He still doesn't know about the engagement, let alone what kind of pit of fire Song Yunxi is about to be pushed into.

He assumed the other person was angry because they saw him drinking with his buddies and mistakenly thought he was cheating on them and taking on side jobs.

As long as he could appease people and keep them, he would accept it even if it meant trampling his dignity into the mud and letting Song Yunqi trample on it.

Song Yunxi looked down at the hand that was gripping her tightly, and the restlessness and exhaustion in her heart grew wildly like weeds.

"Relax."

With a cold face, he bent down and reached out to pry open Shen Chonglu's fingers.

But the man's hand was extremely strong. Even though Song Yunxi used all her strength and dug several of Shen Chonglu's fingers until they turned white, he still held on tightly.

"Shen Chonglu, I'm telling you to let go!"

Song Yunqi was furious and straightened up to shove the man's shoulder forcefully.

However, Shen Chonglu was sturdy and strong, and his shoving did not move the other party at all. Instead, the inertia caused him to lose his balance and sway.

Shen Chonglu let him push him, but stubbornly arched his body forward, even trying to press his forehead against Song Yunqi's cold knee.

He knew perfectly well that if he obediently stepped out of that door tonight, the two of them would be completely finished.

No matter what underhanded tricks he uses, he absolutely cannot go out tonight.

You should call me President Song.

Song Yunxi was finally completely enraged by his stubborn and unyielding attitude.

Tomorrow is the Lu family's absurd engagement, and he's already too busy taking care of himself to have the energy to deal with a disobedient plaything.

He took a step back, broke free from the man's touch, and pressed the intercom on the living room wall.

"Two people came up and took the crazy thing out of the guest room."

Upon hearing the word "guards," Shen Chonglu's eyelashes trembled violently.

Two minutes later, the door lock clicked, and several plainclothes bodyguards responsible for building security pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing the tense situation inside, the bodyguards exchanged glances and immediately stepped forward, one on each side, grabbing Shen Chonglu's arms and dragging him out.

Shen Chonglu did not resist.

If he really made a move, these people wouldn't be able to stop him at all, but he was afraid that if he made too big of a move, he might accidentally hurt Song Yunqi.

More importantly, Song Yunqi's gaze, as if she were protecting him from something dirty, truly pierced through his burning heart.

"You didn't need to call bodyguards..."

Shen Chonglu let himself be led away, a self-deprecating smile on his lips, his voice tinged with an indescribable embarrassment and sorrow: "As long as you talk to me properly, I will listen to you."

The man sitting on the sofa ignored him, his face as cold as a statue devoid of joy or sorrow, not even sparing him a glance.

"Bang."

The heavy security door slammed shut mercilessly before my eyes.

The motion-activated lights in the corridor outside were dim. Shen Chonglu didn't leave. Instead, he slid down the cold door panel, bent his long legs, and squatted down on the threshold with a sense of dejection.

He knew that revealing the identity of the eldest son of the Shen family at this time would only make the naturally suspicious Song Yunxi think that this was a premeditated act of commercial espionage, which would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

He had to wait until this hot-tempered, handsome older brother calmed down a bit.

Inside the bedroom, Song Yunqi lay on the large bed, staring at the ceiling with her eyes open.

So much had happened that day that it left my head spinning. After the initial anger subsided, a calmer, more business-minded approach took over.

He began to seriously consider his marriage to Lu Jinci.

Anyway, this body is destined to be a monster, and it will never be possible for it to live like a normal man.

He had initially thought that at least Shen Chonglu had some sincerity towards him, but in the end, it turned out to be nothing more than that. Since he couldn't disobey Lu Qingyuan's arrangements no matter what...

Why not marry Lu Jinci?

Although Lu Jinci is difficult and crazy, they understand each other well enough.

From a business perspective, once the engagement banquet is over tomorrow night, he will become the rightful young mistress of the Lu family, and he can use this identity to gradually seize more of the Lu family's core assets.

He was confident that he could keep the other party in check, and at least in the upcoming power struggle, he wouldn't suffer too much loss.

When faced with two benefits, choose the greater one; when faced with two harms, choose the lesser one. He is a shrewd businessman who knows how to maximize profits.

"call……"

Song Yunqi closed her eyes and suddenly felt very tired.

I still felt uncomfortable seeing Shen Chonglu with his arm around someone else.

He suddenly sat up, nervously grabbed his phone, opened a local delivery app, and quickly ordered some items from the pharmacy's interface.

Less than twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Shen Chonglu, who was squatting at the door like a stone sculpture, looked up and was immediately terrified when he saw the delivery guy carrying a yellow plastic bag with a medicine purchase sign printed on it.

Buying medicine? Where are you injured? Are you sick? You were just fine a moment ago.

Taking advantage of the moment when Song Yunqi opened the door for the delivery guy, Shen Chonglu quickly slipped into the crack in the door.

His tall stature already made him very imposing, but at this moment he deliberately restrained his aggression, like a large dog that had done something wrong, standing silently against the wall of the entrance hall.

Song Yunxi took the takeout without even lifting her eyelids.

Normally, or even half an hour ago, he would have thrown this shameless guy out.

But after sitting in the living room for a while, the overload of information from the whole day settled down in his mind, and his impulsive rage subsided by more than half, leaving only a bottomless abyss of exhaustion.

He was too lazy to argue with Shen Chonglu anymore, so he simply let him be.

Song Yunxi carried the plastic bag back to the living room, not even sparing the man following behind him a second glance. He sat down directly at the desk and impatiently tore open the yellow packaging bag from the pharmacy.

Inside the box was the latest "five-in-one" immunoassay test strip, specifically designed to detect various sexually transmitted diseases.

When Shen Chonglu saw the row of colorful test cards, his heart tightened, and a wave of heartache and confusion washed over him.

He took two steps forward and asked in a hoarse voice, "Yunqi, what... what's wrong with you? Why did you do this?"

Song Yunxi seemed not to hear his voice. He rolled up the sleeves of his black turtleneck sweater, revealing a section of his fair, almost transparent arm.

With a blank expression, he took a disposable lancet from the box, aimed it at his index finger, and without even flinching, plunged it in.

A drop of dark red blood instantly appeared.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you doing this?"

Shen Chonglu's eyes stung, and he rushed forward to try and snatch the needle from his hand.

Song Yunqi was already extremely irritable because of the possibility of "catching the disease". When she looked up and saw that the instigator dared to barge in, she elbowed him with her shoulder without any politeness.

"Get out of here."

Shen Chonglu didn't move, but just stared stubbornly at Song Yunxi.

"What else can I do? Check if I'm sick."

Song Yunxi stood in front of the table, looking down at him, her cold phoenix eyes filled with disgust and violence: "Who knows if you've been messing around outside behind my back, maybe you're carrying some dirty stuff with you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chonglu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, shocked and hurt.

A flicker of pain crossed his eyes as he stared at Song Yunxi in disbelief: "You think I'm sick?"

"I've never even held hands with a man or a woman in my entire life! I'm so clean, how could I possibly have a disease? Besides, I've only ever slept with you!"

"You don't need to explain so much to me," Song Yunxi scoffed, sharply interrupting him.

"The agreement is null and void. What are you doing in my house, Mr. Shen?"

At this moment, any explanation seemed so pale and powerless.

Song Yunqi ignored him and lowered her head to precisely drip the blood from her index finger into the five detection holes.

The two-minute wait stretched on endlessly in the deathly silent bedroom.

Finally, a single red line, representing a negative result, appeared neatly on each of the five white test strips.

Everything is normal, there are no problems.

Song Yunqi breathed a slight sigh of relief, her tense shoulders just relaxing when she looked up and saw Shen Chonglu still standing there like a Buddha, his eyes as red as a rabbit's.

"Come here." Song Yunxi beckoned.

"What?" Shen Chonglu asked in a muffled voice, his tone full of grievance.

"sit down."

Without a word, Song Yunxi shoved the tall man into a chair in front of the desk. He pulled a brand new lancet and some extra test strips from the box and sneered:

"There are still some extra test strips, don't waste them."

Seeing his obvious attempt to offer a way out, Shen Chonglu suddenly felt like laughing. He obediently stretched out his long, slender hand, letting Song Yunxi grab his fingertip and prick it with a needle.

A drop of blood was inserted, and two minutes later, the results were all negative.
