Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 108 - 109: The Unwanted Millet Porridge

Lu Shifeng turned his head to look at her, his gaze like a dagger: "Su Xingyu, you’ve grown a temper."

She was furious, glaring back defiantly: "Mind your own business! Aren’t you supposed to be going to eat? Go on!"

The air around them froze, seemingly about to drop to chilling temperatures. Even Zhuang Heng, who always wore a smile, unwittingly restrained his expression, fearing Lu Shifeng’s wrath. She had rarely seen Lu Shifeng so enraged, as if in the next second he would charge forward to tear that girl apart. But in the end, he just abruptly turned around and strode toward the office door.

Zhuang Heng quickly followed.

As she sighed with relief, a tempest in her heart started to churn. Everyone at Blade Group knew that anyone daring to contradict Lu Shifeng was committing a cardinal sin, and even getting skinned would be mild. But that girl named Su Xingyu? Not only did she stand up to him, she walked away unscathed. Zhuang Heng admitted she probably didn’t have such ability!

She considered countless thoughts, seeing the CEO office door close behind and quickly stepping after Lu Shifeng: "Miss Su is still in your office. Leaving her alone in such a crucial place doesn’t seem prudent, right?"

Lu Shifeng walked with a swift pace, not even a hint of pause: "She is so foolish, could she possibly overturn the world?"

He didn’t even order her removal, just went forward.

Zhuang Heng’s steps hesitated, her face unable to maintain its composure, turning gloomy. The girl standing up to Lu Shifeng could be seen as reckless and ill-mannered; fighting him and pushing him out was something Zhuang Heng enjoyed watching, nearly convincing her she was victorious... But even if that girl angered such a self-determined man like Lu Shifeng, he was still confident enough to leave her alone in his office? This was a privilege no one had!

Not even Zhuang Heng! Not even his chief secretary Xie Jian!

That girl...

The girl named Su Xingyu...

Was an unprecedented threat! Absolutely unprecedented!

Zhuang Heng secretly clenched her teeth, determined to thoroughly investigate Su Xingyu. Set on her decision, her expression returned to normal, becoming once more the elegant, refined young lady of the Zhuang Family. As she passed the secretary desk outside the CEO’s office, she lightly tapped the desk with two well-maintained fingers: "There’s someone inside."

The secretary on duty looked up towards the tightly closed office door, her face altered with fear. She had just seen the Boss go out, and now there was someone inside? This was a grave violation! "I-I’ll clear the room right away!" said the secretary, hurriedly pulling along her colleague to enter the door.

Su Xingyu watched as Lu Shifeng walked away without a backward glance, her chest tightening with fury, feeling almost compelled to hurl the thermos at the door. And what about Zhuang Heng, what was her relationship with him? They seemed so familiar, hmph, dining together. Why doesn’t he marry Zhuang Heng! "Bastard, perverted scoundrel!" she couldn’t help cursing.

At this moment, the door opened.

A hint of joy flitted through her eyes, even she didn’t notice, thinking Lu Shifeng had come back.

But upon looking up, it wasn’t him, merely two secretaries in professional attire politely yet firmly telling her: "Miss, the CEO’s office can’t be left with anyone inside. Please leave promptly."

Su Xingyu felt as if someone poured a bucket of cold water over her.

Fine, Lu Shifeng, I kindly came to bring you food, yet you ran off to dine with another woman and now you expel me!

All of Su Xingyu’s anger was directed at Mr. Lu, picking up her thermos and leaving.

He wasn’t there, so the private elevator wasn’t working; she wound down to the ground via the side stairs, heading to the event planning department to retrieve an award she left behind. The trophy was heavy, weighing her down, holding it with the thermos was dead weight, making it difficult to walk. She barely managed a few steps with these items, compelled to put them down at a corner to rest, it was... too exhausting!

Lifting her hand to fan herself, she glared at the thermos, feeling wronged. Damn Lu Shifeng! If he had just eaten the food she brought, she would have been carrying an empty thermos back, wouldn’t be this troublesome!

Stupid Lu Shifeng! Beastly Lu Shifeng!

She continued cursing him secretly in her heart.

Her insults were interrupted by her phone ringing.

Frantically pulling it out, it was a call from Ouyang Yi: "Hey Xingyu, last night you got first place and forgot about me? Considering I’m such a crucial contributor to your success, right? It’s almost 24 hours later and you haven’t even called me once?"

Su Xingyu had no mood to call him, snapping: "Don’t mention it. I’ve had a night and a day so bursting with frustration, now I’m both tired and hungry and need to move heavy stuff. Remember to burn me some paper money."

On the other end, Ouyang Yi laughed: "Moving heavy stuff? I’ll help you move it."

Su Xingyu rolled her eyes heavenward: "I’m at Blade."

"Blade?" As expected, Ouyang Yi backed away as if avoiding a plague at those words, "Forget it then, I don’t want to go near Blade. The vibes there don’t suit me, plus everyone knows I’m the illegitimate child of the Feiying Steinway Family; why go to a competitor’s territory? Just to be gawked at like a monkey."

Su Xingyu: "You already said you’re an illegitimate child, not involved in family affairs, what’s to fear?"

Ouyang Yi, ever unserious, teased her: "Give me a kiss and I’ll go."

Su Xingyu rolled her eyes again, hanging up with a snap.

Soon, Ouyang Yi called back: "Hey gorgeous, don’t be like that, it’s bad habit to hang up over disagreements, really bad habit! Calm down, let me say, I’m not avoiding helping... Where exactly are you at Blade? Report your location, I’ll send someone to help you."

Su Xingyu finally cooled down a bit, giving him her location.

Ouyang Yi resumed his playful tone: "That’s right, hey, have you had lunch? Let me treat you to lunch."

Su Xingyu looked down at her thermos, sighed: "Don’t mention it, I have a thermos for two here, millet porridge with kelp, want to eat with me?" Hmph, if Lu Shifeng won’t eat, fine, what’s the big deal? She’d find someone else to eat the meal with, rather than waste food!

Ouyang Yi visibly drooped at that: "Millet porridge... I want meat..."

Su Xingyu: "Then I’ll find someone else."

"No, no!" Ouyang Yi quickly conceded, "You come! I’ll send someone to pick you up! I’m just across from Blade Headquarters at Cloud Magazine. Ling Weilong and the others are all here. Everyone hasn’t seen you in a long time, come over, let’s have lunch together. Even if I don’t eat porridge, there are plenty of people who will, it’ll be lively and fun."
