Made to leave halfway through making the meal, Shi Guang looked at Lu Yanchen and said rather embarrassedly, “Sorry, my homie just got home today and is feeling a little tired.”

“Homie? Do you know how you should use that word, homie?” Lu Yanchen’s sudden question had Shi Guang feeling a little stunned.

Shouldn’t he be concerned about not being able to have his meal? Why did it jump onto the word homie instead? Where was his focus?

“Of course, I know! Homie refers to someone I’ve grown up with together, and whom I always hang out with even after we’re grown up.”

Lu Yanchen gave her a deep contemplative gaze without saying anything more. He merely scoffed coldly before walking away.

Shi Guang felt that this man was just really weird, and wanted to head back school right away. However, Lu Yanchen held his car door open below and had her enter.

She waved her hands away. “It’s fine! I’ll just get a ride back to school myself.”

“Get in!” Lu Yanchen ordered coldly, so demanding that no one could have rejected him. Shi Guang had no other choice but to enter. She really felt that the way she had to get along with Lu Yanchen now was way different from before.

In the past, life was so comfortable for her, without having to care about whether he would be unhappy or not. But now, his temper was all weird and odd. There were all sorts of pressures associated with getting along with him, not knowing when she might trigger him or something.

After entering, she heaved out a deep, heavy breath as he walked over to the driver’s seat.

She had initially thought that Lu Yanchen was going to send her back to school. But suddenly Shi Guang realized that there was something wrong with the route he was taking.

“Where are you heading to?”

“Eat,” Lu Yanchen glanced at her as though she was asking the obvious.

“I don’t eat at night. I’m on a diet,” Shi Guang tried her best to get out of having to be with this angry Lu Yanchen. But who knew that this guy just didn’t play by the rules. “Watch me eat then.”

Shi Guang, “…”

That expression? That tone? There was no one who would believe that he wasn’t angry.

Hmph! He could not be suspecting that there was something going on between her and Huo Zhan, right? Fufufufu! She and Huo Zhan’s relationship was a bona fide true blue friendship! What was this man thinking about?

She was extremely displeased, rolling her eyes at him unhappily for his improper thoughts. However, Lu Yanchen had captured that look of hers.

A single look was enough to know what she was trying to express.

Friends? That’s what SHE thought. From the first time he saw them together, he could tell from the way that man looked at her that it was far from being mere friends.

Who knows, the reason why he wanted her to be his fake girlfriend was so that he could just go along and try and make it real instead.

It’s only this stupid woman who would be foolish enough to think that that man treats her as a mere friend.

…

The car stopped at a shop located in a slightly deserted part of the city.

Shi Guang had realized one thing about Lu Yanchen. Even though he would go to those posh and classy places for meals outside, most of the time, he would prefer going to those little shops, that despite being famous, were located at places deeper in the alleys and whatnot. These places would always be clean, elegant, and bring with them a unique feeling in their design. And of course, the food would always be delicious as well.

This shop was no different, looking normal on the outside, but elegantly designed.

Shi Guang followed him into a suite. The door was not closed as a voice drifted out from within. “Honestly, what’s taking Old Lu so long. Is he even coming or not? Let me give him a call.”

That voice was Chu Mubei.

Another voice drifted out classily, “What’s there to call? If you’re hungry, we’ll have a drink or two.”

“Making me drink on an empty stomach? You really just can’t see me staying alive, eh…?” Chu Mubei scoffed. Of course, there was no way he would drink like that as he took out a cigarette to smoke instead.

The moment it lit up, the door of the suite was opened.

When he saw who was here with Lu Yanchen, he called out in surprise, “Woah, Little Sister Shi Guang…!”
