His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Sipping her fruit juice quietly, she wondered where that pair had disappeared to. There should be no way they would have no reaction to the way Lu Yanchen had brought her into the place, right?

Could they have left already? That would be for the best. At least, they wouldn’t cause any trouble like that.

Shi Guang felt slightly relieved.

But in reality, her worries were for naught.

When one reached a certain status in life, as long as they were a somebody, they would only be snarky to one another through their speech, and would not burn bridges entirely even if they were death adversaries. Not only that, they mustn’t even show it on their faces, and must even fake a smile from day to day.

Therefore, be it this female companion that Lu Yanchen had brought in whose identity was unknown, even if he had brought a girl he declared to be his girlfriend to his mother’s birthday party, the Yangs would not do anything about it.

That was, unless the Yangs decided that they wanted to be outcasted by this circle entirely.

Therefore, the mother and daughter pair of the Yang Family had long left the place. In part, it was to save some face of theirs and pretend that they knew nothing about it. That way, they could still follow through with the marriage agreement.

Everyone was clear about their limits toward things.

However, Shi Guang was still feeling rather unsettled. She could sense that if things did not blow up today, it would definitely lead to more troubles in the future.

Lu Zhiyao served a bowl of chicken soup for Shi Guang. “Girls should drink more soup.”

She then looked at Lu Yanchen. “Don’t just think about eating yourself. You should help her get some food as well!”

Lu Yanchen looked at his cousin, then at Shi Guang. He then started getting food for Shi Guang, and before long, her small plate had food piled up on it like a mini mountain.

Shi Guang ate silently and did not dare to raise her head to look at anyone. By the time she was done with her food, there were already people who were starting to leave the dinner party.

She wanted to find an excuse to slip away, and thus placed her chopsticks down slowly.

Noticing her actions, Lu Yanchen turned around and looked at her immediately. Facing his stare, Shi Guang smiled out brightly, “Erm, I’m done eating…”

She was trying to imply that she wanted to leave now.

But before Lu Yanchen had even said anything, Lu Zhiyao continued, “There’s no hurry. After the dinner party, there’s a family gathering.”

Instinctively, Shi Guang asked out, “F-Family gathering?”

Lu Xuebao explained, “That’s right! The family will gather to play some cards, mah-jong, pool, watch some television, or play some other games…!”

Xiao Bai, who was by her side, shouted out immediately, “Sister! Carry me for Kings of Glory!”

Lu Xuebao’s eyes sparkled. “Carry me too! Let’s queue together as a three-man party!”

Shi Guang, “…”

After the party reception to the guests, there would be a family gathering–this was how things were like for most families. And since the Lus had a different status in society, the way they did things was similar as well.

However, she wasn’t someone of the Lu Family. There was no need for her to attend!

She was just about to reject when Lu Yanchen spoke first, “We’ve got something on later.”

Shi Guang raised her head at him–seemed like he had the same thoughts as her.

Everyone looked at Lu Yanchen skeptically.

He had already brought her to the dinner party. Why would he not rope her in for the family gathering as well?

Could they have thought things wrongly? Was she really just a female companion and not his girlfriend?

Or… was it because of the Yangs? Regarding that, it was hard for them to say anything much as well. After all, they owed the Yangs a lifesaving debt.

Lu Yanchen knew what they were all thinking about. However, he wasn’t worried about it at all as he brought Shi Guang to leave after bidding everyone farewell.

This time around, they walked out by the door beside the table and did not attract any attention at all.

It was a pouring thunderstorm outside, with lightning flashing everywhere. Standing by the door and feeling the slight sprinkle of the rainwater, Shi Guang felt all refreshed as she swung her arms in relief. “It’s over! The act’s over!”

Lu Yanchen looked at her with an indecipherable smile, “You don’t think that everything’s over just like this, do you?”
