When he arrived at his apartment, Lu Yanchen was in no hurry to head up. He took his phone out and made a call. The phone rang for a long time before the person on the other end picked up. Shen Lingshuang’s voice drifted over, “Hello…”

There was no sign of the same excitement she would give off in the past when her son called. In fact, her voice was even a little stuffy as she asked something out of her norm, “Why are you suddenly calling?”

Lu Yanchen raised his brows, surprised at her response. However, he still informed her of his motive for calling, “Mum, I want to get married!”

Stunned to the max, Shen Lingshuang was so surprised that the cup she held in her hand jerked, spilling hot tea over her fingers. Immediately, she put her cup down with a frightfully pale face.

She clutched at her heart while looking at the person opposite her before replying to the phone, “You hold on.”

She then apologized to the person seated opposite her, “Mrs. Yang, please give me a moment.”

The dazzling lights of the living room shrouded the two of them—neither of their faces had a good expression on them.

“Don’t worry about it,” Mrs. Yang said as she took up her teacup from the sandalwood table. Meanwhile, Shen Lingshuang stood up and left with her phone.

When Lu Yanchen heard his mother calling out to Mrs. Yang from the phone, his eyes narrowed.

What was Mrs. Yang doing at the Lu Family this late at night?

One would not knock on the palace’s door without trouble brewing.

After ensuring that she was far enough, Shen Lingshuang peeped at Mrs. Yang, who was in the living room, before asking her son seriously, “Are you certain that you really want to marry her?”

“Hmm?” He could sense the weirdness in his mother’s tone.

“Weren’t you all adamant against marrying her the entire time? But then again, given how things are right now, people would say that our Lu Family is way too cruel and heartless if you don’t marry her…”

Lu Yanchen cut her. “What are you talking about? I want to get married, but why are you talking about Yang Sitong?”

Shen Lingshuang was stunned. “Son, when you mentioned marriage earlier, wasn’t it because you knew about the issue with Yang Sitong and hence was willing to get married to her?”

Lu Yanchen was a little speechless toward this innocently naïve mother of his. “… She’s not the one I want to get married with. Why would you think that I want to marry her?”

Shen Lingshuang sighed out. “Seems like you don’t know about it yet. The reason why Mrs. Yang is over at our place so late at night is because Yang Sitong attempted suicide.”

“Suicide?” Lu Yanchen’s eyes were cold.

“It was either marrying you or death for her.”

When Shen Lingshuang first heard about it, her brains felt like spilling out. That girl was just choosing to force the two of them to get married at this critical time for the Lus! But, how could a marriage like that be blissful?

“And I’m supposed to marry her because of that?” Lu Yanchen raised his pitch slowly as his eyes turned really sharp before he scoffed coldly, “Impossible!”

Shen Lingshuang’s eyes were filled with anxiousness. “The marriage was set down in the past because she had saved you. And now, because of you, she doesn’t even care for her own life anymore. If this issue were to blow up, it would look bad on our family. Furthermore, one’s life should be placed at the highest priority. Even if you don’t want to be together with Yang Sitong, you should not choose to marry someone else at this moment.”

Lu Yanchen’s face turned colder as he went silent. “…”

Shen Lingshuang composed herself from that intense uneasiness she was feeling as she asked gently, “You want to marry… Shi Guang?”

Even though she didn’t receive a reply, Shen Lingshuang knew that he was confirming her question. She then continued, “Take it that it’s for the sake of Shi Guang then. You still mustn’t choose to get married to her now. Otherwise, how are other people going to view her in the future?”
