No matter what he thinks, it doesn’t affect Su Xingyu’s good mood after receiving the prize.
She loves the Blade cara dearly. On this day, while routinely sitting on the living room sofa waiting for Lu Shifeng to return ho, she took a soft cloth and wiped the black matte body carefully, treating it like a precious treasure.
Lu Shifeng opened the door and saw this scene.
The girl on the sofa was so focused on wiping that she didn’t even notice soone entering. Her pretty cherry-pink lips curved slightly upward into an alluring arc, and her fair, slender fingers danced across the cara body as gracefully as if playing the piano.
Lu Shifeng lightly cleared his throat.
Su Xingyu kept her head down, unresponsive.
Lu Shifeng cleared his throat again.
She still did not respond.
Lu Shifeng, expressionless, walked over with his long legs in straight trousers and stopped in front of her, silently looking down at her.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"Ah!" Just when Lu Shifeng ntally counted over ten seconds and was about to lose his patience, she finally noticed soone standing in front of her and exclaid in shock, her hand trembling so the cara flew to the side.
The shock was even more severe as she hurriedly rushed forward to grab it, falling straight on the thick, solid carpet, her chin stinging painfully, yet she didn’t catch the cara.
A pair of high-end leather shoes casually walked over.
Su Xingyu watched as Lu Shifeng bent down and effortlessly picked up the cara.
"Quickly check if it’s broken!" she blurted out, unable to care about anything else.
Lu Shifeng turned to look at her, his handso face like an ice sculpture reflecting the light outside the window, dim: "Is this how you talk to your husband?"
Su Xingyu was terribly anxious, but the cara was still in his hand, and she dared not offend him. She struggled to get up from the ground, taking deep breaths with a fake smile: "Lu Shifeng, welco ho, thank you for helping pick up the cara, could you please kindly check if the cara is broken?"
The beginning was nonsense; the last sentence was the point.
Lu Shifeng’s eyes were filled with cold sarcasm, and he tossed the cara single-handed, making Su Xingyu extrely nervous.
She wanted to rush forward imdiately and snatch back the cara, but she dared not, wondering if he might lose his mind and do sothing to it. She could only lower her eyes and cautiously plead: "Lu Shifeng... Mr. Lu..."
Calling him Mr. Lu?
Looking at her obedient posture, a subtle and unreadable smile appeared at the corner of his eyes, and he gently opened his hands.
Su Xingyu was sensible this ti, quickly stepping forward to help him take off his jacket. Ever since marrying him, she had been doing this, and she was very familiar with it, then smoothly helped him with his tie, full of appeasent.
"Now... can you return my cara?" she asked cautiously.
"Worried?" he inquired.
She nodded repeatedly: "New cara, mustn’t break it."
He squinted slightly at her: "Sotis I really doubt if you are truly the young mistress of Blade Group."
She looked up at him cluelessly.
He tossed the cara to her casually with one hand, resembling not a cara but a basketball. Watching her catch it anxiously, he said, "At the very least, you should trust your own products. Our Blade outdoor caras aren’t easily damaged with a single drop, especially on a thick carpet."
Su Xingyu’s face suddenly flushed; she was just too tense, wasn’t she?
Growing up, apart from the cara saved from the garbage truck at age six, she never owned a cara, let alone a new one. How could such an appeal be unimportant to a passionate photographer? Embarrassed, she nodded while ticulously checking the cara until she confird it was indeed unhard.
Lu Shifeng watched her actions quietly and wondered if she had forgotten him — a living person beside her, unable to contain his thoughts: "Only Blade Group can grant you such an honor."
Su Xingyu was puzzled, gazing at him in confusion.
"A prize, isn’t it?" he spoke.
Su Xingyu realized now, ha-ha, is it worth your pride just for a prize bestowed by your group? Rembering the cara’s origins, her old and new grudges surged together, leading her to mock: "Yes, the girl presenting the award said they could provide what my husband couldn’t. Seems like Blade Group really has sensible people."
Lu Shifeng’s face darkened; he had been mocked for this by netizens lately.
Whose idea was this slogan in the marketing departnt? Must be fired!
Lu Boss, who silently updated the prize in the dark, yet failed to receive credit, was greatly agitated.
Soone else was equally agitated.
And that was Su Xingqi, Su Xingyu’s half-sister.
Su Xingqi watched the news reports and furiously smashed a cup, what the hell, she thought that woman’s days would be miserable after being fired, but instead she took first place in such a high-profile contest!
"Mom!" She rushed to find her mother, Liu izhi, "How can this bitch still live so well? Unforgivable!"
Liu izhi’s face twisted, gripping her daughter’s hand tightly: "Qiqi, don’t forget who you owe for the unnad, hidden life when you were born, unable to afford a servant! Hardly did Mu Yun die and we managed to step inside, how can we let Su Xingyu, this little bitch, be proud?"
Recalling past events, Su Xingqi was furiously hateful, nastily declaring: "Right! You only married dad when I was four years old, and still people call an illegitimate child, all thanks to those bitches! We mustn’t let Su Xingyu be happy!"
"However..." Liu izhi was a bit puzzled, "I saw on the news that little bitch ntioned a husband?"
"Husband?" Su Xingqi had also seen the news; after all, Blade’s sudden prize substitution and official announcent stirred quite a commotion. Su Xingqi was skeptical, "I haven’t heard about her marrying, plus she was just dumped by Qin Mu, how could she find soone to marry her so quickly?"
"That could be, maybe she was so distressed from the breakup she married hastily," Liu izhi suggested.
Su Xingqi was now uncertain: "We need to figure this out, that little bitch can’t secretly get married. Previously, you and dad discussed marrying her off to a ’good’ family to gain more benefits for the household!"
"Right, so we must clarify this matter."
