His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

The main hall of the banquet was bristling with laughter from the crowd gathered.

Shi Guang was curious as to Qianxun's appearance since the latter had mentioned that she wasn't acquainted with Shen Yiren. If so, why was Qianxun here? To check up on her love rival?

Shi Guang caught sight of Shen Yiren heading over and engaging in hushed conversation with Su Ya.

Sensing her gaze, Su Ya looked over and curled her lips gently. Shi Guang's expression did not change and just like that, the both of them stared at one another till Qianxun caught sight of Shi Guang and walked over.

Su Ya was still with Shen Yiren. Shi Guang did not know what they were talking about, she merely saw Shen Yiren turning back towards Qianxun's back view before nodding to Su Ya.

"Why are you here?" Shi Guang asked with a smile.

"I was invited?"

Shi Guang did not know what to reply for a moment. She then looked at Shen Yiren; even though she wasn't as pretty as Su Ya, Shen Yiren was still a beauty with a unique charm of her own.

"Even if she fancies Lu Yanzhi, that has nothing to do with me. She's not my love rival." Suddenly, that statement popped out of nowhere from Qianxun.

That had Shi Guang surprised - so, Qianxun knows? Shi Guang then asked inquisitively, "Is there really no chance for you and Yanzhi? Do you really not care if he gets together with another woman?"

"Why should I care?" Qianxun shrugged.

"Xiao Bai… say if, I mean if, Xiao Bai is your son, don't you wish to give him a complete family by being together with Yanzhi?" Even though she said if, Shi Guang was certain that Xiao Bai was Qianxun's son.

"What era are we living in? There are plenty of divorced couples. Are there even people who stay together because of their kids anymore? Even if Xiao Bai was my son, I wouldn't get together with Lu Yanzhi. Shi Guang, I no longer recall if I've told you this before, but I'm going to reiterate it today once more, I've never ever been in a relationship with Lu Yanzhi, got it? That's why it's impossible between us." Qianxun said every word with firmness.

"I know that feelings aren't something that can be forced. But I just have a feeling that Yanzhi does fancy you. Couldn't you just give him a chance?"

There are only two things you can't hide in this world: Love and coughs.

However, as an outsider, Shi Guang could merely advise - it is still up to those involved to come to a decision of their own.

She merely wished that the people she loved and those who loved her to be happy.

"Fancy? Perhaps, if I was 20 years old, I would have considered that. But at my age, what comes into consideration for marriage isn't love, it's whether we're compatible." Qianxun said pragmatically.

Shi Guang was speechless and could only sigh in her heart.

She did feel that it would be quite a pity if Yanzhi and Qianxun did not end up being together.

It was extremely happening at the banquet. The first half of it was filled with drinks and dances while the second half was to soak in the onsen. Some girls bathed together with their cliques, some men bathed with their brothers while some lovers bathed together… but Shi Guang could not get in since she was pregnant and hence she could only sit down and eat.

Wang Caichun and Qianxun accompanied her.

Shen Yiren did not get in as well as she was somewhat worn out from entertaining the guests. Walking over to Shi Guang's group with a wine glass, she raised her glass with a bright smile.

Everyone else raised theirs in return and had a sip with her.

After their drinks, Shen Yiren looked at Qianxun and asked in a seemingly pleading tone, "Qianxun, could I speak with you in private?"

Shi Guang exchanged glances with Wang Caichun before locking their gazes onto Qianxun and Shen Yiren.

Qianxun gave a charming smile before nodding her head. "Of course, why not?"
