Chapter 288: 288

Shi Guang was stunned and could not react for quite some time . She looked at Lu Yanchen in shock . Wasn’t it just a coincidence?

Something that played out into both of their interests coincidentally?

Why did it turn real all of a sudden…?

Lu Yanchen did not force her as he stood up and wanted to leave . Looking at his back view, Shi Guang heaved in a deep breath of air . “Don’t you think that this is really strange? For us to… really get married…?”

What’s with this and that?

Yes, she DID prepare herself to get married—but that was a fake marriage!

But now he was saying that a marriage WAS a marriage?

She was a little stunned .

Lu Yanchen narrowed his gaze and replied calmly, “You can choose to reject . ”

Shi Guang really could not understand this man . “Why?”

Why?

Lu Yanchen paused in his steps .

He had suddenly recalled how she had asked him the same question back when he had initiated the breakup two years ago .

Why?

She had the cheek to ask him why?

At that time, she gave off such shock and innocence that he had wanted to laugh . However, he managed to hold back all of his emotions and displayed that same sense of coldness and heartlessness while replying her with a total indifference, “Bored . ”

No one knew how much pain he was in or how much self-control he required for him to even say out that single word with such ease .

He thought that time could dilute everything… could help him forget everything .

But when they met once more, everything crumbled .

Logic? Calmness?

All of those were cast into the winds the moment it was about her .

He looked at Shi Guang deeply before turning his head around and giving her a cold, firm reply, “Whether or not you want to get married, you have one more day to decide . ”

He was forcing both her and himself right now .

No matter the outcome, things between the two of them should come to an end by now .

If she were to reject him, there would be no more possibilities left between the two of them from this day forth . He would let her go, and let himself off from those strings as well .

Shi Guang bit down on her lip; there was a deep sense of hollowness that was spreading through her chest .

“Just what do you mean by this? Back then when you had asked for the breakup, you left just like that! And now, you want to get married with me? And it’s not even fake… It’s for real! Do you think that I’m stupid or something?”

She could no longer hold it in anymore . Her resentment was spilled out of her heart .

Bang!

However, Lu Yanchen had already left . The second before her voice even came out, he had slammed the door on his way out .

He had heard nothing at all .

That vent of Shi Guang was like a fist that had struck a cotton wall, causing her to feel even more frustrated than ever .

She tugged at her hair in absolute frustration . She was caught at a loss, and really wanted to just let loose and go mad .

Throwing herself onto her bed, she thumped out furiously while covering her entire head with her blanket .

What a frustrating day!

She had thought that it would be yet another sleepless night; but in the end, she managed to fall asleep somehow .

The next day, she received a call from Xiao Xia .

“That woman the previous time round had returned . This time around, she wasn’t alone—she even brought her mother . I told them that your sister had transferred to another hospital after her visit that day and they left . However, they didn’t seem too believing of my words . ”

Even though it was a few mere sentences, it was enough to send shivers down Shi Guang’s spine .

Just what in the world was this Yang Sitong thinking of doing?

Shi Guang could not understand at all .

…

That night, she went over to Lu Yanchen’s apartment and thumped on his door . It didn’t take long for the door to open up . Lu Yanchen stood at the doorway, fully dressed in casual clothes, not looking like he had any intention of letting her in .

Shi Guang took in a deep breath of air, gathering a full chest of courage before speaking, “I’ve considered… I want to marry you . ”

Silence ensued . Lu Yanchen’s expression looked a little weird . “…”

Before Shi Guang could make out what he was thinking, a yell exclaimed out from the house, “HOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT! WHAT’S GOING ON HERE!”

“PROPOSING MARRIAGE?”

“DAMN, OLD LU! YOU’RE REALLY SOMETHING!”

…

Shi Guang’s face was totally astounded as she leaned her head to the side to peek through .

Immediately, she froze…

WHY WERE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE AT LU YANCHEN’S HOUSE!
