“Now, the thing about women is that once you get their bodies, you will definitely be able to get their hearts. If you insist on getting their hearts before their bodies, that’s called making an unnecessary move. Who knows, it might even backfire. If for some reason she’s still in love with her ex-boyfriend, you’d be stuck in a spot.”

With that said, Chu Mubei sniggered out naughtily once more, “Say, they were in high school back then. Do you think she might have… with that ex-boyfriend?”

Finally, Lu Yanchen had a reaction as he tossed the dumbbell he was holding at Chu Mubei. As a result, the latter was so scared that he dodged right away. “Old Lu! That’s murder! Don’t you know that someone’s going to die if they’re struck by that?”

“If you can’t even dodge that after being in the military for so long, you would deserve it even if you were to die,” Lu Yanchen eyed him once before continuing, “Also, don’t make comparisons between you and me… Lowly!”

“Ha, I’m lowly? Don’t tell me that you only wish to hold hands with her, and that’s all! Hmph! We’re all men! How can we not know how other men think? What’s there to act innocent about? When flowers blossom, one must naturally pluck them. Otherwise, by the time they wither, you’re left with nothing but branches.”

With that said, he picked up the dumbbell that Lu Yanchen threw over and tossed it back at him. The latter turned around suavely before heading for the changing room.

Exiting from the gym, it was just nice for dinnertime as they headed for the famous Tang Palace Seafood Restaurant. Putting down his phone, Chu Mubei held the menu. “Order more dishes… Old Tang and the others are coming over.”

Lu Yanchen, who was just about to wipe his hands dry, was about to reply when he heard a male voice. “Mum, we’re here!”

It came over from the private room beside theirs.

Because the windows of both rooms weren’t closed, there wasn’t any soundproofing, hence the echoing of the voices. He looked at Chu Mubei, who was ordering the dishes, and was prepared to stand up to close the windows.

“Auntie, it has been a long time!”

Who knew that just as he put down his wet tissue, a familiar voice drifted over that had Lu Yanchen freezing his body and instinctively stopping everything he was doing.

Chu Mubei, who was ordering the dishes, raised his head in surprise as well before looking at Lu Yanchen in bewilderment and asking softly, “Little Sister Shi Guang?” He then chuckled, “This is too coincidental, isn’t it?”

After ordering the dishes, he returned the menu to the waitress.

Once the waitress left, the voices from the private room drifted over once more. It was the male voice they had heard earlier, filled with excitement. “Mum, I don’t care. I like Shi Guang… She is my one true love! I’ll definitely not get engaged with that whom or whatnot. Shi Guang is the only one I want to spend my life with! Don’t come and break us up!”

Lu Yanchen’s gaze narrowed as he gripped a glass beside his hand unconsciously.

“This… meet the parents session?” Chu Mubei was astounded as he looked at Lu Yanchen before asking in a soft, questioning tone, “That guy is talking about how he’s not going to marry anyone other than Little Sister Shi Guang? So… she has been taken by some other guy?”

“Smelly brat, you had better shut up! I’m not going to believe a word of yours,” Yet another female voice drifted over—this should be the mother of that guy. After ranting out, she changed her tone tenderly, “Shi Guang, you tell me… Is what my smelly brat saying true?”

Shi Guang smiled out with a wide arc on her eyes. But, only she herself knew how guilty she felt with that smile. She could feel Huo Zhan kicking down on her feet underneath the table as she nodded her head after a moment of hesitation. “Yes.”

“Right, mum? I told you! We’re truly in love!”

Chu Mubei looked over at Lu Yanchen, whose face was expressionless, but his gaze was extremely sharp… so sharp it could pierce through the wall right now.

Chu Mubei chuckled and remarked cruelly, “You’re out of the game—it’s over.”

*Oh my god. The pain Lu Yanchen must have felt when he heard Shi Guang agreeing to it :(*
