It was only after he confirmed that she was in Su Qianxun’s car earlier on and had seen her getting off safe and sound that he finally felt alive once more.
Only, what was she doing together with Su Qianxun?
And from what happened in the carpark earlier on, Su Qianxun did not seem to know of her ident.i.ty. That was also the reason why he did not have Su Qianxun open her car door, and chose to turn around and leave instead.
Now that she was all alone, he wanted so badly to just stop his car right there and run over, hugging her tightly. But, when he thought about how she said she needed some time to herself the other day, he restrained himself and merely watched her, satisfied to know that she was fine.
When he had decided to marry her, he had already promised himself that no matter what happened, she would be the only one in his life and no one else.
But, that silly girl couldn’t really be thinking about walking around Dujuan City and asking all the vendors here individually whether they had seen her sister, right?
Thankfully, it was quite a cold day with enough sun to just make her feel comfortable. He’d just take it that she was having a walk then.
Naturally, s.h.i.+ Guang’s day spent at Dujuan City reaped no returns. However, she was not discouraged. After all, she had already prepared herself that she wouldn’t be able to find her sister that easily in this sea of people.
She merely believed that if her sister were in this city, she would definitely find her eventually.
At night time, s.h.i.+ Guang returned to the hotel and met Qian Xun for dinner arranged as a form of grat.i.tude. They had their meal at a j.a.panese restaurant near the hotel.
Qian Xun ordered for a bottle of sake and poured s.h.i.+ Guang a cup. “Have a drink with me!”
Thinking about her low alcohol tolerance, s.h.i.+ Guang furrowed her brows and rejected her. “I don’t think I should… I’m not really good with alcohol.”
Qian Xun pushed the cup of sake in front of s.h.i.+ Guang insistently. “The alcohol level in this is really low and it’s sweet, just like a casual soft drink. You’ll be fine with a little!”
With that, she knocked her cup of sake against s.h.i.+ Guang’s cup.
Clink!
The clean, knocking sound of the cups rang out as Qian Xun downed her cup as though it was water, without any change of expression at all.
s.h.i.+ Guang picked her cup up and placed it before her mouth, making sure to smell it first—there was a refres.h.i.+ng scent of fruits, green apple to be exact.
Taking a sip, she could taste how smooth the sake was, with a low alcohol scent and a sweet aftertaste. Indeed, without the taste of alcohol that she hated, drinking it was truly just like a soft drink.
Since this was rather decent, she decided that it was alright to drink with Qian Xun for a little.
She seemed to have forgotten how she had gotten drunk the previous time under the same impression given how sweet her red wine mixed with sprite was.
But of course, she had self-control, and merely made sure to take sips at a time.
During the meal, she went to the washroom. When she returned, she was met with a figure b.u.mbling toward her. Unable to dodge away, both of them slammed into one another, both stumbling back a couple of steps before they found their balance.
The other party found her balance by supporting the wall. Not only did she not apologize, she even barked out impatiently, “Don’t you have eyes! Do you even know how to walk?”
s.h.i.+ Guang raised her brows and looked over. When she made out the features of the other party, she was stumped—it was the same woman who was chatting with Lu Yanchen in the carpark earlier today!
Looking at how stunned s.h.i.+ Guang was, and coupled with the fact that she smelt of alcohol, the woman merely glared at her before going on her way after uttering something.
s.h.i.+ Guang watched her back-view leave.
Who was she? Why was she with Lu Yanchen in the morning?
Was she here together with him for a meal as well?
