Chu Mubei walked over with a confused expression on his handsome face. “Little Sister s.h.i.+ Guang! To think that you would actually be proposing marriage to our Old Lu! What’s going on here?”
The relations.h.i.+p between the two of them was practically impossible to unravel!
s.h.i.+ Guang would have never imagined that things would have happened as such. No wonder Lu Yanchen would stand at the doorway right after opening his door! She felt as though her entire face had been thrown into the Pacific ocean right now.
She was so awkward that she could literally die from it as she wanted to bury herself deep into a hole.
Turning her flushed face away embarra.s.sedly, she spoke with a quivering voice, “Sorry, I’ve disturbed you.”
Lu Yanchen did not stop her, shutting the door to separate them from those watching the show. “I’ll send you back.”
s.h.i.+ Guang wanted to reject initially. But when she thought about how she was not done yet—she had more things she wanted to discuss with Lu Yanchen—she nodded her head.
However, the two of them remained silent the entire way without conversing at all. Even at the entrance of the villa, none of them spoke.
A strange tension was coiling around both of them.
s.h.i.+ Guang felt that keeping things like this was not a solution either—there were things that had to be resolved no matter how hard they were.
Just as she was contemplating about how she should start, the man was a step ahead of her.
“What sort of a wedding do you want?” Under the dim moonlight, this man who was wearing the simplest outfit of all—a white t-s.h.i.+rt—looked so handsome that one could hardly peel their eyes away from him.
“I’m fine with anything.”
s.h.i.+ Guang had no expectations or excitement toward the marriage between the two of them—it was a decision made with no other choice left.
Lu Yanchen’s ink-dark eyes started squinting; clearly, he was a little displeased now. The harmonious silence between the both of them had disappeared without a trace just like that.
A little rattled from how sharp his gaze at her was, s.h.i.+ Guang could not help but shrink her neck unconsciously.
He was displeased with her att.i.tude. But toward a marriage as such, what sort of an att.i.tude could she have?
Furthermore, the way that she was looking at him was even more casual than the way he was.
She forced out a dry chuckle, “Your family will agree to us getting married? Before I discuss with you about the marriage, do you want to settle your family’s side first? From what I know, it’s definitely not so easy to get into your family’s registry 1 . If you can’t manage to get me in, even just getting a certificate of marriage will do!”
Lu Yanchen pursed his lips and looked at her coldly and firmly.
s.h.i.+ Guang laughed out awkwardly, “Fufu~~”
“Just say what you want to,” He turned his head to the side coldly. “And if there’s nothing else, I’m leaving now.”
“Erm…” s.h.i.+ Guang looked at his slightly frosty look, hesitating about how she should speak up.
At this point, Lu Yanchen’s patience seemed to have been ground down as he replied, seemingly irritated, “Just say what you want to. Don’t hem and hum. It’s not like I’m going to eat you up.”
He’s not going to eat me up? Yeah, right! Men are all creatures that think with the bottom halves of their bodies!
s.h.i.+ Guang retorted in her heart before coughing out gently, trying her best to be natural about it. “Even though I’ve agreed to get married, there’re a few things that I want you to understand.”
“Speak,” He replied curtly.
“Yang Sitong is your fiancée after all, whether or not you want to admit to it. It’s also true that she’s been sticking onto you with her entire life. If I were to marry you, that means that I’ll be spoiling her plans, and she’ll definitely try to seek revenge on me. I hope that you can promise never to let her cause trouble for my family or me.”
“Ok!” He agreed to it readily.
“Also… even though I’m married to you, I’m a person—alive and kicking. So, you can’t interfere in the ways I want to chase after my dreams and aspirations, neither can you interfere in my personal freedom and rights of making friends.”
