Chapter 40: Do You Like Lu Yanchen?

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

By the time Shi Guang got home from the nursing home, it was already 9pm. Just like the two previous days, she bumped into Lu Yanchen below her apartment once more.

She was gloomy right now. Coming home at 5-6pm led to her bumping into him. She bumped into him when she came home at 11-12am again. But now, even at 8-9pm, she was bumping into him once more?

Why was it so coincidental?

And, just as she could not figure this out at all, she realized that the man who had stepped out of Lu Yanchen’s car was not Lu Yanchen. It was that friend of his, Chu Mubei.

Chu Mubei’s face was sunken was though he was troubled by something. Twirling the car keys in his hand, he looked absolutely devil-may-care.

When he caught sight of Shi Guang, a look of surprise flashed across his face which was then quickly replaced by a grin as though he was a fish that had just caught sight of bait...

Shi Guang froze up for a moment. When she saw Chu Mubei approaching her, she hurriedly walked off while taking huge strides at the same time... She did not want to get too involved with this Casanova who loved drinking flower tea!

But, Chu Mubei would not spare her. Coming beside Shi Guang, he was all smiles, “Little Shi Guang! You’re staying here too?”

As he said that, his right brow twitched as though he had just thought of something. He then let out a knowing smile, “Not bad! You guys are progressing pretty fast, aren’t you? That Lu Yanchen is really swift, accurate, and ruthless in his attacks! To think that you guys would be cohabiting just like that!”

The moment Shi Guang heard that, she knew that he must be thinking dirty as her face turned black, “What cohabiting? Please don’t make blind guesses. I stay on the eleventh floor. Lu Yanchen stays on the twelfth floor.”

“Soooooo coincidental?” Chu Mubei reversed the question with a disbelieving expression.

Shi Guang nodded her head heavily.

Treading toward her apartment, she could not be bothered as to whether he believed her or not. All she wanted was to get away from him. But, Chu Mubei would not fulfill her wishes as he followed her closely and entered the lift.

When he saw Shi Guang pressing the eleventh-floor button, he murmured out, “Seems like you’re really staying on the eleventh floor. But honestly, this affinity that you guys have is just speechless.”

Ignoring him, Shi Guang decided to treat him like air. But, Chu Mubei was persistently trying to push a conversation, “So, Little Shi Guang, what is your impression toward Lu Yanchen?”

Shi Guang pondered for a moment as to what those words could mean before turning her head over slowly and giving him a warning look, “What do you mean?”

Chu Mubei expressed his innocence, “Please don’t look at me like that as though I’m some baddie who’s going to abduct you!” As he said that, he extended his hand toward her head.

Frowning so badly that her entire forehead was filled with lines, she slapped his hand away.

Chu Mubei wasn’t angry at all as he continued questioning her, “Weeeeeell then...Do you like our Old Lu? Aka Lu Yanchen!”

This question caused Shi Guang to shudder out as she could not help but raise her voice, “Who’s the one liking him?”

That was quite an overreaction, making Chu Mubei squint his eyes and size her from head to toe with a calmness unfazed by turbulent times.

Suddenly, his lips curled as he revealed an enlightened expression!

That had Shi Guang feeling exceptionally peeved as her embarrassment turned into rage and she could not help spouting out, “Young Master Chu! Please stop with your blind guesses!”

Chu Mubei chuckled out slightly as he stuck out his tongue, giving off an extremely cheeky look while carrying a teasing tone in his voice, “I only asked you if you liked him or not. What do you have to get all that flustered and fierce for? Unless...”

Shi Guang glared at him, “Who’s getting flustered? Who’s getting fierce?”

Chu Mubei waved his hand off and shrugged his shoulders, “The way you look now, aren’t you flustered? Aren’t you fierce? You are just what a little tigress would be like! Huehue...!”

This laughter coming into her ears right now had her feeling as though she was Harry Potter facing Voldemort; it was an extremely unpleasant feeling!

“...”

Thankfully, the lift had already arrived on the eleventh floor. Without waiting a second longer, Shi Guang hurried out as Chu Mubei’s voice trawled out behind her, “If you like Lu Yanchen, you can come look for me! There’s no one else who understands him better than I do! I can help you chase him...”
