Shi Guang looked at how Lu Yanchen was staring at her with that cold and fierce stare–yet, it wasn’t the usual coldness. It was akin to a strict parent that was displeased at her performance post a test.

He had already been giving that black face since he handed her the invitation. Clearly, he did not want her to come.

But in the end, she still came! He wouldn’t throw her out in a moment of anger, would he?

Looking at him advancing toward her, Shi Guang got a little flustered, thinking whether she should escape before he reached her.

But right at that moment, a tender male voice drifted out. “Sister!”

Following that, Xiao Bai, who was dressed in a mini suit, came sprinting toward her before leaping into her embrace. Feeling as though she had just seen her savior, Shi Guang smiled out. “Happy birthday, Xiao Bai!”

…

Lu Yanchen stopped in his tracks, the emotions in his gaze indecipherable. A tall man came beside him and patted him on the shoulder. Turning around, he called out. “Big brother!”

“Father is waiting for you in the resting room upstairs.”

Lu Yanchen turned his head around to look at Shi Guang–Xiao Bai was acting cute to her right now—before nodding his head and walking away. Right before he walked off, he left a single sentence for Lu Yanzhi, “Look for her.”

At the start, Lu Yanzhi did not understand and muttered to himself weirdly. “What? Look for…? Look for whom!”

He then thought about the ‘sister’ that his son had been going on about day and night that Little Uncle was courting. Naturally, he thought nothing of it. To him, he always felt that that cold and arrogant brother of his was someone who would never ever learn to cherish the fairer sex.

He had even determined that the reason why his brother was dumped by his ex-girlfriend was that his temper was way too nasty.

But, seemed like everything was real right now. When he said ‘look for her’, he must have meant to ‘look out for her’.

What a difficult man!

…

Xiao Bai cast his entire body into Shi Guang’s embrace and acted like a totally spoilt child. Shi Guang gave him a honeyed smile. “Wow, why are you even wearing glasses today?”

“Daddy said that doing this means that I’m no longer a playful child!” Xiao Bai used his hand to prop up the glasses on his handsome little face. “Sister, you’re really pretty today!”

“You’re really handsome today too!” Shi Guang helped him to straighten his little bowtie before taking out her gift from behind her. “This is for you… Don’t look down on it, alright?”

Initially, Shi Guang had wanted to buy a race car model, but the price had her shocked. It was way too expensive.

She truly did not have that much to spend.

Eventually, she could only go for the most basic model of a remote-control plane.

“Miss Shi, it’s good enough that you’re here. Why did you still go out of your way to get a gift?” Out of nowhere, Shen Lingshuang had walked over and sat down beside her.

When she caught sight of Shen Lingshuang, Shi Guang passed her the gift she got for her as well. “Happy birthday, auntie!”

“I’ve got one too?” Shen Lingshuang received it in surprise before smiling out, “You’re really thoughtful! It’s really fine for you to just come without any gifts! Thank you! Really, thank you!”

She held Shi Guang’s hands with a face full of joy. However, she didn’t manage to say much more before she was called away by someone else–she was truly someone busy. Shen Lingshuang apologized, “It’ll be a little while more before the party starts. Help me to take care of Xiao Bai, Shi Guang. I’ll go over there to greet them for a bit.”

“Alright!”

The moment Shen Lingshuang left, another person came over and was prepared to sit down. Shi Guang lifted her head and saw that it was a man.

He had an upright body with robust features and a bronze complexion. Wearing a set of military uniform coupled with army boots, he stood straight as a tree while he exuded forth an aura that was just and impenetrable–this was the exemplary display of a hardened military man’s disposition!

He was looking at her with a careful and stern gaze that could cause shivers to run down one’s spine.
