His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

By the time Qian Xun returned, Shi Guang had already brought the steaming hot pot of porridge to the dining table, and even prepared two extra dishes.

After the steaming porridge entered her tummy, Qian Xun finally perked up and no longer looked so lethargic. In a house all alone, even if there was warmth, one would feel cold still; even if the sofa was soft and comfortable, it would feel hard and stiff.

Yet, even just a simple porridge and two extra dishes of food was more than enough to fill up one’s heart just like a warm home.

Looking at how Shi Guang was propping her cheeks up with both hands and merely watching her eat, Qian Xun asked, “Aren’t you eating?”

Shi Guang smiled. “I ate lunch at home. This was made specially for you.”

Qian Xun could hardly believe it. “Are you sure? Why do I feel as though you’ve got some other motive?”

“What motive could I have? If I had to find a reason, that would be Xiao Bai wanting to look for you to play.”

That reply had Qian Xun’s faint smile freezing up.

Didn’t that child dislike her? Why would he look for her on his own?

Shi Guang was surprised as well. “I was rather surprised as well. I thought that you guys were at odds after the previous time.”

Remaining silent, Qian Xun changed the topic, not wanting to talk about Xiao Bai. “When are you going to have a baby with Lu Yanchen?”

“It’s still early for us…” Shi Guang chuckled out sheepishly. “Why are you suddenly asking me that?”

“Since you like children that much and you’ve married so young, I thought you would want to give birth as quickly as possible.” Qian Xun replied while sipping on her porridge.

“Yes, I do rather like children. But, I don’t expect to have them for the next couple of years.”

“But, what if an accident happens? Would you give birth to it then?”

Shi Guang’s smile cramped up as she looked at Qian Xun troubledly. “I don’t think that’s going to happen, right?”

“It’s hard to say.” While frowning, Qian Xun smirked evilly. “Even if you’ve made precautions, it isn’t entirely safe.”

“Alright, don’t scare me anymore! I’m still intending to fight on for another two more years. Now, what about you? Are you really going to get engaged with Shi Ze?” Shi Guang truly wished that Qian Xun would not get engaged with Shi Ze. It wasn’t because of her dislike for Shi Ze—it was more of a fact that Shi Ze and Qian Xun had no feelings for one another.

“The invitation has already been given out. How could we back out?” Qian Xun did not mind at all.

“But, he isn’t a good man. This is marriage after all. Must you really see it as a transaction?” The way Shi Guang was looking at Qian Xun was really odd.

“Why can’t a transaction be a marriage?”

“Because there’s no love?”

“What’s love then?” Qian Xun chuckled and asked.

Shi Guang was stunned. “I… I don’t know how to reply. Love…”

Qian Xun then interrupted her. “Even if you know what love is, you don’t have to explain it to me. In any case, to me, love is nothing more than a burden and liability.”

Her meaning was clear—marriage was nothing more than something tasteless and meaningless.

Shi Guang could not understand. “Why would you think that? I’ve realized that you’re really extreme toward love. You should not be like that.”

“I’m not being extreme. I believe that there IS love in this world.” Qian Xun replied with seriousness. “Only, I don’t need it. I’ll never love anyone else again.”

“Sounds like you used to love many people?”

“Not many… just two.”

“Who?” Shi Guang was extremely curious as to whether one of them was Lu Yanzhi. However, she felt that Qian Xun would definitely not reply, given the way she had asked.
