Looking at the ring, Shi Guang was lost in a stupor for a moment as she slowly slipped it onto her finger. Gripping her fist tightly, that thought didn’t seem that hard either.

While smiling, she picked up her phone and called Lu Yanchen… The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up at all.

Strange, why was he not picking up his phone? Could it be that it was inconvenient because he was driving?

Shi Guang dropped him a text.

Thinking about how he was driving and might not be able to reply her immediately, Shi Guang was prepared to take her phone out. But when she thought about the Qiao mother and daughter outside, she decided to give him a precautionary jab first.

The texts seemed to have been dropped into the ocean as there was no reply for a long time… Shi Guang furrowed her brows.

After thinking for a while, she decided to make another call over. But to her surprise, she received the tone of a phone that was turned off on the other end.

What’s going on?

It wasn’t that Lu Yanchen didn’t want to reply the texts, but the moment his phone rang, Shen Lingshuang had snatched it away from him and clutched it tightly in her bosoms.

Lu Yanchen reached out. “Mum, stop messing around. Return me the phone.”

“No…!” Shen Lingshuang was throwing a small little tantrum and had even turned off the phone.

“Mother,” Lu Yanchen was getting a little angry now as his gaze toward his mother was frosty cold, exuding forth a sharpness.

Shen Lingshuang was in fact rather afraid of her son getting angry as she felt a chill run down her spine. However, she did not think that she was in the wrong.

As his mother, wasn’t it only normal for her to dislike a woman that would hurt her son? On what grounds was he getting angry at her for?

That thought only served to have her feeling more miserable as she commented pitifully, “Why? You don’t want your mummy just because you have a wife now? All I’m doing is to stop you from taking a phone call, and there you are getting so fierce! I’m going to tell your father that you’re bullying me when he’s not around, and have him whip you with his belt when he’s back.”

Lu Yanchen: “…”

Looking at his mum who was sobbing out as though she was gravely wronged, Lu Yanchen really did not know how he should continue talking to this naïve and kind mother of his.

“Alright, rest well then. We’ll change the discussion to another day. I’ll talk to you again after you calm down.”

With that said, Lu Yanchen turned around wanting to leave. Immediately, Shen Lingshuang grabbed at her son’s arms. “Where are you going?”

Her eyes were brimming with tears that were about to spill out at any moment.

Lu Yanchen replied coldly, “You’re feeling unwell and the families are unable to meet, so we’ll change that to another day then. Since we can’t keep them waiting, I naturally have to head over to explain things.”

The thought of sabotaging their wedding had truly not crossed Shen Lingshuang’s mind—she merely did not feel like going right now. Instinctively, she reached out and tugged at her son while clutching her chest with her other hand. “Terrible! I’m feeling so terrible I could die!”

A single look was enough to tell that this horrendous acting was as fake as it could get.

Lu Yanchen: “…”

…

Time passed by the second and minutes. Be it calls or texts, none of them were responded to.

Shi Guang waited for a long time. It was about to be 12 noon soon and yet there were still no signs of Lu Yanchen arriving.

Because the call could not connect, she did not even know if the Lus might have gotten into some sort of an accident. She even considered giving Chu Mubei a call to check things out.

But at that, she felt that she might have been overthinking things. Perhaps they were just delayed by something…

A little while more, it’s still early…
