His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 70

A dangerous glint streaked beneath Lu Yanchen’s eyes without leaving a single trace.

However, Chu Mubei was still giving that wide, annoying grin of his. That was right! If he were the only person here, he might not have dared to joke as such. But, with that seemingly weak on the surface yet incredibly strong presence of Little Sister Shi Guang behind him, Chu Mubei did not believe that Lu Yanchen would continue slamming the door shut.

And indeed, reluctant as he was, Lu Yanchen conceded.

Chu Mubei walked in chirpily and called out to Shi Guang behind him after he entered, “Hurry and come on in, Little Sister Shi Guang…”

Shi Guang, “…”

She was trying her best to take Chu Mubei as nothing but thin air, all prepped to take her leave right after she was done with this meal.

Raising her head, she met with Lu Yanchen’s eyes. At that instant, Shi Guang froze momentarily—she could sense the chilling and emotionless aura that was exuding forth from those deep and profound eyes of Lu Yanchen. It was so chilling that she felt as though the entire air could freeze up at that moment.

Almost out of survival instinct, Shi Guang asked, “I-I bumped into your friend outside. Should I include his share for the meal?”

Chu Mubei’s smile froze up. “Little Sister Shi Guang! You’re really tearing my plot apart now, aren’t you?”

Even though Lu Yanchen’s face was still cold, his expression softened somewhat. “No.”

Chu Mubei glared at him angrily. “You’re really hoes before bros…!”

Lu Yanchen ignored him as he walked toward the living room, with Chu Mubei following close behind. “And to think that I treated you so nice in the past, yet you’re so petty to even refuse me a single meal…”

‘What a childish man.’ Shi Guang thought in her heart before bringing the groceries into the kitchen. Even though Lu Yanchen said that she did not have to prepare Chu Mubei’s share, given the current situation, it was clear that she would have to cook more rice no matter what.

…

Flitting his eyes over in the kitchen’s direction, Chu Mubei smirked with a delightful smile before he chirped in front of Lu Yanchen, “So, what stage have you guys progressed to? If I hadn’t appeared, tonight…were you guys prepared to change into pajamas to play around?”

Lu Yanchen’s face darkened as he remarked impatiently, “If you have anything, hurry and say it. Get lost once you’re done!”

“Tsk, tsk! Asking me to get lost as and when you like to…Honestly, I must have accumulated misfortunes over my past lifetimes to be always mixing around with someone like you.” Chu Mubei grumbled out, “But, no matter what, I’m definitely having this meal today.”

Lu Yanchen’s sharp eyes narrowed as he looked at Chu Mubei deeply, causing the hair on the latter’s back to stand. “Fine, fine, fine! I’ll talk about the serious stuff first. My old man asked me today if I’m going to stay in the military or switch a career.”

“Why did he suddenly ask you that?”

“Recently, there have been some happenings, and the Liu Family is pretty much in the limelight for everything now. Two days ago, they came over to my place pompously to look for my old man for a tea session. After that, they casually started discussing my marriage…” As Chu Mubei continued, his face turned grimmer.

“The looks of the Liu Family’s daughter seem to be your cup of tea. This arranged marriage isn’t all that bad either.” Lu Yanchen replied indifferently.

“F*ck off! I don’t want that, man! So what if she’s pretty? She has no substance at all! Compared to your…”

Lu Yanchen narrowed his gaze dangerously as a razor-sharp blade seemed to shoot out of his eyes at Chu Mubei. With that, the latter cut his sentence short and then clicked his tongue twice.

“Fine, I understand! Not gonna talk about that. How about you tell me how you’re going to decide then? You’ve been hesitating till now…Could it be because of Little Sister Shi Guang?”

He moved his lower jaw, indicating over in the direction of the kitchen.

Lu Yanchen looked at him coldly. “Just decide on your own future.”

Chu Mubei’s lips curled into an arc as his eyes smiled into a line. “How can I do that? I must definitely listen to your opinion! After all, in everyone’s eyes, we’re the absolute perfect couple of the military compound!”

“Scram!”
