A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 120

Su Yicheng subconsciously wanted to throw Luo Xiaoxi’s hands away.

However, she seemed really scared. She stared at her injured feet. Anxiety filled her beautiful eyes. Her grip on him was stronger than ever.

Eventually, Su Yicheng let go of the force. The force was ready to break out and could shake off Luo Xiaoxi’s hands anytime.

If he could follow her into the mountain, then shaking off her hands at this time could not erase what had happened.

“Miss Luo, we’ll take out the shards for you. It’ll hurt a little, please hold on for a minute.”

Luo Xiaoxi was immune to the woman doctor’s placebo smile. She just bit her lips and answered “okay” with a shaky voice.

When the shards bit her arches, it was so quick that she did not have the time to feel the pain. Nevertheless, now… she did not want to imagine the pain when the doctor took out every piece of the shards from her soles.

She involuntarily grabbed Su Yicheng’s hands tighter.

“Why did the company have to bring your debut forward?” Su Yicheng suddenly brought up the question.

Luo Xiaoxi darted a look at him and smiled proudly and s.e.xily. “Our Boss Lu has discovered my talent. People say that you should get famous while you’re still young. I’m already 24. Think about the young models in their teens, I’m already too late. Of course I should bring up my debut.”

“Do you want to get famous?”

Su Yicheng’s face was blank, only his pretty lips were giving out a chilling aura. He seemed to be satirizing Luo Xiaoxi. However, if you read into his words, things might not be what it looked like.

“What do you mean? Do you think I only want to get famous and horse around in the s...o...b..z? You really do think I’m still an amateur, right?” Luo Xiaoxi hated Su Yicheng’s proud look the most. She raised her chins determinedly. “Su Yingcheng, I’ll prove it to you that you’ve jumped to conclusions too fast.”

She took modeling seriously as her work, just like Su Yicheng to his company and Su Jianan to her medical examiner work. She had decided to make modeling her lifetime career.

To get into the business, she received intense training every day. When she was sweating like a pig on the workout gear, teachers were giving lessons beside her. She not only needed to work out for a fit body, but also had to remember everything that teachers had taught.

She had put into so much energy and effort, in the end, Su Yicheng thought she was only doing it for fun.

“Su Yicheng, you people are really annoying!”

The more she thought, the angrier she became. When she was in school, she was misjudged—People all thought that a girl like her must be one of Chen Xuanxuan’s clique. They lived off campus in luxury apartments, dated humourous and handsome white guys, and dressed to the nines to show up in fancy parties.

If she absorbed herself in textbooks, she was putting on a show. If she was ranked the first, she must have slept her way to the top. When she could not work any harder, people would say she was taking time off her party routine.

When people heard that she received a master’s degree, they would always think. “How? A girl her? She must have bought it from a diploma mill!”

If G.o.d had made her this way, should she just naturally become a trophy wife?

If she refused to do things she did not like, she was being lazy; when she wanted a career such as modeling, she must be craving for fame.

WTF!

“OK, Miss Su, the shards are already out.” The doctor put the tweezer on the tray. “Next I’ll wash your wounds. This won’t hurt. And it’s fast.”

Luo Xiaoxi was still resenting his remark. She was startled at that moment and soon collected herself. She nodded and twisted her head away to avoid Su Yicheng.

She was so angry.

Disinfection and bandaging were easy. Soon, it was done and she could leave. The nurse was considerate for having brought a new pair of slippers for her. Then, in no way was Luo Xiaoxi willing to take a wheelchair. She did not ask Su Yingcheng to hold her either. Instead, she supported herself against the walls and hobbled out.

Su Yicheng did not hurry to catch up with her. He followed her behind and his eyes were laid on her back.

During these years, Luo Xiaoxi would always pop up in his face. Every time, he would saw her vivid face.

Today, he found that she was so skinny, yet she was also so stubborn. Her way of being stubborn was different from Jianan’s.

Jianan’s stubbornness was quiet. When she could not crack a case, she would not crash the keyboard or bury her face in her hands, sighing on the sofa. All she would do was start all over again. She would find a way through experimenting and a.n.a.lyzing. She would work hard until the case was solved, until she could heave a sigh of relief.

Luo Xiaoxi had been loudly stubborn and pretty. Just by looking at her back, he could imagine the way she gritted her teeth to walk, and she probably was “greeting” him in the heart.

Su Yicheng walked to her and picked her up from behind.

Luo Xiaoxi was quick to respond. She wriggled in his arms. “Put me down!”

Su Yicheng did not even look at her and picked up the pace. “If you walk like that, it’ll be daytime when you walk out of the corridor.”

Luo Xiaoxi opened her mouth and bit Su Yicheng’s shoulder. He frowned. “Luo Xiaoxi, is your animal sign a dog?”

“Get lost!” Luo Xiaoxi growled. “My animal sign is a lion!”

Su Yicheng threw her on the front seat. “Where are you going to sleep tonight?”

“My apartment.” Luo Xiaoxi made a phone call to tell her parents that the training lasted for too long and she was going to sleep in her apartment in downtown. She would go home tomorrow night.

Su Yicheng knew where her apartment was. She used to make him drive her home. The apartment was not far away from his.

He started the car and they arrived in 20 minutes.

“Thank you.” Before Luo Xiaoxi got off the car, she suddenly said solemnly. “For saving me, and for the lift. I owe you one.”

Su Yicheng slowly twisted around to face her. “How are you going to repay me?”

“I’ll stop bothering you for a month.” Luo Xiaoxi readily proposed, grinning. “How about that? Is this the part where you should thank me?”

However, Su Yicheng’s eyes fell. It could not be known if he was happy or angry. He just said, “Then you get off the car right now.”

Luo Xiaoxi tsked and opened the door to get off. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned back. “You’re with me at this time. Won’t your girlfriend misunderstood if she knows about this?”

Su Yicheng knit his brows. “What girlfriend?”

“Zhang Mei! Why are you playing innocent?” Luo Xiaoxi smiled scornfully. “I went to the hotel last night. Zhang Mei opened the door for me. She was in a robe with kiss marks all over her neck. You’re brutal.”

Su Yicheng stared at Luo Xiaoxi for quite a while. Then, he laughed unfriendly. “Yes, she will. What are you going to do about that?”

“Nothing!” Luo Xiaoxi snorted and acted like she did not care. “What does that have anything to do with me? I’ll be thrilled to see you two break up!”

She pushed opened the door to get off the car and hobbled her way to the door. She tapped the card on the door and went upstairs without so much as a backward glance.

She lived on the 16th floor. Seeing her room was lit, Su Yicheng started the car to return to his apartment.

The moment he got home, his phone rang. It was from Zhang Mei.

Last night, he had made it clear to her. Why did she call him again so late?

He picked up the phone and the first thing he heard was Zhang Mei’s crying. He signed and sat on the sofa. “Zhang Mei.”

“I…” Zhang Mei was choking back tears. “Yicheng, I was wrong. I promised that I won’t have any thought about you. Please, don’t transfer me there, alright?”

Last time, when she thought she was going to get Su Yicheng, he suddenly sobered up. He pushed her away, apologized and said he could not it.

Just when she was about to get him, he suddenly went far far away from her. Zhang Mei had been craving him so too long. When the balloon of happiness suddenly burst, she completely lost control as well.

She threw herself at him and tried everything she knew to arouse him, but Su Yicheng was still as calm as when he was in a negotiation, unresponsive.

She was like a defeated animal. She went off the bed and buried her face in her hands, crying at the bedside. She wanted to know why so she asked Su Yicheng.

Su Yicheng was just apologizing. He could not explain it clearly. He simply said that for the future work and to avoid unpleasant encounters for her, she would be transferred to the Marketing Department as the manager.

Then, he left. When Luo Xiaoxi went to find him, only Zhang Mei was in the room.

Today she suddenly realized that if Su Yicheng really transferred her to the Marketing Department, then… the entire company would know that she failed.

What she was about to face was not the pressure from work, but the pressure from the public opinion. More importantly, chances for her to get near to Su Yicheng would become fewer and fewer.

Thus, she cried. She desperately called to beg Su Yicheng not to transfer her away at this time.

As long as she could stay by Su Yicheng’s side, she still got a chance.

“Sorry, Zhang Mei. I have to transfer you to the Marketing Department.” Su Yicheng turned her down. “Only in this way can you work without any personal emotion. If you can’t accept it, you could resign, and the company will pay you the breach penalty. If you’d like, I could write a reference to get you an important position in any company as good as Cheng An Group.”

“I don’t want to leave…” Zhang Mei understood the situation—Su Yicheng had decided to send her away and she could not change it. She could either walk away or—

She agreed. “OK, I’ll go to the Marketing Department.”

“OK. Hand over your work to Ada next Monday. She’ll take over your position. And go inform the Human Resources to find Ada’s replacement.”

“OK.” Zhang Mei took a deep breath and her voice suddenly sounded sobered up. “I’m sorry. I didn’t control my feelings and called you so late.”

“It’s alright.” Su Yicheng said, “Anything else?”

“Nothing.” Zhang Mei said, “Boss Su, bye.”

She put away her phone and wiped the tears.

When she agreed to go to Marketing Department, she was just delaying her plan to make her stay in Cheng An Group.

Where there was life, there was hope. Someday she would go back to Su Yicheng, and someday she would become Su Yicheng’s girlfriend.

In the meanwhile, Su Yicheng hung up the phone and switched the phone off. He still sat on the sofa and did not move an inch.

Zhang Mei really was the kind of woman he loved, and there happened to be a gap in his love schedule. He had no reason to turn her down.

However, last night, eventually, he involuntarily lost grip of her. He seemed to have another self inside him, a complete strange self.

He seemed to know the reason, because seconds before he pushed Zhang Mei away, the strange self in him remembered Luo Xiaoxi. She was all over the place. The way she smiled, the way she pouted, and the way she pretended s.e.xy to seduce him. So many of her took over his mind.

He just could not believe it, because he knew clearly that he did not love Luo Xiaoxi. Otherwise, he would have fallen for her when she was still a little girl.

Moreover, he would take everything he loved without reservation. If he really had a thing for Luo Xiaoxi, why had he turned her down for so many times?

Or, did Luo Xiaoxi’s trickling tactic succeed? Did she successfully trickle down to his life and become indispensable to his life?

He did not realize it until now.
