His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light Chapter 764 - Accustomed to Love (24)

The atmosphere in the room was tense and silent as the hatred in s.h.i.+ Ze’s eyes only gradually subsided after he vented his frustrations. Taking out his phone, he made a call. The first time around, no one picked up. He called for a second time relentlessly. And finally, someone picked up on the third try.

Before the person on the other end could even speak, he barked, “Yan Zi! What are you doing! Why aren’t you picking up the phone?”

On the other end, Yan Zi frowned and asked softly, “What happened?”

“Come back immediately!” He hung up right after.

Half an hour later, the door of his room opened from the outside as Yan Zi strode in with a fas.h.i.+onable coat. After entering, she looked at s.h.i.+ Ze, who was sitting on the sofa, and chuckled out. “What’s wrong? Rus.h.i.+ng me back all fl.u.s.tered and urgent.”

She removed her coat as she spoke.

It was only until she tossed her coat at the sofa that she caught sight of the bruises on s.h.i.+ Ze’s face. It took her a full 20 seconds before she snapped out of her daze and realized that she hadn’t seen wrongly—the person seated in her apartment was truly s.h.i.+ Ze.

Usually, s.h.i.+ Ze was always handsome and suave, with the occasional decent charm and domineering charisma. Yet, he had never once looked this wretched.

She was astonished for quite some time before sitting down beside him and asking worriedly, “What happened to your face?”

He said nothing, merely glaring at her coldly. It was as though this was a leopard that was agitated with a simmering anger, reeking of danger all over.

Looking at how he seemed to have no intention of replying her, she headed into the kitchen.

Entering the kitchen, she nearly stepped on a shard of gla.s.s. It was only then that she realized there was a shattered gla.s.s on the marble floor.

She was rendered rather speechless—this man specifically came over to her place to vent his frustrations!

After cleaning the mess up, she poured two gla.s.ses of warm water and returned to the living room, placing one of them in front of s.h.i.+ Ze. “You don’t usually come by my apartment. When you do, it’s always about serious business. Don’t tell me that your injuries were caused by Lu Yanchen!”

The two of them had known one another for a long time now.

Back when she was in high school, if she could know about Yang Sitong being Lu Yanchen’s fiancée, she could naturally know of the grudges between s.h.i.+ Ze and Lu Yanchen.

Because of that, she befriended s.h.i.+ Ze intentionally.

As she thought, just like her, he was someone with the utmost hatred for the Lus.

And just like that, both of them became the strongest of comrades.

Staring at her for a long time, he finally spoke, “Why had you never told me that the woman Qian Xun introduced me to in the capital was Lu Yanchen’s wife?”

He had always thought that the woman was not from their circle, especially after she said that she was already married. Unbelievably, that woman was still in university. Could she be the legendary common, honest peasant told of in the stories?

But of all things, that so-called honest peasant would actually be having an affair with a man behind her husband’s back!

At that time, s.h.i.+ Ze was only filled with nothing but disgust and anger, causing him to lose all sense of reasoning.

When Lu Yanchen left first, he was even more certain of his guess. Who knew that Lu Yanchen was merely just retrieving his car? In fact, he even got physical and threatened him all because of her.

At that moment, s.h.i.+ Ze realized that he was mistaken. That was when he started guessing that her name was not Littly, but s.h.i.+ Guang—Lu Yanchen’s wife.

Otherwise, there was no reason why Lu Yanchen would get physical!

Yan Zi was shocked. “Didn’t you know that?”

s.h.i.+ Ze scoffed coldly, his voice bringing with it a hint of warning. “Yan Zi, I’m not Su Ya.”
