Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 245 - 257: So What If I Hit You

The sight was filled with blooming flowers.

The layers of petals were still adorned with glistening droplets, delicate and tempting.

Su Xingyu stared at the large bouquet of white roses, slightly dazed. What was he up to, suddenly deciding to send her flowers?

Was he apologizing?

Thinking of it this way made her angry again. What he did at the coffee shop this afternoon was too much. She did not want to forgive him, humph.

But still, these flowers are really beautiful...

She couldn’t help but sneak a few more glances and heard the rustling sound of him getting into bed behind her, followed by darkness as he turned off the bedroom light.

She quickly pretended to be asleep again, not daring to move a muscle.

His arm slipped around her waist, pulling her whole body against his firm chest.

He kissed the tip of her ear, his voice low and hoarse, "Stop pretending, I saw you sneaking glances at the flowers."

This guy...!

Why is he so annoying...?!

She ignored him out of spite, still pretending to sleep, trying to wiggle out of his grasp, but he held her tighter.

"I told you you’re pretending." His voice was still by her ear, this time not as polite, his kiss turned into a bite, punishingly nipping the tip of her ear.

He knew exactly where she was sensitive. That bite made her shiver slightly, and there was no way to continue pretending.

"Lu Shifeng," she was angry, turning to bite hard on his arm, "Are you done yet? You bothered me during the day and now you’re doing it at night again!"

"Bothering?" He looked at her, his eyes shining faintly under the starlight coming through the window, "Do you like the flowers I sent you?" He remembered she liked white roses. However, in this season approaching winter, the white roses in their garden had long withered. Last time on the island, Pei Ziheng had shown off about how to please his woman. Although he disdained it at the time, he silently remembered it in his heart afterwards.

One of those was, giving her flowers.

Su Xingyu’s slender body curled up under the thin blanket, hands still holding his arm, intending to bite him at any moment. Hearing him say this, she suddenly couldn’t bite him anymore.

She couldn’t help but turn her head and look towards the flowers on the bedside table. Under the starlight, all she could see was a hazy shadow.

However, the subtle fragrance lingered, genuinely refreshing.

Her lips involuntarily curved into a smile, but she insisted on being stubborn, "I don’t like it."

"How could you not like it?" He frowned slightly, asking.

"Why should I have to like it?" When she acted unreasonable, she could be very unreasonable.

"All women like flowers," Lu Shifeng said, "What happened in the afternoon was my oversight, but you also broke my rule and met with Ouyang Yi privately, so we’re even."

Su Xingyu was stunned for a moment. This man, how could he apologize so insincerely?!

Too much!

"You, you!" Such outrageous behavior absolutely deserved to be condemned, Su Xingyu glared at him, "If you think you’ve done nothing wrong, why did you send me flowers?"

"Because I’m a man, I must yield to women," he said as a matter of course.

This was also what Pei Ziheng had told him. He couldn’t be too particular with women, even if they were being unreasonable, he had to accommodate them. This was the first priority for maintaining a harmonious relationship.

But Lu Shifeng felt like this didn’t seem to work with Su Xingyu.

He saw the girl holding his arm with her little paws fiercely bite him again. Her strength was so great he worried it would damage her teeth.

He reached out his other hand to pull her away.

She was still not satisfied, baring her teeth at him fiercely, "Humph, did it hurt? Serves you right! Who told you to be a male chauvinist! Dictatorial!"

He squinted his eyes slightly, "Are you rebelling?"

The invisible pressure finally reminded Su Xingyu that she might have been too arrogant just now...

Had she become too complacent after he sent her flowers, ah ah ah!

How could she forget how terrifying the tyrant in front of her could be, bullying her without a word! Yet she actually bit him! And scolded him! It was like plucking hairs from the head of a tiger...

Realizing what she’d done, Su Xingyu, the little white rabbit, felt deflated.

She meekly tried to shrink her body under the covers, shrinking further, while silently chanting: you can’t see me, you can’t see me...

Almost having shrunk to the bottom, she was suddenly uncovered by him.

She let out a scream, only to be silenced by his lips, her lips filled with the coolness of his breath.

His body easily pressed down on her, beginning the night’s conquest...

Su Xingyu felt extremely frustrated. Why did an apology lead to this result?! Wasn’t the usual script for the man to kneel with flowers, crying, while the woman stayed haughty and unforgiving?!

Why, when it came to her, was it so harsh?!

The next day, Su Xingyu, the little white rabbit, who nearly couldn’t get out of bed, thought she was so unlucky, boo hoo hoo.

She wobbly went to the walk-in closet to casually grab some clothes, getting her gear bag as usual before heading to the company.

Upon entering the photography center’s office area, she ran into Zhuang Heng, who was hurrying by.

This was truly a head-on "collision," as Zhuang Heng was walking very quickly. Today she seemed inexplicably furious, stomping in high heels straight toward the door, directly bumping into Su Xingyu, who staggered, catching herself on a nearby desk.

She was about to question Zhuang Heng when unexpectedly, Zhuang Heng struck first, raising her hand and slapping her hard! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A clear "smack" sound resonated.

The office instantly fell silent, everyone turning their heads to look at them.

Su Xingyu stared in shock, covering her face, looking at Zhuang Heng. Although she and this woman never saw eye to eye, they weren’t at the point of slapping each other, were they?

"What gives you the right to hit me?!" she asked, both shocked and angry, unable to help but reproach.

"Bitch!" Zhuang Heng spat the word viciously, lifted her arrogant head, and started to walk past her.

Unexpectedly, Su Xingyu grabbed her, and in return, slapped Zhuang Heng across the face even harder. The slap was so fierce, it sent Zhuang Heng flying, knocking over two garbage bins under the office desk before stopping. Zhuang Heng’s elaborate outfit was ruined, her white top smeared with overnight tea stains and scraps from the trash can, in a sorry state.

The office fell even quieter. Zhuang Heng’s physical attack was shocking enough, but Su Xingyu daring to retaliate was even more astounding.

Many people gathered around, wanting to mediate, yet were so stunned by the scene they were hesitant to speak.

"You dare hit me?" Zhuang Heng, sitting in the pile of trash, held her face, looking up at Su Xingyu in disbelief.

"What if I did," Su Xingyu looked down at her, confronting her sharply, "You slapped me out of nowhere, I merely returned the favor. Isn’t that mild enough for you? Have you gone mad, lashing out at people indiscriminately?"
