Chapter 834

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 . ”
