CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 218: STOP MESSING AROUND, PROTESTS ARE FUTILE

Luckily, Fang Luohua didn’t want to make her feel awkward and just said, "It’s okay, Xingyu, I’m sure you have your reasons."

Su Xingyu looked at him in surprise, "You really believe me?" Instead of thinking she’s just out for wealth?

"I really do believe you." Fang Luohua laughed brightly, "Anyone who’s really being kept wouldn’t even bother going to work, right? As long as you ask Mr. Lu, you could comfortably wait in a mansion being served. Although I’ve never actually experienced the world of the rich, I do watch a lot of TV dramas, isn’t that how they all portray it?"

His words made Su Xingyu burst out laughing, even the gloom of her relationship with Lu Shifeng being discovered lightened somewhat.

Fang Luohua extended his hand towards her, making a gesture for a high five, "I’ll keep this a secret for you."

Su Xingyu smiled radiantly, just about to reach out to high five him when suddenly her wrist was grabbed, and the next moment she was pulled back uncontrollably into a solid embrace.

Before she could react, Fang Luohua, standing opposite her, had already changed his expression, looking like he’d seen a ghost: "Lu-Lu-Lu-Lu, Mr. Lu!" Oh my god, what’s today? He actually got to be in close contact with the company’s biggest boss! The man before him was tall, impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure, just silently staring at him made him feel immense pressure, as if his heart might jump out of his chest!

So intimidating!

Su Xingyu heard his cry and realized who was behind her. She instinctively struggled in Lu Shifeng’s embrace, but he just held her tighter.

Lu Shifeng’s sharp eyes fixed on Fang Luohua, "You can leave now."

Fang Luohua was covered in cold sweat, the boss’s murderous look gave him the illusion he might be torn to pieces any second. He couldn’t help but feel grateful that he hadn’t really high fived Su Xingyu just now, who knows what a jealous boss might do?! But even though he was afraid, Fang Luohua still looked at Su Xingyu with loyalty, meaning: Xingyu, do you need me to stay and help?

Su Xingyu shook her head slightly towards him.

Fang Luohua hesitated, was Xingyu really not needing help or was she too scared to resist against the boss’s overbearing presence? The boss really looked terrifying...

While hesitating, Lu Shifeng’s voice turned colder: "Get lost."

"Ah, oh!" That ’get lost’ was like thunder out of nowhere, instantly turning Fang Luohua from a righteous youth to a coward, remembering his livelihood depended on this man, he rolled away very unethically.

Su Xingyu: "..."

It wasn’t until Fang Luohua had rolled away that she broke free from Lu Shifeng’s embrace, turned around and looked at him, not very happy, "Why were you so harsh to my colleague?"

"I only ever give orders once," Lu Shifeng said without any guilt, "I only told him to leave because he’s your colleague." If it were someone else, he would have been demoted, had his salary cut, or even been fired by now.

Su Xingyu was speechless, capitalists were truly shameless! How terrifying.

"How did you know I was here?" After catching her breath, she remembered to ask Lu Shifeng.

Lu Shifeng said, "It’s simple, the driver saw what happened by the car and told me." So he followed the direction they left in.

Su Xingyu immediately got nervous again: "Then, uh, did you see Yun Xi and Xia Ranran on your way here, they’re two women about my age, they didn’t follow, did they?"

Lu Shifeng blandly said, "Those two women? I had them removed."

Su Xingyu didn’t ask how he got rid of them, he was the big boss here, he had countless ways to deal with two minor employees. While feeling relieved, she was also uneasy: "Lu Shifeng, I said that it’s easy for us to be discovered like this, avoiding it today doesn’t solve tomorrow, I think we should..."

"No way." Lu Shifeng rejected it without a thought.

Su Xingyu was angry, "You don’t even know what I was going to say!"

Lu Shifeng calmly glanced at her, "You just don’t want to take my car anymore, what else could it be?"

Su Xingyu found herself speechless...

Feeling uneasy all the way to the car, Su Xingyu felt like a thief, and when the car doors closed and the car started, she couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

Lu Shifeng asked, "Are you really that nervous?"

Su Xingyu was displeased, "You’re not the one who’s tense, of course you don’t care."

Lu Shifeng glanced at her calmly again.

Su Xingyu dared not speak again, his look was indeed intimidating, and made her feel a chill down her neck at any moment. She sat quietly like a little wife, thinking about how to get out of this embarrassing situation, she couldn’t always rely on Fang Luohua to help her out, could she?... Wait, Fang Luohua?

Su Xingyu’s eyes lit up, she looked up to Lu Shifeng and said, "How about this, since Fang Luohua already knows my identity, let him send me home in the future? It would save...you...from the trouble..."

Her voice grew softer and softer under Lu Shifeng’s murderous gaze.

"Are you done?" Lu Shifeng asked, his cold profile reflected against the rapidly retreating neon lights outside the car window seemed almost unreal.

"I’m done," Su Xingyu whispered.

"You’re asking for it." The man’s cold lips uttered these words as he leaned back against the leather seat of the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Su Xingyu felt her scalp tingle sitting next to him, completely unsure what he meant by those words, was he saying she was asking for it, or was it Fang Luohua? She wished she could scratch the wall or grab this unreasonable man to roar at him, what’s wrong with him, lunatic, psycho! He messes things up himself and won’t let others help?!

Ah...wait, mess up?!

Su Xingyu had an epiphany, suddenly catching a key point, summoning her courage indignantly, "Lu Shifeng! You promised to keep my identity a secret! But now there are rumors spreading all over the company, and yet you won’t let me take measures! If this continues, my identity will be exposed sooner or later, all because of you! How is this keeping your promise? This is so unreasonable!"

She said a whole string of words in one breath, nervously waiting for him to respond, but he continued to rest his eyes, it was unclear if he’d heard or not.

"Lu Shifeng!" She was even more irritated, itching to grab his collar.

"Stop making noise." Yet he was the first to grab her slender white hand, taking the opportunity to tug her into his arms, "Keep me company for a nap."

"Hey, you...!" She still wanted to resist, but her body was firmly held in his arms, his long breaths brushing against her cheek and hair, tickling unbearably.

She quieted down, realizing in just a short while, he seemed to have fallen asleep, she looked up at his face, seeing a faint trace of fatigue at the corner of his eyes. Her heart softened suddenly, remembering how he usually left early and returned late, busy with his feet barely touching the ground, did he have something to do even after sending her home? Actually, if he didn’t send her home, he could save half an hour to rest...
