Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 272 - 285: Popcorn and Cola

Coming home at night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep well.

Early the next morning, Lu Shifeng, as usual, drove her to the company in his Bentley. Outside the CEO’s office, he bowed his head to give her a kiss: "Go on, remember to come up for lunch."

She nodded, somewhat dazedly watched his tall figure enter the office, then walked a bit absentmindedly towards the photography center.

It was rare that Zhuang Heng was also there.

Upon seeing Su Xingyu, Zhuang Heng’s face turned cold, targeting her in every way even during meetings.

Su Xingyu had matters weighing on her mind, unwilling to argue with her over trivialities, so she silently endured.

Unexpectedly, when she went to the tea room to get water after the meeting, she overheard Yun Xi speaking disdainfully to others: "Look at that Su Xingyu trying to cozy up to Mr. Lu, thinking she’s something special. But what happened? In front of Miss Zhuang, she still acts subservient, not even daring to breathe too loudly? In my opinion, she must be feeling anxious recently, perhaps Mr. Lu is about to tire of her! Isn’t every man a bit fickle? She really believes she can be with Mr. Lu forever? Doesn’t she see that Miss Zhuang is still here? Just watch, the only one who can have kids with Mr. Lu in the future is Miss Zhuang! She’s the true queen!"

Su Xingyu didn’t enter the tea room. While they were enthusiastically gossiping, why bother going in to humiliate herself?

She turned, entered the restroom next door.

Locked in a stall, she took out a box of contraceptive pills from her pocket, looking down at it.

She never dared to take the pills at home, fearing Lu Shifeng would find out and be furious; she always kept the pills at the office or in the lining pocket of her bag, taking them during the day when she got to the company.

But today, she suddenly didn’t want to take them anymore.

Who said only Zhuang Heng has the right to have Lu Shifeng’s children?

She started to look forward to the arrival of a little life...

She threw the box of pills into the trash can.

Upon leaving the stall, she encountered Zhuang Heng, the two women exchanged an expressionless glance, she went to wash her hands, then left.

Zhuang Heng entered the stall, her gaze fell on the trash can, and suddenly halted.

She saw the box in the trash can, the word "contraceptive" was particularly eye-catching, so, Su Xingyu was taking contraceptive pills? How could that be?! There are so many women in the world vying for the chance to have Lu Shifeng’s child, Su Xingyu clearly has such a good opportunity, she should be racing to have a baby, yet she avoided pregnancy, is she out of her mind?

Makes sense...

It must be Lu Shifeng who doesn’t want children, he’s just playing with her, not really letting her get pregnant?

It must be Lu Shifeng who ordered her to take the pills! Su Xingyu disobeyed the order, pretended to comply but secretly threw the contraceptives away, wanting to have Lu Shifeng’s child, that makes sense!

Thinking she figured it all out, Zhuang Heng’s lips show a small smile. Ignoring the grime, she retrieves the pill box from the trash, opens it and discovers a neatly arranged row of untouched contraceptives lying inside.

So Su Xingyu indeed secretly threw the pills away!

Su Xingyu... hehe.

The smile on Zhuang Heng’s lips deepens, don’t think she can’t grab hold of her weakness! With this major piece of evidence in hand, she’ll definitely make good use of it!

That night after work, Zhuang Heng didn’t leave. Waiting until everyone was gone and the office was cold and quiet, she then approached Su Xingyu’s workstation, opened the drawer. Originally intending to search for other contraceptives, she discovered an even greater piece of evidence, which was - medical records.

Su Xingyu is always afraid of Lu Shifeng, too scared to hide these dangerous things at home, keeping them all at the office.

Which benefited Zhuang Heng.

Flipping through, she saw the doctor’s orders atop, instructing Su Xingyu to stop using contraceptives, or possibly face lifelong infertility.

Lifelong... infertility?

Zhuang Heng’s meticulously adorned eyes flashed a contemplative gleam, quickly curling her lips into a smile.

Su Xingyu, at last, she seized her weak spot, this matter is indeed a good card, she must use it well!

As for Su Xingyu, she remained unaware of all this.

At night, Lu Shifeng was still insatiable. When Su Xingyu was exhausted, she nestled in his arms and thought, this can’t go on anymore, if someday the two of them are destined to bring a little one into this world, she hopes this little life is born with love and anticipation, not merely as "the Lu Family heir" alone.

Otherwise, look at Lu Shifeng, his life actually hasn’t been happy.

She doesn’t want her child to become like that.

But, what should she do?

Change Lu Shifeng?

Su Xingyu turned this notion over and over in her mind, wondering if she taught this man what love is, if he understood love, would all the problems be solved?

But, it’s easier said than done, how could she make him understand what love is?

She confided this concern to Xia Ling, currently the only person she could turn to.

But the girl merely tilted her head perplexedly: "Love, isn’t it simple? When I first saw Ziheng, I really liked him, and he really liked me at first glance too. Xingyu, your man is basically wooden, wanting to make a wooden block understand love? I don’t see it happening."

Yet Su Xingyu wasn’t resigned, if in this life only she can love him yet never receive his response, how despairing that would be.

She recalled all the large and small events since marrying him, remembered how he once tried to ease relations with her, taking the initiative to go shopping and dating, maybe this is a good breakthrough point?

Thus, with some apprehension, she invited Lu Shifeng: "Busy this weekend? Want to go see a movie with me?"

In the study, Lu Shifeng lifted his head from the heavy files, slightly squinting at her.

This girl has never invited him to do anything, what happened today?

"Why?" he asked.

"I..." Su Xingyu felt a bit uneasy but still mustered up the courage, "You promised me, for every two times you order me, you’ll let me request one thing, I haven’t asked you for anything in so long."

But that domineering scoundrel, practically commanding her daily, so she has quite a few requests accumulated.

Lu Shifeng has a good trait, once he makes a promise, he keeps it, so he nodded: "Okay."

No matter her reason, he could agree to this request, moreover, the fact she took the initiative to invite him on a date made him faintly pleased.

Su Xingyu was very happy too, carefully picking a recently popular romance blockbuster, took him to the cinema over the weekend.

The cinema was crowded, mostly intimate couples, Lu Shifeng held her hand walking through the crowd, she lightly tugged him: "Let’s buy a bag of popcorn, shall we?"

Lu Shifeng scanned around, saw most couples holding a large bucket of popcorn, so he nodded, told her to wait while he went to the counter. Returning with popcorn, he also instinctively brought two cups of cola. "I saw they all have some." he said to her. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Su Xingyu smiled with crescent eyes, indeed, bringing him to such a place has some effect, doesn’t it?
