this scene suddenly, she didn't care about Shang Yun Shen's reaction or thoughts, but she was afraid that he might be provoked by something and start fighting with Lu Rang again.
However, Shang Yun Shen did not explode after hearing Lu Rang's words.
His ambiguous expression flickered, and his tightly pursed lips loosened slightly.
Shang Yun Shen remained silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking.
"you're right."
