Shi Guang froze for a moment, thinking that she must have been hearing things. It was only after a good while that she found her voice once more. “You... What did you just say?”

Lu Yanchen frowned, seemingly looking displeased that he had to repeat himself once more. However, giving in to Shi Guang’s shocked expression, he used the same tone and repeated every single word with a perfect enunciation, “Get married then.”

This time around, Shi Guang had heard it loud and clear. Her eyes widened as though she had just been struck by a thunderbolt, looking at Lu Yanchen like she was looking at an alien.

She wanted to make out any single hint of a joke from his face. However, she found that he was looking more serious than he could ever be.

Shi Guang’s head was ringing non-stop as she stood there speechless for a long time. Eventually, she managed to push the words out of her grit teeth. “What sort of a joke is this?”

Lu Yanchen eyed her coldly before asking, “What else can you do other than marrying?”

Shi Guang choked. “B... But...!” She truly had not thought that she would really be marrying Lu Yanchen... or the fact that he would even be willing to marry her!

To help her?

That wasn’t right.

Shi Guang lowered her head and took in a couple of deep breaths before spilling every single doubt she had in her heart, “Why are you willing to... get married? It should not happen between us. Don’t you think that this is hilarious? That it’s strange?”

She truly could not make out what he was thinking.

“I need to get married, and for you, it’s just a lucky coincidence.” Lu Yanchen spoke out indifferently in an extremely casual tone. It was as though they were going to retrieve nothing but a marriage certificate of zero significance, an object that couldn’t have been any more normal and insignificant.

As for Shi Guang, it was as though she was an option that had just appeared right when he had needed one.

Be it real or fake, that totally indifferent and aloof attitude of his was truly affecting Shi Guang.

All this while, she had always felt that marriage was something that was extremely important. But, to think that at this moment, even she would think that... that was all there was to marriage.

She thought for a moment. “... So, what you mean is that we’ll pretend to get married? I’ll pretend to be your wife and you’ll pretend to be my husband? We wouldn’t have to go through any obligations of man and wife and continue living our own separate lives without interfering with the other? Once everything blows over, we’ll then get divorced and none of us will have to suffer because of this fake marriage?”

He clearly had a fiancée that he refused to acknowledge—Yang Sitong.

Was he afraid that she would still entangle herself with him and bring more trouble?

After hearing her words, Lu Yanchen lowered his gaze without leaving a trace.

Shi Guang was frowning as well with a troubled look. “This entire affair sounds simple, but it’s rather difficult to go through. And, it isn’t really good to...”

Lu Yanchen suddenly back faced her, allowing himself to sink into his own darkness. The feeling he was giving off was as though she had exhausted every single bit of patience he could accord to her. He no longer wanted to chat anymore as he laid down an ultimatum. “You have three days to consider.”

With that said, he left.

...

That night, Shi Guang slept really terribly.

Images of scenes from two years ago and after flashed by her mind repeatedly, looking the same yet different at the same time. Groggy and in a semi-conscious state, she fumbled around for the entire night. By the time she woke up, she found two dark circles around her eyes.

The sunlight shining in from outside was so brilliant and beautiful, yet a little piercing.

She sat up to pull the curtains before lying down on the bed once more, her head still in the same confused state.

Logically speaking, for grandma’s sake, she should get married to Lu Yanchen. After all, grandma’s health was more important than anything else right now.

But, she did not want to be this reckless with something as big as her marriage... even if it were fake!
