Exposing The Mysterious Background (12)

Even though she was rejected, Shen Yiren had no plans of giving up. After leaving the Lus place, she headed over to Changan Street where she was meeting a childhood friend.2

Before she entered the café, the person had already waved at her from within. Entering hastily, Shen Yiren sat down and gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry for the long wait, Su Ya."

"I've only just arrived as well." Su Ya beckoned for the waitress.

"A cup of cappuccino." Shen Yiren casually ordered while Su Ya asked, "Do you want any desserts?"

"Nah, it's fine. I just had lunch."

"You went over the Lus place today?"

"That's right. I definitely have to visit them now that I'm back."

Su Ya looked at Shen Yiren deeply. "You've always had a good relationship with Lu Yanchen since you were young. It's a pity he's married now."

Shen Yiren chuckled gently. "Why is that a pity? I met his wife yesterday, she's pretty nice!"

Su Ya was stunned for a moment – Shen Yiren doesn't fancy Lu Yanchen?

She then asked stiffly, "I recall your families wanting to get you guys engaged. I thought…"

"Haha, stop messing around! That's impossible!" Shen Yiren interrupted before changing topics.

Before long, Shen Yiren asked softly, "Right, have you heard about the issue concerning Lu Yanzhi's son's mother?"

"You don't know about the story between Lu Yanzhi and my auntie?" Su Ya reversed the question.

Your auntie?

Instantly, a devilishly charming face flickered through Shen Yiren's memories. "You mean, Xiao Bai's mother is your auntie?"

How could it be Su Ya's auntie? Then why would he say that Xiao Bai's mother was gone back then? Why are the both of them not together now then?

"Yiren, what's wrong? I've called you a couple of times now." Su Ya had been calling Shen Yiren's name a couple of times and yet, she was still lost till Su Ya raised her voice.

She smiled apologetically once more. "Sorry, I didn't catch you?"

"So, the one you fancy is Lu Yanzhi?" Su Ya asked curiously after seeing that reaction.

"That's right, I like Yanzhi. Ever since I was young, my wish is to get married to him." Shen Yiren did not try hiding and confessed to it right away. She then gave a dejected look. "But I don't think he likes me."

"Feelings take time to build up. What are you getting hasty for?" Su Ya then smiled warmly. "Do you need my help?"

"Help? How are you so good at courting men?"

"Why that question!"

"How else can you help me? I thought that you must have some spectacular tricks up your sleeve."

Su Ya froze momentarily – was Shen Yiren acting dumb or was she for real?

She sipped her coffee while Shen Yiren continued, "I want to meet your auntie. There's a welcome banquet for me a few days later, could you invite her along?"

Su Ya nodded her head. "Of course."

After parting ways with Shen Yiren, Su Ya smiled. There she was, thinking that there was no other way out.

To think that Shen Yiren would return at this time and of all things, she was in love with Lu Yanzhi. Truly, the Heavens were on her side…

After two days at Qianxun's place, Shi Guang was reluctant to leave as she held Qianxun's hands tightly when Lu Yanchen came to fetch her.

Even as the car drove off, Shi Guang's gaze was still lingering at Qianxun's place.

Lu Yanchen glanced at her. "Since you're so reluctant, why did you not tell her the truth straight?"
