Stopping the car beneath Shi Guang’s apartment, Huo Zhan looked at her back view and how she was silent the entire time. Thinking that she was angry because of him, he coaxed softly, “Alright, alright, don’t get angry now! It’s all my fault! Great queen, please forgive me this once, alright? I’ll definitely make it up to you properly.”

Shi Guang questioned, “Make up? How?”

Huo Zhan thought for a moment. “It’s about to be autumn soon. I’ll treat you to some supple and juicy crabs!”

Shi Guang shook her head. “Don’t want! That ‘make up’ is way too easy on you.”

“Then tell me what you want to eat. No matter what you want, it’s all fine! If a meal is not enough, make it two then! Or three! Or four! But of course, it mustn’t extend beyond a week,” Huo Zhan was really sincere.

“I don’t care about you treating me to meals. I care about you waiving my rental. How about waiving off my rental fees for these two months?” Shi Guang sniggered with a black belly.

“You smelly brat! Gosh, you’re really making an exorbitant demand!” With that said, Huo Zhan reached out with his hand and fondled Shi Guang’s head, ruffling her hair up.

“Petty miser! I knew that you weren’t sincere! But, I did you such a huge favor! Had I known, I wouldn’t have helped you. Or perhaps, I should have called auntie back in the car…”

Shi Guang said coquettishly as though she was still pissed. After fixing her messed up hair, she then jumped and ruffled his hair too.

Just as they were playing around, she suddenly caught sight of a black jeep not too far ahead.

That was Lu Yanchen’s car.

‘He’s back?’

Just as that thought went through her mind, the car door opened as a tall and well-built man stepped out.

Not expecting someone to be in the car, Shi Guang jumped on the spot. That car seemed to have been parked there for quite some time. If that were the case, hadn’t her playing around with Huo Zhan been witnessed by Lu Yanchen?

Instinctively, she froze up in her actions. The clearly sweltering day had suddenly turned into a frosty cold winter day.

Looking at Lu Yanchen walking in her direction, she had even instinctively skipped back a couple of steps, pulling some distance away from her and Huo Zhan.

As though she had just realized what she was doing, she scolded herself inwardly.

‘What’s there to be guilty about? I am acting like a wife being caught by her husband for adultery! ‘

There was no relationship between the two of them right now.

Sensing the change in Shi Guang’s behavior, Huo Zhan asked, “What’s wrong?” At the same time, he turned his gaze over and caught sight of a tall man walking towards them. Dressed in casual wear, Huo Zhan could not make out his features properly because it was against the light. However, his gaze seemed as deep as the dark night skies, shrouded by a layer of mist as he looked over at them calmly.

It was really distant; he seemed as though he was both looking at them and not.

Huo Zhan did not pay further attention.

Recovering to her senses, Shi Guang shook her head. “Nothing. It’s getting late now, so you should hurry and head back.”

“Alright, I’ll get going now! Call you tomorrow.”

“Alright!”

Getting into his car, Huo Zhan wound down the window and waved bye to Shi Guang. “Hurry and get in.”

“Bye…”

Shi Guang waved her hand in goodbye as well and only went for the lift after seeing Huo Zhan’s car drive off. Just as she was waiting for the lift, Lu Yanchen walked out from behind her. The atmosphere was a little tense.

Instinctively, she stole a glance at him and found that he was expressionless. Even when standing beside her, he took her as nothing but air, as he couldn’t even be bothered to lower his eyelids.

‘If he wants to ignore, so be it.’ Shi Guang did not want to talk to him either.

When the lift arrived, Lu Yanchen walked in right away. Not sure if it was intentional or not, as he passed by her, he brushed by her shoulders with a hard knock.

She nearly fell as she stumbled two steps forward. Entering the lift, she raised her brow. “Can’t you see a person my size?”
