Swirling the wine in his glass, Lu Yanchen remarked indifferently, “There are loopholes in the charges against Qiao Yuwei. Even if you really want to report her, they will most likely just detain her for at most half a month.”

Shi Guang was surprised. “But, she caused my sister to go missing! How could that just be worth half a month?”

Lu Yanchen looked at her calmly. Those eyes were dark and mysterious, such that one could not tell of the emotions contained within or read his thoughts at all.

“But right now, no one knows if your sister is dead or alive. As for her, she merely signed the transfer papers. In terms of the law, that alone does not constitute for it to be a crime.”

Shi Guang respected her little auntie a lot. The outcome of things would eventually end with her giving in.

He hoped that by saying that, he would be able to assuage some of the pain in her heart.

Shi Guang bit down on her lips and said nothing for some time. But suddenly, her phone rang out—t was a text from Li Fangfei with a crying emoticon.

Shi Guang replied immediately.

<What happened?>

<Shi Guang, are you free? Could you accompany me to drink? I really feel so terrible right now.>

Just as Shi Guang was about to ask what happened again, another text came.

<I’m out of love.>

Instantly, Shi Guang thought about Huo Zhan getting married and how she had never ever heard Li Fangfei mention anything about liking anyone. In her circle of friends, the only guy was Huo Zhan as well.

Could it truly be as she had thought, that the one she liked was Huo Zhan?

Shi Guang really wanted to keep Li Fangfei company, but she could only walk three days later.

<I fell down by accident and my leg’s injured, so I can’t head out. How about coming over to my place? Young Master Lu has a huge rack with all sorts of wine. You can take anything you wanna drink.>

After quite some time, a reply came.

<Could you ask your Young Master Lu to stay elsewhere tonight?>

T-This…!

Shi Guang raised her head and looked over at Lu Yanchen who was working on his laptop at the bar table while sipping his wine.

Her sister had gone missing and she was troubled over the issue with Qiao Yuwei. Now, there was a heartbroken Li Fangfei to deal with. The only way to describe her days recently was just miserable.

Fine, she might as well spend the night with Li Fangfei to drink to their heart’s content while crying it all out.

<Alright, come over. I’ll ask Young Master Lu to stay elsewhere.>

After replying that, she merely stared at Lu Yanchen at the bar table with such intensity that it was as though her emotions could seep out.

To be stared so brazenly at by someone, how could Lu Yanchen not tell at all? He wanted to pretend as though he saw nothing, but somehow, nothing on his computer screen could enter his mind at all.

He looked back at Shi Guang with a deeply charming gaze. “If you continue looking like that, I’m not going to care about whether you’re injured or not.”

Shi Guang coughed gently before smiling out sheepishly, “Erm… can I discuss something with you?”

“What?” Young Master Lu was a direct man.

“Erm… my classmate wants to come visit me later. Well, Fangfei… That one who’s really close to me. We lived in the same dorm, and she has always been taking care of me. You’ve seen her before. She wants to come over tonight…?” Shi Guang’s voice got softer as she carried on.

Lu Yanchen looked at her silently. “…”

Even though she felt that he would not agree to it, she still sniggered, “But, she’s somewhat shy. Also, it’s not convenient with you around so… do you want to head home and visit mummy and Xiao Bai tonight?”

Piak!

Lu Yanchen closed his laptop screen as his jaw was tightened so tensely that there was a sharp curvature showing.

Shi Guang suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. “…”
