Ming Shu tilted her head, her soft, sweet voice deliberately lowered: “The little liar doesn’t love you.”
Lu Shiyu’s heart sank uncontrollably. His thin lips pressed together, his jawline tightened, and he carried her toward a dark, narrow alley nearby.
How could she be like this…
Just moments ago, she said she missed him, making him as happy as a dog, and now she says she doesn’t love him—not even willing to lie about it.
Does Ming Shu even have a heart? Why isn’t she even willing to lie to him?
Pei Sen hurriedly got out of the car, muttering to himself: “It’s over, it’s over…”
Young Master Lu’s eyes were red with anger just now, and he carried the little Consort into the alley—could it be he’s planning to destroy the evidence and silence her?!
Of course, a normal person wouldn’t dare do such a thing, but this is Lu Shiyu.
Pei Sen tiptoed to the entrance of the alley, not daring to go inside. Sweat soaked through his shirt as he held his breath, leaning against the alley entrance to eavesdrop.
If Young Master Lu truly lost control, he would have to go in and stop him no matter what. Whether he could actually stop him was another matter, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch the little Consort get bloodied on the spot.
Inside the alley.
The two towering buildings on either side blocked the scorching sun outside. The light was dim but not completely dark.
Lu Shiyu leaned back against the rough, gritty wall, his arms firmly wrapped around Ming Shu’s soft waist.
Ming Shu blinked her cunning, playful fox-like eyes, leaning closer to ask fearlessly: “Are you angry?”
She smelled sweet, even her breath carrying a hint of sugary fragrance.
How could Lu Shiyu not be angry? He was absolutely furious. He turned his gaze away, unwilling to meet her eyes. The originally fierce, crimson corners of his eyes lost all their intimidation as he stubbornly and sulkily looked away.
Ming Shu reached out and cupped his face, her fair, delicate fingers boldly pinching his cheeks, completely unaware of what kind of devil she was provoking.
“Husband, don’t be angry.”
“The little liar doesn’t love you.”
“But… Ming Shu loves you.”
Lu Shiyu looked at her in stunned disbelief. There was no trace of fierceness left in his eyes. He was born unable to win against her—no matter how angry he got, she could always soothe him with just a few words.
Seeing him remain silent, Ming Shu’s heart skipped a beat.
Had she gone too far?!
She pursed her lips, knowing that no sweet words would be as effective as a kiss right now. But every time Lu Shiyu kissed her, it lasted so long and was so intense. Sigh… if she didn’t sacrifice her lips, she wouldn’t be able to tame Lu Shiyu.
Ming Shu leaned in, intending to give him a light, fleeting kiss, but someone pressed the back of her head.
She struggled briefly before obediently letting him hold her in his arms and kiss her. Her breath was stolen away, her fair face flushed pink, and she lay dizzily against Lu Shiyu’s chest.
Ming Shu—the person in question—now felt nothing but regret, deep regret. Don’t casually tease your own husband for no reason, or you might end up being kissed to death in his arms.
“Husband, don’t be angry anymore, mmm… stop kissing me. I was just joking with you. Who told you to call me a little liar? If I don’t love you, who else could I love?”
“As long as you stay obediently by my side, I won’t be angry.”
Lu Shiyu, satisfied and lazy, narrowed his phoenix eyes and leaned in to kiss her lips again. Ming Shu quickly turned her head, so he settled for kissing her soft, fair cheek instead.
He held Ming Shu’s hand and, upon noticing Pei Sen crouching at the alley entrance, gave him a cold glance before saying: “We’re just going to wander around casually. Come pick us up later.”
An extremely anxious Pei Sen: …
Little Lu, where’s that world-destroying aura of yours?
Can you put on another show?
Ming Shu and Lu Shiyu disguised themselves, wearing hats and masks, and holding hands, they blended into the crowd.
Lu Shiyu: “Did the audition go well today?”
He finally remembered to ask about the important matter.
Ming Shu smiled: “It went well. The director said I’m very suitable for the fourth female lead and was quite satisfied with me.”
Lu Shiyu didn’t ask anything more, only saying that if her feet got tired, she should tell him.
Ming Shu didn’t respond.
If she complained about being tired, Lu Shiyu would definitely carry her while walking, which would be embarrassing in public. Besides, it’s just shopping—women love shopping, so how could she possibly get tired?
An hour later, Ming Shu nestled in Lu Shiyu’s arms, feeling like she’d just contradicted herself.
She firmly refused to admit she was being delicate; it was just that her sprained foot had just healed, and now the “old injury” had flared up again.
“Where else do you want to go?” he asked.
“No, let’s go eat,” Ming Shu buried her face in Lu Shiyu’s chest, afraid of being recognized, but… it seemed like Lu Shiyu’s face was more likely to be recognized.
The mall was plastered with several giant posters of Lu Shiyu, yet he remained completely unfazed, calmly carrying Ming Shu as they strolled around. Some fans eyed Lu Shiyu suspiciously, but because he was so composed and had a woman in his arms, they didn’t dare approach to confirm.
Fans might not dare, but the paparazzi hidden in the crowd certainly did.
If he couldn’t even recognize people, what was the point of working in this industry?
His hands trembled with excitement as he held the camera.
He had captured a scandal involving Lu Shiyu, the uncrowned king of the entertainment industry—he was about to make history in the entertainment world!
Lu Shiyu paused for a moment, glancing sideways out of the corner of his eye.
Meeting Ming Shu’s questioning gaze, he took off his mask and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
Ming Shu quickly helped him put his mask back on. If he were recognized, fans and passersby would swarm them, and they’d never make it out of the mall.
“We’ll have to take off our masks to eat anyway,” he said casually.
“Let’s get a private room. We definitely can’t eat out in the open. Honey, put me down. It would be weird to carry me in like this.”
Hand in hand, the two walked into the restaurant.
The paparazzo didn’t follow them in because he had already captured the shots he wanted. Lu Shiyu was wearing a hat and mask, and the photos he took were blurry, making it hard to identify him. Just as the paparazzo was struggling to get a clear shot, he saw Lu Shiyu take off his mask—it was like heaven was helping him!
@It’s Xiaogang: [Photo][Photo][Photo] Lu Shuming went shopping with a woman, hugging and holding each other, behaving intimately!
【If you don’t use Lu’s name, you can’t get any traffic, is that it?!】
【Calm down, sis, the person in the photo really looks like Lu Shiyu… Am I about to have my idol collapse? Please, no!】
【The photos are photoshopped! Spreading rumors is illegal. Don’t think just because you’re paparazzi you can get away with it!】
【This doesn’t look photoshopped… I don’t want my idol to collapse. If even Lu Shiyu can collapse… I don’t know who else in the Chinese entertainment industry I can stan.】
【Lu Shiyu is in his late twenties, it’s about time he started dating. He never marketed himself as single or relied on fans for money—he made it on his own talent. Why is everyone talking about idol collapse? Can male stars in the Chinese entertainment industry not date or get married? What kind of logic is that?!】
【Sis upstairs, you must have just gotten internet in your village. Lu Shiyu got married three years ago! His wife is @Mingshu】
【If Lu Shiyu were single, we would only envy the woman in the picture, but he’s married! This is marital infidelity!】
#Lu Shiyu Dating a Young Woman# Trending!

#Idol Scandal# Hot!
Most of Lu Shiyu’s fans refuse to believe it, waiting for him to post an explanation on Weibo.
Bystanders are both shocked to learn Lu Shiyu is married and enjoying the drama.
【Why didn’t I know Lu Shiyu was married? I’m supposed to be the gossip princess!】
【Lu Shiyu and Ming Shu had a contractual marriage. They barely collaborated or appeared together, and I heard they’re about to divorce.】
【Their shipping fan community is called ‘Rock Sugar Couple,’ filled with nothing but divorce-themed reunion fanfics, lol.】
【I remember Rock Sugar Couple and Perfect Pair announced their marriages on the same day. Now Perfect Pair has a million shipping fans, while Rock Sugar Couple has maybe a hundred? Lu Shiyu is a globally adored heartthrob, yet only about a hundred people ship him with Ming Shu. I’m dying laughing—how bad must their relationship be?】
【Rock Sugar Couple will divorce sooner or later. Who’d be silly enough to ship them? But I do ship Perfect Pair—Zhou Yichen and Su Jin’er are genuinely sweet together!】
【Are we getting off-topic? Lu Shiyu is a very cautious person. I don’t think he’d cheat—it’s more likely he divorced Ming Shu and found true love.】
