Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 974 Caught by Husband, the Commander, on Their Wedding Night (7)

"Let go." Lu Heng said expressionlessly.

"Let go if you want. Why are you being so distant with me? You don't mean you want to take everything from the Shen family and then divorce me, do you?" Shen Shuyi followed the man who quickly left.

Lu Heng didn't respond to her, and Shen Shuyi felt bored and went back.

As soon as it was light, Lu Heng took Shen Shuyi back home without even having breakfast. Shen Fu thought he was too arrogant and rude, little did she know that her background had been exposed.

Shen Shuyi got into the carriage with Lu Heng. She leaned against the carriage wall and felt sleepy. When the carriage swayed, she almost fell forward.

Startled awake, she glared at Lu Heng and said, "It's all your fault. You knew I didn't sleep much last night, yet you insisted on bringing me back to the manor first thing this morning."

Lu Heng thought she was incredibly audacious; no one had ever dared to glare at him before.

He raised an eyebrow and teased, "Still reluctant to leave? Or do you want to wait until you see someone before you go?"

Shen Shuyi threw the tightly wrung-out handkerchief at Lu Heng's face, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Hearing her coquettish voice, Lu Heng raised his hand and removed the handkerchief from his face.

Shen Shuyi blushed when she saw him use a clean, fragrant, and soft handkerchief to wipe the blade.

"You, you're a scoundrel."

"Since you've already lost it, why should I take it?"

Upon returning to the Lu residence, Shen Shuyi jumped off the carriage without looking back and left.

Lu Heng found her huffy expression amusing; indeed, she was completely different from the woman described in the intelligence report.

What exactly is going on?

How can someone change so much in such a short time?
Lu Heng had no time to think further. He changed his clothes at home and went to the yamen to handle some business.

Shen Shuyi had nothing to do at the Lu residence, and since Qiaoxi had already been sent back to the Shen residence, she called the steward and asked him to select two nimble maids to work in the courtyard.

Since Shen Shuyi had nothing to do at home, she went for a stroll in the street.

She lived in the bustling city center, where shops lined the streets, making it a lively place.

Jewelry, silks and satins, exquisite food—she plundered everything she saw, as long as it was something she liked.

When it came time to pay, she simply mentioned Commander Lu's name and told them to go to the Lu family's money exchange to withdraw the money.

Lu Heng was working in the government office when he soon received a message from his subordinates.

His subordinate said his wife was going on shopping sprees everywhere and asked if they should stop her.

Lu Heng paused in his flipping through the files, without looking up, and said, "Let her be."

The man's usually calm expression faltered slightly when his subordinate delivered the next piece of news.

"My lord, your wife met the Fourth Prince on the street."

Shen Shuyi did indeed run into Zhu Jing. She suspected that Zhu Jing had specifically sent someone to keep an eye on her; otherwise, how could he have found her so accurately among so many people on the street?

At that moment, she was dining in a private room at Zuixianlou Restaurant, having ordered a table full of delicacies, when Zhu Jing swaggered in.

The door to the private room creaked shut, and Zhu Jing sat down opposite her without a word.

"Yi'er, so you still remember our promise."

Shen Shuyi picked up a shredded bamboo shoot and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly.

What agreement?
When did she make any agreement with Zhu Jing?

Seeing that she remained silent, Zhu Jing continued, "Before the New Year, I told you that the bamboo shoot and chicken breast at Zuixianlou was the most delicious, refreshing and not greasy. We made a promise to come and taste it in the spring."

"Yi'er, why didn't you come out that night?"

"Fourth Prince, you were the first to break your promise." Shen Shuyi thought this kind of scumbag who used any means to toy with an innocent young girl was particularly shameless.

The original owner was naive and was used by him time and time again. In the end, he even killed her. She refused to drink the Meng Po soup until she stabbed him to death.

Zhu Jing dropped his nonchalant expression and grabbed her wrist. Shen Shuyi struggled and shouted angrily.

"Let go! Even if you're a prince, you still have to abide by etiquette!"

Zhu Jing was unwilling to let her go. After not seeing her for a while, he found that Shen Shuyi had become even more beautiful.

Those angry eyes made her seem exceptionally vibrant.

"Didn't you used to really want to marry me?"

"Are you playing hard to get with me now?"

Shen Shuyi felt disgusted by what she heard, forcefully shook off Zhu Jing's hand, and was just about to punch him unconscious without a second thought.

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Shen Shuyi looked up and saw Lu Heng, dressed in a flying fish robe, stride in. The outfit accentuated his tall and straight figure, and the phoenix belt around his waist was tightly fastened. The embroidered spring knife hanging there swayed with his steps, and the gilded hilt on the scabbard flashed with a cold light.

The man had a sharp, taut jawline, deep and piercing eyes, and his dark gaze swept across the room before he walked straight toward her.

Shen Shuyi retracted her fist and met Lu Heng's deep and cold eyes.

The Imperial Guards behind Lu Heng lowered their heads and went outside to stand guard. This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other people in the restaurant, but seeing that it was the Imperial Guards on duty, they dared not rush forward to watch the excitement.

Shen Shuyi wasn't guilty at all. She walked up to Lu Heng and said, "Husband, I'm eating perfectly fine here. The Fourth Prince..."

Lu Heng glanced at her, then his gaze fell on Zhu Jing. "What business does Your Highness have with my wife?"

Zhu Jing concealed his sinister gaze toward Lu Heng. If it weren't for Lu Heng, he would have already brought down the Crown Prince long ago, so why would he have been biding his time until now!

"Commander Lu has arrived at just the right time."

"I have nothing to do, I just wanted to catch up with some old friends."

Although Zhu Jing was a prince, he couldn't match Lu Heng's imposing presence, who had trained in the military since childhood and later became a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, adding to his ruthless aura.

But he knew how to disgust this unfazed King Yama.

Zhu Jing deliberately kept his gaze fixed on Shen Shuyi while he spoke. Today, she was wearing a lotus-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with a moon-white gauze shirt, a red-gold hairpin inlaid with pearls adorning her temple, and a green silk belt around her slender waist. She looked radiant and charming.

Shen Shuyi noticed Zhu Jing's gaze and moved behind Lu Heng.

She hid behind Lu Heng, reached out and grabbed his arm, and peeked out, "Husband, I have nothing to say to the Fourth Prince."

Lu Heng remained noncommittal at her sudden display of docile dependence, "Have you eaten enough?"

"That's about enough." Shen Shuyi subconsciously patted her stomach; in fact, she hadn't eaten much at all.

"I haven't eaten yet. Would you like to have something to eat with me when we get back to the manor?"

Shen Shuyi nodded, "Okay~"

Zhu Jing was ignored, so he clenched his fist and said deliberately, "Yi'er loves the fresh bamboo shoots and drunken chicken at Zuixianlou. She has already eaten her fill. Why should Commander Lu force her to eat with you?"

"Shuyi, is that so?" Lu Heng's tone was very calm, but Shen Shuyi could hear the threat in the man's voice.

Shen Shuyi deliberately hugged Lu Heng's arm and said with a smile, "Husband, although I'm full, I'd still like to cook for you."

"When we get back to the manor, I'll make you my best lotus leaf rice."

Lu Heng raised an eyebrow. This morning, the pampered young lady was fierce and ignored him, but now she's offering to cook for him?

He didn't know what Shen Shuyi was planning, but he still nodded slightly. "Let's go."

Zhu Jing frowned; he had never eaten a meal cooked by Shen Shuyi.

His gaze swept over Lu Heng and he noticed a smile playing on Lu Heng's lips.

Watching Shen Shuyi leave arm in arm with Lu Heng, Zhu Jing suddenly realized that Shen Shuyi had already married Lu Heng and was now Lu Heng's wife!
