Chapter 179: Vinegar Is Truly Sour

“Two.”
“WHY…!” She loved him that much! Why couldn’t he reciprocate with even a fraction of his heart as well? Why wouldn’t he cast a single look at him, rejecting even her naked body?
“One!”
Looking at how Lu Yanchen was serious about making a move on her, Yang Sitong cried out. “I’ll leave! I’ll leave now…!”
Eventually, she did not want to cause things to reach a point where it was irrevocable.
Her leaving now did not mean that she was going to leave forever. She was going to wait outside—to see who the cheap, shameless sl*t who was trying to s.n.a.t.c.h a man from her—Yang Sitong—was!
…
Even though s.h.i.+ Guang had not witnessed everything that had happened outside, she could guess it all.
Lu Yanchen had mentioned for her to get dressed. So, Yang Sitong’s intentions of appearing tonight were to perform a strip show to seduce him? To think that Yang Sitong would even drag her into the picture… Even if she were at his house, what could that prove?
‘This was really some f*cked up sh*t! To think that I could be dragged into the gunfire even when I was out of the range!’
She really felt both angry and amused at the same time.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, she presumed that Yang Sitong should have left. Scooping the noodles into the bowl, she brought them out.
Indeed, Yang Sitong had already left and Lu Yanchen was seated on the sofa with a dark face. His expression was cold, looking peaceful like the surface of a calm ocean; yet there could be turbulent waves bursting on it at any moment.
When he saw her bring out the noodles, he stood up and walked toward the dining table in huge strides.
“I’m sorry! I must have come at a bad time and messed up your wonderful encounter. I’ll go back now and you can get her back with a phone call,” s.h.i.+ Guang could not help but remark out. In her tone, there was a hint of sourness that even she herself had not detected.
Lu Yanchen looked at her before looking at the noodles expressionlessly. “You’ve added vinegar?”
s.h.i.+ Guang lowered her gaze and looked at the noodles as well before shaking her head. “No?”
“Then, why do I smell that sour scent?” [1. In Mandarin, the word for being jealous translates directly to ‘eating vinegar’. That’s why when someone is jealous, they will ask if that person has been eating vinegar, or why their face looks sour or the air around them et cetera.]
All of a sudden, Lu Yanchen could feel his mood turning sweeter once more. Seemed like getting bothered by Yang Sitong every now and then wasn’t that bad of a thing after all.
“Sour scent? Is there?” As s.h.i.+ Guang said that, she leaned in for a sniff, thinking that the noodles had gone bad. But suddenly, she discovered a teasing look in Lu Yanchen’s gaze.
She finally understood what he meant—he was saying that she was jealous because of Yang Sitong!
Speechless, she could not help but glare at him. “I’ve never seen anyone as narcissistic as you.”
Lu Yanchen did not reply, merely burying his head down to eat the noodles. After taking a single mouthful, he commented once more, “It’s really a little sour. Have a try if you don’t believe.”
He pa.s.sed the chopsticks over.
s.h.i.+ Guang replied in disdain, “Who wants anything you’ve eaten?”
Lu Yanchen replied indifferently, “You’re speaking as though you’ve never ever done it before.”
s.h.i.+ Guang nearly choked with that reply. Indeed, she had done so before. She would always share the same portion as him in the past.
Anyway, she did not want to linger any longer as she turned around, wanting to leave. However, Lu Yanchen’s voice drifted out slowly behind her.
“If I’m not wrong, she must still be outside.”
That ‘she’ was naturally referring to Yang Sitong.
s.h.i.+ Guang wasn’t afraid of Yang Sitong—she just didn’t want any trouble. Hence, she came to a stop in her tracks.
“Make me some soy braised meat and steamed fish tomorrow,” After taking yet another mouthful and drinking a little soup, Lu Yanchen wiped his mouth while saying.
s.h.i.+ Guang was stunned.
Making noodles for him today was already an exception! To think that he would still demand for her to cook tomorrow! Did he still think that she was his girlfriend just like the past where she would cook for him because she could not bear to see him eat takeaways?
“I’m not your nanny!” She rejected him without thinking twice.
