Shi Guang picked up the call . The voice that came over from the other side was not Shen Lingshuang's, but Xiao Bai's . "Sister! I've missed you!"
"I've missed you too! Have you returned home, Xiao Bai?"
"That's right! My birthday is the day after tomorrow, so I've returned with daddy!"
"Ah? It's your birthday the day after tomorrow?"
"That's right! And grandma's too! We share the same birthday, so we grow old together!" He then invited happily . "Sister, come and celebrate my birthday with me!"
With that, Shen Lingshuang took over the call as her tender voice came forth . "Miss Shi, mine and Xiao Bai's birthday is on the day after tomorrow . We've got a small party where we've invited a couple of close friends over . Xiao Bai really wishes that he could get to blow his birthday candles with you, Miss Shi . "

Because the Yangs were invited, Shen Lingshuang had not thought of inviting Shi Guang . Well, just in case she really had something going on with Yanchen, she thought that it might be awkward for Shi Guang if she bumped into Yang Sitong .
However, the moment Xiao Bai got home today, he insisted on having sister attend his birthday party . Naturally, Shen Lingshuang could not bear to reject her grandson, and besides, she trusted that Lu Yanchen would be able to handle the situation well and protect Shi Guang .
'Xiao Bai and Mrs . Lu's birthday?'
If it was merely Mrs . Lu's birthday, she could reject it easily . However, Xiao Bai… Shi Guang found herself incapable of rejecting . Furthermore, they had invited her with such sincerity, and thus, she nodded her head and agreed to it .
'The day after tomorrow?'
That meant that she would have to go prepare a gift for Xiao Bai by tomorrow .

The next day, Shi Guang arranged with Huo Zhan to go to the mall so that he could help pick out some toys that boys would like . Waiting outside the mall, Shi Guang caught sight of a scarf shop . Thinking that it was also Mrs . Lu's birthday, she couldn't be short of a gift .
However, a gift that was too ordinary might fall short of her tastes, while something too expensive wasn't something that Shi Guang could afford .
After choosing for a while in the shop, Shi Guang decided upon a dark red scarf with scattered flowers on it—it was classy and elegant, just nice for someone like Mrs . Lu .
After she was done, she waited by the roadside waiting for Huo Zhan .
Suddenly, a black sedan stopped by the roadside . Dressed in a suit, Yang Chifeng came forth and walked toward her while smiling . "I caught sight of someone that looked like you earlier on . To think that it would really be you . Waiting for someone?"

"Yes, my friend," She did not want to have much contact with Yang Chifeng, let alone talk more to him . Taking a look at the time, she could only wish that Huo Zhan would hurry .
"Lu Yanchen?" He knew all about his sister's foolish acts yesterday . If he hadn't guessed wrongly, the woman at Lu Yanchen's house should have been Shi Guang .
"… No," Shi Guang looked at him while frowning .
"So, you're really familiar with Lu Yanchen, right?" Yang Chifeng started chatting with her .
"We meet more on a work basis . "
"Is that so?" Yang Chifeng acted a little surprised before giving a controlled smile . "So, the woman at Lu Yanchen's house last night wasn't you then?"
Shi Guang's face turned cold immediately . She knew what this man was up to now, but she didn't want to step on the trap .
Yang Chifeng smiled out coolly . "Do you understand what sort of a man Lu Yanchen is?"
"I don't, and I don't have the need to . He is my student—my job is done once he learns to swim," Shi Guang smiled after replying; she had already caught sight of Huo Zhan's car . "If there's nothing else, I'll have to excuse myself, Mr . Yang . My friend has arrived . "
Huo Zhan walked over . Catching sight of a man talking to Shi Guang and her face looking particularly terrible, Huo Zhan asked out in fear of her being bullied, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing… Let's go!"
"Alright," Huo Zhan looked at Yang Chifeng with hostility before putting his arm over Shi Guang's shoulder and walking her into the mall .
Looking at everything, Yang Chifeng merely snorted out coldly .
