Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 370 - 383: Preparing for the Wedding

Lu Shifeng said, "Confidential? I can find it out myself; it just takes a little more time."

Su Xingyu was persistent, "They say the business world is like a battlefield. If you find out first, you can seize the advantage."

Lu Shifeng looked at her, the girl before him feigning calm. Obviously, it was a negotiation, yet her slender hands were subconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, looking very nervous. He couldn’t help but think of how cautious she was when she first married, so soft and charming. No matter how fierce she pretended to be, in his eyes, she was always fragile.

Dealing with such a negotiator, he didn’t need to exert much effort, "I don’t care about seizing the advantage. Investigating Ouyang Yi isn’t urgent. Xingyu, I just want you back, it’s that simple."

Not urgent...

So, is that why he could leisurely sit here, pushing her step by step into the fire pit?

Su Xingyu bit her lip, her delicate lips faded to white from being bitten. He could wait, but Han couldn’t afford to; every second in Ouyang Yi’s hands could be dangerous. Han must be rescued quickly.

She said sadly, "You go save him, and I’ll come back."

Lu Shifeng said, "I’ve already said, as long as you listen to me, I’ll take good care of you. Don’t waste that little time. Alright, now let’s continue talking about what exactly you’ve gathered about Ouyang Yi’s secrets?"

Su Xingyu felt bad but didn’t want to argue with him and honestly told him everything she saw in the study room.

Only then did Lu Shifeng feel surprised. His ever-unfazed icy face showed a hint of contemplation.

Originally, he thought that even if Ouyang Yi was ambitious, it was just a small scheme. He hadn’t expected his plot to be so large, intending to swallow the entire Feiying Group. What’s even scarier is that, according to the financial report and personnel list Su Xingyu provided, Ouyang Yi’s focus was in China, meaning he viewed China as a strategic location, likely involving Blade Group too!

This was indeed quite crucial information.

Lu Shifeng looked at Su Xingyu, "This conversation stays between us; you cannot tell anyone else. It’s of grave importance."

Su Xingyu coldly said, "I understand more than you how significant this is. Now, please keep your promise and save Han. If anything happens to Han, I guarantee you will regret it for life."

Lu Shifeng said, "I never break my word."

He pondered for a moment, "You should return to Ouyang Yi, act like nothing happened, and continue planning the wedding. I will devise the rescue plan and get Han out within two months. Unless necessary, do not contact me to avoid making Ouyang Yi suspicious."

Su Xingyu looked at him worriedly, "Do you promise to really save Han?"

Lu Shifeng lifted her delicate chin and planted a kiss on her lips.

She wanted to turn her head, but recalling that saving Han relied on him, she had to hold back.

Their lips lingered in an entanglement.

Even after so many years, she could still feel the familiar scent from him, then the dizzying sensation as if everything in the world ceased to exist. She closed her eyes, seemingly returning to the past, the love and hatred of so many years surging like tides coming and going...

A long time passed.

He finally let her go.

"Xingyu," he said, "wait for me."

She gave him a deep look, turned around, opened the car door, and left.

The Bentley didn’t linger either, slowly driving away along the road after dropping her off.

Su Xingyu stood by the roadside for a while, watching the car disappear from sight. Turning around, she saw Ouyang Yi behind her. Ouyang Yi stood in the dazzling autumn sunlight, his peach blossom eyes as bright as the autumn colors, but with a hint of scrutiny in his smile, "Xingyu, he let you come back so easily."

Su Xingyu was alert, fearing he would notice anything amiss, and deliberately said casually, "I’ve been back in S City for some time. If he wanted to force me, he would have. Now, he’s the one begging me, not me begging him. He wants to win me back and is cautious not to upset me, so of course, he treated me well. If I’m unhappy, he wouldn’t dare stop me from getting out of the car."

Ouyang Yi looked at her again, then lightly laughed, "You’re mine now, he’s bound to be disappointed."

Su Xingyu didn’t speak, lowered her head, and continued walking along the roadside.

Ouyang Yi casually walked beside her, his handsome face and tall figure drawing the attention of many passersby.

Ouyang Yi said to her, "Our car is still parked at the bridal shop, shall we go and take it?"

She shook her head and kept walking forward along the roadside, looking somewhat confused and struggling.

Seeing her like this, Ouyang Yi simply walked beside her quietly.

In the matter of pursuing a woman, he always had great patience, especially having waited for her for four years. A few more moments wouldn’t matter. Unlike that clueless Lu Shifeng, who was too eager and drove the good girl away forcibly, he would stay by Su Xingyu’s side, waiting for her to slowly understand, accept, and willingly fall into the web he had woven.

They walked for a long time.

The sycamore trees on both sides shed yellow leaves, fluttering and dancing.

At the end of the street, only then did Su Xingyu stop. She turned, lifted her head, and looked at Ouyang Yi, "Let’s host the wedding."

Even someone as shrewd as Ouyang Yi couldn’t help showing a glimpse of joy in his eyes, "Xingyu, you’ve finally figured it out."

Su Xingyu’s expression showed a trace of fatigue and resignation, "With Han in your hands, what else can I do? Besides, no matter how it compares, it’s better here with you than with Lu Shifeng. I never want to go back to him again."

Ouyang Yi hugged her, "It’s good you’ve figured it out. In this world, only I can keep you and your child safe under Lu Shifeng’s influence. Rest assured, I will treat you well for the rest of our lives."

For the rest of our lives...

How long it sounds.

Su Xingyu only felt the old scar on her face, burned by fire, faintly ached. She recalled the desperate scene four years ago. She was tied to the bed, watching Zhuang Heng approach with the lighter, grinning viciously, with no way to ask for help.

Lu Shifeng, Ouyang Yi...

Both of them had some part in it.

Is this her life, to be with someone who had hurt her, one or the other?

But for Han, what else could she do?

She closed her eyes, letting Ouyang Yi embrace her like her body wasn’t her own.

For Han, she could give everything, let alone this temporary patience.

In the days following, Ouyang Yi enthusiastically involved her in wedding preparations. His taste was excellent, and the wedding dress he had custom-made was indeed stunning, even more beautiful than the one she picked for her wedding with Lu Shifeng. The drinks, media guests...he personally handled every detail, and after planning, he wouldn’t forget to ask if she had any additions, portraying the image of a thoughtful husband completely.
