Shi Guang changed into a black gown and put on some light makeup before walking before Lu Yanchen and spinning around. “Is this alright?”

“Just dress casually... It’s not as though you’re the lead.”

“So, I have to dress casually because I’m not the lead? Then why are you dressed so handsomely?” A black suit with a white inner shirt, despite being something that he always wore, Lu Yanchen looked exceptionally charming with his distinct looks.

She muttered, “You’re going to steal the limelight from the groom. That Shi Ze already hates you enough to begin with, and if you were to steal his show, he would definitely hate you even more.”

Lu Yanchen held her hands. “It’s good enough for me to know about your beauty... alone.”

Shi Guang could not help but chuckle—this man was truly getting better at sweet nothings. Sitting in the car, she could not help but look back at the house. “Hmm, is Yanzhi really not going?”

“I don’t think he got an invitation.”

“You know what I mean...” Shi Guang nudged him. “Is Yanzhi going to give up just like this?”

“No idea! If this were three days ago, he might not go at all. But now, perhaps...” Lu Yanchen gave a deep, knowing smirk.

Shi Guang had quite a good understanding of Lu Yanchen. Yet, she could not decipher this smirk.

“So, is he going or not?”

He did not respond, and reminded instead, “Things may happen at the engagement banquet tonight. There’ll be people protecting you from the dark, but just in case, make sure you stick close to me. If I’m not with you, don’t wander around all alone.”

The way he spoke with such firmness and seriousness had Shi Guang rattled. Her face turned pale with uneasiness. “Erm, should we just not go then?”

He raised his brow. “No.” as he pinched at her cheeks. “Don’t worry, I’m around!”

“But... I don’t really feel like going anymore.”

“Didn’t you wish to see Rong Mo? Why are you not going to go now?” He said as he drove forth—things would not end just because they did not appear tonight. In life, there are certain things that would always be meant to happen. He truly wanted to see just how Shi Ze wanted to play this game.

...

Even though it was just an engagement banquet between the Sus and the Shis, it was still quite a grand affair, as they booked the most expensive salon in the city and luxurious cars were parked fully at the entrance.

Within the extravagant hall, the crowd were dressed to the nines.

Shi Guang got off the car, holding Lu Yanchen’s hand while showing the invitation. Instantly, the security let the both of them through.

The moment they got off the car, they attracted the gazes of the masses. After all, there were many who knew about the feud between Lu Yanchen and Shi Ze. For Lu Yanchen to show up at this engagement banquet, there was no way there wasn’t going to be a commotion.

Shi Guang whispered to him. “Everyone seems to be looking at us weirdly.”

There was a distant cold and aloof aura that was emanating out despite Lu Yanchen’s nonchalant attitude. “You’ve been out with me so many times. Since when have we gone anywhere without everyone looking at us? Are you still not used to it?”

“Perhaps I might after a couple more times.” She bit on her lips gently and smiled before checking out the hall. “Seems like Qian Xun’s engagement is still rather grand.”

Lu Yanchen brought her to somewhere slightly more isolated and they sat down. “Our marriage would be even grander than this.”

She furrowed her brows. “Actually, I’d still prefer a Chinese wedding.”
