Chapter 391: Why The Breakup? (5)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The biggest issue a hospital faced was always maximum occupancy rate—it was really difficult to get a ward. Shi Guang and Mo Jin had to talk for a good long time before they could get a place for grandma to stay.

Leaving Mo Jin and little auntie to take care of grandma, Shi Guang naturally wanted to go question Lu Yanchen about why they missed out on the meeting after arranging for it.

If his family wasn’t agreeable to meeting, he should have said so earlier. What was the meaning of standing grandma up?

Suddenly, her phone rang. Taking it out, Shi Guang looked at the screen—it was Lu Yanchen.

Closing her eyes, she settled her mood. There was a mixture of a cold, sour feeling as she gripped her fist tightly in a resigned frustration. There was a spiteful impulse that she had of not wanting to pick up the call as she looked at her phone coldly.

As the phone rang over and over again, even the taxi driver could not help but peer at her with a strange expression over the rear-view mirror.

Shi Guang sighed, feeling that that thought of hers was really somewhat childish. After contemplating for a moment, she still picked up the call eventually.

Before she even spoke, Lu Yanchen’s voice rang out first, “Where are you?”

Shi Guang furrowed her brows. “I’m on a taxi, preparing to head over to your place to look for you.”

“Alright, I’ll head over immediately. I’ll tell you everything about today face to face,” Lu Yanchen massaged his temple as he said.

“Ok.” Shi Guang hung up afterward.

When she arrived at the apartment, she found him inside already. Immediately, a thought struck her—could he have been here and had not left the entire time?

However, that shouldn’t be the case.

As though he knew what was going through her mind, he explained, “Something happened when I went to fetch my mother. Sorry!”

“What happened?”

For something so important such as the meeting of two families and them missing out on it, was he going to get through with it with that casual explanation and have her take it as though nothing had happened?

He looked at her. “It’s my fault that there were some things that were not settled properly. There won’t be a next time. I’ll also apologize to grandma and explain things to her.”

Shi Guang massaged her forehead between her brows as though she was completely fatigued. “You call this an explanation? And you’re just all prepared to... have me pretend that nothing happened after all this?”

Right now, she was really frustrated in her heart.

Randomly, her thoughts spun to that initially blissful night where he had asked for a breakup after she woke up the next day.

For the longest time, it all felt as though she was living in an alternate universe.

Back then, she tried convincing herself that everything wasn’t real. However, her mind would just buzz repeatedly, leaving her in a state of confusion and bewilderment.

She wanted to clarify what had happened... But before she even realized it, before she even understood what was going on, he was gone.

And even till this day, he had not made it clear to her why he had chosen to break up with her back then.

She hated.

She scolded.

She cried.

However, no matter what she did, she could not get over the trench in her heart—just why did they break up?

Keeping it in her heart all that while was really miserable. It was as though her emotions were all choked up and had no avenue of being released.

Everything that happened to grandma seemed to be that convenient avenue as she spoke agitatedly, “If your family isn’t willing for you to get married to me, you can just tell it to me straight. Our marriage was initially a marriage of convenience, and there was actually no need to discuss about a wedding or whatnot. Just tell me straight that you don’t want a wedding.”

Marriage of convenience... Those three words pierced through Lu Yanchen’s heart.

There was a momentary staleness in the air as he glared at her fixatedly, those deep eyes of his bearing with them a sense of frustration and pain as he asked coldly, “Do you know what you are talking about?”

Could it be that his mother had not guessed anything wrong, and had not objected to this marriage wrongly?

In her heart, was that what it really was?
