Lu Yanchen looked at her silently, his heart throbbing with pangs of pain. Even though she looked normal as ever, he knew that ever since her sister had disappeared, she would always have nightmares and wake up in fear at night—that was a deep worry of his.

He could not help but reach out and caress her cheeks. He then cupped the back of her head and engulfed her tender lips.

Those gentle lips of his had Shi Guang letting slip a moan uncontrollably.

As though a century had passed, that gentle kiss finally ended.

Shi Guang regained some strength and hugged him by the waist. The man whose lust had been suppressed with much control buried his head in her neck. “Don’t seduce me out of no reason…”

“Huh?”

“I’ve got something to go settle,” He pulled her hand away and caressed her cheeks before leaving.

Shi Guang was a little stumped. “…”

Seduce him? He was the one that hugged her!

Shi Guang followed Lu Yanchen downstairs. When they were heading downstairs, he was in front of her as she hopped onto his back and had him piggy her downstairs.

There, the two of them bumped into Yan Zi in the living room.

When she saw them, she greeted out with a warm and light smile. “Morning! You guys are heading out?”

Lu Yanchen ignored her, merely looking at her icily.

That stare had Yan Zi freeze up—his gaze was extremely cold like the deepest of winter. In his eyes, she was nothing but a lifeless dead object.

She could not help but feel her blood curdle.

Yan Zi only recovered from it after a good, long time. By then, Lu Yanchen had already left, and she could only smile at Shi Guang to try and hide that loss of self-control earlier on.

In her heart was 30% fear, 30% unrest, and 40% embarrassed rage.

“My hubby is going out, I’m not,” Shi Guang replied her casually and headed to the kitchen. When the helper caught sight of her, she smiled and greeted her morning, preparing for her breakfast.

As Shi Guang was having her breakfast, Yan Zi sat down at the dining table. She asked Shi Guang with an expression of concern and worry, “Shi Guang, are you alright? You don’t look too good.”

“I’m fine? I’m doing rather okay,” Shi Guang replied nonchalantly before raising her head to look at her. With her astute senses, she caught sight of a toying look flash by Yan Zi’s expression of concern.

“Is that so?” Yan Zi did not seem to believe her as she straightened her body and played with her hair. “When I saw Lu Yanchen earlier on, his face was cold and distant as though something big had happened. That stare of his was rather… frightening.”

Shi Guang swallowed her porridge and raised her head. “So, what did you think might have happened?”

“How would I know?” Yan Zi leaned back on her chair and replied indifferently.

“But by your expression, you seem like you know,” Suddenly, Shi Guang lost her patience to beat around the bush.

She wanted to give it a test, to verify if this Yan Zi was one of the four back then.

Yan Zi looked at Shi Guang with a complex gaze before beaming into a bright smile. “How could that be? It’s just that I’m bored alone, and I don’t have many friends here after returning. Hence, I wanted to look for you to go shopping later on.”

“You don’t have any friends here? Don’t you have any classmates here? I heard that your high school was X High in the provincial city…”
