“Shi Guang, let me know when your grandma will be free. I would like to pay her a visit and discuss about your and Yanchen’s marriage.” During the meal, Shen Lingshuang found an opportunity to ask Shi Guang.
“Erm… I’ll go ask my grandma about it,” Shi Guang stammered for a little. How would she agree to let her marry Lu Yanchen that easily? This was something that was still too strange for Shi Guang.
“Sure, no hurries! We can wait till after your swimming competition as well.”
Toward Shi Guang, Shen Lingshuang bore a true and sincere fancy. Using her chopsticks, she placed a piece of red braised ribs onto the former’s bowl. “Shi Guang, you must come visit me more often in the future and go shopping with me!”
For a woman that her son would refuse to marry with his life, she knew that there must be some reason behind it; therefore, she agreed with his decision. Likewise, for a woman whom her son could want to bring home personally, there must definitely be good things about her.
And indeed, this was an obedient and well-behaved girl.
If there had to be a complaint, it would probably be that she was too young and rather opinionated.
Shen Lingshuang garnered that she would have a difficult time persuading them to have kids early on.
But thankfully, she already had Xiao Bai, and hence, she was could wait a couple more years.
After the meal, Lu Yanchen brought Xiao Bai out. Meanwhile, Shen Lingshuang tugged at Shi Guang and brought her to Lu Yanchen’s bedroom. She took out Lu Yanchen’s old pictures and started flipping them around while chatting with Shi Guang about when he was young.
After going through two photo albums, she tried looking for Lu Yanchen’s album of him in the army; however, she just could not find it.
“It should be in his father’s study. Give me a moment, I’ll go take a look…”
With that said, she left Shi Guang alone in his room.
Shi Guang smiled out helplessly. After sitting there quietly for a while, she started tidying the mess that Shen Lingshuang had just created.
Suddenly, she caught sight of a box at a corner of the drawer.
She felt her heart tighten for a moment. If she hadn’t recalled wrongly, she seemed to have a box like that in the past as well that was discarded at a corner of a drawer just like this, untouched for the longest time.
It was as though it was a secret that was not to be discovered.
Could Lu Yanchen have had a secret that mustn’t be discovered as well? Shi Guang scoffed out to herself—even if there was, it had nothing to do with her.
She wanted to close the drawer. However, for some reason, she just could not do so, and had even picked up the box.
There was a familiar yet foreign looking ring within, a crystal ring that looked extremely ordinary.
There were two interconnected hearts on it and two English alphabets: C&G.
It was formed from his Chen and her Guang.
A long time ago, she had him buy the ring, saying, “Putting the first word of our last syllables together into this crystal ring… Don’t you think that it looks like it was made just for us? You can just propose marriage to me using this ring in the future!”
It had already been two years since they had broken up—why was he still holding onto this ring!
Shi Guang picked the ring up and instinctively wore the ring on her finger. The moment it slipped in, a cold voice rang out beside her ears, “What are you doing?”
AHHHHH!
Alarmed, Shi Guang spun around frantically to see Lu Yanchen standing behind her. After hiding her hands behind her back, she wanted to take the ring off secretly.
Alas, Shi Guang had not expected that the ring would seem a little tight stuck on her ring finger!
She was able to wear it two years ago, but now, it didn’t seem to fit her anymore as she couldn’t get it off.
Lu Yanchen walked to her side slowly as that perfectly expressionless face looked at her with a cold indifference before continuing, “Why are you here?”
