Shi Guang walked the entire time idly. She was in no hurry to get back to the villa. She wanted to head to her apartment and get some stuff first. Passing by a shrub, she caught sight of Lu Yanchen’s car parked below the apartment building. Instinctively, she stopped in her tracks.

It was only after he turned off the engine that she continued walking forth.

The moment Lu Yanchen got off his car, he caught sight of Shi Guang, who was walking toward him slowly. When their gazes met, Lu Yanchen acted as though he had seen nothing.

Shi Guang was stunned for a moment before opening her eyes once more.

So, it wasn’t that Lu Yanchen had something on that he did not head back home—he had returned to his apartment.

Why didn’t he say anything about it?

Shi Guang could not describe what she was feeling in her heart, just a stuffy emotion.

Turning around toward the apartment, the two of them walked ahead side by side without saying anything. Even after entering the lift, there was nothing but silence.

Shi Guang did not know what was up with him. Weren’t things clearly alright just days ago? But, why was it that the feeling between them seemed cold and distant just like when they had first reunited?

As though she was possessed, she did not know what compelled her to speak, but she called out his name.

“Lu Yanchen...”

His gaze turned down slightly and grazed by her. “Anything?”

It was the same impassionate coldness as ever. However, the distance that he was putting between them through his voice was something she could not ignore.

Instinctively, she twirled her fingers. “Well, your swimming lessons...”

“I don’t require them for now.”

Shi Guang found herself rendered speechless. Without saying anything more, she walked out when the lift stopped at the 11th floor.

By the time the lift door closed back once more, Shi Guang’s gaze darkened. From the depths of her heart came a rising stuffiness that she could not describe at all, choking her breathing uncomfortably.

When she got home, she did not linger around, leaving right after she took her stuff.

The lift soon arrived at the 1st floor. When the door opened, she found Chu Mubei standing outside. For him to follow closely after Lu Yanchen had returned, it was clear that they had arranged to meet.

She could be considered as acquaintances with Chu Mubei by now. Even though she knew that he was a little cheeky with his words, he was quite a decent guy. Thus, she would no longer avoid or pretend as though she did not know him like in the past.

Curling her lips, she greeted Chu Mubei, “Evenin—”

However, Chu Mubei was different from the past him. Not only did he not greet Shi Guang with a smile, his cold gaze even averted her.

Brushing by her, he acted just like a complete stranger.

Shi Guang, “...”

Just what was going on here?

Since when had she offended Chu Mubei?

When she came out of the lift, she stuck out her tongue and made faces when the lift door was about to close. She had thought that Chu Mubei would not have spotted that from the small gap of the door closing.

However, she thought wrong—he had seen her.

He quickly pressed on the button to open the door once more. Taking two steps forth, he stood right between the doors of the lift.

That had Shi Guang totally taken aback.

He surveyed her from head to toe with his eyes before curling his lips up slowly into a sneer as he scoffed out at Shi Guang coldly, “I really would not have thought that that person was you!”

Shi Guang’s face was stunned as she looked at him with bewilderment. “That person? Me?”

Chu Mubei jeered out repeatedly, “Yeah, carry on acting. In the past, I had thought that you were just a pure and innocent girl, different from the other girls out there. But, it’s only now that I know you’re way too good at acting. You’re no different from other girls... No, you’re an even greater actor than them!”

Because she was so good at acting was why she could be strong enough to not even have a slight bit of shame when coming across Old Lu once more, and even want to seduce him on the pretext of becoming his swimming coach again!
