In fact, the driver was already driving really quickly. Any faster and he would be risking a demerit.

However, it couldn’t be any slower in Shi Guang’s eyes.

By the time she was standing outside Lu Yanchen’s apartment entrance, shivering uncontrollably, it almost felt like an eternity.

While quivering, she raised her hands. But, right as she wanted to knock on his door, she froze...

Mo Jin was right.

Even if she had truly fancied him, the very first reason why she had approached him and confessed in the library was because he was Yang Sitong’s fiancé.

She did have revenge in mind—to snatch away Yang Sitong’s fiancé.

Even if she had only courted him afterward out of a true liking for him... even if the thought of Yang Sitong never popped up after she was with him... so what?

At the end of the day, that thought that pushed her toward confessing to him initially was still out of vengeance... How could she explain that to him?

She lost her courage.

She was afraid.

There was no strength left in her to knock at that door.

She could not guess Lu Yanchen’s state of mind right now either. Was he alright with everything?

After all, they were already married and he was her husband now.

Husband...

This was the first time that she was acknowledging the reality of them being a married couple post their marriage.

Shi Guang stood there deep in her thoughts until a voice drifted out from behind her. “Why are you here?”

Turning around, she saw Lu Yanchen looking at her skeptically. Her feet quivered slightly, but she made no signs of wanting to move forward.

He walked over with his brows furrowed as he asked in displeasure, “And drenched to boot.”

Their quarrel in the afternoon... her demanding to get a divorce... her firm departure... All of those seemed like events that were long past.

She did not want to remember them.

historical

As for him, it did not seem as though he remembered.

The only thoughts on his mind as he looked at her sudden appearance all drenched like that were nothing but worries and concern.

Shi Guang’s body jerked slightly as her lips trembled. Yet, no words could come out of her mouth as she stood there rooted and helpless.

“Achoo!”

It was only till a cold breeze gusted by that she broke out into a sneeze.

His gaze turned cold immediately as he opened the door and dragged her in. However, he had just taken a single step when Shi Guang hugged him tightly, her petite and frozen pale face letting slip a shy and bitter smile, “Lu Yanchen...”

Lu Yanchen was stunned. Turning around, he found her shutting her eyes tightly while knitting her brows, looking all flustered and lost.

He wanted to peel her hands away, but he heard her murmuring, “Lu Yanchen... don’t...”

Hate me

Tears slipped down by the side of her eyes...

Why is she crying?

Lu Yanchen’s heart could not help but soften. No matter how much he hated her, he still could not bear to see her like this.

At the same time, he started blaming himself. Why did he have to be so harsh on her earlier?

They were already married—there were no married couples that didn’t fight at all. Every single quarrel would result in one side complaining about a divorce.

Furthermore, they were truly the ones at fault for not turning up at the wedding discussion as planned—it was only natural for her to be upset.

Toward Shi Guang’s weakness and helplessness, Lu Yanchen’s heart felt nothing but pain.

“Don’t what...?” He asked softly, “Come in first. You’re all drenched. We’ll talk about it later.”

He moved his arms over to her and carried her in, bringing her to the sink in the bathroom. Reaching over her, he grabbed for a towel and covered her head, drying her hair for her. “It’s late at night and pouring. Why were you running out there?”

The pains that were building the entire night finally seeped out as warm tears filled her eyes. Shi Guang could not help it and wanted to cry once more...
