Sitting in his car, Lu Yanchen’s gaze was deep as he stared at the two people outside chatting cheerily. His entire face was shrouded behind a hazy chilliness—it was as though his handsome countenance was forged out of ice, and a single touch could freeze someone over entirely.

Yet, the strange thing was that in those eyes of his sparked a fiery, raging blaze.

He gripped his steering wheel with all his might, strongly resisting his inner urge of wanting to burst out of the car as he stiffened his body. He just stared till she entered the building and that man’s car drove off, till there was nothing left.

The surroundings went back to their usual peacefulness. In reality, everything had always been peaceful save for that man’s engine.

Lu Yanchen shut his eyes as a sense of sadness which he didn’t even know about filled his glabella. It was only when he heard his phone ringing that Lu Yanchen opened his eyes. Glancing at the screen, he swiped to pick up the call.

Before he had even said anything, the gentle and tender voice of Shen Lingshuang drifted out. “Yanchen, have you given Miss Shi the invitation yet?”

Since they had already invited her, they naturally had to give her the invitation card.

Shen Lingshuang had already called him in the morning, reminding him to do so, firstly because he would meet her in the afternoon, and it couldn’t be any more convenient for him to pass it to her.

But her second reason? She wanted to test her son and understand his thoughts toward this Coach Shi Guang.

She did not know if her son was hiding it too well or that he really had nothing going on with this Coach Shi Guang. However, that only fuelled her persistence to test him out.

The feeling that he was giving her was as if they were nothing but a coach and student. However, from what she had heard from Xiao Bai… that didn’t seem to be the case. In any case, she herself was getting all confused about their status.

Lu Yanchen peered at the invitation card that rested on his dashboard before replying indifferently, “Gave…”

Initially, he had not intended to give it to her, as she needed no invitation, and he could just bring her in directly. But now…

…

Shi Guang returned to her apartment and was just about to take a shower when the doorbell rang. Half dressed, she wore back her clothes hurriedly before opening the door. Unexpectedly, Lu Yanchen stood outside with a dark expression on his face. She asked gently, “Is there anything?”

She had promised him that she was going to make him braised meat and steamed fish today. And for Xiao Bai, she had not gone up to feed Little Goody yet either. She had really spent too much time playing out with Huo Zhan and Li Fangfei.

She smiled out. “You want to ask me to head over and feed Little Goody?”

It was already late now, so he must have already eaten, right? There should be no way he would be asking her to cook now. Therefore, there should be nothing else other than feeding Little Goody.

“Wait for a moment, I’l…”

Before she finished speaking, Lu Yanchen raised an object up from his hand, holding it in mid-air and waiting for her to take.

Stunned momentarily, Shi Guang reached out instinctively. It was only after taking it over that she realized it was an invitation—the invitation for Shen Lingshuang and Xiao Bai’s birthday party.

Only, why was his expression so terrible while handing her an invitation? Based on her understanding of him, he must be fuming right now.

But, why?

Was it because she had promised to make braised meat and steamed fish today, and had failed her promise? Even if she didn’t do it today, she could always do it tomorrow!

Or, was it because he didn’t want her to attend Shen Lingshuang and Xiao Bai’s birthday party?

“Yesterday… Xiao Bai made a call for me to attend. Actually, I’m not really fre…” She had not really wanted to attend in the first place. If Lu Yanchen didn’t want her to do so, she could just say that she wasn’t free.

Lu Yanchen knitted his brows slightly as his throat bobbed—it was as though there was an uncontrollably rising rage that was being repressed by him at this moment.

Without waiting for her to complete her sentence, he turned and walked away.
