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

Chapter 984 Caught by Husband, the Commander, on Their Wedding Night (17)

Shen Shuyi ran over and forcefully lifted the beam that was pressing down on Lu Heng.

Lu Heng looked up and met her worried eyes. "Shuyi, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Get up quickly." Shen Shuyi didn't care about her hands. Just as she was about to exert force, the man rolled over and got out. His strength was unimaginable.

Just then, several men in black rushed out, their faces covered in blood, looking extremely terrifying, and grabbed Shen Shuyi and pulled her up.

"The meaning of the book!"

With a sharp blade pressed against her neck, Lu Heng suddenly stood up, and all his bodyguards appeared, each of them wounded.

Lu Heng stared sharply at the cornered man in black. "Let her go."

"Hand over the roster, then step back. Once we're in a safe place, we'll release your wife." The leader of the men in black stared intently at Lu Heng.

Shen Shuyi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Lu Heng sneered, "Even if you get the list, you're doomed. You know what I'm capable of."

"Don't come any closer!" the man in black said menacingly. "Hand over the roster immediately, or I'll kill her!"

The sharp blade pierced Shen Shuyi's neck, leaving a glaring bloody mark as a warning to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng reached out and pulled out the roster. "Don't hurt her."

"Otherwise, I'll make you all pay with your lives."

"Enough with the nonsense, throw it over here, then step back." The man in black stared intently at the booklet in Lu Heng's hand.

When Lu Heng saw blood flowing from Shen Shuyi's neck, his head buzzed. In a flash, he saw Shen Shuyi's slightly curved eyes and her blinking eyes.

He tossed the roster over, and as the man in black caught it, the sharp blade pressed tightly against Shen Shuyi's neck loosened.

In that instant, Shen Shuyi ducked down to escape the other party's control, and with another sweeping kick, she knocked the man in black to the ground and snatched the list she had just obtained.

"You bitch, you're asking for death!" Another man in black swung his knife at Shen Shuyi, who nimbly dodged.

A dart came hurtling through the air and pierced the man in black's neck with a "thud".

The man in black was hit by a dart and fell to the ground. Lu Heng reacted quickly and rushed forward to pull Shen Shuyi behind him to protect her.

In less than fifteen minutes, the guards subdued all the remaining men in black.

Before Shen Shuyi could react, the man scooped her up in his arms and carried her back to the carriage. Lu Heng immediately checked her injuries.

"Shuyi, how are you?"

Shen Shuyi met his dark eyes, and her eyes stung, filling with tears.

I'm fine.

When Lu Heng saw the tears that were about to fall, a hint of panic flashed across his usually calm and handsome face.

Did you scare her to tears?

Shen Shuyi turned her back, wiped her eyes, composed herself, and handed the recovered roster to Lu Heng.

Here, take it.

Lu Heng's gaze fell on her neck, where the congealed bloodstain was shocking.

He took out the ointment and gently treated her wound.

"The roster is nothing compared to you."

Shen Shuyi was startled by his words, "This doesn't sound like something you would say."

"In your heart, am I the kind of cold-blooded, ruthless person who would sacrifice his wife for official duties?" Lu Heng took out a clean strip of cloth and wrapped it around Shen Shuyi's neck.

When wrapping her in the cloth strips, Lu Heng's hands seemed to be holding her in his arms, making his presence very strong.

Shen Shuyi glanced at him, "I don't know you that well either."

Lu Heng finished bandaging her wound and stared intently at the person in front of him.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he was certain that Shen Shuyi had definitely become a different person.

According to his intelligence, Shen Shuyi could not possibly be skilled in martial arts.

That sweeping kick just now, with its skillful force, is something even an ordinary martial artist couldn't do.

Who exactly is Shen Shuyi in front of me? She looks exactly the same, but has a completely different personality.

Lu Heng was somewhat confused, but mostly excited.

No matter who she is, she will always be Lu Heng's wife!
"I can learn about it gradually in the future."

Shen Shuyi snorted, "I never said I wanted to understand you. Once this matter is over, we'll get a divorce."

Lu Heng wrapped his arms around her and said, "We'll talk about it later."

"Rest for a while, I'll call you when we get to the inn."

Shen Shuyi was frightened and indeed exhausted. She fell asleep shortly after the carriage swayed.

As Lu Heng listened to her steady breathing, he slowly tightened his arms and pressed his chin against her neck.

"Shuyi, I never thought I would fall in love with any woman in my life, but unexpectedly, at this moment, I am in love with you."

"I only love you."

Shen Shuyi felt dazed and confused. She vaguely heard someone talking in her ear and breath spraying over her. She moved her head slightly.

Lu Heng lay half-reclined in the carriage, holding her in his arms to make her more comfortable.

Looking at her sleeping face, so beautiful, he said again, "Shuyi, let's not get a divorce, okay? I'll try my best to be the person you like from now on."

After saying that, Lu Heng realized how childish his behavior was and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Lu Heng didn't let go; instead, he kissed Shen Shuyi's cheek.

Shen Shuyi slept for an unknown amount of time, and when she woke up, she was already at the inn.

[Congratulations, host! Your target, Lu Heng, has reached a 90% affection level for you—the kind that's unwavering until death, willing to die for you!]
Shen Shuyi sighed, "There's still 10% left. Could it be that... you know, it'll take some time to reach the maximum?"

[Give it a try! O(∩_∩)O Haha~]
Shen Shuyi: "..." This is not something you can try.

Given Lu Heng's previous sharp tongue, she'd better get her revenge. He's got such a high level of goodwill; she can do whatever she wants with him!
I'm so excited just thinking about it!
On the way back, Shen Shuyi appeared indifferent, which piqued Lu Heng's interest. Even after returning to the mansion, Lu Heng did not find a chance to have a heart-to-heart talk with her because he was busy dealing with a major case that involved a wide range of people.

Many officials in the court were involved, including Grand Secretary Shen and the Fourth Prince Zhu Jing.

While Lu Heng was handling a case at the yamen, when it was time for lunch, he couldn't help but recall the scene of Shen Shuyi bringing him food.

Unfortunately, she won't be coming anymore.

Lu Heng pinched the bridge of his nose and took some time to return to his residence for a meal.

Shen Shuyi was slightly surprised when she saw him. "Weren't you so busy you barely had time to breathe? Why are you back?"

"The food in the manor is more to my liking." Lu Heng sat down opposite her, and the servants quickly served the dishes.

Shen Shuyi didn't believe it. A man who had served in the military wouldn't be picky about food. She had never seen him come home so often before.

"Is the case progressing smoothly?"

"Well, now that we've removed a few parasites, Zhu Jing should have a headache." Lu Heng regretted mentioning that person's name as soon as he finished speaking.

Shen Shuyi remained expressionless. "It's good that everything goes smoothly."

“I’m in the Crown Prince’s camp. It’s a fight to the death between me and Zhu Jing.” Lu Heng observed Shen Shuyi’s expression.

Shen Shuyi nodded nonchalantly, "Mm."

That's good. Killing Zhu Jing will avenge the original owner of this body.

"In another half month, I will arrange for Mother to return to her hometown." Lu Heng was still looking at her.

Shen Shuyi looked up and glanced at him. "It's my mother."

“She’s also my mother.” Lu Heng reached out and placed his hand on Shen Shuyi’s hand.

Shen Shuyi pulled her hand away, glared at him, and said, "Eat properly."

Seeing her alive and well, Lu Heng was delighted. "Okay, I'll go home early tonight."

"Anyway, it's none of my business," Shen Shuyi muttered, ignoring the man's deep eyes.

"Shuyi, wait for me tonight. I have something to tell you." Lu Heng took her hand again.
