His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light Chapter 236 - Young Master Lu’s Decent Hooligan Act (3)

s.h.i.+ Guang went silent, acting as though she heard nothing at all. But, Lu Yanchen continued to look at her with a curious expression. She glared at him, not willing to be shown up by him. “Sure! I’ll be responsible for getting a ravis.h.i.+ng beauty who would quench your flames properly!”

Lu Yanchen was choked upon hearing that. “…”

His gaze was locked onto s.h.i.+ Guang with a frosty manner, carrying a cautionary tone in it.

s.h.i.+ Guang no longer bothered with him as she lowered her head before tucking in wildly. As for that bowl of soup, she didn’t even bother to look at it thereafter. Whether or not Lu Yanchen consumed it was something she did not care about or want to know.

When they were halfway through the meal, Lu Yanchen’s phone rang. He peered at the screen before picking it up.

“Old Lu, where are you now?” The boyish voice of Chu Mubei drifted over playfully from the other end.

“Eating.”

“Old Mo has returned to the country and we’ve agreed to host a welcome meal for him, haven’t we? Why did you go and eat on your own first?!” Chu Mubei exclaimed on the other end.

“I’ll head over later.”

Chu Mubei had not intended to let him off just like that. “What sort of a person could have you stand us up? Could you be with Little Sister s.h.i.+ Guang right now?”

Lu Yanchen glanced opposite at s.h.i.+ Guang who was chomping down on her food and replied indifferently, “Yes.”

On the other end of the call, Chu Mubei whistled out happily before sn.i.g.g.e.ring, “You can just ask Little Sister s.h.i.+ Guang to join us then!”

“No…”

Even though he did not know how Lu Yanchen was going to reply, Chu Mubei was not going to give him a chance to reject as he exclaimed out again, “Hand the phone over to Little Sister s.h.i.+ Guang. I’ll invite our dear Little Sister s.h.i.+ Guang myself.”

Naturally, there was no way Lu Yanchen would hand the phone over. Hence, he merely asked s.h.i.+ Guang, “Chu Mubei wants to treat you to a meal to hold a welcome for another friend.”

s.h.i.+ Guang was a little stunned. What had she got to do with Chu Mubei holding a welcome meal for another friend?

She rejected without thinking twice, “Thanks, but I’m not free.”

If Chu Mubei wanted to treat her to a meal, Lu Yanchen would definitely be there. For him to bring her along when they were going to have a meal with their friends? What was up with that?

No, there was absolutely no way she would go for that.

Lu Yanchen spoke back into his phone after her reply. “Heard that?”

Chu Mubei did not want to give up just yet and still wanted to talk to s.h.i.+ Guang.

“I’ll head over later,” With that said, Lu Yanchen hung up on the phone straight.

s.h.i.+ Guang swallowed the food in her mouth. “If you’re busy, you can get going first,” She could not wish for more than to be alone–not only would she get more food, she would feel more at ease as well.

Lu Yanchen’s expression was clear as the skies, but his indifferent tone carried with it a cold sarcastic intent.

“You wish for me to leave so that you can finish that Cow’s Triple Treasure?”

“Eh?!”

s.h.i.+ Guang’s face = 囧

She felt that she should really just stop talking.

By the time they foot the bill, the Cow’s Triple Treasure was left completely untouched. For that dish, she had spent 58 yuan for nothing, causing her heart to bleed in pain.

After the meal, she headed home back straight.

Lu Yanchen did not follow her up. He was about to drive off to meet with Chu Mubei and the rest when his phone rang. Initially, he thought that it was Chu Mubei calling to rush him, and hence he was in no hurry to pick up the call.

But somehow, the phone rang incessantly, causing him to turn his head around to peer at the screen. With that, his eyes darkened.

Hesitating for a moment, he picked up the call. “Brother Yan?”

Brother Yan was Father Lu’s guard. For him to give Lu Yanchen a call, it must naturally be because Father Lu was looking for him.

“Senior Official wishes for you to make a trip home.”

“Yes.”

Lu Yanchen replied tersely before changing directions. He did not wish to go back, but he had no choice. That old man of his family was someone who ruled with an iron fist… If he didn’t head back, the next call of his would be to s.h.i.+ Guang.

*In this case, the guard is just like those bodyguards you would see around high-ranking military officials in movies. Once you reach a certain rank and is important enough, they start a.s.signing guards to you.*
