Huo Zhan’s hands and feet were cold right now as he looked at Shi Guang, asking gently, “You and him… Are you really sure about it?”

That sudden question had Shi Guang feeling even more guilty. Thinking that he might have found out about something, she replied blankly, “Yes.”

Huo Zhan shook his head. “No… You guys are not compatible, Shi Guang.”

Shi Guang, “…”

It was only now that she realized that there was something off with Huo Zhan—these didn’t sound like words he would usually say. She bit down on her lips awkwardly. “Why would you say that all of a sudden…”

“The Lu Family… You should know them better than I do. How could a family like that allow you to marry inside them? A family of that level is more concerned about whether you are an equal match in terms of power and status!”

Huo Zhan did not know why he would suddenly say something like that, but he just could not contain the jealousy that he was feeling in his heart. He could not help but want to have Shi Guang see the sides of the Lu Family that were the hardest to accept.

Shi Guang looked at Huo Zhan in disbelief. Even if she was incompatible with Lu Yanchen, those words shouldn’t have been told to her by her best friend.

Wasn’t that clearly telling her about how lousy she was? That had Shi Guang thinking about how she was dumped two years ago—so, that was only natural and bound to happen?

“Being in a relationship is one thing, but getting married is another. Yes, maybe you guys are getting along really well right now, but what about after getting married…? If you were to fall out with his family or suffer any bit of grievances because of it, a rich and affluent young master such as him who is used to living the high life would definitely regret getting married to you, and might even hate you with time!”

Huo Zhan described the worst side of a marriage one would want to see.

Shi Guang frowned. If she were getting married to Lu Yanchen because of love, she might have considered about that stuff. But right now, the reason why they were getting married was because Lu Yanchen wanted to get out of his marriage agreement, and she needed to have her grandma be at ease. Therefore, she did not have to care about how to handle all of those things after marriage.

If they couldn’t tide through it, divorce then…

But, even if that were the case, she was still rather unhappy hearing Huo Zhan speak of those things. Even if he were coming across from the goodwill of his heart, it still hurt her.

“Perhaps you may be right, but you’re my best friend. Shouldn’t you be scolding out at the fact that he’s not worthy of me instead? Am I that bad?”

Huo Zhan flustered for a moment before explaining hurriedly, “That’s not what I meant, you’re not bad. You’re really good, and he isn’t worthy of you! My point of saying those things is to let you know that you guys are not compatible. And you’re young as well… Have you really considered marriage through?”

Shi Guang patted him on the shoulders. “Alright, you don’t have to worry about me. You should just settle your own matters first. It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me about it, but you must voice out should the day come when you need me.”

Huo Zhan was lost. “…”

After a moment, he gathered his courage and was about to confess when Shi Guang spoke before him, “Sh*t, sh*t! I’m going to be late. I’m making a move first.”

Shi Guang wasn’t really rushing for time.

It was just that she thought Huo Zhan did not want to voice out his issues after going silent for such a long time, and she did not want him to feel awkward. Hence, she pretended to be the one who needed to go.

In life, some of the most beautiful things happened because one missed out on them, and thus, they were precious and beautiful in one’s memories.

Shi Guang did not have many friends, and she was truly concerned about Huo Zhan. She felt that if he did not tell her, he would tell Li Fangfei at least.

When she knew that Huo Zhan had already informed Li Fangfei of him returning to the country, she spoke to her, “Ah Zhan looks somewhat off and haggard. I don’t know what happened, but it seems to be serious. Do you want to have a good chat with him?”

Li Fangfei was stunned as she nodded her head. “Alright.”
