Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 444 - 457: The Wager Is Lu Shifeng

Comparing... Lu Shifeng?

She was indeed willing to, since she truly had no plans to live with him now.

Just unsure if that cold and awkward man would agree, over the years, her wishes have been truly unimportant, not important at all...

Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, a voice cold as winter frost interrupted—"I am not a wager."

The originally bustling and lively scene in the hall seemed to drop to freezing point, that voice was like a chilling charm, making people shudder.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads and saw a man stride in from outside, carrying a frigid air, his face as gloomy as if someone owed him a hundred and eighty billion.

Where he passed, the crowd instinctively made way, no one dared to thwart his momentum.

Lu Shifeng.

Mr. Lu, the scandalous protagonist in the dispute between two women, why was he here?

Everyone’s eyes were on him, but no one dared to make a sound, even their breathing was light, holding their breath to see how things would unfold.

Lu Shifeng walked straight up to Su Xingyu, his sharp, narrow eyes coldly meeting hers: "Your courage has grown larger and larger, daring to use me as a wager?" He had been cautious about Su Xingyu these days, attentive to her emotions, and had seldom spoken to her in such a superior manner. But today, as soon as he stepped outside the door, he heard her mention comparing photography, and he erupted in fury, unconsciously adopting this intensely oppressive demeanor.

"I..." Su Xingyu was always frightened by his attitude and decisively shirked responsibility, "It wasn’t me using you as a wager, it was Zhuang Heng! I just suggested comparing photography, didn’t say what the wager was."

Thankfully, Lu Shifeng came in quickly, if he’d come even a second later, she might have agreed to Zhuang Heng’s wager!

At this moment, Su Xingyu’s little white rabbit heart was very grateful, like escaping disaster.

Sure enough, Lu Shifeng realized he was too impulsive, his first reaction upon hearing they were using him as a wager was that Su Xingyu must not do this, as for Zhuang Heng? He didn’t care at all.

Hence, he instinctively went to Su Xingyu’s side, forgetting in his anger that the wager was proposed by Zhuang Heng.

Now, he turned to stare at Zhuang Heng, his voice terrifyingly deep: "My divorce with you is our business alone, who gave you the courage to harass Xingyu?"

He asked himself if he had been generous enough, giving Zhuang Heng face for the sake of Jue, even when announcing the divorce he hadn’t embarrassed her too much, merely citing incompatibility without mentioning her faults, even the breakup fee was adequate. Yet even so, Zhuang Heng was not satisfied! Still bringing a crowd to trouble Xingyu!

This time, he rushed over from Fengren upon hearing Zhuang Heng brought people to cause a scene, fearing something might happen to Xingyu, specially to stop her.

Zhuang Heng felt aggrieved and wanted to cry, looking at Lu Shifeng pleadingly: "Shifeng, forgive me, I love you too much, I can’t live without you..."

While a group of reporters was wildly snapping shots at them, a rare chance with all three love triangle protagonists present, truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"What needed to be said has long been told to you," Lu Shifeng was utterly unmoved by Zhuang Heng, coldly telling her, "Do I have to repeat it in front of so many people again? For all these years, I never loved you, not a second nor a hair’s breadth. Back then I gave you a title for the sake of you having Jue, even Jue was not something I forced you to have, many times I suggested you abort, it was you who secretly gave birth behind my back. Zhuang Heng, for that one mistaken night, I’ve compensated you enough, if you continue to cause trouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Big... big gossip!

The reporters and onlooking crowd exploded in astonishment, what did Lu Shifeng just say, he never loved Zhuang Heng?!

All along, in public sight, Zhuang Heng consistently portrayed a loving appearance with Lu Shifeng, although Lu Shifeng never formally responded, he never denied what Zhuang Heng said. Everyone thought they married for love, some even sympathized with Zhuang Heng—

Even though the timing of Zhuang Heng having Jue was off, during Lu Shifeng and Su Xingyu’s marriage, true love conquers all!

Zhuang Heng sacrificed for true love!

Moreover, Su Xingyu had "died" in the fire scene, Zhuang Heng marrying Lu Shifeng became the second wife, many thought their relationship was a beautiful tale.

Yet now, one of the protagonists, Lu Shifeng, said he never loved Zhuang Heng at all?!

"Mr. Lu, can you explain to us what happened? Did you never love Miss Zhuang, and marrying her was merely because of her giving birth to Lu Jue?"

This was also the question in many hearts, if true, the tale of the perfect couple might need revision, with Zhuang Heng having married not for true love, but scheming to enter high society through childbirth!

Some with intricate thinking, pondered further: "Through childbirth, earlier Mr. Lu also said he repeatedly advised Zhuang Heng to abort the child. Mr. Lu didn’t want this child at the time, right? Why not want this sole son when he has no other offspring? It’s likely during prenatal checks it was known the child had congenital heart disease, hence not planning to keep it, right!"

This speculation was shocking, and the curious crowd started having thoughts: "Makes sense, if that’s the case, Zhuang Heng purposely gave birth to a sick child! She insisted on giving birth despite knowing the child would suffer, wanting desperately to elevate through childbirth!"

"Zhuang Heng definitely deliberately used the child to bind Lu Shifeng, definitely."

"Oh my, oh my, this woman’s scheming is way too deep and terrifying."

Reporters and the curious crowd had already imagined a hundred-and-eight palace drama scenes.

God have mercy, Zhuang Heng although having done many wrongs, never intended to not abort a diseased child and deliberately gave birth to elevate her status, truly she didn’t.

The child truly wasn’t biologically hers at all! Where was there any abortion or no abortion.

Yet facing the crowd’s discussions, she really found herself at a loss for words, she couldn’t possibly tell everyone the child was given to her by Ouyang Yi!

Unable to withstand the crowd’s disdainful gazes, Zhuang Heng covered her face, pretending to cry: "Shifeng... don’t do this, Shifeng..."

But Lu Shifeng wasn’t even willing to give her a look, only lowered his head, cautiously watching Su Xingyu, unsure whether her tense little face meant she was angry, or whether he had scared her too severely earlier. He tentatively said: "Xingyu, shall I take you home after work?"
