"Since Attorney Lu is busy, I won't bother you any longer. I'll have my legal department contact you about the agreement tomorrow!"
After saying that, she quickly left in her high heels.
As soon as the office door closed, Lu Rang immediately pulled Shang Wu into a tight embrace, resting his chin on the top of her head, and asked with a low laugh, "Thank you for getting me out of this predicament. Even with the sign on the door, it didn't help; there were always one or two people bothering me."
Shang Wu understands.
As a law firm just starting out, we can't afford to offend our clients right away.
Lu Rang never cared about his clients' attitude in Lincheng, but now that he's starting his own business, he has to lower his standards a bit.
Lu Rang asked again, "Were you jealous just now?"
Shang Wu blushed. "Who's jealous! I just happened to come and bring you some food."
She felt uncomfortable when she saw that woman getting so close to Lu Rang.
"Looks like Attorney Lu is quite charming," Shang Wu said sarcastically.
“From now on, I will pass these kinds of clients to Yan Yue.”
Lu Rang readily agreed, put his arm around her, and led her to sit down on the sofa. He took a bite of the dessert and said, "Which dessert shop is this? It tastes very good. If you like it, I'll get you a membership card."
"No need," Shang Wu smiled. "Cheng Zhou asked me to try the new product, so I brought it over specially."
Lu Rang held the spoon, looked up at Shang Wu, his tone casual but with a hint of tension: "Did he specifically invite you over for a taste test again?"
"yes."
Shang Wu didn't think much of it, "He cares a lot about feedback on new products, especially..."
She paused, then, remembering Cheng Zhou's true purpose, found it amusing. "He especially wanted to know if Sister You would like sweets. I think he really cares about Sister You."
"Take it seriously?"
Lu Rang chuckled, put down the spoon completely, and his eyes turned slightly cold. "One second he can be fawning over you, and the next he can use you to find out my sister's preferences. I've seen plenty of men like that who are fickle and have fickle minds."
He picked up his phone and called Lu You.
"Lu Rang!"
Shang Wu quickly grabbed his hand, snatched the phone, and hung up, her brows furrowing. "What are you doing!"
“Cheng Zhou looks like he’s got a quick mind. I told my sister to stay away from him,” Lu Rang said firmly.
Seeing his protective attitude towards his sister, Shang Wu sighed and looked intently into his eyes.
"Ah-Rang, calm down. Their relationship is a matter between the two of them, and they should be the ones to feel and decide for themselves. Is it really right for you to interfere, especially under the guise of doing what's best for her?"
She gripped Lu Rang's hand, her voice soft yet firm: "Think about it, didn't we almost miss out completely because of the opposition and interference of others? Put yourself in our shoes, we finally managed to break free from those constraints, are we going to treat your sister the same way now?"
Lu Rang was suddenly startled, thinking of all the things that had happened in the past.
The coldness in his eyes gradually faded, and he gripped Shang Wu's hand tightly.
Lu Rang said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. You're right, I shouldn't have interfered."
To change the subject and lighten the mood, Shang Wu recalled another incident from the day.
She excitedly took out her phone: "By the way, Arjen, I have some good news for you. I received an email today from a college classmate who has now become a very well-known art media person, and his programs have a great influence."
Lu Rang nodded, signaling her to continue.
"He wants to do an exclusive interview with me and also wants to invite me to participate in their special project for the next quarter. This is a great publicity opportunity."
Shang Wu showed Lu Rang photos from Mark's WeChat Moments.
"Look, isn't he handsome?"
Lu Rang took the phone, his gaze falling on the stylishly dressed, confident-smiling man in the photo, before casually swiping the back button.
The phone screen redirects to the chat interface.
He happened to see a few lines of chat history between Shang Wu and Mark.
Mark: [Honestly, Shang Wu, I was immediately attracted to your charisma when I first saw you in the library, but unfortunately you never gave me a chance. Now that we can finally work together, it's truly fate.]
Shang Wu: [Old classmate, please stop joking with me. Looking forward to collaborating.]
Lu Rang frowned slightly.
The other party's words seemed like a joke, but they also revealed a subtle hint of probing and regret.
Men often understand men's thoughts best.
This Mark's intentions go beyond simply wanting to collaborate.
Lu Rang suppressed his displeasure and said calmly, "You've agreed on a time?"
"We haven't talked about it in detail yet. Let's make a phone call later to discuss the specifics."
Shang Wu didn't notice anything unusual about him and took her phone back.
Lu Rang pursed his lips and said nothing.
That evening, they went home together and snuggled up on the sofa in the living room to watch a movie.
Just then, Shang Wu's phone rang.
It was Mark making an overseas call.
