Stunned for a moment, Shi Guang replied in an impolite tone right away, “I’m not! You’re overthinking things. Or, could you be hiding something from me with my cousin, and hence the reason why you’re thinking that I’ve been looking at you guys?”

Looking at her deeply, Lu Yanchen furrowed his brows. “Stupid woman, you’re even stupider than I thought you were!”

He then strode away, wanting to leave. However, things did not end like they usually did as she reached out and tugged at his hands. “What do you mean by that?”

He looked at her somewhat exasperatedly. “What ‘what do I mean’?”

Shi Guang widened her eyes and challenged. “If you’re looking down on me for being stupid, why did you marry me?”

Lu Yanchen curled his lips and replied nonchalantly. “It’s exactly because you’re stupid that I married you.”

“You…!” Shi Guang was so enraged that she could explode. Yet, the man seemed amused by everything as he asked her instead, “So, you’re THAT bothered about whether there’s something going on between your cousin and me?”

“Right, bothered. Satisfied?” Shi Guang admitted it directly.

“Why? I thought that you said you didn’t like me?” Lu Yanchen’s burning gaze was imprinting itself onto Shi Guang’s face as his mysterious eyes seemed to be penetrating through into her heart.

Shi Guang’s heart skipped a couple of beats before falling completely as though it had lost every single bit of strength it had, drowning her completely as she was rendered speechless. It took her a long while before she could gather herself. “You’re so narcissistic!”

The man’s gaze was so intense that it was about to bore a hole through her. “Your behavior right now has me feeling like you’re being jealous.”

Shi Guang was so flustered that her entire face was long blushing red as she stammered, “J-J-J-J-Jealous your head! I’m just worried that you’ll hurt Mo Jin! A-Anyway! Just stay away from my cousin!”

With that said, she flung Lu Yanchen’s arm away and dashed off as though it was for her life. Behind her, Lu Yanchen’s gaze followed her with a mysterious depth. “…”

…

The next day, Lu Yanchen left his home really early, preparing to fetch Shen Lingshuang over to head over to grandma’s place together. When he reached, he found out that Shen Lingshuang wasn’t prepared in the slightest bit, wearing her home clothes. Seeing that, Lu Yanchen furrowed his brows. “Mum, it’s getting late now.”

While sighing, Shen Lingshuang swallowed and put her cup down before standing up slowly. However, she hadn’t even stood up fully when she sat down again, all wobbly.

Lu Yanchen rushed up and asked her concernedly right away, “What’s wrong with you, mum?”

“After waking up this morning, I felt somewhat uncomfortable all over. Until now, I’m still feeling giddy…” As Shen Lingshuang said that, she supported her forehead weakly, looking all pale.

Lu Yanchen picked up the cup, wanting to feed his mother some water. Noticing that the water was already completely gone, he took the cup to go pour her some again.

Looking at her son’s back view, Shen Lingshuang’s brows relaxed somewhat, looking totally unlike that terrible state she was in moments earlier. However, when she noticed her son returning from refilling her cup, she put on that frail demeanor once again.

After she drank some water, Lu Yanchen asked, “Are you feeing better?”

Shen Lingshuang shook her head. “No, I still feel really bad.”

Lu Yanchen thought for a moment. “Alright then, I’ll give them a call and change for another date. I’ll send you to the hospital now.”

Shen Lingshuang waved her hands. “It’s fine, it’s fine! Don’t hurry with making the call as well. Who knows, I might get better after resting for a little.”

Lu Yanchen looked at Shen Lingshuang, somehow feeling that her eyes were telling another story. Pausing for a moment, he agreed to it. “Alright, we’ll wait for you to rest a little first. But to be safe, I still think we had better call a doctor come take a look.”

“N-Nonono…” Shen Lingshuang rejected that suggestion right away, still feeling somewhat guilty. She knew that her son didn’t like her meddling in his affairs, and that she shouldn’t do so either, but she just couldn’t keep herself sitting by idly…
