Shi Guang shrugged her shoulders and smiled out in nonchalance, “Why should I tell you?”

Looking at how Lu Yanchen’s face had turned slightly colder, she nodded her head in acknowledgment. “Well, true. The reason why the distributor had broken the agreement causing my uncle’s grapes to be stuck and unable to be sold out… that’s completely because of you. In theory, I should definitely look for you to settle the issue. But, it was nothing big either. For things that we can settle on our own, there’s no need for me to go looking for you. And, if we really couldn’t settle it, I’d definitely look for you of course. After all, it’s all because of you.”

She said it with ease as though it was something that couldn’t have been simpler.

But, if it really were that case, she would not have skipped training for the past two days. For a moment, Lu Yanchen did not know how he should reply.

He thought for a moment before continuing, “If something similar happens in the future, you must tell me at the first notice.”

“First notice? Do you think that this is an idol drama where a Cinderella princess in distress is paired together with an overbearingly possessive guy? Where a rich and beautiful viper always comes and tries to sabotage the Cinderella? Cinderella would then cry to her man and wait for him to torture and kill that viper in all sorts of manner?”

As Shi Guang said, she could not help herself from grumbling out more.

Lu Yanchen: “…”

“Well, stop there… I’m not a Cinderella. Real life is different from idol dramas as well. For a married couple, under the circumstances where the guy’s family is more well off than the female’s side, it’s only natural for the man to help her out a little. But, the woman can’t go around looking for the man for every single small issue. Requests after requests, there’s no end to that. Even if the family of the man says nothing about it, they will inevitably look down on the woman, and with that, her family would be on the lower moral ground always.”

She did not want to always be beneath others.

Lu Yanchen’s expression changed immediately, turning a little devilish as his tone reeked of teasing as well. “You’re not officially married to me yet, and here you are already thinking about how to pander to your future in-laws.”

The streetlights outside the car seeped into it, shining onto Lu Yanchen’s creaseless shirt. He had unbuttoned his top two buttons before Shi Guang had even noticed, causing a little of his collarbones and neck to be revealed, giving off a forbidden seductive look to him.

It was ridiculously charismatic.

As Shi Guang looked over, she felt her head being rushed by a heat wave.

At times like this, it wasn’t women that were doing the seductions. This man’s charm was really deadly.

There’s only so much space in this car and there is even a woman inside, yet this bloody Lu Cold Boy has turned into Lu Hot Buns out of nowhere. What’s he doing exuding that au naturel aphrodisiac?

She coughed out slightly and tried saying with a straight face, “You completely missed the true intent behind my words. What I was trying to say was that without the help of your family, my family had been doing rather decently all these years. And even without you guys, we will continue to do better with every year to come! So, I don’t need to go looking for you for every single thing. Do you understand now?”

She had to work hard to prove that she wasn’t having any wishful thinking on her part and that she wasn’t super looking forward to them marrying.

She wanted to show that she could do with or without this marriage… just like him.

“Oh!” Lu Yanchen replied calmly before shaking his head. “Don’t understand.”

Shi Guang’s lips cramped up as she waved her little hands. “Forget it! I’m too lazy to argue with you over this because it’s meaningless and would only waste time. Let’s just be silent.”

After a moment, she added, “That’s right, what I love is the silence between the two of us.”

Lu Yanchen looked at her and suddenly smirked out just like a wily fox, “And I love how there’s someone between the two of us that’s clearly about to explode, and yet is still trying to pretend to be calm. That IS interesting indeed.”
