Shadow Bride

Chapter 54 Love in the eyes

Lu Shifeng didn’t like her very much.

At night that day, in the bedroom, he forcibly lifted her chin: “When will you have a temper?”

She looked at him faintly, without speaking or crying in pain.

He increased his hand strength: “I want to ask you something!”

She sighed with pain, and said with some difficulty: “I didn’t have a temper. I did everything you want me to do. What else do you want?”

Lu Shifeng was irritable, and he didn’t know what was wrong with him. The more he saw her like this, the more his desire for destruction became as uncontrollable as a volcano. He squeezed her down on the bed and tried all the means he could think of, but she only cried when she was in extreme pain, and once the storm passed, she returned to her indifferent appearance.

His methods are getting more and more cruel.

Until one day, she fainted under him, full of blood on the bed.

Then the high fever did not go away, and she did not open her eyes for a whole week.

Lu Shifeng panicked and sent her to the hospital. The attending doctor looked at him seriously: “Mr. Lu, although you are rich and powerful, I still have to say-your behavior is domestic violence and can be tested and convicted! ******’S physical condition is very bad, you must stop this behavior right away! Right away! Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as being in a coma next time, you can directly prepare for her funeral!”

Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper who accompanied him, was very nervous, and kept making faces to the attending doctor, suggesting that he should not irritate him.

But Lu Shifeng, who has always been cold and innocent, just silently sat down on the edge of her hospital bed and gently held her hand.

Her hands are very thin, different from the slender and beautiful when she first married him, but a kind of skinny and unhealthy thinness.

He put her hands in his palms with both hands, lowered his head, and thought, since when did things turn out to be like this? He married her to take care of her for life, not to hurt her.

Leave her in the hospital and leave Gui Ma behind. He will have an important meeting tomorrow and must go home to study the materials in the study.

With the butler Zhong Bo, sitting in his usual black Bentley, the driver drove smoothly all the way back to the wealthy area.

Passing by a villa full of red roses.

A Rolls-Royce parked in front of the villa seemed to be going out.

The girl named Xia Ling stood in front of the car, reluctantly tugging at the corner of Pei Ziheng’s clothes, making a small temper.

Pei Ziheng lowered his head and said something to her, causing the girl to lower his head and laugh, and then tried hard to make an angry look on the floor, and simply hugged his arm with his hands to prevent him from leaving.

Next to the Rolls-Royce, the driver in white gloves looked strange.

“Mr. Pei is going to go far again,” said Lu Shifeng’s driver, driving a Bentley from near them, while exclaiming, “He is so spoiled to spoil Miss Xia. No wonder many people doubt Miss Xia. I will be the wife of the chairman of the God Emperor in the future.”

Lu Shifeng’s brows twitched slightly: “They? Isn’t she the girl he adopted?”

Xia Ling is a superstar, and her temperament is arrogant. Coupled with living in this community, everyone in this community knows that she and Pei Ziheng are adoptive.

The driver laughed: “Master, you don’t know anymore. Those of us secretly said that the way Miss Xia looks at Mr. Pei is like an adopted daughter watching her adoptive father? It’s not like a sister watching her elder brother, it’s a woman. Look at the man’s eyes. As for Mr. Pei, the way he looks at Miss Xia is not innocent. Master, one person likes the other, needless to say, you can see it naturally in your eyes.”

He does not mean that.

Lu Shifeng asked, “What about me and Madam?”

“What?” The driver did not understand.

“I said you young lady,” Lu Shifeng stared at him closely from the back seat of the car, “When she looked at me, what was the look in her eyes?”

“This…” The driver was speechless, and he even drove smoothly, even the steering wheel was accidentally tilted.

After an awkward silence, the driver racked his brains: “Young lady… Young lady naturally likes you, young master.”

But even Lu Shifeng heard his insincere words.

The air pressure in the Bentley suddenly dropped, and the driver secretly regretted that he had said the wrong thing. He asked Mr. Pei and Ms. Xia instead of what he said. Isn’t this a rush to stimulate his young master?

This low pressure lasted for several days.

The hospital informed him that Su Xingyu woke up, and he rushed to see her, but her expression towards him was still faint.

Lu Shifeng has never taken care of a woman in his life, so he doesn’t know what else can he do besides ordering people to serve her and buying nutrition for her? I only visited her ward once, because the atmosphere was too embarrassing, so I left early.

He buried himself in work.

Secretary-General Xie Zhen accompanied him for several days, and finally realized that the boss’s emotions were wrong: “The strategic plan for the next year has been drawn up, and the recent financial report is also very beautiful. Several major projects have been finalized. Follow the schedule. BOSS, you can rest for a while, although you are still young, you must take care of your body.”

Lu Shifeng buried his head in the official document without raising his eyelids: “It’s not necessary.”

Xie Jian: “But I still have to take care of my body.”

Lu Shifeng: “…”

In this world, the subordinate who dared to speak to him like this is probably only Xie Jian.

Lu Shifeng slammed the fountain pen in his hand and looked up at Xie Yan: “Well, have you ever been in a relationship? Some people say that Su Xingyu and I are not like husband and wife. What do you think?”

The thinking of the BOSS of the University of Science and Technology is so straightforward.

Xie Yan was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that his own BOSS would have a day of emotional distress. Thinking about it and feeling it was unexpected, after all, besides this kind of thing in this world, what else could stump their wise and powerful boss? However, he doesn’t have much experience in this area: “What can I be dissatisfied with, Madam? You will not spend time and drink outside, and you will not detain her family. Besides, some time ago, your mother clamored for you to take her back to the ancestral house for a banquet. ——It’s a Hongmen Banquet. You refused to protect her. For a good husband like you, I really can’t think of why my wife doesn’t like you.”

At this point, Xie Yan paused: “So, if you push back, she must like you.”

Lu Shifeng thought, should he ask for another person?

Although he agrees with the Secretary-General’s answer, the actual situation is that Su Xingyu hates her to the point that he doesn’t even want to say more.

“Career is really so important to women?” He seemed to be muttering to himself, and he seemed to be asking Xie Zhen, “Xing Yu blames me for not letting her be a photographer.”

Xie Jian finds it difficult to understand: “BOSS, look at the female employees in our office, and even those senior women. Which one of them takes career first? Even Ms. Zhuang, the first photographer of our group, also I keep saying that when I get married in the future, I will take care of my husband and child. Although a woman’s career is important, how can it be more important than a family?”
