Chapter 96: Restless...Is She A Love Rival?

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

“But...I want to be with you.” Yang Sitong looked at Lu Yanchen vacantly, her eyes welling up as she felt like crying.

Lu Yanchen hated girls who cried; therefore, Yang Sitong knew she couldn’t cry—she mustn’t do anything that Lu Yanchen didn’t like.

“Just leave...” Her pitiful expression got nothing in return except Lu Yanchen’s coldness. His icy voice was just like a frosty lake in winter.

At the end of the day, he was still giving her face on account that she had once saved him before.

“You’ve already seen it just now as well. My family’s chauffeur has already driven off.” Yang Sitong’s eyes were red right now. She then forced out a chuckle, “Could you send me back?”

Lu Yanchen rejected her still. “It’s too late...Inconvenient.”

Using his phone, he called for a ride using an app. “Three minutes...Someone will be here to pick you up.”

No matter how reluctant Yang Sitong was, she could only accept this arrangement.

She smiled out bitterly, “Alright, I’ll head back! However, Yanchen, I think that you should still consider my proposal. After all, even though you’ve already annulled the marriage here, in the eyes of the elders, we are still bound by the marriage arrangement. As long as I’m not married, this marriage arrangement won’t get annulled, and we will still have to get married eventually. Actually, I’m not as bad as you might think I am...Really!”

Lu Yanchen looked at her, his gaze cold as ever. However, there was a hint of mockery deep within his gaze that no one else could make out.

That year when he had fallen into the water, he found out upon awakening that he had been saved by a girl. Not only that, the Lu and Yang Family had agreed to let him marry their daughter.

Upon hearing the news, he was a little nervous and confused. He was filled with a little anticipation as well...Back when he had fallen into the water and was suffocating, he had lost all hope. However, that girl had bravely and courageously pulled him along with all her effort, helping him see a brand new light of hope once more.

After meeting Yang Sitong, he could not sense any bit of the same feeling that he had felt back when he was being saved in the waters for some unknown reason.

Even though he was in a complete daze and could only make out a blurry figure, he could tell that it didn’t seem similar to Yang Sitong.

After a few interactions with this girl, he got to find out that she was rather utilitarian. It seemed as though everyone had a ranking of usefulness in her heart.

Back then, all of them were just Junior High School students. However, she could easily identify whom to talk to first in a crowd, whom not to leave isolated, whom to pander, whom to ignore, who could be bullied, and who could be trampled upon.

There was once when he passed by her school and witnessed her allowing a few other girls to engage in violent bullying of another female student.

If only he had stepped in back then, perhaps...

But, there were so many ‘if only’s’ in life. In any case, a girl like Yang Sitong might be the ideal wife for many people out there, but not for him.

He had requested his dad insistently to head over to the Yang Family and break up this marriage arrangement, but was refused every single time!

...

It didn’t take long before the ride that Lu Yanchen booked arrived. Yang Sitong hopped onto the car and rolled down the windows before waving at him. “I’ll head back then. Have an early night too...Goodnight!”

The car moved forth slowly, and after it turned out of the small neighborhood, her face darkened as she flung the bag in her hands aside furiously.

The driver looked at her through the rearview mirror—the look on the face of this woman was frighteningly scary right now.

Her phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, a voice came over from the other end, “How was it? Have you seen that woman?”

“No, but I’ve asked Auntie Lu. She said that Lu Yanchen had headed over to the beach because he had a lesson to attend.”

“That’s the best scenario. Typically, most swimmers have really thick limbs and arms. The rumors spreading today must be fake. There’s no way Lu Yanchen would take a liking to a girl like that.”

“Yes!” Even though Yang Sitong agreed on the surface, that wasn’t what she was thinking.
