Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 152 - 153: Lu Shifeng’s Decision

Zhuang Heng?

Lu Shifeng frowned slightly. In his impression, this graceful and gentle woman wouldn’t do such a thing. Why?

He instructed the butler, "Investigate further and find out when the young madam offended Miss Zhuang." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The butler replied affirmatively, cautiously glanced at his expression, "It’s possible that Miss Zhuang offended the young madam."

"Impossible." Lu Shifeng was unequivocal. He had known Zhuang Heng for nearly ten years, understood her well, a typical noble lady who would never cause trouble without reason. And as for Su Xingyu? Just thinking of that girl, Lu Shifeng felt like a small thorn pricked his heart—she was too strong-willed, like a thorny rose, a cat always on edge, a prickly hedgehog...

She even dared to offend him, offending Zhuang Heng would be a piece of cake for her, wouldn’t it?

The butler sighed silently. He didn’t understand why, with things as they were, the young master still sided with an outsider?

He couldn’t help but remind Lu Shifeng, "Young master, regardless, the young madam is your family. Now she’s been hurt by Miss Zhuang, you..."

Lu Shifeng glanced at him, the invisible pressure in his gaze silenced the butler immediately.

He adjusted his suit jacket and strode out the door.

He knew exactly what the butler wanted to say, blindly protecting Su Xingyu? But she was his wife, and therefore half the mistress of the Blade Group. She must display the dignity of a mistress. At least until things were clarified, they couldn’t arbitrarily deal with any employees under the Blade Group. Blade didn’t grow to today’s size by letting employees suffer grievances.

Besides, Zhuang Heng didn’t know she was his wife. If she knew, this conflict probably wouldn’t have happened.

He entered the company, sat in his office, and dealt with business.

After a while, Xie Jian knocked on the door, also inquiring about last night’s events.

Lu Shifeng conveyed his thoughts to the butler to him again, and Xie Jian glanced at him, "Doing this, the young madam might be displeased."

Lu Shifeng was displeased, "What right does she have to be displeased?"

Xie Jian said, "I don’t understand either, it’s just a possibility, women’s thinking is very strange." He paused slightly, voicing his observations in the secretary’s office, "Those girls chatter daily about love, relationships, and the consensus is, whether they are right or wrong, men should side with them, otherwise, they’d get very, very upset."

There was one more thing he hesitated over whether to tell Lu Shifeng—

A girl in the secretary’s office ended up divorcing because her husband didn’t side with her when she was upset.

Lu Shifeng was unmoved, "How can Blade Group’s young madam be compared to those unreasonable ordinary women?"

Xie Jian was silent, he spoke so sensibly, it left one speechless.

However, Lu Shifeng himself felt somewhat agitated for some reason, Su Xingyu’s pale and haggard face from last night reappeared in his mind. Until he left this morning, she was still asleep.

The hedgehog covered in thorns, the prickly rose...

His heart softened suddenly, instructing Xie Jian, "Let those women in the secretary’s office help buy a gift, something to pacify a woman."

Xie Jian was confused, "What kind of gift?"

"Diamond, watch, luxury car, perfume, anything," Lu Shifeng had no experience in this area and didn’t care, "They know what women like."

Xie Jian responded and left.

A moment later, he returned, awkwardly asking his boss, "Those girls said it’s best to know the recipient’s preferences to delight them."

Why is it so troublesome?

Lu Shifeng gripped the pen in his hand with some agitation, his gaze fixed horribly on the financial statement in his hand.

Xie Jian observed, realizing his timing wasn’t right. This boss had mountains of work daily, and disturbing him with trivialities like gifts explained his frustration.

Xie Jian sensibly said, "You’re busy, I’ll have them buy ordinary gifts."

"Come back!" Lu Shifeng grew more impatient, slamming the financial statement shut, "Who told you to leave?"

Xie Jian halted, silently thinking, who doesn’t know that the boss is particularly irritable when handling business. If I don’t leave, am I waiting to be reprimanded?

Lu Shifeng pondered, "She likes photography. Forget it, they don’t need to buy the gift, have the product department fetch a newly developed camera."

Xie Jian still wanted to complain, Boss, there’s no sincerity in this gift! Solved with an in-house camera? All right, money saved!

Though he didn’t know what girls liked, the basic knowledge was—gifts should be bought!

Lu Shifeng saw him standing still, asked, "Anything else?"

"...No." Questioning the boss’s emotional intelligence? Looking for trouble?

The Blade Group was efficient, within the afternoon, Xie Jian placed the newly developed, high-end camera, not yet on market, on Lu Shifeng’s desk.

Lu Shifeng finished his work and checked the time, "Almost five, get ready, accompany me to attend the project meeting at Fan Si."

Xie Jian hesitated, asking, "What about the camera?"

The project at Fan Si had been a long time coming, and Xie Jian understood its complexity. Arranged for discussion tonight, it’d likely take five to six hours. By the time Lu Shifeng returned home, it’d be midnight, and his wife would be asleep. What gift would there be, who to pacify?

Lu Shifeng glanced at the camera on the desk, "Have the driver detour, stop by the villa."

Xie Jian muttered, "...This master plans to leave the gift and go?"

The Bentley sped along the road, reaching Lu Shifeng’s villa quickly.

Lu Shifeng entered with the camera, asked Mrs. Gui, "How’s the young madam?"

Mrs. Gui reached to take his jacket, "The young madam just woke, had some porridge, still hasn’t fully recovered."

Lu Shifeng blocked her hand, "No need to take off, I’m leaving soon."

Saying this, he took the camera upstairs and opened the bedroom door.

Su Xingyu lay quietly on the bed, the dark satin-covered bed made her look exceptionally delicate. Her complexion was pale, hair slightly messy on her cheeks, and her light brown eyes looked lifeless.

Hearing the sound, she turned to glance, seeing him, she trembled slightly.

He walked step by step to the bedside, her nerves tightened, biting her lip and watching him as if ready to flee at any moment.

He found it amusing and more irritating, placing the camera before her, "For you."

Her gaze fell on the camera, its streamlined body exceptionally beautiful, exuding the unique charm of high-tech postmodernism. She had never seen such a model on the market, probably new?

Still, what did it mean for him to give this to her?

After cruelly humiliating her, breaking her camera, did he think casually replacing it would make things right?
