Lu Yanchen’s frosty gaze fell onto Shi Guang’s face as he continued with a tone that was cold as ice, “I hate people who use me as a tool for killing others!”

Shi Guang’s body froze up violently. Even though he was every bit as cold as usual, she could feel his wrath...! Her heart pounded quickly as she pursed her lips, her face turning somewhat pale.

Lu Yanchen had been staring at her the entire time, his razor-sharp gaze causing her heart to rattle.

The tension in the air suddenly turned stale—it was a staleness that brought forth with it an immense pressure. It was clearly less than a single minute, yet, it seemed as though an entire century had passed.

Just as Shi Guang was about to give in to the pressure, Lu Yanchen spun his head around and tossed out yet another sentence, “It wasn’t because of you!”

Shi Guang’s face blushed in redness. Was he mocking her for her wishful thinking?

Vicious tongue...From the start, she hadn’t thought that he had done it for her. She merely wanted to thank him for his acute senses.

Chey! Seemed like that wasn’t the case. The reason why he messed with He Xinnuo was that he hated how Wu Xing and He Xinnuo were trying to make use of him!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“But, I really didn’t send those three texts.” She expressed her innocence. When she realized that the coldness on Lu Yanchen’s face had yet to be wiped away, she added on warily, “It was really He Xinnuo who had sent those.”

Lu Yanchen looked at her calmly. “Does that mobile number belong to her?”

Shi Guang’s face grimaced as she shook her head. “No, she took my mobile and sent them.”

Lu Yanchen asked once more, “Do you have proof?”

She continued shaking her head. “No.”

“Does that number from which the texts were sent belong to you?”

Shi Guang wanted to continue shaking her head, but she couldn’t. She could only nod her head and reply with a soft yes.

“Are you the one using that number?”

“Yes.”

“Have you used your mobile to make any calls today?”

“Yes.”

“Have you sent any texts?”

“Yes...” Shi Guang replied yes without thinking twice. However, she snapped to her senses quickly before shaking her head hurriedly. “N-No!”

Lu Yanchen’s lips curled up mockingly while he commented really slowly, “It’s confirmed then...You were the one who had sent those texts.”

He took another step forward, approaching ever closer. “Say then, what motives do you have?”

“I-I...!”

Shi Guang stumbled back two steps, pressured into stuttering for a good, long time without being able to speak a complete sentence.

That little face of hers was long blushed red while her chest heaved up and down heavily. Noticing that she was nearly cornered and Lu Yanchen was still pushing in, she bit down on her lip and raised both her arms up while declaring, “Listen to me, I’m really innocent!”

“But, you’ve admitted it just now.” Lu Yanchen seemed like he was determined to have it out with her, his tone cold and firm.

Shi Guang was getting a little vexed now.

Exhaling a single deep breath, she furrowed her brows while saying, “No matter how I explain, it’s going to be useless, right? Fine, take it that I’m the one who had sent those texts then! Isn’t it just three simple texts? I’ll just apologize to you then! Can we let this matter go now?”

Lu Yanchen gave off a look as though he was filled with complete disdain, “You think that we can let it go just because you wish to? Do you know that I was so disgusted that I lost my appetite and didn’t even take my meal when I received those three texts?”

Shi Guang, “...”

Did he have to be this exaggerated? Back when the two of them were still together, he was really lewd and always talking about lecherous things! What was he doing acting all pure and innocent now?

But, what other choice did she have? The texts were sent from her mobile after all.

Didn’t take his meal, right?

She then suggested stonily, “You haven’t had your meal? Fine, I’ll make you a meal and we’ll call it even for this then, okay?”

She looked at Lu Yanchen—he did not seem as though he was really satisfied with that suggestion.

Afraid that he would not let it off just like that, Shi Guang hurriedly added on, “That’s a deal, then!”
