Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 354 - 367: Not So Easy to Mess With

Su Xingyu also nodded, "So, can I leave now?"

Lu Shifeng looked at her with a complex expression. She was no longer the timid little rabbit she once was; her guarded and aloof attitude was so obvious that anyone could see it.

He wanted to keep her, to gaze at her features a little longer, even if it was just for a moment, even if he could only see her eyes behind the mask.

But he knew he couldn’t keep her.

She bent down to untie Han, who was bound to the park bench, the child’s hands were left with faint red marks from his tie, and he sniffed a few times.

Su Xingyu said, "Don’t cry, baby, Mommy’s going to take you home."

The child reached out his chubby little hands to hug her and said, "Han will protect Mommy."

Su Xingyu smiled slightly, feeling a tinge of heartache.

After untying Han, she turned to help Ouyang Yi, who was knocked to the ground by Lu Shifeng. Ouyang didn’t know what injuries he had, but he staggered before finding his footing, and then threatened Lu Shifeng, "I’ll remember this incident."

Lu Shifeng also looked at him, his eyes with a hint of killing intent, "Xingyu is not someone you can touch."

Ouyang Yi grinned, "You’re not qualified either."

He took Han’s hand, and with the other arm around Su Xingyu’s waist, said, "Let’s go."

Su Xingyu’s body stiffened slightly; she didn’t expect Ouyang Yi to be so bold, to hold her in such a situation. But she quickly understood he was flaunting in front of Lu Shifeng, acting. She didn’t want to get entangled with Lu Shifeng anymore, so she let him hold her and didn’t move.

The three of them walked step by step against the flow of people towards the exit.

Not far out, she suddenly heard Han’s voice, "Mommy and Daddy, look, what is that fierce uncle doing?"

Su Xingyu turned her head and saw that Lu Shifeng was no longer in the spot he was at earlier, but instead, he was stooping down, searching for something in a nearby patch of grass.

That was where she had just thrown the ring.

"Probably... looking for a lot of money," she said indifferently, quickening her pace to leave, "Ignore him, we’re going home."

At least Ouyang Yi’s place was safe.

Here, whether it was Lu Shifeng or the third young master of the Stanway Family, neither would intrude.

Su Xingyu settled Han in his room, made herself a cup of coffee, and sat dazedly on the wooden bench in the small garden.

Ouyang Yi also brought a cup of coffee and sat down beside her, "What are you thinking about?"

She turned her head, saw that he had already showered and changed, wearing a white coral fleece bathrobe, his still wet hairtips giving off a pleasant bath scent.

No matter when she looked, Ouyang was always pleasing to the eye.

But she was only concerned about his injuries, "Lu Shifeng hit you several times, are you okay?"

Ouyang Yi smiled, "He was really ruthless, the doctor just said I have mild internal bleeding and a cracked bone. But it’s no big deal, every man takes a few hits, right?"

She felt very guilty, "I’ve caused you trouble."

"Why do you think I like you?" His eyes brightened as he responded, "And I am Han’s father."

"Godfather," she corrected him.

"Father," he insisted.

She was a bit helpless. Over the years, this was an issue they would argue over from time to time.

She looked down at the coffee cup in her hands, pondering that this really was not a solution. What Ouyang had done for her and her son was something she could not repay, nor even deserve.

But what could she do?

If Han wasn’t here, she could easily just leave, wander the world, become homeless or be caught and sold by traffickers, it didn’t matter. But now she had Han to think about, she needed to care for him and provide a stable life for him. She couldn’t just leave, couldn’t fall ill, and couldn’t even make a decision to leave Ouyang.

Abroad, those from the Stanway Family were watching like hawks.

In the country, there was Lu Shifeng...

Thinking of that man made her heart burn painfully.

Who knows if he would find out the truth of the fire as he promised?

"Do you think..." She softly asked Ouyang Yi, "Why does Lu Shifeng trust Zhuang Heng so much?"

"Maybe he likes Zhuang Heng," Ouyang Yi answered casually, "People in love are the most foolish, their IQ in the negatives; they’ll believe anything the other person says."

Su Xingyu felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"No, he doesn’t like Zhuang Heng," she shook her head, "He once said love is an illusion."

Ouyang Yi showed a bright smile, "So, Xingyu, what are you worrying about? Whether he loves or not has nothing to do with you anymore, or do you really plan on going back?"

His eyes held a secret inquiry.

She didn’t notice, and shook her head gently, "I won’t go back, he can harm me, and he can harm Han."

Even if one day, Lu Shifeng found out that Han was his own son, who could guarantee that man wouldn’t harm those closest to him?

He didn’t obey his grandfather, had a distant relationship with his mother, abused his wife...

She really couldn’t imagine how good he could be to his son.

That man, maybe he really is a devil.

She wanted to stay far away from this devil, but she was also worried about Han’s safety if they returned to Country F, unsure of what to do.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Yi was firmly planning to leave S City and return to Country F, spending the following days hustling about.

However, Lu Shifeng’s people blocked all major transportation hubs, making it impossible for him to leave with Su Xingyu.

Ouyang Yi was very anxious.

In his residence, in a secret study.

Ouyang Yi paced back and forth in a room filled with famous paintings and various precious books, "If this continues, we won’t be able to leave S City!"

An elderly man with gray hair slightly hunched his back and spoke calmly, "Lu Shifeng is determined to have Su Xingyu, and this is his base. You’re fighting on his home ground, so it’s normal not to beat him."

Ouyang Yi slammed a fist on the desk, "Then let’s use the power of the shadow group to tear open a gap and break through!"

The old man looked at him with slight concern, "Young master, you know what the consequences of that would be."

Ouyang Yi fell silent, as a bastard son in the Stanway Family, he was never favored. With great difficulty and secrecy, he accumulated the power of the shadow group and built a vast underground force, all to compete with his brothers at crucial moments. He couldn’t expose this power over such a small incident.

His brothers were all extremely shrewd, he had to be extra cautious, otherwise, one wrong move would cost him everything.

"Do we really have to be trapped here by Lu Shifeng?!" he said unwillingly.

The old man said, "Young master, please calm down. Miss Su is already excessively affecting your emotions now."

"How can I calm down?" Although Ouyang Yi was already trying hard to control himself, his voice still carried suppressed anger, "I finally managed to pull the woman I like away from him, and replace her presence with a child and Zhuang Heng, I had finally distanced her from my battles with the Lu Family! Now you want me to stand by and watch Lu Shifeng lure her back? I’m not that easy to deal with!"
