Chapter 3: Lighting Sky Lanterns Three Times
"Why did you faint?"
There seemed to be a hint of concern in Lu Xiuyuan's voice.
Noticing the way she looked at Lin Weixia, Lu Xiuyuan offered no explanation.
Only now did Shen Qianyu realize that in the past five years, she had never replaced Lin Weixia in his heart.
"Hypoglycemia".
Lu Xiuyuan knew that Shen Qianyu had low blood sugar.
Therefore, when she said this directly, Lu Xiuyuan wouldn't even think about it from another angle.
"Make sure to eat every meal at the normal time."
"knew."
"Since you're alright, and I have other things to do, I'll be going now."
After Lu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he walked forward, with Lin Weixia following behind, looking at him with a provocative smile.
Shen Qianyu stood there, motionless for a long time.
The moment Lu Xiuyuan left, her heart ached as if something was tearing at it.
She walked out, ready to hail a taxi, when she saw a Hongqi L9 appear in front of her.
The car window rolled down, revealing Fu Yanci.
"Get in the car."
Shen Qianyu was surprised to hear his command before he had even left.
Shen Qianyu wanted to refuse, but Fu Yanci said, "Although you fainted in front of my car, it was still my car that hit you. I will take full responsibility. Get in."
Shen Qianyu didn't stand on ceremony with him, opened the car door, and sat next to him.
Aside from work, the two of them never really interacted much.
I should say something right now, but I don't know how to start.
Where to?
Shen Qianyu said somewhat awkwardly, "Government Affairs Hall."
Fu Yanci glanced at her with his deep eyes: "Need to do something?"
"yes."
Fu Yanci didn't ask any further questions and had the driver take her to the government affairs hall.
Before coming down, Shen Qianyu didn't forget to thank him.
She had brought all her identification documents with her before she came out.
Upon arriving at the government service hall, Shen Qianyu inquired about the number of windows required for processing her travel documents. After carefully noting the details, she completed the process within a morning.
The last young lady told her that the procedures would be completed in about half a month, at which point she could come here to pick them up.
Lu Xiuyuan's family has members who served in the military and politics, so he can't go abroad. This was an agreement between her and Tang Ning. After she leaves, Tang Ning will tell Lu Xiuyuan.
In just half a month, Shen Qianyu will be able to leave this place that has caused her so much pain and sorrow.
In the afternoon, Shen Qianyu went back and submitted her resignation.
Lu Xiuyuan's assistant, Fang Yan, glanced at it and said, "Ms. Shen, your resignation needs to be approved by President Lu. I don't have that authority. Did you call him before?"
Shen Qianyu withdrew her resignation letter and looked into Lu Xiuyuan's office.
"Isn't he here?"
Nothing could be seen; the door to Lu Xiuyuan's office was tightly closed.
"No, he hasn't come all day."
Shen Qianyu was not surprised. Having finally married her beloved, it was naturally impossible for her to come these few days.
But it doesn't matter, she'll leave sooner or later anyway.
Just as Shen Qianyu turned to leave, Fang Yan asked again:
"Ms. Shen, may I ask why you want to resign?"
Everyone knows about the Lu Group. Shen Qianyu loves Lu Xiuyuan so much that she would do anything for him.
Since she joined the company, she has been a workaholic, and she has even secured several deals for the Lu Group that seemed impossible to close.
Everyone knows that Shen Qianyu is waiting for the day when Lu Xiuyuan achieves success and fame so that he can propose to her.
Moreover, based on her tenure at the company and her performance, the Lu Group has a rule that she is entitled to a small portion of shares.
Even a small portion can receive at least one billion in dividends each year.
No one would choose to leave at a time like this.
"I'm a little tired, I don't want to do it anymore."
Shen Qianyu replied indifferently, not wanting to explain to Fang Yan.
It was obvious that Fang Yan didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any more questions.
...
Shen Qianyu knew very well that Lu Xiuyuan still had some feelings for her, but these feelings were not romantic love, but rather gratitude.
He can't let her resign, so if she really wants to leave the company, she'll have to find another way.
Back home, she prepared to tidy up her things. She glanced at the small gifts Lu Xiuyuan had bought for her and stuffed them directly into a trash bag to throw them away.
You don't need to bring too many clothes on this trip; you can buy more abroad if you need more.
After tidying up for a while, her good friend Yun Shu sent her another message.
"Damn! Didn't these two say they wouldn't go public? What's with Lu Xiuyuan bringing Lin Weixia to the auction?"
"Let them go wherever they want."
Shen Qianyu didn't tell Yun Shu about her departure, afraid that Yun Shu would be sad and upset. She planned to tell Yun Shu after she left.
If Yun Shu is angry with her... there's nothing she can do.
"Judging from your dejected tone, Shen Qianyu, you've been by Lu Xiuyuan's side all these years, why should Lin Weixia get all the benefits? Come here right now."
Shen Qianyu didn't want to go, but for some reason, she couldn't stop thinking about it, so she had no choice but to put down what she was doing and take a taxi to the auction.
When Yun Shu saw her, she quickly called her over.
"Luckily, they were on the second floor, and no one knew who they were. Otherwise, if news of their marriage registration came out, believe me, Lu Xiuyuan would be despised by thousands of people."
Shen Qianyu looked towards the second floor, a place where only the powerful and wealthy would go.
No one will know who's inside, but anyone who tries to bid against the people inside is practically asking for death.
Suddenly, the crowd cheered.
"My God, who is in that room? This is the third time they've lit a sky lantern for their wife. I'm so envious of her!"
Yun Shu was absolutely furious: "Ever since Lu Xiuyuan became the head of the Lu family, what has he ever given you? He actually lit three sky lanterns for that Lin Weixia! It's infuriating!"
A bitter feeling rose in Shen Qianyu's heart. Once, a client from out of town came and wanted to see the auction. At that time, Shen Qianyu and Lu Xiuyuan didn't have much money.
Shen Qianyu took a liking to a necklace, and Lu Xiuyuan noticed it too. He told her that when he was in that position, he would definitely bring her to the auction.
As it turned out, he did come, but he brought another woman with him.
After the auction ended, Lu Xiuyuan lit sky lanterns five times for Lin Weixia, which shocked everyone and even became a trending topic online.
Because it was so mysterious, no one knew who it was.
When they came out, Lu Xiuyuan and Lin Weixia had already arrived at the door.
With a happy smile on her face, Lin Weixia said to Lu Xiuyuan in a coquettish tone, "Didn't I tell you? You don't need to buy me so many. Look, you lit the sky lantern five times. That's too high-profile."
Lu Xiuyuan reached out and pinched her cheek, his face full of doting affection.
"I can give you anything you want."
Does that include your life?
Lin Weixia asked, half-jokingly.
Lu Xiuyuan lowered his hand and said with utmost seriousness, "Yes, including my life."
Shen Qianyu's pupils contracted sharply, and her heart ached terribly.
Yun Shu was about to step forward, but Shen Qianyu stopped her.
Lin Weixia happened to see Shen Qianyu and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiuyuan, Qianyu is here too."
Lu Xiuyuan turned his head and saw Shen Qianyu. He wasn't happy at all; instead, he was displeased, as if asking, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Qianyu was stung by Lu Xiuyuan's gaze, so she didn't greet them and pulled Yun Shu away.
"Qianyu, have you misunderstood something?"
Lin Weixia went over to grab Shen Qianyu and explain.
Just then, a car came speeding towards Shen Qianyu and Lin Weixia.
