Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 279 - 292: Are You Planning to Marry Her?

"What’s wrong, Yun Xi?" Xia Ranran, beside her, saw she suddenly went silent and leaned over to look.

Upon seeing, her face changed instantly, and she let out a short gasp.

In the office, other colleagues were curious: "What are you looking at? What did Su Xingyu shoot that has you stunned like this?"

As they spoke, several curious colleagues walked over to look, and soon all were either stunned or gasping, with one impetuous one directly shouting, "Miss Zhuang, come quickly and see...!"

Zhuang Heng’s heart skipped a beat; if someone called her to see something on Su Xingyu’s desk, it was certainly not good, most likely related to Lu Shifeng! She knew she should pretend not to care, should take an aloof stance and step on Su Xingyu, but she couldn’t do it. Her curiosity was like a burning flame, compelling her to leave her seat and walk to Su Xingyu’s desk.

Then, she saw the front of the photo frame.

In the center of the gaudy glass zirconia and cheap stone inlays was a photo of two people riding a roller coaster.

The girl in the photo had her eyes tightly closed, hiding in the man’s chest out of fear, while the man steadily protected her, looking down at her with eyes so tender they were intoxicating.

Su Xingyu, Lu Shifeng.

It was the first time Zhuang Heng had seen Lu Shifeng gaze at someone like this, as if that person’s joys and sorrows were his whole world.

She just felt her heart twist in pain, as if she couldn’t breathe; her face turned pale, and she couldn’t even maintain her usual composed and generous facade.

But Yun Xi was insensitive, turning back to shout, "Isn’t that Su Xingyu and Mr. Lu? A bitch is still a bitch, so brazen as a mistress! I spit!"

Mistress?

In the office, many people were silent, not responding.

Even if they had previously sided with Zhuang Heng, over this time, they’ve gotten along quite well with Su Xingyu; her approachable personality easily won everyone’s favor. Moreover, upon closer thought, the identity of Zhuang Heng as Mr. Lu’s fiancée was her unilateral announcement, while Mr. Lu seemed never to have made any statement about it? Why offend Mr. Lu’s current confirmed girlfriend over something uncertain? At least, remaining neutral was indeed the way to keep oneself safe. Thus, the atmosphere in the office turned strange. Whereas people would normally echo flattery towards Zhuang Heng, this time it was silent without a sound.

Zhuang Heng couldn’t stand this silence and turned around to leave.

Only then did everyone exchange rich and meaningful glances.

Yun Xi, however, thoughtlessly grabbed the photo frame from Su Xingyu’s desk and was about to throw it into the trash can: "Why let her be proud?"

"Don’t!" Xia Ranran quickly stopped her, "Forget it, Yun Xi, don’t cause trouble, be careful she finds out you threw it and you’ll pay dearly." Xia Ranran was calculating inside, having apologized and tried to befriend Su Xingyu last time, harboring a hint of allegiance, it was this that stopped Yun Xi from doing damage.

Yun Xi was still unappeased: "Her? What can she do to me?"

"Yun Xi." Xia Ranran both persuaded her and gave her a meaningful look.

Only then did Yun Xi unwillingly realize, indeed, she could do something to her, easily cozying up to Mr. Lu with some charm and affection, destroying her would be a piece of cake.

Although Yun Xi didn’t favor Su Xingyu, she didn’t dare to actually jeopardize her career, so after a few curses, she walked away.

Everyone in the office had their own thoughts, and over there, Zhuang Heng’s heart was a mess too.

A woman’s intuition told her, it couldn’t go on like this, the man she had pursued for so long would be snatched away!

She had to think of a way...

She went to the restroom to tidy up her outfit, sprayed some perfume, touched up her makeup, and presented herself in the most beautiful and charming posture to the CEO’s office.

Lu Shifeng was working.

Zhuang Heng smiled and asked him, "Shifeng, are you free at noon? Shall we have lunch together?"

Lu Shifeng didn’t even lift an eyelid: "Busy, no time."

Zhuang Heng gently bit her lip, busy? But she heard that Su Xingyu almost came upstairs every day to accompany him for meals!

"Shifeng," she softened her voice, trying again, "I have some new ideas about optics I want to discuss with you, but you can never find the time..."

"I’ll give you five minutes, speak now." Lu Shifeng closed the document in his hands and looked at the watch.

Zhuang Heng felt utterly aggrieved, looking at his indifferent and business-like gaze, she simply steeled her heart and said, "Shifeng, I’ve already said last time that I like you, is your heart made of stone? Why won’t you give me a chance, even just to have lunch at noon? I don’t object to you being with Su Xingyu, but you wouldn’t consider marrying her, would you? Eventually, you’ll have to find a wife with the right background to marry, so why can’t it be me?"

She had already spoken so plainly, if he didn’t understand, then Lu Shifeng wasn’t from earth.

Only to hear his voice calmly, "I’ll marry whomever I want, when has it become your place to speculate?"

Zhuang Heng’s heart sank instantly, realizing she had violated his taboo, this man most disliked others trying to guess his thoughts!

She quickly lowered her head, speaking tenderly, "It’s not me speculating, Shifeng, but the unspoken rules among us wealthy families. Furthermore..." She hesitated inwardly for a moment, asked very skilfully, "Loving a woman and having children with her are two separate matters, aren’t they? You have to consider the next generation, find a mother with distinguished family background."

She was confident that Lu Shifeng would be unwilling to have children with Su Xingyu, otherwise, he wouldn’t have Su Xingyu taking contraceptive pills.

She even already decided, once Lu Shifeng acknowledged this topic, she would feign casual revelation for him to find out that Su Xingyu disobeyed his order and had secretly thrown away the contraception pills!

If so, Lu Shifeng would surely be furious?

She understood these wealthy men, no matter how flirtatious outside, there was always a bottom line never to be touched, which was offspring.

Thinking this, a victorious smile appeared at the corner of Zhuang Heng’s lips.

But Lu Shifeng’s next words stopped her smile cold: "Next generation? Xingyu will give birth for me."

What... What?!

He actually intended for that bitch Su Xingyu to bear his children?! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Zhuang Heng couldn’t believe her ears; dizziness came in waves, what did this mean? Did it mean...

"You... You actually want to marry her, Shifeng?" She trembled and asked.

Lu Shifeng glanced coldly at Zhuang Heng once more: "I’ve always regarded you as a good employee, an outstanding subordinate, a reassuring companion. But Zhuang Heng, if your thoughts are too mixed, your desires too many, then it’s better to stay away from me; Blade Group is for work, not for handling these personal matters."
