Since he had already started it, he might as well go through with it. Lu Yanchen then sighed, “That’s because… your sister might never return again.”
Shi Guang’s face turned even more terrible.
Suddenly, her head felt a little giddy as she stood up from Lu Yanchen and circled around before looking at him. Puffing her cheeks, she declared unhappily, “How can that be! My sister is clearly fine and good. Why will she never return?”
Lu Yanchen looked at her. “Your sister was a vegetable. There’s no way she wouldn’t be faced with dangers after being missing for so long. At times, even outcomes you don’t wish for may happen. You’ve got to consider that possibility.”
“LU YANCHEN!!” Shi Guang glared at Lu Yanchen with a tough expression. As for him, he could merely gaze back at her.
Shi Guang rubbed her cheeks fiercely as she began flustering somewhere deep in her heart.
“I don’t like it to be like this…!” Suddenly, her expression was hardened and her tone steely, as though there was no room for negotiation. “I told you that my sister was going to be fine and you promised me the same as well! Why are you saying that now?! You clearly know what it is that I don’t want to listen the most, and you clearly know I trust you the most… to trust that you would be able to bring my sister back! But why… why…”
Looking at how agitated she was such that she could barely breathe, Lu Yanchen placed his hand behind her back to try and calm her down. But, Shi Guang was thoroughly enraged as she slapped his hand away and thumped down against his chest. “Are you crazy! Why do you have to say these things out of nowhere!”
She spun her head around. “If you can’t find my sister, I won’t blame you! I’ll search for her myself!”
With that, she walked away.
Looking at Shi Guang’s emotional outburst, Lu Yanchen suddenly felt a sense of frustration—the things that he too were not willing to face and think about, he now had an answer to them.
He tugged at her hand, not wanting her to leave.
Shi Guang did not wring it off her.
Even though things looked to be calm for the moment, their relationship was actually in a tight strain right now.
His lips were pursed extremely tightly, and it was only after a long time that he finally spoke, “Actually, you still feel that I was the one who had caused your family to break apart.”
Even though she had not said it out, even if she tried her best to convince herself in her heart that she should not blame him at all… it was as Mo Jin had said.
Even if she didn’t blame him, she wouldn’t be able to live with it entirely.
That was the reason why even at their sweetest moments, the mere mention of her sister would have her turning frantic, wanting him to find her back.
Shi Guang exploded.
Unable to deal with the anger, she slammed at the table and swept everything on it down to the floor. “Lu Yanchen! Why are you suddenly turning so annoying! Since when have I thought that way! Wouldn’t things all be fine as long as you find my sister?”
He merely gripped her hand tightly. “And if I can’t find her? You’d break up with me and divorce me, is that it?”
Shi Guang yanked her hand away. She was extremely vexed and did not like the way he was pressing her for a clear answer right now.
Her lengthened silence merely had Lu Yanchen laughing out bitterly.
He let go of her hand and rubbed at his temple. “If I had a choice, I wish that you hadn’t saved me back then.”
Shi Guang glared at him in frustration. “Stop being childish, alright? Didn’t I just go look for Rong Mo? If you don’t like me to do it, you go check up on him then! Does that settle everything now?”
