Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 276 - 289: Roller Coaster

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Su Xingyu decided to give it a shot.

She searched high and low, finally finding an activity that seemed dangerous and thrilling but was actually quite safe — a roller coaster.

Maybe, just maybe if Lu Shifeng rode the roller coaster, he’d become enlightened and fall for her?

Su Xingyu, who worried herself sick for her family, then went to persuade Mr. Lu to ride the roller coaster.

Mr. Lu thought she wasn’t just unusual lately; she was extremely unusual. She had taken the initiative to ask him out three times in a row. What exactly was her intention?

"You..." Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes dangerously, scrutinizing a certain anxious little bunny, "Have you been doing something wrong behind my back lately?"

"No! Absolutely not!" The little bunny denied repeatedly. "Lu Shifeng, it’s just that I see you’re working too hard and need to relax..."

"Tell the truth."

"I... it’s just that I’ve been a bit stressed from work lately, and I want you to keep me company while I relax..."

"Tell the truth."

"..." The little bunny was about to cry, wishing she could show him the truth from her heart. "This is the truth! Really! Lu Shifeng, look at how Pei Ziheng always hangs out with Xia Ling, even casually letting Xia Ling act cute and spoiled during board meetings. But what about you? Count how many times you’ve accompanied me since we got married! Now Xiaoling is always laughing at me, saying you don’t treat me well enough..."

The little bunny used all her acting skills, managing to squeeze out two tears and dramatically wiped them away with her fingers.

Mr. Lu stared at her. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Stared at her deeply.

The little bunny felt guilty, lowering her head more and more, while pitifully sniffing her nose a couple of times.

After a while.

Mr. Lu spoke in a deep voice, "Just for this kind of thing?"

"What do you mean by just this kind of thing?" The little bunny continued to use her acting skills, full of grievance. "When we girls gather, apart from talking about makeup, we naturally talk about boyfriends and husbands. Now Xia Ling is showing off in front of me. Have you ever thought about how many wealthy wives will boast in front of me once I officially announce my relationship with you? My background is already lower than theirs, and if they think you don’t treat me well, how will I keep my face? Boohoo..."

"Whether I treat you well is not reflected in how many dates we have."

"Then do you expect me to reason with those wealthy wives?" Su Xingyu, the little bunny, at this moment acted like an Oscar-winning actress, with tears in her eyes, looking at Lu Shifeng pitifully, "Women are very sentimental, they won’t listen to my explanations! Lu Shifeng, is it so hard for you to accompany me to go out a few times? Do... do you actually not care about me in your heart..."

Lu Shifeng: "..."

He was very busy, really busy.

The thing he hated most in life was wasting time on unnecessary pleasures. The few times he went out with Su Xingyu were completely against his nature. It’s because she’s Su Xingyu. If it were any other woman, daring to ask him to sacrifice work time to hang out, he would have long thrown that woman out of sight, never to be seen again!

Yet, he had made exceptions so many times for her, and she still wasn’t satisfied?

Lu Shifeng felt a bit annoyed and originally didn’t want to agree, but after that conversation, for several days in a row, Su Xingyu, the little bunny, looked at him with a sorrowful gaze that unsettled him no matter what he was doing.

On this day, Mr. Lu couldn’t concentrate on an important financial report; on the thick pile of A4 papers, it seemed to be filled with Su Xingyu’s "Let’s go out... accompany me to go out..." That prominent writing was driving him crazy, and he suddenly closed all the reports with a loud snap, stood up, and said to the rotation secretary beside him, "Cancel all the schedules for tomorrow; I have personal matters to attend to."

Thus, the next day, Su Xingyu, the little bunny, got her wish and cheerfully took Mr. Lu to the amusement park.

The amusement park was packed, and she excitedly headed straight for the roller coaster, specially choosing the front row with the best view.

Mr. Lu looked at her with a peculiar expression, "You? Sitting on this?"

This girl usually is as timid as a rabbit. He never saw her like a thrill-seeker?

Su Xingyu looked at the winding roller coaster and felt a bit scared, but then she thought, for the future harmony of the family, for the baby’s mental and physical health, no matter what, she had to make Mr. Lu understand what love is! She clenched her small fists and said boldly, "Isn’t it just a roller coaster? I used to love riding them. Come on, Shifeng, accompany me. You’re not scared to ride it, are you?"

Mr. Lu looked at her with disdain and strode onto the roller coaster.

The little bunny, whose plan had succeeded, cheered inwardly and hurriedly followed, getting her seat belt fastened with the help of Mr. Lu and the staff.

The roller coaster slowly pulled out of the station, climbing higher and higher...

After climbing just over ten meters, Su Xingyu’s face turned a bit pale. Boohoo, it didn’t seem so scary from the ground, but now, it felt terrifying!

She...

She really wanted to get off!

"Lu... Lu Shifeng..." she called weakly to the man beside her.

The man next to her looked at her, his voice as calm as ever, "What’s wrong?"

"I..." She was about to cry with no tears left. The first drop hadn’t even come, and she was already chickening out. Boohoo, what should she do?

Her unusual behavior finally drew his attention, and he frowned, "Are you scared?"

She was so embarrassed, she couldn’t nod or shake her head.

Lu Shifeng saw her plight and understood immediately, wanting to kill her. Who just said they loved roller coasters in the past? Seeing her cowardly appearance, she’d probably never ridden one before, right?

However, now that they were on the ride, even if he were the Crown Prince of Blade Group, with immense power, there was nothing he could do. No matter what, she had to stick it out till the end.

"Don’t be afraid," he reassured her calmly and tightly grabbed her icy little hand, "I’m here."

Though right now he had an overwhelming urge to choke her, he could only wait until after they got off to settle accounts with her. He certainly didn’t want to unintentionally scare her into a mishap on the roller coaster.

His dry, strong hand held her, soothing her erratic heartbeat just a bit, but before she could fully calm down, suddenly, the roller coaster whooshed down the first slope!

"Ah——!" The steep slope made her scream instantly, her whole body weightless in mid-air, like freefalling in the clouds.

The roller coaster dove towards the ground, the crowd and buildings below rapidly enlarging, as if they’d crash down at any moment!

On reflex, she shut her eyes, praying desperately for it to pass, pass quickly, but the roller coaster seemed to have a grudge against her, diving for what felt like an eternity — probably a thousand years — before it finally stopped its descent.

She hadn’t even caught her breath when she felt herself abruptly tilt to the left, her center of gravity sharply shifting, as they entered the next 360-degree spin.
