CHAPTER 231: CHAPTER 233: ZHUANG HENG LEAVES

He waved the documents in his hand at her, signaling for her to come and take them.

Su Xingyu hesitated again and again, really wanting to ignore him, but thinking of this man’s stomach issues, she couldn’t bear to turn her back on him. She felt like such a saint, this kind of man deserved to starve and suffer! But in reality, she just swallowed her anger and approached him cautiously, more careful than last time, to take the documents from his hand.

This time she learned her lesson. As soon as her slender fingers touched the documents, she snatched them like lightning and pulled back, as if bitten by a snake.

Lu Shifeng found it amusing: "Am I really that scary?"

Su Xingyu retorted stubbornly, "No, I just don’t want you to go back on your word." But the blush on her face betrayed her feelings.

Lu Shifeng leaned back against the head of the bed, commanded, "Set up dinner, and push it over."

In the hospital room, there was a table specifically prepared for patients to eat on, equipped with wheels. She quickly opened the thermal container, laid out all the dishes, and pushed the table towards him with extra caution. The closer she got to him, the more careful she was. To Su Xingyu, the man sitting still on the bed seemed like some kind of monster, perhaps the little dinosaur from her dream—appearing harmless yet extremely fierce.

Her heart pounded heavily in her chest, and she finally managed to push the table in front of him.

He noticed that there were two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. "You haven’t had dinner either?" he asked.

Su Xingyu replied, "I went to the NX Airlines press conference today, and by the time it was over, it was too late, so I went back and had Mrs. Gui make dinner for me to bring over so we could eat together."

His brows furrowed slightly. If he’d known she hadn’t eaten, he wouldn’t have delayed for so long. What time was it now? If she starved, what would he do?

"Next time, eat first before coming to see me," he instructed.

As she unwrapped the chopsticks, Su Xingyu said, "It’s okay, I’m not hungry anyway."

He, however, was non-negotiable: "Eat first, then come. That’s an order."

Another order. Su Xingyu was displeased: "Besides ordering me not to do this and that, what else can you do?" Hmph, tyrant, pervert, lunatic!

Lu Shifeng looked at her: "This is our contract."

"The contract also states that I can make requests! My request is to be allowed to come to the hospital and eat with you from now on!" she demanded confidently.

As the two of them argued, they suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside.

Lu Shifeng said, "Come in."

The hospital room door opened and closed, and in walked a woman in an elegant suit, her makeup exquisite, her demeanor graceful—Zhuang Heng.

Su Xingyu held her chopsticks in mid-air, stunned that Zhuang Heng was there too. A glance at what Zhuang Heng was holding in her hand revealed it was also a thermal container. Could she be here to bring food as well?

"What a coincidence," Zhuang Heng saw Su Xingyu, a trace of hidden disdain flashing in her charming eyes before she turned and smiled softly at Lu Shifeng, "Shifeng, I came to see you and didn’t expect Xingyu to be here too." Saying this, she naturally placed the thermal container on the table and twisted her body to sit on the chair beside his bed, "How’s your health?"

"Miss Zhuang, Shifeng is eating, please don’t disturb him," Su Xingyu said bluntly.

Zhuang Heng tilted her head, seemingly a bit aggrieved, and said to Su Xingyu, "Xingyu, I’m just here to see him. I’ve been taking care of Shifeng every day for the past few days."

Every day?! Su Xingyu was about to explode. She almost visited every day too, so how come Lu Shifeng never mentioned Zhuang Heng’s visits? Her beautiful eyes glared at Lu Shifeng accusingly, as if saying, "You better explain this to me clearly!"

Lu Shifeng glanced at her, then said to Zhuang Heng, "Since Xingyu is here today, you should go back."

"Shifeng..." Zhuang Heng’s heart sank. Normally, Lu Shifeng was always gentle and pleasant to her, so why would he start sending her away just because Su Xingyu showed up? Wasn’t this indirectly indicating that Su Xingyu meant more to him?

Su Xingyu, however, was delighted. No matter how much Lu Shifeng had indulged Zhuang Heng before, they could settle scores later—anyway, he was asking Zhuang Heng to leave now. She smiled sweetly at Zhuang Heng and said, "Miss Zhuang, please don’t disturb us while we’re eating. Seeing you might ruin my appetite. You should leave."

"You!" Zhuang Heng was taken aback that Su Xingyu would be so brazen even in front of Lu Shifeng. So the plane accident did bring them closer in life-and-death, making their relationship different, didn’t it? Zhuang Heng was both angry and anxious, involuntarily speaking to Lu Shifeng with a slight whimper, "Shifeng, look at how she’s speaking to me! Even if she doesn’t like heiresses like me, she should at least respect me as the chief photographer of Feng Ren, right?"

Lu Shifeng still said the same thing, "You go back first."

"Shifeng!"

"Go back," the man’s tone turned cold, "Xingyu doesn’t like you staying here."

Zhuang Heng’s face finally changed, the vague sense of crisis in her heart turned into sheer astonishment—it turned out he was asking her to leave just because Su Xingyu disliked it!

"How can you treat me like this," Zhuang Heng’s carefully done eyes misted with a faint watery sheen, "I’ve been following you for so long, without any merit, there is still hard work..."

"Zhuang Heng, this is a hospital room, not a company," Lu Shifeng said patiently for the last time, "Xingyu is my woman, you are not. I want to spend time alone with Xingyu, do you also need to stay and watch?"

His words were heavy, causing Zhuang Heng’s face to oscillate between green and white, feeling deeply humiliated.

"Shifeng, you’re too much!" She said, unable to withstand the blow, and quickly got up to leave the hospital room.

The room returned to silence, and Su Xingyu’s face was flushed. What was that about spending time alone just now, gosh, it was too suggestive! However, that "Xingyu is my woman, and you’re not" was truly satisfying to hear, hahahaha. Let’s see if Zhuang Heng dares to be arrogant in front of her in the future! Su Xingyu’s mood unexpectedly brightened, and she moved the thermal container Zhuang Heng brought to the corner before continuing to eat.

Lu Shifeng quietly watched her: "Your mood seems to have improved."

"Seeing Zhuang Heng unhappy, I could eat three bowls of rice happily!" Su Xingyu boldly declared, "Eating so well."

Lu Shifeng said, "I told you long ago, you have a bias against her."

"No, I don’t, hmph." Su Xingyu retorted, "Besides, you’re the one who didn’t want her to stay here."

"I was helping you get rid of her," Lu Shifeng said slowly, "considering your injury has just healed."

When he said that, she realized indeed, Zhuang Heng had been visiting for several days, but it was only this time, with her present, that he asked her to leave!

"You..." She wanted to advise Lu Shifeng to not get too close to Zhuang Heng, but figured that the socially-awkward loner might not listen anyway. She sighed and quietly continued eating.

Lu Shifeng picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and placed it on her plate: "Don’t just eat rice."

He then asked her, "When are you going back to work at the company?"
