Yang Chifeng could not understand why it was as though he was a target board which Shi Guang could not wish for anything but shooting through with a million holes each time she saw him.

He was sure that he had not offended her in any way. Ever since he knew her, he had always been caring and nice to her.

Even if it were because of Lu Yanchen, his sister was the latter’s fiancée—Shi Guang was the 3rd party.

Shouldn’t she be the one feeling guilty?

And yet, it seemed as though she was really against Yang Sitong. No, not just his sister, but everyone from the Yangs.

This woman... was strange.

She was just like an enigma that he could not wait to explore deeper within, yet he knew that it was dangerous to do so.

Filled with curiosity, Yang Chifeng’s face was dark as he fondled his glabella before driving home.

Recently, his sister had been behaving weirdly as well. She claimed that she was sick and had been locking herself up in the house all day. But in the past, even if she were sick, she could still doll herself up glamorously and head out.

A tiny gap was pushed through the doors of the silent bedroom.

Yang Chifeng walked in, holding the investigation report on Shi Guang in his hands. Yang Sitong was lying on the sofa, looking haggard as she gazed into the distance listlessly.

When she saw him entering, she straightened her body slightly.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling better?” Yang Chifeng wanted to show her the report—perhaps, that might help answer some of his questions.

“Brother, why are you here?” Yang Sitong spoke out with a slightly hoarse voice.

Yang Chifeng’s brows were raised. She did not look like she was sick. “How long more are you intending to coop inside?”

“I don’t know.”

With the way she looked as though she was a living zombie, Yang Chifeng could guess at the reason with a single thought.

He asked coldly, “What’s going on between you and Lu Yanchen again?”

Just what in the world was so good about this Lu Yanchen? Other than his face and family background, just how in the world was that guy any bit better than him?

“Lu Yanchen, he... has discarded me away totally...” Yang Chifeng’s question had struck a chord in her heart as tears began to well up. She explained sadly, “He threatened me for that Shi Guang, saying that he will definitely not let you guys off if anything happens to her, since he does not owe his life to you guys anyway. He’s looking down on me for holding him captive to me with the lifesaving debt!”

As she continued, she cried out, “Brother, is it completely hopeless for me already?”

Even though it had already been a few days since that day, the thought of Lu Yanchen’s behavior that day still had Yang Sitong feeling fearful and helpless.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about just burning the bridges down and fighting it out completely, but she was afraid—she did not want Lu Yanchen to hate her.

She truly did like him. She had fallen for him right from the very first time she caught sight of him.

Yang Chifeng frowned as he looked at this sister of his he could not help but worry about. “Then, what are you doing now? Giving up on yourself?”

Yang Sitong clenched down on her teeth while gripping her fists tightly, replying with tearful eyes, “But what can I even do?! I don’t want this either... Every single woman in this world other than his precious Shi Guang are all trash and garbage to him!”

Finally, her tears started streaming down as every single word of hers spelled despair. “A few years ago, he came to our place to annul the marriage just so that he could be with her. Turns out, she was that ex-girlfriend of his whom he could not forget about! And now, he had come to warn me for her sake, telling me that he would be able to do anything for her! Even though I don’t want to admit that I’ve got no chance against her, it’s right in my face! I’ve lost... lost completely!”

Ex-girlfriend?

Yang Chifeng gripped the report in his hands tightly as every single question he had in his mind was quickly replaced by shock.

So, that’s it!

The fact that her high school and his university were both in the county was not just a mere coincidence!

The reason why Lu Yanchen had chosen to attend university in the county back then was... all so that he could be with her?
