Lu Yanchen sat at home moodily while twirling his phone, awaiting Shi Guang’s return naively.
When he did not manage to await her return, he had someone go check the surveillance cameras.
It was only after he saw her leaving in a rush by herself before boarding a taxi to leave the airport that he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he was still worried, afraid that something might have happened to her.
Just as he was about to send someone to investigate, he received a text message.
She said that she was fine and that something merely happened such that she had to leave immediately. She was really sorry that she would not be able to go for the honeymoon with him today, and asked if it could be postponed for a couple of days.
He could imagine how sorry and apologetic she was.
However, after confirming her safety, Lu Yanchen was the one turning angry instead. His hands curled into tight fists while his eyes turned into an unyieldingly cold gaze.
<I’m sorry, something cropped up at the last minute, and I can’t go for the honeymoon with you anymore.>
What happened?
And why did she not tell him at the very first moment?
They were already husband and wife now. Looking at the empty space opposite him, he suddenly felt his heart going hollow as well. It was as though their relationship had never changed at all from the past.
As though… all the happiness and sweetness they had just experienced was all fake.
Her attitude toward him was nothing more than his mere hallucination.
Their reality was just… a gap that could never ever be bridged.
There was a ball of emotions and frustration that he could not spill from his heart as he sat on the sofa for a good long time without moving, mostly trying to stabilize his mood.
But, it was still evident that he was truly angered today. There were many reasons behind it. And exactly because there were so many reasons leading to it, it wasn’t that easy for him to recover from it.
Even though Shi Guang returned really quickly, his face was still dark and cold.
It was only until she saw Lu Yanchen that she could finally reveal every single bit of unrest and uneasiness in her heart as she was almost on the brink of tears. “Lu Yanchen, I’m sorry…”
Lu Yanchen’s face was black as he pursed his lips and said nothing. “…”
“I’m sorry, please don’t get angry! I received a threatening text earlier on. Someone had used my name to transfer hospitals for my sister. She threatened me not to tell you and that I must leave you at once or she’ll have my sister disappear from the face of this world. I was absolutely shocked out of my mind, and thus, I left without bidding farewell.”
Pausing for a moment, she continued.
“At that time, I guessed that it was Yang Sitong who had done it, and thus I went to look for her. I then saw Yang Chifeng later instead. He said that he would help me save my sister, and hope that I would cooperate with him and pretend to leave you first. That way, once Yang Sitong started feeling at ease, he would then save my sister. He said that the reason why he’s helping me is because he hopes that I’ll be able to let Yang Sitong off.”
Shi Guang treaded her words carefully. Her voice was really gentle just like an unswaying willow. However, even then, those words thumped at Lu Yanchen’s heart like a hammer.
He was astounded that something so huge had happened. At the same time, he was frustrated that he was not the first person she would tell something so huge to!
The previous time around with the incident about her little auntie’s husband, she had not told him either. And even now, it was the same.
He had clearly told her the previous time that no matter what happened in the future, she must definitely tell it to him at first notice. But, she had chosen to leave without a single peep, such that he could only watch her helpless figure fading into the background, walking away with such determination while he could only wonder what was wrong with her.
And even more than anything else, he could not accept the fact that she had gone looking for Yang Sitong alone. That woman had already dared to make a move on her sister! A woman like that could do anything once she was pushed to the edge!
