Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Yanchen had not contacted s.h.i.+ Guang recently. It was mostly because he was truly way too busy. Because he had just started the company, there were really way too many things for him to get busy with. Chu Mubei was asking him about every single thing, and every single bit of spare time would be used to settle things related to the marriage.
It wasn’t about the wedding, but how they were going to get married at all.
Even though he had requested his great mummy to go get the household register, he knew that the chances of her actually getting it were like 10%. He did not dare to place too much hope on that.
He had to get s.h.i.+ Guang verified into his household register on his own.
But clearly, his father had been standing in his way from the back. It had been a couple of days now, but the folks over at the verification department had been using delaying tactics against him. They did not dare to offend him, neither did they dare to offend his father.
Day in day out, he was busy with their marriage. And there she was, getting involved with men left and right.
The three of them stood there motionlessly for the longest time, looking at one another with thoughts running through their minds.
Looking at how Lu Yanchen’s gaze narrowed, exuding forth a dangerous aura akin to that of a leopard, s.h.i.+ Guang felt a sense of fl.u.s.ter instinctively. But then again, she wondered what she was being fl.u.s.tered about—she had already told him before about her and Huo Zhan being a fake couple.
She presumed that he shouldn’t be too free to go think about anything unnecessary. Grinning out, she tried her best to remain natural. “You’re… going out?”
“To eat,” Lu Yanchen replied indifferently.
“I bought some groceries. We’re preparing to cook a meal to eat at home,” She then raised her plastic bag of groceries, indicating for Huo Zhan to hurry and walk off.
“Oh, not going out then,” The moment he said that, Lu Yanchen walked in front of s.h.i.+ Guang and took the groceries in her hands away from her naturally before holding her hand and pulling her toward the lift.
He took Huo Zhan as air the entire time.
s.h.i.+ Guang’s brows furrowed, her body feeling as though an electric current had cruised through it.
What was going on here? She did not even say she was inviting him! This guy was taking it for granted…!
She turned around and smiled at Huo Zhan, hinting for him to follow.
Looking at their hands that were held together, Huo Zhan found his hand gripping into a tight ball instinctively. His heart felt like it was cramping, as an uncomfortable coldness surged through his body.
Afraid that someone might notice his strange reaction, he froze for less than a split second on the spot before following after them. Step by step, his legs felt as heavy as though they were made of lead.
He seemed to have expended every single last bit of his strength to pull himself into the lift.
No matter how stupid he was, he could differentiate what this feeling in his heart was. And even if he did not want to admit it, he had to acknowledge it—he was feeling jealous.
Now, as everyone knew, jealousy was something used between males and females while envy was nothing more than a feeling that arose from an imbalanced feeling.
In the past, he had always thought that he had just taken s.h.i.+ Guang as his younger sister. That was because from every single aspect, she wasn’t his type at all, and he too had never thought about her in that way at all.
But, the moment he found that she had gotten herself a boyfriend, he was stunned and dejected. A sense of restlessness and panic started growing within his body just like a frenzied infestation of weed.
But back then, he thought that it was nothing more than the feeling of a cabbage he had grown in his own garden being eaten away by the pig next door.
In order to have him adapt to those feelings, Huo Zhan decided to return to school earlier than planned. It was only upon returning to school that he realized … there was something wrong—it mattered to him the sort of feeling that she would have toward him.
He had always thought that love was something that was supposed to be pa.s.sionate and explosive. But actually, love could be like a slow river stream that seeped into one’s heart slowly as well.
All these years, he had been trying to look for his one true love. But in reality, she had been beside him all this while.
By the time he realized it, he saw s.h.i.+ Guang’s post on Weibo—she was getting married.
Instantly, he thought of nothing more at that moment, and before he knew it, he had returned while tugging his luggage along.
He did not know what he wanted to do. He only knew that if he didn’t return, he would regret it for life.
